Worth Dying For
Daniel 3:14
Living in the world but not of the world.
Don't make these two mistakes :
1. Separation
Don't pretend you're already in heaven.
You can't reach a world you've abandoned.
2. Imitation
Don't live exactly like the people of the world.
Instead, infiltrate!
Love. Give. Serve. Have influence.
When you see someone at the top of a mountain you don't say they fell there.
How did they get to the top of the mountain?? ::
1. Consistency of behavior
Don't wait until you're in the heat of the moment.
Make some decisions ahead of time where you are not willing to cross the line.
The key to confidence in the bad times is consistency in the good times.
2. Courageous under pressure
They knew who God was.
The book of Isaiah was written before the book of Daniel...so they had access to the verse 43:2.
3. Cut loose by the fire
They were better off after the situation than before.
Strangely wrapped, but a gift.
Firmly tied...came out unbound and unharmed.
1 Peter 1:6-7 greatly rejoice
The only thing that comes out of a fire is preciousness.
When life gets 7X hotter, God's trying to make you 10X better!
God can deliver you from or through.
Sometimes he calls you out of the furnace, other times he calls you to stay in the furnace and he delivers you that way.
Our God is able!
No matter what, He delivers.
And even if He doesn't...
4. Collected and not sour
When there is grace on your life you can live like no one else.
The hard things you go through don't have to define you!
God wants to give you a victor personality and free you from the victim mentality!
Go through bitter experiences without becoming bitter.
Live a life coated in God's power!
Jesus willingly went into the fire so you could safely come out.
John 3:16
