Snippet
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were good men, but
they were still flawed human beings. David said that if
anyone were to keep a record of our sins of hand and
heart, no one could stand before God (Psalm 130:3).
These three did not then deserve the Lord’s deliverance
because of the perfect purity of their lives. God could
walk through the fire with them because he came to
earth in Jesus Christ and went through the fire of
punishment they and we all deserve.” Timothy Keller
Walking with God through Pain and Suffering (234)
Scripture
Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in
amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three
men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”
They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”
He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire,
unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son
of the gods.”
Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the
blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!
Come here!” Daniel 3:24-26 NIV

4th man in fire Martha Christian
The situation that I am in
It’s hotter now than it’s ever been
Got me thinking surely this can’t be the way
But my faith is stronger than my unbelief
‘Cause I didn’t make it, it was a gift to me
So I’ve gotta hang on, not gonna fear the heat
‘Cause I’m waiting on the Fourth Man in the fire
And I’m going for broke even if He don’t show
So kick the flames up even higher
He’s coming back for me
And this is just to challenge what I believe
Say what you want, I know He’s near
When the clever liar whispers in my ear
And if this is my last breath I want to make it clear
‘Cause I’m waiting on the Fourth Man in the fire
And I’m going for broke even if He don’t show
So kick the flames up even higher
He’s coming back for me
And this is just to challenge what I believe
Oh, standing in the middle of impossibility
The best place to watch Him move
Can’t wait to see Him move
‘Cause I’m waiting on the Fourth Man in the fire
And I’m going for broke even if He don’t show
So kick the flames up even higher
He’s coming back for me, He’s coming back
Oh I’m waiting on the Fourth Man in the fire
And I’m going for broke even if He don’t show
So kick the flames up even higher
He’s coming back for me, I’ve gotta see
Oh He’s coming back for me, I need to see
Oh that He’s coming back for me, I’ve gotta see
That this is just to challenge what I believe
Sentence Prayer
Almighty God;
Today open Your fount to wash away the impurity of our sin
Today take Your eraser, obliterating the idols of the land
Today use Your broom and sweep away the false prophets
Today Pour out Your Holy Spirit to cleanse the unclean spirits of our life.
Today begin a new work in the land, starting with me! Amen
Prayer Based on Zechariah 13:1,2 R.M.
