The Good News: King Jesus is ALWAYS In the Midst!

Daniel 3:

12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? 15 Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god who will deliver you out of my hands?”

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 

18 But if not [even if you do not cast us in the burning fiery furnace], let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace. 22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?”

They answered the king, “True, O king.”

25 He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!”

Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire. 27 The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed, the smell of fire wasn’t even on them.

28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his Messenger and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.


Yes, Lord Jesus--You are always with us in the midst!

THE HEART OF A NATION IN THE CRUCIBLE
(Define crucible: a vessel for melting metals, a severe test-extremely difficult experience or situation, change or development coming out of a situation.)
“Your Nation is entering the GREATEST CRUCIBLE it has ever faced. My CRUCIBLE is NOT a place of PUNISHMENT, it is a PREPARATION FOR GREATNESS. A CRUCIBLE BURNS UP IMPURITIES and leaves behind a PURE metal that is of GREAT VALUE. This CRUCIBLE for your Land will burn up IDOLATRY, GREED, and PERVERSION. I cannot fully DELIVER you from the darkness if it has a FOOTHOLD in your hearts. Many of you are going through very difficult circumstances right now that you don’t understand. They are serving as a CRUCIBLE to READY your heart to receive all that I have promised you. You will become a PURIFIED VESSEL that I can FILL with My ANOINTING and My WEALTH, and you will NOT HOARD it for yourself, but you will ALLOW it to FREELY FLOW from your life to SERVE and BLESS the world. 

Because My Army of Light is SURRENDERED to Me, they have all been experiencing personal CRUCIBLES that are PREPARING them for GREATNESS. As you fight for your Nation from this place of PURITY and PASSION, you will be the ones who GUIDE the LAWLESS and the CLUELESS through your Nation’s CRUCIBLE. You will see what looks like GREAT DESTRUCTION through the eyes of My CRUCIBLE, and you will SHARE that the FIRES and DESTRUCTION are bringing DOWN EVIL SYSTEMS that were raised up to STEAL from you, and to take your FREEDOMS and your LIVES. The CRUCIBLE will REMOVE all that is in AGREEMENT with darkness so that your lives and your Nation can be rebuilt on foundations of JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. You will become a GREAT and MIGHTY nation that BLESSES the world. You will know that your GREATNESS comes from Me, and you will live lives of THANKFULNESS, WISDOM, and GREAT GRACE that have come forth from My CRUCIBLE.”
 - CRUSHING BLOWS
...I hear, “CRUSHING BLOWS are coming to the arrogant elite who have placed themselves by THEFT and BRIBERY into positions of authority and leadership. These have refused to repent and to give up their ILLEGITIMATE power and now they will be removed by FREAK ACCIDENTS, sudden GRAVE ILLNESS, and EXPOSURES of such gross evil that they will TOPPLE from their platforms.” ‘Who is doing this to us?’ they will ask. “They will try to figure out who is behind the crushing blows. Is it the military, is it a Judas in their midst, is someone jealous of their position and trying to overthrow them? They will finally have to admit that it is the hand of our Mighty God and that He will not be turned back nor stop until He brings to FULFILLMENT His Harvest Season.” 
The Father speaks:
“You will begin to see DISASTROUS and CRUSHING BLOWS come upon leaders partnered with darkness. These leaders will be STRUCK in all seven mountains of society, including GOVERNMENT, CORPORATIONS, and the CHURCH. While you are not to rejoice in someone FALLING and BEING JUDGED, you can REJOICE that darkness is being REMOVED and CALL FORTH My PROMISED leaders who will REBUILD on JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. As you see MANY, MANY leaders receiving these CRUSHING BLOWS and being REMOVED, DO NOT SLACKEN YOUR WARFARE AGAINST THE DARKNESS. Many in these leadership positions were just PUPPETS, and the battle must SHIFT to TAKING OUT the PUPPET MASTERS because they will be PANICKING and releasing DEADLY SCHEMES in a DESPERATE ATTEMPT to STOP the CRUMBLING of their EVIL EMPIRE. In the face of their FRANTIC moves, you STAND TALL and UNMOVABLE with your Warrior Hosts at your side, and a HUGE ARMY of My FORCES OF LIGHT arrayed behind you. Keep CONFIDENTLY DECLARING and DECREEING that they are being CRUSHED by the Commander in Chief of the Forces of Light and that every plan and scheme is brought to NOTHING by the POWER of the BLOOD of Jesus that speaks a BETTER WORD. WATCH AND PRAY AS I DELIVER CRUSHING BLOWS TO THE DARKNESS.”
