SUBJECT: IT CAME TO DESTROY YOU; BUT IT CAN’T YOU’RE FIREPROOF.
Daniel 3:24-25 ~ New King James Version
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?”
They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”
25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”
Verse 24: The King was surprised so he got up in a hurry to ask his advisors didn’t we tie up three men and throw them in the fire?; and they confirmed that he was right.
It’s interesting that people know what they’ve done to you. They know that they hurt you, lied on you, scandalized your name, and did everything they could to cause you pain. But they can’t believe that you’re still standing after everything that you’ve been through.
IT CAME TO DESTROY YOU; BUT IT CAN’T YOU’RE FIREPROOF.
Oh yes, they’re watching you and they can’t believe what they’re eyes see. So, they have to call around and verify; didn’t this or that happen to them and they’re still standing? They haven’t lost their mind yet? They’re actually doing better right now than they were before? I just saw them and they’re still speaking and smiling and looking good.
IT CAME TO DESTROY YOU; BUT IT CAN’T YOU’RE FIREPROOF.
Verse 25: The King told them to look at what was going on in the furnace where he ordered Shadrach, Meshachand Abednego to be thrown. He knew three men were thrown in but he saw four freely walking around in the fire and the fourth man looked like God’s Son; Jesus.
In the midst of all they are doing; have done and will continue to do Jesus is in the furnace with you. What they’re doing can’t bind you up; you’re free; and not only are you free but you can move around while you’re going through it.
IT CAME TO DESTROY YOU; BUT IT CAN’T YOU’RE FIREPROOF.
No one can bind you up but you. No one can stop you from moving or make you stagnate but you. Keep moving Jesus is in the fire with you. Take your eyes off the situation and refocus them on Jesus.
IT CAME TO DESTROY YOU; BUT IT CAN’T YOU’RE FIREPROOF.
