Faith or Fear equals Fate… there’s a story in the Bible that really exemplifies faith as it should be. Now if you do not believe in God and the Holy Trinity, Thank You for stopping by.

Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego were 3 Jewish boys who had found favor with King Nebuchadnezzar and were appointed to govern in Babylon.

They would not bow down to the King’s golden statue he had built to honor his god. They were told they’d be tossed into the furnace if they did not bow down.

In verse 18 chapter 3 in Daniel it reads :

“But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”” Daniel‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

That is the faith we need that ‘….even if God does not deliver us we stand on our faith. Where are you today my brethren? Is the enemy pressuring you to doubt what God had placed upon and within your heart? Let us stand in True Faith that honors our God in obedience.

Many of us do not realize that faith and fear share some commonalities. Before you fall off your chair and start posting on Facebook take a moment to read my entire post.

In the book of Hebrews chapter 11:1 it reads

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’

Hebrews 11:1

And my friend Daniel, he wrote a book called the Dictionary, defines fear as ‘an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger.’

In both cases it is the anticipation of an event or circumstance that has not taken place yet. Knowing that I would rather be fearsome than fearful… look it up and you’ll agree with me.

The best example of true faith is exampled by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and their conversation with King Nebuchadnezzar about their faith in God and how God ‘could’ save them… did you get that?V

Verse 18 reads:

But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.

Daniel 3:18

These 3 Hebrew boys knew both their faith and their fate, do you?

In 2020 while allowing God to reveal His healing powers over my life not once, not twice but three times saving me from death I firsthand experienced the ‘Power in Prayer.’

In the book of James 5:16 it reads

“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”
‭‭James‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

While I was in Queen’s Hospital there were people all over the world, literally, praying for God’s favor over my life and that His will be done. In Mongolia thousands had me on their prayer lists. In Africa hundreds of villages lifted me in daily prayer. All over the state of Hawaii and across the mainland believers were offering prayers on my behalf to the Lord.

Heaven was being bombarded with prayer requests for my healing, my restoration and my release. To God Be The Glory, one year ago today, I was released from the hospital after Emergency Open Heart Surgery.

Yes I can say there is Power in Prayer!

Blessings always,
