POWER OF FAITH-2a

Then faith came alive and the unexpected happened, these men put their faith to work by believing and speaking what they believed. Mortal men, who faced being burnt up by fire did not care what happened and spoke to the king what they believed, because they had tested and tried this God, He does not and cannot fail. Thus in verse 16 we read
16 "Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego, answered the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 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.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou has set up".
Then as you would expect, the king was mad at them,
19 "Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego; therefore he spake and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace".
