Depends on what type of furnace you have but it sounds like 1.a wire from the thermostat is shorted, 2.the thermostat is stuck itself or 3. the main gas valve is stuck. Try turning the power off to the furnace next disconnect the wires leading to the gas valve if this stops it check 1 and two if this doesnt stop it then it is number 3
