Our God Is Able And The Fourth Man Of Daniel 3
Contributed by William Akehurst on Aug 28, 2023 (message contributor)
Summary: The fiery furnace. Three men were thrown into the fiery furnace, and yet, there were four walking in the midst of the Fire. Their faith said, “Our GOD is able”, because GOD said, “HE will never leave nor forsake you.” When faced with the fiery furnace, will you contend for the faith, or bow?
In I and II Peter, He is our Chief Shepherd Who soon shall appear with a Crown of Unfading Glory,
In I, II and III John, He is Love,
In Jude, He is the Lord coming with Ten Thousands of His Saints,
And in Revelation, He is the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords!
Who is this Fourth Man?
He is Abel's Sacrifice, Noah's Rainbow, Abraham's Ram, Isaac's Wells, Jacob's Ladder, Issachar's Burdens, Jacob's Sceptre, Balaam's Shiloh, Moses' Rod, Joshua's Sun and Moon that stood still, Elijah's Mantle, Elisha's Staff, Gideon's Fleece, Samuel's Horn of Oil, David's Slingshot, Isaiah’s Fig Poultice (bandage), Hezekiah's Sundial, Daniel's Visions, Amos' Burden, and is Malachi's Sun of Righteousness.
Who is this Fourth Man?
He is Peter's Shadow, Stephen's Signs and Wonders, Paul's Handkerchiefs and Aprons, and John's Pearly White City.
He is a Father to the Orphan, Husband to the Widow,
To the traveler in the night, He is the Bright and Morning Star,
To those who walk in the Lonesome Valley, He is the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon and Honey in the Rock.
He is the Brightness of God's Glory, the Express Image of His Person, the King of Glory, the Pearl of Great Price, the Rock in a Weary Land, the Cup that runneth over, the Rod and Staff that comfort, and the Government of our life is upon his shoulders.
Who is this Fourth Man?
He is Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of the living God!
My Savior, my companion, my LORD, and my KING!

And the question is…Who is HE to you?
FATHER GOD,
We come before YOU with praise on our lips, for YOUR WORD and YOUR SPIRIT speaks to our hearts. We thank YOU for the promises that YOU will never leave nor forsake us, and that YOU will always be with us. Thank YOU that when we go through the fiery furnaces of life, YOU are there, and YOU are able to carry us through. Let us be strong in our faith, that we might stand the tests of time, and remain faithful to YOU FATHER GOD. We ask this in the NAME of JESUS, the fourth man in the fiery furnace, our Savior, Redeemer and Soon coming King. Amen.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Bill
