"Angels in the Fire" (July 28, 2013)

If God is working on you, you won't be able to escape it. You can't go from one place to the next or one person to the next to get away from what He's doing. What He has for you may be difficult, but it will take you to the next season and purify you. Take Jonah as an example of this....and avoid the process of running...get where you can receive from people who love you and take it as God speaking to you. Those who have your best interests at heart will be tender and guide in love and patience. He does all for your good!

If He calls you to go through the fire, there is purification in the process-submit to the refining process that the dross would be removed from your life.  Trust Him to send protection and strength to walk you through it!  Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego walked into the fiery furnace - and there appeared a form in the furnace described as looking "like the sons of god."   Perhaps it was the Lord himself or perhaps it was an angel who was sent to protect these men (Dan 3:28) but the result was a revival in the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 3).  At the moment where you feel completely alone in the fire, remember the promise of God to send His angelic hosts to your aid:  "Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation (Heb 1:14)."


Luk 22:42-43  Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done. And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit.
