Dan. 3:25 – “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.”
What a contrast to verse 23 when we see our three heroes, bound, falling down and burning. It would appear as though everything they had lived for was wasted. They were losers. Their cause was noble but ineffective. The huge world system was about to swallow them up. But wait! There is a fourth shadow in the fires and it looks like the Son of God. Amazing how three young men can actually find deliverance whilst still in the fiery trial. We so often wait for some miraculous deliverance to get us out of our trials, rather than getting Christ into the furnace with us.
Here they are now; Loose and walking and unhurt. Try it, get up in your fiery trial and start walking with Christ. The only thing the fire will touch are the ropes and things that shackle you in your flesh. The consuming fire of God on the inside of you is now your protection against the fiery attacks of the enemy. The fiery trials of life will never destroy the person on fire for God. The fires of passion raging within your heart will bring you through any fiery trial. Unhurt, unscathed and without even the smell of smoke!
Consider verse 27. On whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed, nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Don’t be one of those people who has survived a fiery trial, but smell badly of smoke. All they talk about is the ordeal they went through and how they somehow survived. Get up now! In the fire, and start walking around with Christ. What a buzz it is to know that the fire has no power over you. You are consumed with a fire far greater than any opposition contrived by man or devil.
The fire of the Holy Spirit within burns with an intensity not seen or understood by the human mind, but it will deliver you from all the works of the evil one. Get up and start walking around in the fire, and the Son of the Living God will walk with you.
