And I hope that you have found a deacon that you can once again help sponsor. They should have harassed all of you. Amen. And if not, come tell me. Amen. Because it is for an important endeavor, and I think we can do it. Come on, let's give God praise in advance. And then secondly, thank you for your benevolence in us helping those who have been affected by the government shutdown. Not just two, but some three paychecks. So I hope that you gave today so that we can help that. And on this Wednesday, there are 44 TSA agents here. And on this Wednesday, the regional director is coming to meet with us because we want to do something special for them. So because of your giving, you're gonna help us sponsor lunch for them. And those things that they're doing. Give yourselves a hand for just the prevalence and gratitude as you are. And I'm always in awe of you, Tabernacle, how you once again embrace being the hands and feet of Jesus. And every little bit helps. And once again, as I tell everyone, you ought to give because you never know when the shoes gonna be on the other foot. And we hope that we can just give a little relief to those who go through difficult times such as this.
Daniel chapter 3. We're going to conclude chapter 3 today. We can read into verse 19 and conclude verse 27. And here is the word of God. Nebuchadnezzar, his face purple with anger, cut off Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace fired up seven times hotter than usual. He ordered some strong men from the army to tie them up, hands and feet, and throw them into the roaring furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, bound hand and foot, fully dressed from head to toe, were pitched into the roaring fire. Because the king was in such a hurry, the furnace was so hot, flames from the furnace killed the men who carried Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. While the fire raged around Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Wow. Suddenly, King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in alarm and said, "Didn't we throw three men, bound hand and foot, into the fire?" "This right, old king," they said. "But look, I see four men walking around freely in the fire, completely unharmed. The fourth man looks like the Son of God." Nebuchadnezzar went to the door of the roaring furnace and called, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out here!" Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked out of the fire. All the important people, the government leaders, and king's counselors gathered around to examine them and discover that the fire had so much as touched the three men. Not a hair singed, not a scorch mark on their clothes, not even the smell of fire on them.
For the time which is ours, I want to trouble your patience just a little while, guys. I want to talk for this. Started a fireproof faith. Look at someone, it's a neighbor. I don't know about you, but I want a faith that's fireproof. Lift those hands to heaven, say, "Lord, speak. We need to hear." Maybe seated in the presence of our fireproof faith. I know this is hard to hear, but I want to submit to you today that it is better sometimes going through it than to avoid it. That's part of the economy of the kingdom. Is that he allows some things to happen. And as much as it is tiring, and many of our expectations perhaps again in it, we don't understand that there are greater lessons that God wants to teach us in the going through. But I feel you, because the tension of that is for many of us is that we have a hard time embracing moments that oftentimes stretch us and put us into the unknown. It's difficult, my brothers and sisters, having to embrace the process of pain, or for the sake of many of our situations, those experiences we can only call fiery trials. Fiery trials are unique, my brothers and sisters. That's what the enemy tries to throw our way. That in essence, trying to get us not to commit wholeheartedly to God. And many times, fire comes as a consequence because of our faithfulness and fidelity to God. But I'm here to tell you today, my brothers and sisters, that all of us will have to experience fire. But I'm here to tell you that God gets glory going through it, then us just trying to avoid it on our own. That being said, I think that's powerful for us to recognize because there is a difference between going through and going to. Sweet singer of Israel wrote into Psalm 23rd. He suggested it around the full version, "I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." He understood that "through" means that after a while, I'd get through this. But God didn't intend for us to go to it. He intended for us to go through it. That's what brings us.
As we come to the conclusion of chapter 3 of Daniel, it's interesting. Now, these three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. You do understand they made a decision to have the convictions of their, of the commitment of their convictions. And what happened was, they decided not to bow for the golden statue of King Nebuchadnezzar. And because of that, my brothers and sisters, now they have to face the consequences. Because the consequences of their convictions was that they would be thrown in a fiery furnace. But as the story concludes, my brothers and sisters, they go in one way, but they leave another. Matter of fact, when they leave out, they have no traces of even being in it. And here's the good news. God has promoted, and they are once again raised to a better level in Babylon. In other words, my brothers and sisters, I'm here to tell you that what God wants you to understand is that when you go through things, my prayer is that you are fire-resistant and not fire-retardant. It's a different. Fire retardant means you burn slowly, but you still burn. But when God has a faith, when God has us, when we are mature and understanding who God is, he doesn't make us fire retardant, he makes us fire-resistant. Which means that no matter how hot it gets, it still can't burn our faith. I don't know how come to preach to you today. I'm not sure where you are. I'm not sure this adjourn or journey or the placement that you are. But God sent me to tell you, just hang on in there. Because at the end of the day, because you stay faithful to God, God will make your faith a fireproof. I got good news to let you know, my brothers and sisters. Here is a good takeaway point. There is favor in the fire. That there are some things that you'll only get by going through. That's good news for us today, my brothers and sisters. Because I think this text highlights for us the fact that when we stay committed to God through the entire process, not only does he make our faith fireproof, but he also makes our favor foolproof. I got good news to tell you, my brothers and sisters. Not only will he encourage your faith, but you also dispense his favor. That's all I came to tell you.
So let me share what I think this text is conveying. I know this is a familiar passage, so hopefully we can get some fresh water from a familiar well. Here it is, my brothers and sisters. The first principle that I think begins to give us in this text is that when we understand that our faith could be fireproof, the first thing we learn is that increased hostility leads to ineffective revenge. I'm here to tell you, my brothers and sisters, that the worse the enemy tries to do to you, will end up backfiring on the enemy. That's what takes place. And as we began reading this, and I want you to understand that how these three Hebrew boys find themselves in this predicament is that even when you're right, you can end up being wrong. And so that's what happens. Because in order to understand what takes place in verse 19, you have to remember what took place in 16, 17, and 18. Remember, King Nebuchadnezzar erected this golden statue. Word got back to him that these three Hebrew boys were not bowing down to his image. So what does he do? He pulls them aside, says, "Listen, I'm gonna give you one last chance. I'm gonna do a special shutdown. Let the band play one time, and y'all need to bow at my image." Which I remember what three Hebrew boys did. They began to say, "Brother, we, you obviously don't know who we are. We're not worried about what you do or what schemes you come up with. First of all, our God can deliver us. But if not, check this out. Even if we have to perish, check this, we're not gonna bow or worship your God." Verse 19 picks up the thought because at that moment, King Nebuchadnezzar turns angry. He is upset. In verse 19, matter of fact, when you read the verbage of the text, it seems to suggest that his whole countenance changed. His face shifts into rage, and now he's going to enact the condemnation and the judgment that he said would come as a consequence of them not bowing down. So what does he decide to do? He wants to throw them in a fiery furnace. And he gets some of his men to bind their hands and their feet. You gotta catch this, because when we look at this on his own, on his own merit, that's bad enough. A regular fiery furnace and regular men binding them, throwing them in the fire. Friends, but notice because of his anger, because of his narcissism, he increases the hostility. It's not just gonna be a regular fiery furnace, but I'm gonna blow it up seven times hotter than normal. And check this out, I'm not just gonna get any meaner to bind you up, I'm gonna get the strongest men of my army to bind your hands and your feet. Here is the interesting thing, my brothers and sisters, because I think it's important to note that first of all, if I had time, I would tell you, it's intriguing to me that the enemy decided to use God's number seven as always God's number. And you got to be careful whenever you try to infringe upon God's copyright. However, that's not what blesses me. Because if you study scripture, that term "seven times" simply means to be made as hot as possible. See, if he really wanted to let them agonize, he would have lessened the heat of the fiery furnace. And guess why that would have been significant? Then they would have burned a lot longer. But he wanted to make it as hot as possible so that as soon as they touched the fire, instantaneously they would be killed. So he gets his strongest men. He decides to tell them to get the hands and feet of these three boys. And the text says that they bind them up. Check this out, and they toss them in the fire. And what was supposed to instantly kill the three Hebrew boys, the text says it ends up turning the tables and killing the strong men that were binding up the three Hebrew boys. Y'all got to catch that. That's significant, my brothers and sisters. Because I did not tell you how the fiery furnace was constructed of that day. That that day, it was not just some bowl, but what it was was built on the side of a hill. You would have a large chute for which the flames would come out of. The person or whatever they were throwing in would go down a chute, and at the bottom, there would be some repository where the heat would be manifested. Notice, my brothers and sisters, that they were tossed at a higher level, and they were tossed into something. But the flames, according to Message translation, surrounded them but burnt the men. Y'all miss what I'm trying to tell you here, my brothers and sisters. What's intriguing is that God, in His sovereignty, understood that even though you may have to be bound sometimes, I am so gracious that I will destroy the things that got you bound. In other words, my brothers and sisters, that sometimes I'll use what you're going through to let you know that I always have your back. Which ought to be a warning for someone in the house of God that ever entertains the thought of trying to mess with a child of God. Because whenever you are guilty of trying to mess with a child of God, be careful, my brothers and sisters, because the tables will always turn. Matter of fact, some scholars have suggested that what caused the fire to not burn the three Hebrew boys was that a certain wind shift happened at the top of the fiery furnace. That at that moment, God sent a different wind that protected the men but burnt the strong men. Y'all gonna catch what I'm saying? Huh? Then at the last minute, God decided to blow on the situation, and it protected the three Hebrew boys inside, but it ended up destroying the strong men. See, I'm here to tell you, my brothers and sisters, that's why you ain't gotta cuss nobody out. You ain't gotta get mad. You ain't gotta send them a nasty email. You ain't gotta text them and cuss. Naw. Just know that if you trust God long enough, he'll blow on some stuff, and what was meant to hurt you. I ought to have a few Bible readers and hear what you meant for evil, God will turn it around for my good. Turn to somebody besides you, answer neighbor, "Be careful how you treat me. Be, be careful what you say about me. Be careful because God can turn the tables." And when God turns the table, guess what happens? God allows a favor to get us, even though they won't revenge. Here our text tells us something powerful. That increased hostility leads to ineffective revenge. That what the enemy tried to do against the three Hebrew boys, God turned it around against them. But there's something else in this passage that takes no notice. Not only do we see how that hostility oftentimes leads to ineffective revenge, but also note in the text that heated conditions lead to divine liberation. Now, here are the texts you won't shout over, but it shouted me. That the first thing that I notice in the text is that the three Hebrew boys have been bound up and tossed in the fiery furnace. The first thing that caught my attention is they survived the fall. I see it because you rush, you rush to the Lusignan, you rush to the fourth one in the fire. But to me, the initial shout is on the fact that when they were tossed in with no way to brace themselves, they survived the fall. Okay, this ain't for everybody, 'cause ain't none of y'all been tossed around. But there's a few of y'all that's been tossed before, and the enemy thought the foe would kill you. They, they thought the lie would destroy you. Think they thought the stem do it, causes you to lose everything. But here you are, and you survived. I had some people that can look over your life and say, "You know what? I don't survive the fall. I don't survive the layoff. I don't survive being fired. I don't survive being divorced." I wish I had some real people that has some serious significant falls. But here you are, and what they meant you weren't gonna make it to. You're still alive. But the text takes an interesting shift, and it's important to understand what happens. Remember, they're in the fiery furnace. This was heated so hot that as soon as their bodies were supposed to hit the flames, they were supposed to be consumed. So can you imagine as King Nebuchadnezzar is on the bottom expecting just to see flames flicker, looks in a glass portal at the bottom of the furnace, and to his surprise, he sees something that doesn't make sense. He sees some figures in the furnace with their hands free and walking around. The Bible says that he began to inquire of his people, "Hey, man, didn't we throw in then bound hand and feet?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I got a problem because they went in bound, but what I'm looking at, they look free." See, I see, I see this ain't gonna shout, but about 15 year old, because what if I told you that the thing you hated to go through was the thing God was gonna use to set you free? Okay, I know, I know, I know that's over your head. I get you. What if I told you that the thing you were bored having to face was the thing God was gonna use to fix what has held you back? What if I told you that God can use the fire to bring you liberation? Ought to have some people in here, because that is how God is. So powerful, he can take the heat out of the fire, but he can let that same heat that killed others free you from your situation. Our to have somebody that can testify. Listen, that's why when I come to church and I lift up my hands, ain't trying to be cool, ain't trying to be cute, ain't trying to do the cliche Christian thing. I'm lifting up my hands up 'cause I'm telling the Lord, "I'm free." I, I wish I had some free people in here. And the reason you're free is not because you read the most scripture. The reason you're free is not because you got it every I and crossed every T. Now, you free because you got in the fire, and what was supposed to kill you ended up freeing you. I get it. But that ain't, that ain't just it, because it don't just say they're free, but he says Nebuchadnezzar, in his observation, says he saw them walking around. Now, this is intriguing to me, because my thing is hearing is, they're free now. They were bound, but now their hands are free. But they also decide not to allow the fire to limit their mobility. I see why you can't shout, and that's why, and that's why I'm your preacher. I know, but you can't shout because oftentimes we have been numbed based upon our English perspective of scripture. But when you read it in its original language, Daniel, majority of it is written in Aramaic. When it talks about being walking around, the real term says if it's defined correctly, they were free and walked around with joy. So it's not a casual stroll. It was, it was not a pacing back and forth. It, it almost seems to suggest they were hopping around in the fire. It was not a slow drag. It wasn't a slothful move. They're there for some reason. They were shimmying and shaking in the fire. And I know, I know, I know why. Something you can't appreciate that because for you, it makes more sense to have joy when you get out. But a real test of the maturity of your faith is that while you're still in it, can you still? Okay, this ain't for everybody, but I need to talk to some folks. That's why people have been looking at you and they wonder why you still got a smile on your face. While you still walk around with your head held high, and they've already seen the foreclosure papers, they see the divorce papers, they, they see all the issues been going through. But yet you still smile and I still got a pep in your step. And what you want to tell them is, "Baby, I'm not tripping because what I'm going through, because this joy that I had, the world didn't give it, and the world can't take it." I wish I had some people. Matter of fact, touch you somebody. Don't just touch anybody. Find somebody else that seems like they got joy. It's a neighbor, "I got joy. I can still be in the fire and shout. I can still be in the fire and dance. I can still be in the fire and lift up holy hands." Why? Because my joy is not predicated on where I am. My joy is predicated on what's on the inside. But I give, I give because I understand. I'm with you. I'm your preacher. I'm your main man. I'm your old dog. I get it. Because for me, surviving the fall, freed hands, walking around with joy, sounds good. But then we learn the secret sauce of what caused them to experience this liberation in the fire. And it once again is exposed by King Nebuchadnezzar. Because as he sits there, he says, "All right, the hands are free and they're walking around. I got a problem because I'm counting them. I'm a faint had enough. I see, I see one, I see two, I see three. But I see four." Hold on. Okay, Shadrach, I know. Meshach, I know. Abednego, I know. Buddy, hey guys, how many did we put in the fire?" "You put three." "And king?" "Okay, hold on. You said three." "Okay, cool. One, two, three, four. I'm confused because I can tell three of them. I can tell who they are. But this fourth one looks a little strange. He don't look like the rest of their men. Matter of fact, if I was to make a deduction and try to figure out who it was to me, he looks like the Son of God." Y'all miss what I'm trying to say. Even King Nebuchadnezzar had to realize that when they went in, it went in three, but they found four in the Cairo count. In other words, my brothers and sisters, we see now how they survived the fall, how they were freed, and how they walked with joy is because the Son of God was already in there. I wish I had some witnesses. Can I tell you why some of your artists shout? Because if it wasn't for the fire, you wouldn't know that God was rolling with you. Sometimes, the reason you ought to celebrate and embrace going through the fire. And because it's cool to talk about that God is able when you ain't going through nothing. But it's a whole other thing up why are you in the middle of it and you need him to be your strength, you need him to be your peace, you need him to be your joy. See, some of y'all, you think you know him, but you don't know him until you go through the fire. Because when you get in the fire, he realizes it was him there the whole time. Look at somebody and tell him, "I thank God I met him in the fire." See, some of y'all met him at Sunday school. Some of y'all met him at Vacation Bible School. And some of y'all met him on the internet. But can I take in my testimony? I didn't meet him in none of them places. But I met him when I was in the fire. I met him when I was going through. I met him when I had pain in my body. I met him with a bad diagnosis. Look at somebody and tell him, "I met the Lord in the sorry tripping can't even ology." And if I had time, I would tell you that shouts me because the presence of God is so powerful in the fire that even your enemies got to acknowledge he's with you. That went over your head. I'm asleep. What if I told you God is going to show up in such a prevalent way that even your haters got to say, "You know what? The only thing I can say is God's got to be winner." Help me, holy go. Check this. So, so what is Nebuchadnezzar do? He, he just says, "All right, honey, I need to get this straight. So, so Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, come out." Those three come out. And I'm intrigued, y'all, y'all, y'all humor me for a minute because remember he saw four, but only three came out. Now, now the text doesn't allude to anything. We don't hear anything else. There is no other mention. But can y'all allow me just for a few moments? I know this may sound like eisegesis, but just, just humor me for a minute. Four. Can I, can I just tell you what I believe the fourth one, what, what he's doing and where he is? Can I tell you in my mind where the fourth one is still in the fire? I know you said, "But he'll make no sense. They already out." I get you. But now Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego don't need them. So he doesn't follow them out. He stays in there. You saying, "Why stay in there?" Because he knows some thousands of years later, there's gonna be some folk that showed up at Tabernacle Baptist Church at the nine forty-five experience that's getting ready to go in some fight. And he wanted me to tell you, the reason I stayed in the fight is I needed you to know that before you even get in it, I'm already there. Oh, shucks. I feel like having church. Look at somebody and tell them, "See, that's why I'm scared. That's why I'm gonna lose my mind. That's why I'm gonna go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs." Why? Because it doesn't matter what I go in it, because I believe he's already there. Can I get some folk in the house? Maybe you're in the balcony. Stand on your feet and celebrate the fact you got a God that stays right there in there. That you're glad you serve a Savior that before you get in, he's already there. Before you got a problem, he's already in a solution. Touch somebody and tell him, "He'll be there when you get there." He tells us. Be seated. Listen, he tells increased hostility leads to ineffective revenge. He tells us on this text that heated conditions lead to divine liberation. But then also notice this portion of the passage. Skeptical examination leads to an uncharted. So they get out. Check this out. This is what's crazy, and I'm about ready to roll. Check this. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego get out. And King Nebuchadnezzar is beside himself. He does not know how they made it out of the fire, which was supposed to instantly kill them. I mean, it ain't just about them being in it and surviving. It was so hot that they should have been consumed on impact. So the mere fact they made it through is a miracle. But now he's got to get some examination because he needs to explain to them and to others how they made it out. But I didn't tell you that in his haste to destroy them, he failed to do a fundamental thing that most condemned criminals have happened to them. Most condemned criminals, before execution, gets stripped of their clothes. Now, you're wondering, why is that significant? Well, in antiquity, especially in Babylon, your clothes represented your status. Remember, these are not ordinary citizens. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are in the royalty of Babylon, which means their clothes represent their favor. So he throws him in, assuming not just will their bodies burn, but their clothes burn. Will. But when they come out on the other side, not only are they free, they still have the symbols of favor intact, which lets me know that fire can't consume your favor. So what does he? We need to examine him. Something's wrong. So he can't you imagine as you put Shadrach and Meshach and Abednego up, and he brings the best of he had. He said, "Man, check them." And can you imagine their surprise? Because they had seen them in the fire, so they decided to examine. Lift up their arms. They're trying to find any kind of semblance, maybe some residue, maybe a singed thread, maybe a button that burned. And the more they examined them, they realized their coats not burned, their turbans not burned. It's almost as if they didn't even go through the fire. But surely something's wrong. So they decide finally to use the final test that should say, "If even if they don't have the appearance of the fire, they should at least smell like smoke." I mean, anybody here, if you've been around any amount of smoke, it, it don't take much to get in your clothes. It's, you can pass by people that just smoking in and it'll get on you, and people assume that you're smoke. So it's early. They say, "What our eyes can't see, surely our nose can detect." But when they put their nose to the clothes of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, there was not even a smell of smoke. Which means if you did not know or see that they were in the fire, you would assume that they didn't go through anything. Matter of fact, they put it in better vernacular, "They don't look like what they've been through." Okay, maybe I need to call the road because I believe that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ain't the only ones that have the testimony that they don't look like what they've been through. That's my son. Folk have a hard time accepting your testimony because in their mind, you had, you, I mean, you could not have survived what you went through and look as good as you look. No way could you have went through that and still have your mind together. We part of good. I shoes shined up, dressing look. I wish I had that. There's no way that after all you've experienced, that you can still have yourself together like you do. That's why, my brothers and sisters, some folk do not even understand what they're sitting next to because they keep looking at you and assuming because of what you look like that you ain't been through nothing. But do me a favor and just turn around. Do a little 360 in your seat and say, "Neighbor, please examine me. Please." And I'm here to tell you, you can check me up and down, and that's cool and copacetic. And I know I don't look like what I've been through. But let me tell you, I've been through some stuff. I've survived some situations. But here's the good news today, my brothers and sisters. What you can't tell on the outside, I'll let my praise be my testimony. All y'all ain't gonna help me here. Matter of fact, I need to know who can holler in the building for the simple fact that because of God's grace upon your life, huh, you don't look like what you've been through. Oh, the divorce was bad, but you still got favor. The breakdown was bad, but you're still got favor. Look at somebody, say, "Baby, I'm about to holler up and down this place because you don't know like I [Applause] have done for me." I lean over to somebody and said, "Name, can I just go ahead and shout for just one quick minute, huh? Because I'm starting to get a flashback for what he brought me through. My, I'm starting to get a flashback for how he kept me up. I'm starting to get a flashback for how he kept my heart and my mind in perfect peace." Do I got any survivors in the house that can look over your life and said, "I made it through"? And the good news is good. May the Lord bless you real good. But the Bible says when Nebuchadnezzar sees there, he makes a declaration on Most High God because in that moment, my brothers and sisters, and now the story is revealed because now King Nebuchadnezzar admits that the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego has no peer in Babylon. Now you can understand why this is significant because in that day, they believed that when a country defeated another country, it meant their God was better than their God. Which now puts Daniel 3 in the proper perspective because now the reason has unfolded about why he lets Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego go through the fiery furnace and bring them out on the other side. It was not just for their benefit, but also for King Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon. Because God was not just trying to reclaim his time, but he was also trying to reclaim his name. Because he wanted them to know, "If I can save the three Hebrew boys, that proves that I'm the kind of God that can keep you when you can't keep yourself." Which means the reason I brought them out is I needed a witness that can tell the world there's nobody like me. Matter of fact, do me one last favor. Grab a neighbor by the head, shake that neighbor's hand, and say, "Need it now. Makes sense why the Lord kept me. It now makes sense why the Lord healed me. It now makes sense why the Lord did what he did. It's not so that he could do it for me, but there was some folk that doubted him and needed to know, 'Can God do it?'" What neighbor, you grabbing the hand of a miracle today? Shake that neighbor's hand and said, "Neighbor, you're grabbing the hand of a survivor today." And if you want to know if God got power, if you want to know if God is able, just look at me because the God awesome, he can do exceedingly and abundantly more than I can ask. You think good. Bye, church. May the Lord bless you real good. I gotta get out of here. But the Bible says that King Nebuchadnezzar, ha, decided to bless the three Hebrew boys. He gave them material rewards, he gave them national reputation, and he gave them a job promotion. Because when you trust God, you'll always make you better on the other side. Slip your arms around the neighbor, check them like your lover, shake them like they owe you money, shake them like they did something to you. And while you're shaking that neighbor, said, "Neighbor, I got a word for you because when you come out of this, I got something to tell you. Be not dismayed, whatever will be, will be. God will take care of you." All I have a witness in the house. Leaned over to somebody and say, "He will. Won't he do it? Won't he do it? Won't he do it? Won't he do it?"
