The Iowa Conference hosted the first planning session of The Daniel Project, designed to organize a group of spiritually motivated young people to reach their generation with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
The key verses are:
” … but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits [take action]. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many … And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them wait, until the time of the end …” Dan 11:32b–33, Dan 11:35
In the above passage, we see five great undertakings of faithful believers in the end times. To be accurate, this passage is speaking specifically of Jewish believers during the Tribulation Period. However, we have every reason to adapt it to these closing moments of the Church Age.

The Divine Mentor #6

Psa 23:1-6 The "rod and staff" are discipline and instruction -- Heb 12:5-11, Isa 53:6, 1Pe 2:25. "You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies"We are also warrior Eph 6, 1Co 10, 2Ti 2. We are guests in the house of God; the enemy drives us to the Word to seek guidance (1Pe 5:6-11). Joh 6:35 - it is the Word that is the feast (Rev 3:19-20). Mat 5:6 - Jesus says well be satisfied if we hunger and thirst. Endurance is built by: temptation (Jam 1:12), trail (1Co10:13), discipline (Heb 12:5-7), reaping what we've sown ( Gal 6:7-9), overcoming (1Jo 5:4,5, Rev 12:11). "You annoint my head with oil". -- God in 1Sa 16:12-13 David was annointed for special purpose; Elisha was set apart in 1Ki 19:16. 1Co 12:13 we're annointed by the Holy Spirit (1Co 12:7 - spiritual gift and enablement - 1Jo 2:27). Priests are annointed; we are priests 1Pe 5:9, Rev 5:10; we are to offer prayers on behalf of other people. "My cup runs over" -- is a picture of rejoicing in our soul (Eph 1:5, Eph 1:9, Eph 1:11, Phi 4:4, 1Th 5:17-18). Phi 4:13-19 says He daily pours His strength into us. Others will be blessed by the overflow (Phi 1:12-18). "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of our lives"; our lives are measured in days (Lam 3:23, Heb 3:15). Goodness pours out in never-ending Grace (2Co 12:9, Rom 8:28, Gen 50:20, Joh 4:24); mercy holds back in patience; He protects and delivers; mercy cleanses us (1Jo 1:7-9, Psa 24:4, 2Pe 3:9). "I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever" is a declaration of certainty. Heb 3:1-5 - house of service that Jesus built. Heb 2:11 - the household and family of God. 1Jo 1:4 - house of fellowship and communion. 2Co 5:1-7 says that whether present or absent, or live or die we'll be with the Lord. Joh 14:1-3 Jesus pictures the "house" as many mansions -- a royal residence in the New Jerusalem custom made for us (Rev 21:1-7).

From Series: "The Divine Mentor"

The Divine Mentor is God the Holy Spirit. God answered Jesus' prayer to provide us the Spirit not just to be with us but in us -- to pray with us labor with us to guide us teach us and equip us -- the goal being that we'd be prepared for the troubled times in which we live.
