REMEMBER WHAT GOD CALLS YOU!!

"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said...Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace...But if not, O King, we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image..Daniel: 3:16-18. My friend, have you ever had to really stand up for what you believe at great personal cost? Nebuchadnezar gave them these name which expressed worship heathen gods. The real names, however, were Hananiah (Jehovah is gracious), Mishael (who is like God), and Azariah (Jehovah has helped). When pagan king threw them into fiery furnace, the names God called them prevailed, isn't it? Nebuchadnezar tried to change the name on the package, but he could not change the contents of their heart. I would imagine those boys were having a praise and worship jumping up and down and shouting "who is like our God (clap clap)- Jehovah is gracious (clap clap)- smelling each others hair and cloths - Jehovah helped (clap clap). This tells me "when you are going through trials, agonizing, the answer doesn't line up with your circumstances, your body is affected by pain and terrible diseases, accidents, rebellious children, mistreated, talked about, insulted, ignored, family crisis, cursed, abused, and said "good for nothing",persecuted etc. then, CALL IT WHAT CALLS IT. Hey hey, the Word of the Lord stands alone with merit, doesn't need mediator, advocate, or witnesses- HE WILL DO IT AGAIN. Look the enemy in the eye and say " I am anointed, I am covered in His blood, comforted by His presence, kept in His marvelous grace, fearless: Satan you the father of lies- I hear you knocking but no chance- I know my identity in Christ- get your weapons and flee in the name of Jesus.. My Jesus calls me blessed and His beloved. OK OK . Thank you Jesus... Hallelujah /////. Am I preaching today or what!
