Keeping Your Eyes On The Father

In the book of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came against a really difficult decision. To either obey the world‘s king Nebuchadnezzar and bow down to his false god, or to obey their one and only true Elohim. Who has always been there for them and has liberated them whenever trouble came their way. Because of Nebuchadnezzar’s threat to worship the false god or die, these three boys faced a challenge that tried to take their faith and take away their lives at the same time. But they knew something that the others did not. While everyone else worshiped false idols and had ill placed hope in things that would not provide for them, they new they had the one true living God with them. They had on their side the one true Lord of Spirits who would backed them up through everything, Yahweh! They were willing to risk their lives to stand in their faith and belief in The Heavenly Father, and in the end these three boys were saved from a fiery pit that they were thrown into by Nebuchadnezzar’s men. And after Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego where thrown into the fire pit, Nebuchadnezzar saw four in the fire instead of three! Because the Lord was in the fire with them! So they were never alone through the challenge that they were going through, but instead the Lord was with them in the fire.

When we keep our eyes on the heavenly father strongholds break mountains move things that we have been struggling with begins to just fall away and melt away. This is something that happened to me whenever an evil tried to come against me and try to take my mind into a negative space. The Lord has been working on me to think positively and to remove negative thinking because it counters what he’s trying to do and it actually encourages the kingdom of darkness to be more in your life and you’ll get more of that instead of the Lord’s righteous ways. So I noticed that my thought process was in a downward negative spiral and I cast it out. I said no this is not how I’m going to think, this is how I’m gonna think. I’m gonna bring in the kingdom of heaven into my thought process, love, kindness, generosity, caring, love of your neighbors and even the assembly. Keeping our eyes on The Heavenly Father calls down all of the blessings and gifts from the heavenly kingdom that he already has lined up for us, and this also brings his righteousness into our lives.

Shadrack Meshach in the Bendigo are not the only ones who had to keep their eyes on the heavenly father to get out of their fiery pit. But also Peter, who was one of the 12 disciples also had to keep his eyes on Yahoo Shia when he was in the storm so that he would not drown. When Peter was in the storm out at sea with the other 12 disciples in the boat, he told the Lord to call him out there to the water and he would go out there, and he did, and he kept his eyes on Yahoo the entire time. But when he took his eyes off of him and began to look at the storm that was all around him, raging and crashing against the boat and hearing all of that destruction and waves in that loudness, and that roar from the waves, he began to fall in sync and he had to call for the heavenly father to come and get him and of course the Lord saved him. We must keep our eyes on the heavenly father and not on the storm.
