Good Morning Sunshine! Don’t Despise The Fire!

Proverbs 17:3 ~ “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.”

Yesterday we talked about being Refined and today it is still in my spirit. So, let’s take a deeper look into the Refining Process and how He uses the “Firing Pot and the Furnace” for the purpose of purification. The Pot and The Furnace shows what God uses and how He works in our life to make us the best Christian possible for His Glory! There is a Purpose in the Refining Process, and you need to know that you know that He is Refining you on purpose!

Silver and Gold are two different things, but they are both refined by the Fire, one is tried in the firing pot and the other in a furnace! But your heart is purified by God through the fiery furnace of afflictions and trials! Man can refine silver in the firing pot and gold in the furnace, but he cannot refine the heart! Nobody can do this, only God can change your heart! “Can’t Nobody Do You Like The LORD!” You do know that your heart is deceitful above all things, and it is wicked: who can know it? Nobody but the Lord, (Jeremiah 17:9-10)! And the Lord is going to reward you according to your heart, (1 Kings 8:39), you cannot escape what’s in your heart, for what’s in you in bound to come out of you!

God knows you; He knows what you are afraid of and what you boast about, He knows your strengths and weaknesses, your temptations and your secrets, and He knows what sets you off and what shuts you down! So, when He refines you of the sins that so easily beset you! Humble yourselves before Him, because He will humble you in the furnace of afflictions to test and try your faith in adversity! He will use the firing pot of infirmities to build up your dependence on His Mercy and Grace!

How can silver and gold be purged, purified, and prepared without the fire? How can your heart be purged, purified and prepared without going through the God’s firing pot and furnace, (Psalm 139:23-24)? You have to go through the firing process to burn away all of all of your impurities, that they may float to the top so, that God can remove the dross, (the dross is everything that hinders the true you from being pure and ready for use), that you will be ready and fit for service in the Kingdom of God, in the earth realm! The process is painful, but the outcome is oh so are Glorious and it will Glorify your Father and increase your Faith! Today, submit your heart to His Firing Process and watch your life, peace, faith and love explode for Good through this refining process! 

Don’t despise the Fire, embrace it!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for purging me by the fire of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Father, for clearing and cleaning my mind that I may think like You! Father, continue to burn through me and push the dross and impurities to the surface of my life, because the more dross that You remove, the better I will be! Father, purify my heart that I may love like You! Father, guide me, that Your purpose and Presence will shine brightly through me! Father, I’m going to praise and worship You through this process, for I know that it is for my good and Your Glory! In the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Blessings…
