I want to talk this week about miracles, about what God has done in my life.

Now I’m not trying to push my beliefs on others, I am just trying to share my testimony.

You see, there are many verses in the bible that speak about walking through the fire.

Many of us have been through hard times, and it felt like we were walking through fire. I know because I felt like that. These are the verses that gave me hope when I was feeling like I couldn’t go on.

One of the verses is:

They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.

(Daniel 3:27, NIV)

“No Smell of Smoke”

In the book of Daniel, when three Hebrew teenagers wouldn’t bow to the king’s golden idol, they were thrown into a fiery furnace. To just survive would have been a great miracle, but notice how the scripture describes how God works. When he restores, there’s no sign of the fire you’ve been through—the trouble, the injustice, the bad break—not even the smell of smoke.

Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. The flames will not harm you.” 

We all go through the fire—things that are unfair, things we don’t understand, and it is tough. While you’re in the fire, you have to remind yourself, “These people are not going to harm me. This challenge is not going to keep me from my dreams. This sickness is not going to stop my purpose.” 

You need to know that you’re going to come out without the smell of smoke. Things are changing in your favor right now—healing, vindication, promotion, and breakthroughs are on the way.

While I walked through the fire, I had many things come at me and had gotten knocked down over and over again. Yet, I held on to that mustard seed size of faith and knew that I would get through it. Not only did I get through it, but I came out and then literally walked on fire afterward. Yes, I walked on fire at a Tony Robbins seminar because I thought if I could walk through fire, then I could walk on it. This act changed my life. I knew I could do anything if I believed. 

So today, my friends, I am here to tell you that even though you may be walking through the fire now. Even though it is tough and you may want to give up. Hold on, keep the faith, and know that one day you too can not just get through but will be able to walk on it. Nothing is impossible if you believe.

“Be the change you want to see”
