When does the Christian community need to come back to the basic tenet of prayer?
The Christian community needs to return to the basic tenet of prayer in the present day—the day in which we live. This is the time when such a return is most needed, according to the teaching drawn from Daniel chapter 6.
Les explains that if ever there has been a time when the Christian community needs to come back to the basic tenet of prayer, it is the day in which we live. He digresses from the prophetic aspect for one program to talk about prayer, taking it from the setting in Daniel chapter 6 because they like to do everything as much as possible according to the Scriptures. In Daniel 6, the decree has come out by the king because of those who hated Daniel and knew his prayer habits. Unbeknown to the king, they got him to sign a decree that everyone must pray and bow the knee only to the king of the Medes and Persians, which puts Daniel on the outside. Les then directs attention to Daniel 6:10.
