“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Daniel 3:17–25

Percentage of Americans that are Christian: 83% which works outs to be a little over 263 million people.

Percentage of Americans that have cancer (of some form): 8.5% which works outs to be a little under 27 million people.

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8

Beloved,

Yes, there are many other illnesses in the country and in the world. And like cancer, no earthly cure for many of them. But we have within us, the God of the Universe and of all Creation. We stand on a Faith that is resolute and irrevocable.

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” 1 Peter 3:18

You are quickened by the Spirit today.

“Having then gifts differing according to the Grace that is given to us, let us use them . . . “ Romans 12:6

There is an explosion of Holy Spirit within you today — pushing through the crowd, bringing you to the hem of His Garment — and touching it, He realizes the Power that went out — into you.

Lay hands on the sick, carry cloths bathed in prayer into, lift up those that cannot lift up themselves — heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead to life.

Within you, is the power to eradicate cancer from this earth — and every other illness. This is our nature, sense we are not of this world — but of Heaven. Our DNA, is clothed in God — and breaks through every wall put up by the enemy, the devil. The corruption of our bodies, can be arrested.

Where does this Faith come from? We can only Trust, and not live by sight — but by Faith only.

Though you be thrown into a furnace of fire — still you will be untouched. And there will be one other in the Fire with you.

He is a Consuming Fire — and His Glory rises all around Him.

And let it “be it known unto thee (the world), O king, that we will not serve thy gods,” and we will obey God.
