Reference back to
Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were Jews and Jesus would come through there people, WE ALSO do.
We have Christ inside of us .
We are his vessels on this earth.
Satan wants to stop us from being used by God.
By discouragment
Depression
Telling you that you aren’t good enough
Scripture tells us:
Satan wants to keep us from the knowledge that He who is in us is greater
When we realize, Satan can’t get to us anymore.

!!!FAITH!!!
People underestimate our God.
These men were sure of their faith.
They had such faith that they were willing to defy the king to his face.
Elaborate on their faith.
“What kind of faith”
They were teenagers.
They were willing to accept death before abandoning their faith.
Trusted God
They
They were so sure that God would protect them
TODAY
What if we had that sort of faith?
What if we fully grasped the promises of God for us?
Examples!
Martyrs today***
Tortured for Christ
14 yrs Communist prison
All he had to do was renounce
Continued to preach
Our faith = weak
God doesn’t answer us how we want immediately and our faith is shaken.
Could we stand for our faith in those moments?
Or would we cower and give in?
Do we trust God enough to take care of us?
