True worship happens in hardship, not comfort. The speaker uses Daniel in the lion's den and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the furnace to show how adversity reveals the depth of faith. Worshiping God through life's wilderness unlocks the promised land.
Chapters
If you can figure out how to worship in the wilderness, you will unlock the promised land. You see, the reason why adversity comes is because God wants to see what your faith looks like. If you worship God only when things are good, you don't understand how good God is. It's when somebody throws you in the den of lions and you say, I will not compromise, then that's when we can say you know who's backing you. When you are placed in the fiery furnace And you say, I will not compromise. That's when that fourth person appears and says, I will never leave you nor forsake you. When you find yourself in the wilderness of life, but you say, I would rather be in the wilderness of God than to go back to Pharaoh's Egypt. That's when we can tell there's faith inside of this person. So the reason why we want to discuss this is because there are so many different archetypes in the Bible that teaches us how to enter into promise.
