Taking it further to help you THRIVE…

  1. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?


2. Why did Nebuchadnezzar insist the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers tell him his dream before interpreting it? Based on other prophecies in the Bible, what proof is given that it is from God? Give examples. (2 Cor 11:13, Titus 1:16, Deut 18:20, 1 Kings 18:20, Jere 5:31, Jere 23:16)


3. When Daniel was faced with the possibility of his death, he responded with “wisdom and tact” (Daniel 2:14). What helped Daniel respond in that way? How do you respond in the face of extreme danger? How can Daniel’s example help you? (Daniel 2:14, Exodus 3:11-12, 1 Samuel 17:32-37, Esther 4:16)


4. How do you define prophecy? Have you ever experienced prophecy (Seen or heard someone prophecy)? If yes, what was the circumstance? (2 Peter 1:21, 1 Cor 14:3, Isaiah 2:18-21, Micah 5:2, Matt 1:22-23)


5. Daniel prayed for God to reveal the mystery of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. What are some other examples in the Bible where God has revealed a mystery? Do you have a personal example of God revealing a mystery to you? (Dan 2:28, Job 12:22, Jere 33:3, Eph 6:19, Matt 13:11)


6. David presented the idea that Satan does not want you to hear or receive prophetic messages. Why do you think that is true? (2 Cor 2:11, Ephesians 2:2, Job 2:6, Rev 2:10, John 8:34, 2 Cor 4:4)


7. Daniel talked about a stone crushing the statue in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. What is that stone? How does knowing about the stone help your faith today? (Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, Psalm 118:22, 1 Peter 2:6)
