In Daniel 6:3 the Word of God says, "Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him and the King thought to set him over the whole realm." This excellent spirit in Daniel and his three friends is also known as faithfulness. Joseph was faithful and David was faithful. In this series we're going to look at faithfulness and it's characteristics. Faithfulness grants promotion from God. All of us would love to be promoted so let's learn what it means to have an excellent spirit... 0:20 In Daniel 6 King Darius wanted to make Daniel head over his house because he found an excellent spirit in Daniel. We want to keep looking at what that means. 1:40 To have an excellent spirit means to have a good attitude, the word spirit in this verse means mental disposition. Daniel, even though Israel was in captivity kept a good mental disposition of the highest quality. 4:50 You have to establish your identity with God and not compromise on His Word and then you will see the blessings of God on your life. 6:40 The King had a dream and none of his wise men could interpret the dream ,but Daniel's favor with God enabled him to interpret the dream. Facing death the night before Daniel slept soundly because he had total trust and confidence in the truth of God's Word to him. 10:50 Maybe you have a natural ability to do something. We write it off thinking we have this great ability but God has given us our abilities. The truth is, if you have any good in you - it's from God. 14:10 In Daniel 2:30 - Daniel gives God the glory for his abilities. 16:55 James 4:6 Stay meek before God. "God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble." 19:25 True humility is not to speak pridefully of yourself OR not to debase yourself. True humility is simply speaking truthfully. 21:15 True humility is saying about yourself what God says and not worrying about what people think. Humility is not having an agenda one way or the other. 22:30 Humility is an essential part of having an excellent spirit. ========================================­==== Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ========================================­==============
