Daniel 10:10-21
A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.
Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days...Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.
I said to the one standing before me, “I am overcome with anguish because of the vision, my lord, and I feel very weak. How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe. Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength. “Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.”
So he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece will come; but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. (No one supports me against them except Michael, your prince.
He is given insight into the continual battle raging in the spiritual realm between those protecting God's people and those bent on their destruction. Michael is the special guardian angel of the Jewish people. The 'princes' in this chapter are patron angels of the various nations.
Why?
Daniel prayed for the matter of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, so God sent the angel to Daniel to tell him what will happen in the future and it is written in the Book of Truth.
Daniel is a blessed and chosen one who has the spirit of the Lord, and he may know in the fight in heaven and in the world.
Daniel set his mind to gain understanding and humble himself before God, so God sent the angel to tell him about the future.

路上雖然有攔阻,有爭戰,但是仍然不能阻擋天使長來告訴但以理,神迫切希望回應但以理的禱告。波斯王後面的邪靈,因為仇敵強勢所以派天使長來。我們禱告時好像看不見禱告的結果時,神的回應已經下達,只是中途有爭戰。魔鬼最怕我們讀了神的話,明白神的旨意。聖靈的寶劍就是神的話,是我們屬靈軍裝中唯一可以攻擊的武器。
我們領受神的道之前,要先有神的恩典,否則我們無法聽懂,前提要有願做的心,願意站起來!

How?
What I am searching for? But be humble myself before the Lord, obey for what the Lord gives to me the way and the word.
