“The furnace of affliction is molding you for the paradigm shift!” – Holy Spirit
I declare to you today, as the Lord revealed to me in the night through His Word, that because you stood firm against the darkness that sought to sabotage you, you fanned the flame rather than accepting your circumstances, and you refused to bow to idols—God is about to promote and deliver you from the furnace.
You may have felt the heat, the persecution, and the flames drawing near. You may have faced attacks from behind, felt intimidation, or encountered resistance as they tried to conform you to worldly desires. You may have been offered food sacrificed to idols and rejected it. You may have felt hopeless at times as they mocked and cursed you. But I know the Fourth Man in the fire—Jesus, your Protector, Vindicator, and Deliverer.
Though the heat of the furnace was turned up, aiming to consume you, I declare today that the door of the furnace is about to open, and you will come out not even smelling of smoke. Not only will you be delivered, but you will also walk in favor, abundance, and recompense as God pours out His love upon you.
Get ready to see what you have prayed and positioned for. The Furnace only furthered your FAITH.
Daniel-3:19-29 (GNT)
“Daniel’s 3 friends are sentenced to death”
[19] Then Nebuchadnezzar lost his temper, and his face turned red with anger at Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So he ordered the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual. [20] And he commanded the strongest men in his army to tie the three men up and throw them into the blazing furnace. [21] So they tied them up, fully dressed—shirts, robes, caps, and all—and threw them into the blazing furnace. [22] Now because the king had given strict orders for the furnace to be made extremely hot, the flames burned up the guards who took the men to the furnace.
[23] Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, still tied up, fell into the heart of the blazing fire. [24] Suddenly Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement. He asked his officials, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the blazing furnace?” They answered, “Yes, we did, Your Majesty.” [25] “Then why do I see four men walking around in the fire?” he asked. “They are not tied up, and they show no sign of being hurt—and the fourth one looks like an angel.”
[26] So Nebuchadnezzar went up to the door of the blazing furnace and called out, “Shadrach! Meshach! Abednego! Servants of the Supreme God! Come out!” And they came out at once. [27] All the princes, governors, lieutenant governors, and other officials of the king gathered to look at the three men, who had not been harmed by the fire. Their hair was not singed, their clothes were not burned, and there was no smell of smoke on them.
[28] The king said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and rescued these men who serve and trust him. They disobeyed my orders and risked their lives rather than bow down and worship any god except their own. [29] “And now I command that if anyone of any nation, race, or language speaks disrespectfully of the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he is to be torn limb from limb, and his house is to be made a pile of ruins. There is no other god who can rescue like this.”
