    About this ebook

    GOD CAN USE STUBBORN PEOPLE.

    In the book of Daniel, the reigns of four powerful kings—Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Darius, and Cyrus the Great—stand out as significant symbols during the Jewish people's 70 years in Babylonian captivity. Although each of these rulers came from pagan backgrounds, all were ultimately used as instruments in God's hand, with the final king freeing the Jewish people through an unlikely decree.

    This study guide is a companion to the DVD and is designed for group study or individual reflection. Pastor Robert Morris brings
    to life the stories of these four ancient kings and relates them to the struggles God's people still face today. You will learn how to:
    • Recognize the attacks of the enemy
    • Exchange stubbornness for intimacy with God and others
    • Avoid the spiritual blindness caused by pride
    • Humble yourself before God

    God's redemptive plan awaits us all.

      The seduction of pride

      We all struggle with pride sometimes. God has to correct us when

      we are prideful, but He also restores us when we look to Him for help.

      The book of Daniel deals with the 70-year period known as the Exile, when God took His people out of the land of Israel and brought them into captivity in the land of Babylon. God was disciplining (or correcting) His children, but He was not punishing them. God doesn’t punish us, because He already punished His Son on the cross for our sins. Instead, He
