No Deadly Thing will Hurt you!
When Daniel’s three friends were asked to be burnt in the furnace, they just complied and the fire didn’t affect them. Their clothes didn’t even have the smell of smoke. They didn’t try to resist or fight against the persecution.
Church history tells us that the apostle John was thrown into a boiling hot cauldron of oil to be killed, but his persecutors could not kill him. John did not try to run away.
If it comes to the point of chemicals being made mandatory by law in order for you to keep your career or to keep your basic human rights in society, I would say just receive it and trust that God will protect you from the harmful effects.
Of course we don’t go and seek danger out purposely when it is just optional. But if you are forced and greatly pressured, trust that God will keep you safe.
“...and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them....”” (Mark 16:18 WEB)
No deadly thing that your body drinks will hurt you.
There will be no smell of smoke on your clothes at all because the Lord negates it all.
Let’s look at what happened when the apostle Paul was bitten by a venomous viper:
“But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.” However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed. But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.” (Acts 28:3-6 WEB)
Yes, Paul was bitten, and the snake venom was injected into his body, but the venom did not hurt him at all. The devil thought that he could kill Paul, but all it did was open a great door of evangelism among the natives of Malta. Pail shook the viper off like it was nothing, and it was consumed by the flames.
So don’t be afraid. God is greater than any toxin. He will protect you and keep you healthy!
