- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early what he praise party. I am Sherry
- 0:04Speaker 1: Mackie at his time right now. Four Today's word fireproof faith,
- 0:12Speaker 1: fireproof faith. Daniel three twenty five says, look, he answered,
- 0:18Speaker 1: I see four men loose, walking in the midst of
- 0:22Speaker 1: the fire, and they are not hurt. And the form
- 0:26Speaker 1: of the fourth is like the son of Man you know.
- 0:30Speaker 1: In Daniel chapter three, three Hebrew teenagers Shaddrak, Mishak, and
- 0:36Speaker 1: abet Nago were commanded to bow before King Nebuca Nazar's
- 0:41Speaker 1: golden idol. Everyone else compromised, but they refused. Their obedience
- 0:48Speaker 1: cost them everything. They were bound and thrown into a
- 0:53Speaker 1: furnace so hot that the soldiers who carried them in
- 0:57Speaker 1: were instantly killed. From every natural perspective, this was the
- 1:03Speaker 1: end of their story. But God had already written a
- 1:07Speaker 1: different end, and come on, Jesus. Instead of three bodies
- 1:11Speaker 1: burning in the flames, the king looked again and saw
- 1:14Speaker 1: something impossible. The ropes that bound them were gone, the
- 1:18Speaker 1: fire had no power over them, and walking among them
- 1:22Speaker 1: was a fourth man, the presence of God himself. Come on, Jesus,
- 1:28Speaker 1: I want you to notice this. God didn't keep them
- 1:31Speaker 1: out of the fire. He met them in the fire. Ooh, wait,
- 1:37Speaker 1: for everybody going through the fire season, I'm just saying
- 1:39Speaker 1: there are seasons when God doesn't remove the challenge immediately.
- 1:44Speaker 1: He allows you to walk through it, but he never
- 1:47Speaker 1: allows you to walk through it alone. What was meant
- 1:51Speaker 1: to destroy you becomes a very place where His power
- 1:55Speaker 1: is revealed. You may feel surrounded today, surrounded by pressure,
- 2:00Speaker 1: surrounded by a bad diagnosis, surrounded by financial strain, surrounded
- 2:05Speaker 1: by betrayal, surrounded by fear or exhaustion. The situation feels
- 2:11Speaker 1: intense and the heat is real. But here's what you
- 2:15Speaker 1: need to know. What surrounds you does not define you.
- 2:21Speaker 1: What surrounds that defines everything. Ello. The fire looks big
- 2:28Speaker 1: to you, but God has the fire surrounded That sickness
- 2:32Speaker 1: may look final, but God speaks life. Death has to
- 2:37Speaker 1: back up. That addiction may feel stronger than your willpower,
- 2:41Speaker 1: but the Fourth Man breaks the chains that human strength
- 2:45Speaker 1: could never That situation meant to shame you will become
- 2:50Speaker 1: the testimony that promotes you. Just like those Hebrew boys.
- 2:54Speaker 1: You may go into the fire bound, but you're gonna
- 2:57Speaker 1: come out free. They went in tied up but walked
- 3:00Speaker 1: out loose. The fire didn't touch their bodies, only what
- 3:04Speaker 1: was holding them back. Sometimes the very thing meant to
- 3:08Speaker 1: destroy you is what God uses to deliver you. So
- 3:11Speaker 1: don't you dare panic when the heat rises. Don't assume
- 3:14Speaker 1: that the pressure means defeat. If you're still standing, if
- 3:19Speaker 1: you're still breathing, if you're still believing, that means God
- 3:23Speaker 1: is already in the fire with you. And when the
- 3:25Speaker 1: fourth man shows up, the fire has no choice but
- 3:30Speaker 1: to lose. Hello, somebody, Father, thank you that no matter
- 3:34Speaker 1: what surrounds us, you are greater. Thank you that you
- 3:38Speaker 1: walk with us in every fire, and that nothing, no thing,
- 3:42Speaker 1: can touch our lives without first passing through your hands. God,
- 3:46Speaker 1: we trust you to protect us. We trust you to
- 3:48Speaker 1: deliver us. We trust you to turn our challenges into testimonies. God,
- 3:52Speaker 1: we declare that we are not consumed. We are covered
- 3:56Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your word for today.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Take an apply to your everyday life and you continue
- 4:02Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. It's early boding praise party.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie
