7. 3. FATHER’S VIEW OF BELIEVERS

8. Jesus has made us kings and priests to our God – Revelation 1: 6 (NKV) But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light - 1 Peter 2: 9 (NKV)

As Kings, we bring the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven

10. KEYS TO CONSISTENT PRAYER LIFESTYLE

11. SELF-DISCIPLINE
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile (taint, dishonour) himself with the [f]king’s finest food or with the wine which the king drank; so he asked the commander of the officials that he might [be excused so that he would] not defile himself. Daniel 1:8 (AMP)

12. FAITH IN GOD
“So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation Daniel 2: 16

13. PRAYER PARTNER
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, 18 that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel2:

14. PRAY THE WORD
In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes Daniel 9: 1 - 3

15. BE OPEN TO SPIRITUAL ENCOUNTER
Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the [c]Tigris, 5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in colour, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude Daniel 10 4, 5
