A Faith That Overcomes The Fire
Text: Daniel 3:1-30
Introduction:
The 3 Hebrew boys were about to face a time that would make them or break them — a day of destiny & design. We must understand that we have modern day Fiery Furnaces, most of us fail to see the reality of this truth.
The Faulty Figure — A Picture Of Compromise (v.1-6)
*** A Day Of Challenge & Decision ***
Do you have any faulty figures standing in your way?
A decision must be made concerning this issue!!!
Why do we so easily compromise & give in to Satan?
Would you rather compromise than be ridiculed for Jesus?
The Favored's Faith — A Picture Of Commitment
(v.16-18)
*** A Day Of Courage & Destiny ***
These boys were ready for this terrible hour.
They had a faith that was bold and unbendable!!
Courage comes through prayer and the Word.
How committed are you to God & your faith?
The choice was bend & bow or believe & burn, your choice!!!
Why will we not go ahead and pray at school, or why can we not go ahead & carry our Bible's to school or work. Is it okay that the Ten Commandments are being torn down all over our nation?
The Fiery Furnace — A Picture Of Combat. (v.19-23)
*** A Day Of Charges & Danger ***
Satan hates everything about God & Christianity
He will turn the heat up when we refuse to give in, stay tough!!!
Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world, thank God!!
The Fourth Figure — A Picture Of Comfort (v.24-27)
*** A Day Of Confidence & Dismay
Jesus showed up right in the midst of the fire, he always does.
Be confident my friend, Jesus loves you this I know — the Bible tells me so, & He has proven it over & over.
Let not your heart be troubled, what God done way back yonder, He will show up on our behalf today. He is Present Help in a Time of NEED!!!!
Prove your faith by trusting in Jesus.
The Fabulous Finish — A Picture Of Commendation (v.28-30)
*** A Day Of Cheer & Delight ***
When it was all said and done, they came out victorious.
It all worked out for the best in all of their lives.
Their faith provided an abundant life for each one of them.
