Here this we is for all of your subjects to bow before it, but we Now there were some Babylonian captives, I'm sure Who were influenced by what? the nation had

00:07:08.480 - 00:07:26.040

They saw the glory of Babylon And they thought it would be well for them to comply with the king's command, but these three These three Hebrew young men Purposed in their hearts

00:07:26.040 - 00:07:39.680

That they would not bow. They would not obey the King's command and they said Oh King we are not careful to answer you in this matter

00:07:39.680 - 00:07:59.020

Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery Furnace listen to those words. He's able to deliver us from the burning

00:07:59.020 - 00:08:13.640

Fiery furnace Now every furnace is not a burning furnace We have fireplace in our home

00:08:13.720 - 00:08:31.900

It's a fireplace that works you can burn wood in it, but most of the time there's no fire in it It's not a burning fiery furnace on a regular basis So This is a furnace

00:08:31.900 - 00:08:51.020

That no doubt nephew Kinesa has and he uses it from time to time There are times when you could have gone in and looked at the furnace examined it, and it would have been perfectly safe to do so. But this furnace that Nebuchadnezzar

00:08:51.020 - 00:09:07.740

threatens these who disobey his command is a burning, fiery furnace. Burning, fiery furnace. Some people use the furnace to describe a certain period

00:09:07.740 - 00:09:22.100

of their lives. And they say that they may have snow on the roof and fire in the furnace. [LAUGHTER]

00:09:22.100 - 00:09:46.120

This furnace has to do with life. Vigor has to do with that which makes us who we are. burning, burning, zealous, burning, fiery furnace. They're to be cast in.

00:09:46.120 - 00:10:19.080

That's just quite a threat to face. But it's not to be something to be taken lightly. The speech of these three boys is a courageous act. act. It is, as older people used to say, it took a lot of nerve, takes a lot of courage

00:10:19.080 - 00:10:59.520

for them to take that position. But they said we will not bow, and not only did they emphasize the fact that they would not bow, they said, "Our God is able." He's able. He is able to deliver us from the burning, fiery furnace. He's able, able to deliver us. Some of the theologians during the 60s made a distinction between freedom and deliverance.

00:10:59.520 - 00:11:26.520

And they defined freedom as being that which requires human efforts. In other words, we've got to get out there and help ourselves if we want to be free. And we use human effort to a great extent to attain our freedom. But deliverance, they were saying, is total dependence on God.

00:11:26.520 - 00:11:51.520

You're in a situation where you know that you couldn't have made it by all that you have and everything that's available to you. And God steps right in and delivers us. You were in a well and there was no way for you to get out. But God miraculously intervenes.

00:11:51.520 - 00:12:12.520

He invades the situation. And so these three boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego say, "Our God is able." He may not deliver us. He may not choose to do it. but even if he does not deliver us, we're not going to bow.

00:12:12.520 - 00:12:28.620

We're not going to bow. Our God. Now there are those of us here who hear this testimony rehearsed over and over again

00:12:28.620 - 00:12:46.260

in scripture, and we know that some people here Among us this morning who know that God is able. He's able to deliver us. No matter what nebuchadnezzar may decree.

00:12:46.260 - 00:13:05.780

No matter what may be his power. No matter how serious may be his threats. That our God is able to deliver us from the threats of Nebuchadnezzar

00:13:05.780 - 00:13:16.500

and he's able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. He's able.

00:13:16.500 - 00:13:26.100

He's able. Well, Nebuchadnezzar listened to their testimony

00:13:26.100 - 00:13:51.180

but the time came for him to implement his decree and they were cast into the fiery furnace, the burning fiery furnace. But before they were cast into the burning fiery furnace, that furnace, the fire in the furnace, was

00:13:51.180 - 00:14:11.700

heated seven times more than before. So much so that the men who built the furnace, the So much so that the men who brought them to be cast into the furnace fell back And were unable to survive

00:14:11.700 - 00:14:34.980

So great was it but they went into the fiery furnace. You know sometimes God Permits us to be cast into a fiery furnace what is being witnessed by the victims of the hurricane is a fiery furnace.

00:14:34.980 - 00:15:18.480

And God has permitted that to happen and many times he permits difficulties and almost impossible circumstances to occur in our lives that we may all the more recognize more clearly and more definitely that God is God. And beside Him there is none other. In other words, maybe Canaza is trying to compel them to worship an image that's really not God. In fact, the first commandment says, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God.

00:15:18.480 - 00:15:35.480

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto me any grave an image." You must recognize that I'm God. And so they're really standing on that commandment.

00:15:35.480 - 00:15:54.480

Amen. And so they're cast into the fire of furnace. And Nebuchadnezzar and members of his court are there watching. And they see them in the furnace.

00:15:54.480 - 00:16:02.480

Yes. And they are walking around. Yes. In the furnace.

00:16:02.480 - 00:16:14.160

And then they walk and talk in the furnace. But as he looks, he said, did we cast three in there? - That's what he said. That's what he said.

00:16:14.160 - 00:16:22.080

- Yes, yes. He said, but I see four. - Yes, Lord. - And this fourth one looks like the son of God.

00:16:22.080 - 00:16:35.480

- Amen. - Walking in the fire. When God permits us to be cast into the fiery furnace, And the wonderful thing is

00:16:35.480 - 00:16:45.600

that God himself walks with us in the fiery firmament. And as he walks with us, he talks with us and we are able to sing

00:16:45.600 - 00:17:07.580

songs of joy, songs of conviction, songs of hope and blessed assurance as we walk around in the firmament. And the wonderful thing is he air-conditioned the furnace.

00:17:07.580 - 00:17:47.580

The air-conditioned it so that we can stay in the air and enjoy the furnace. Do you know that's true? I visited people who were up in years and had ailments and the like and they were singing songs of joy. They were in the furnace, but they were walking around in the furnace singing songs of joy because the Lord God himself had air conditioned the furnace in which they were walking.

00:17:47.580 - 00:18:03.580

So that's good news. That's good news. And I know it's true from my own experience that those of you who testified this morning

00:18:03.580 - 00:18:24.580

that it's true. So when you're cast into the fire of furnace and you have the assurance that the Son of of God is in there with you, you can rejoice. You can rejoice.

00:18:24.580 - 00:18:46.240

Rejoice. Jesus Christ is enough. That's all you need. As the song say, "If Jesus goes with me, I'll go anywhere. To the heaven, to me, even though there may be hell around you, it's ♪ Heaven to me where I may be ♪

00:18:46.240 - 00:19:00.320

♪ If he is there ♪ I can walk not only in the furnace, the fiery furnace, but I can walk through it if Jesus is with me. That's good news.

00:19:00.320 - 00:19:18.240

That's very good news. So through floods, through floods and flames, If Jesus leaves, I'll follow where he goes.

00:19:18.240 - 00:19:47.120

Hinder me not will be my plea, though earth and hell oppose. That's good news. They walk around in the furnaces. furnace. Nebuchadnezzar draws close and looks and sees that they are preserved through the fire.

00:19:47.120 - 00:20:15.400

And they're brought out and he says, "Cursed be those who are enemies of those three Hebrew boys, let them be cursed. Those who brought charges against them, let them be punished.

00:20:15.400 - 00:20:29.720

Not only let them be punished, but let their families be punished. So those who sought to bring this hardship, this persecution upon the people of God are punished.

00:20:31.720 - 00:20:48.280

and their families are punished. But the three Hebrew brothers who were faithful to God are blessed. In fact, they are promoted.

00:20:48.280 - 00:21:13.260

You know, God has a way that if you really are faithful to him, he'll promote you in Babylon. And so they are promoted. And this record is left here for us to see that God is with us as we come to the experience of the burning fire of ferny.

00:21:13.260 - 00:21:35.060

Amen. Maybe you haven't gotten there yet, but there is this experience for all of the people of God. I used to hear older people talk about it. But just the other year, I had the experience myself

00:21:35.060 - 00:21:51.560

of being cast into the fiery furnace. It came, they put you on the cart, and pushed you through those doors. And your wife, your children, they're all outside somewhere,

00:21:51.560 - 00:22:01.200

but they can only come so far. but you have to go into that burning, fiery furnace alone. - Amen, amen.

00:22:01.200 - 00:22:08.640

- But when you get in there and the heat intensifies, there's somebody who

00:22:08.640 - 00:22:16.040

comes there to be with you. - Yes. - He said, when you walk through the fire,

00:22:16.040 - 00:22:22.120

I'll be with you. - Yes. - When the flood come against you,

00:22:22.120 - 00:22:25.600

I'll be with you. - Amen. - I'm so glad. - Yes Lord.

00:22:25.600 - 00:22:33.240

- I'm so glad that we have this God with us every step of the way. - Yes Lord. - So glad.

00:22:33.240 - 00:22:46.020

- Amen. - Fiery furnace. Fiery furnace. God leads his dear children alone.

00:22:46.020 - 00:23:07.260

Some through the fire. Some through the flood. Some through dark trials, but all through the blood. So I don't know what your furnace may be.

00:23:07.260 - 00:23:20.220

Mine was double pneumonia. Yours may be cancer. Many of us may have arthritis and all of those things. We may have disappointment.

00:23:20.220 - 00:23:31.820

Maybe we came through a nasty divorce. Whatever that furnace is, God will be with you. And not only enable you to walk around it, he will lead you through it.

00:23:31.820 - 00:23:41.420

So thank God this morning. Thank God for the furnaces of life. Thank God. Yes Lord.
