INTRODUCTION:
Life often brings us to situations that seem hopeless, where deliverance seems out of reach, and we are left with the feeling that time is running out. Yet, it is in these very moments that God specializes in supernatural deliverance. This message highlights how God steps in at the last minute, delivering His people in ways that only He can, for His glory and our testimony.

1. THE CONTEXT OF LAST MINUTE DELIVERANCE

a) The Situation Seems Desperate
Just as in the case of the three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, when they were thrown into the fiery furnace, the situation seemed dire (Daniel 3:19).

b) There Appears to Be No Way Out
The circumstances were stacked against them, and there seemed to be no escape, but God often allows us to reach such moments to show His power (Psalm 46:1).

c) God's Timing Is Always Perfect
God’s timing for deliverance is always in line with His will, and it comes at the perfect time, even when it seems late to us (Jeremiah 33:3).

d) The Heat of the Trial Becomes the Catalyst for God's Glory
The furnace became a setting for God's supernatural intervention. The hotter the situation, the more evident God's power becomes (Daniel 3:23-25).

e) Biblical Example: The fiery furnace experience of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3:19-30).

2. CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S SUPERNATURAL LAST MINUTE DELIVERANCE

a) It Defies Human Logic and Understanding
God’s deliverance often comes in ways that don’t make sense to the natural mind, demonstrating His power beyond our comprehension (Daniel 3:25).

b) It Demonstrates God’s Unfailing Presence
Just as God was present with the three Hebrew boys in the fire, His presence ensures our deliverance, even in the most critical moments (Psalm 46:1).

c) It Results in Complete Restoration
God’s deliverance is not partial. When He delivers, He does it fully and completely (Daniel 3:30).

d) It Brings Glory to God Alone
When God delivers us at the last moment, all the glory goes to Him, and His power is made evident to the world (Daniel 3:28-29).

e) Biblical Example: The Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt, especially the parting of the Red Sea at the last moment (Exodus 14:21-22).

3. HOW GOD DELIVERS AT THE LAST MINUTE

a) He Intervenes When We Are About to Give Up
God often waits until we are at the end of our strength before He intervenes, so that His power can be fully displayed (Isaiah 59:19).

b) He Uses Impossible Circumstances for His Glory
God delights in using situations that are beyond human help to showcase His supernatural power (Daniel 3:27).

c) He Sends Unexpected Help
In the midst of the fiery furnace, the presence of the fourth man was unexpected, yet it marked the divine intervention at the last moment (Daniel 3:25).

d) He Brings about the Impossible in a Split Second
Just as God parted the Red Sea in a moment, He can intervene at the last minute, transforming impossible situations into miracles (Exodus 14:21-22).

e) Biblical Example: Peter’s miraculous escape from prison (Acts 12:5-10).

4. THE RESULTS OF GOD'S SUPERNATURAL LAST MINUTE DELIVERANCE

a) Our Faith Is Strengthened
When God delivers us at the last minute, our faith in His ability to intervene is increased, and we grow spiritually (Romans 10:17).

b) Our Testimony Becomes a Source of Encouragement
Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s testimony encouraged others, our deliverance can serve as a beacon of hope for others (Psalm 34:6).

c) It Opens Doors for Further Blessings
After God delivered the three Hebrew boys, they were promoted to higher positions in the kingdom (Daniel 3:30).

d) It Demonstrates God’s Sovereignty Over All
The miraculous deliverance reveals that no matter the power of the enemy, God is greater and able to deliver His people (Psalm 47:2).

e) Biblical Example: Joseph’s rise to power after his deliverance from prison (Genesis 41:14-44).

5. POSITIONING YOURSELF FOR GOD'S SUPERNATURAL DELIVERANCE

a) Stand Firm in Your Faith
Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refuse to bow to pressure and stand firm in your faith, trusting that God will deliver (Daniel 3:18).

b) Keep Praying and Calling on God
Prayer is an essential part of positioning yourself for divine intervention (Jeremiah 33:3).

c) Believe in God’s Timing
Trust that God's timing is perfect, even when it seems like it's too late (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

d) Praise God Even Before the Deliverance Comes
Praise and worship can bring God's presence into your situation and invite His intervention (Acts 16:25-26).

e) Biblical Example: Paul and Silas praying and singing in prison before their miraculous release (Acts 16:25-26).

CONCLUSION:
God is never late. He is the God who delivers at the last minute, and His supernatural power knows no bounds. Whether we are in the fiery furnace, at the Red Sea, or facing any trial, we can trust that God is with us and that He will deliver us at the perfect moment.
