The Fire, The Water and The Separation

God’s Word compares our spiritual lives as to gold, silver, brass, iron, tin, and lead among other examples.

“Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless, it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water,”   Numbers 31:22-23 KJV.

Remember, that the former refined areas in our lives can become dull, lacking luster or tarnished being unusable.

God’s Word compares our spiritual lives as to gold, silver, brass, iron, tin, and lead among other examples.

However, everything that has been initially made for the fire, eventually must go back through the fire, to burn away impurities so we can be brilliant and clean again, and effective for the Master’s use.

Then we must go through the washing of the water of the Word.

“That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,”   Ephesians 5:26 KJV.

“Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,”   1 Corinthians 3:12-13.

Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

Fire reveals!  Water cleanses!

In the Bible it often refers that going through the fire of refinement purges away all dross or impurities that keep us from God’s best and ready use.

“Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver,”   Ezekiel 22:18 KJV.

All of us who have made Jesus The LORD of our lives will go through the times of the Refining Furnace and the crucible which is a vessel in which silver and other precious metals can be poured into withstanding high heat for pouring to shape new vessels.

“A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but The LORD is the tester of the hearts,”   Proverbs 17:3 KJV.

Often God uses word pictures to describe the life of the true believer.  God sends mandates of trials and testing of the true believer to purify us and prove to “ourselves” who and what we truly are and what we believe.

Often, we don’t or won’t see ourselves unless some kind of event happens that provokes a negative reaction in us.

When a negative reaction happens, we will then act accordingly.  As the dross is removed from the silver through high heat and poured into a crucible, a pure vessel will come forth.

God is saying that through our lives and circumstances, although not easy, He is preparing us, and refining us.

Like the silver is processed, so the word “refine” speaks that God will test us in various types of seemingly heated situations.  It’s not comfortable to go through the fire but a necessity for our growth.

Using the metaphor of going through the furnace or refining fire, speaks that our particular trial and test has a purpose and design for our physical and spiritual well-being.  There are many afflictions in the believer’s lifetime.

All are designed so we become more like Jesus.  When God tests us, it isn’t to fail us but that we would awake with his likeness.

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but The LORD delivers him out of them all,”   Psalms 34:19.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but The LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Study:

“As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you,”   Ezekiel 22:20.

“Because I knew that you were obstinate, and your neck was an iron sinew, and your brow bronze,”   Isaiah 48:4.

“How the gold has become dim! How changed the fine gold!  The stones of the sanctuary are scattered at the head of every street.  The precious sons of Zion, valuable as fine gold, how they are regarded as clay pots, the work of the hands of the potter!”   Lamentations 4:1-2.

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

“He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner,” says The LORD, Whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem,”   Isaiah 31:9.

“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction,”    Isaiah 48:10.

Washington DC — The Call to Repentance

In a vision I saw House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and she was wearing black and her arms full of paperwork.

Vision:

I saw Nancy Pelosi and she was wearing black and her arms full of paperwork.

Suddenly she takes all the paperwork and she tosses them up high in the air and all the papers went in all different directions.

However, there is a transformation taking place where the papers midair is turned into confetti by The Angels of The LORD in celebration of The Articles of Impeachments defeat, as when the confetti comes down declaring the winner, in celebration!

The Articles of Impeachment will actuality expedite the will of the people AND GOD in determining and declaring the winner as confetti flies as we enter four more years for the nation of America.

Their hardened hearts and vengeance will backfire on them as they fight a battle they won’t win.  This is the year of unraveling and the year of unveiling as Truth is marching on!

Make your Vote count!

I speak that true Christians align to whom lines up with God’s Agenda aligning with the Word of The Living God!

How can you be a Christian democrat and hold to the murder of the unborn babies?

You will fully know them by their fruits.  This is the time to call it as you see it and a time of repentance at a national level!

There is a separation happening nationally with the goats among the sheep.

How will you know them?  Look at the fruit of the Spirit and the fruits of actions.

Pelosi impeachment sham will bring great shame.  Their obsession with pure hatred of President Trump will backfire on them and cost them many years.  The people of this nation are not stupid, they see what is happening!

“My Fire shall go deep and shall boil up from the foundations and all the root sources.  You shall witness what was hidden from a time gone by. 

The swamp shall be illuminated and you shall see what has been hidden in secret.

You shall see the power or control of unreasonable and arbitrary use of what has been kept hidden suddenly come forth from the left now.”

Their motives shall be revealed and they shall be ashamed who dared touch God’s appointed servant!  The left shall be left with confusion!  There will be no more delays, those who attempt to hold this nation hostage.

I see a warm blanket as it is being unraveled and what it was covering will be seen for what it is.

Just as wine ferments and has to be stirred so the sediment and lees are skimmed from the top, it is being revealed from what has been hidden from view.

“I AM causing the impurities and dregs to be skimmed off what was hidden in the swamp.”

You shall know them fully by their fruit.  There is no more gray area, no more lukewarm, you are either on The LORD’s side or not.

“I AM calling all to repentance!”

“Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on they glory,”   Habakkuk 2:16-19 KJV.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold
nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches,”   Revelations 3:14-22 KJV .

An Open and Shut Case

In a vision I heard that The LORD is wanting His message poised in position so His people will comprehend in their due season.

Vision:

I was above a huge elaborate Ancient Door and I could see the opened Hand of God over it.

I knew in myself and wondered why this battle for this door seemed unceasingly sought for.  Surely The LORD decreed this to be an “open door” and shut case.

That’s what doors are for — to enter and to exit.  But this door was different and I didn’t understand why God’s hand had been over this particular door for some time.

Then I heard within, that The LORD is wanting His message poised in position so His people will comprehend in their due season.

Suddenly I witnessed two people.  I saw one person who walked through the opened door and another person who stayed behind on the other side of the door.

As I witnessed this, I noticed that a major tug of war had ensued and had been going on between the two persons for some time and I could feel the desperation and determination of a life and death decision in this process.

One was holding the doorknob and the other held the side of the “open door” knob.  God’s Hand was allowing this wrestling and tug of war.

The person holding the open door into new beginnings had such desperation not to let go of the doorknob, as the realization of where she had been and what was coming from behind the door behind, motivated her to cry out and plead with the man to come through the open door!

The person on the other side had no idea what was coming behind him, especially when the door was to be shut and locked.

In this process, the man remained just as resistant on the familiar side liking the way things were and counting on the passage that The LORD is not willing that any perish, but wants all to come to repentance, (2 Peter 3:9).

The man continued to resist just as vehemently as she did, but he had just as much free will and free choice as she.  However, he dug his heels in defiance against this process.

No one makes the choice for us.

Salvation is a gift and free — but walking it out will cost you your life.

There will be no one in heaven who didn’t choose to be there.

The man couldn’t see what was coming behind him, but she in revelatory entrance into her new beginning, could suddenly see the vision in terrifying living color!

The vision and realization of this struggle were life and death and the results of ramifications of untold millions of souls.

She could see the narrowing path that had led her to that Ancient Door.

As she continued to hold the door, she watched the vision of an earthquake in high places where they had walked and had been.

Suddenly, there was an Ancient Fault line that began to shift, shake, and dropping from over twelve feet, then lifting high as the noise of millions of Red Woods trees snapping like mere sticks.

All of the natural mayhem the splitting and jolted upwards removing the ground upward until a huge crevasse formed.

As she watched the vision unfold to her horror.  The path alongside the mountain which they had taken to the door began to shake and pieces of the earth began to fall, etched away like a chisel and hammer!

For is not My Word like a hammer that breaks rocks in pieces….?

Then she witnessed the remaining ground began to liquefy and dissolve like the sand of the seashore, being taken away from Hurricanes.  Even as a new heaven and new earth will appear…

She saw what appeared as utter darkness and silence for a time, then within the crevasse, arose the colors of amber flames burning deep and bright within the crust of what had been familiar, was no more.

The flames began to be licked up the sides and openings like a familiar dog returning to his own vomit.

She could hear what sounded like screams, and howls and the smell of sulfur permeated her nostrils in her vision.

In her desperation, she cried out but the man couldn’t see, or hear, nor imagine it as it was her vision to warn and to come.

The man fought hard to maintain his choice and level of comfort.  He was free to love the things of this world and decided at a moment in time, to stop, and settle down not realizing that he just sealed his fate and faith as many are sealed this way.

He encamped on the path to come with false hopes and delusions.

Eternity forever?  One way or the other… false in his hopes all lost in making this world his happy home.

God’s Spirit shall not always strive with man.

And the door was shut…….

“For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears,”   Hebrews 12:17 KJV.

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame,”    Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV.

“The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of The LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which, the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up,”    2 Peter 3:9-10 KJV.

Look to the Future!

The LORD says, “Yes, you must remain transparent and having hands that protect and guard the intimacy of your own heart and soul. “

There are some of you who have been bound up by those you love.

These who are attempting to manipulate and keep you hindered, most aren’t even aware they are being used that way.  You must forgive them, release them, and let them go.

The closer you have pressed in to God the more they manifest to hinder your progress anyway they can.

You have been perplexed by their behavior, and you have been attempting to run the relay race but each time the baton is handed to you the other person would not let go as to hinder your race and time.

As you prayed you were finally able to pull the baton away!  Then suddenly God gave you the supernatural strength and you took off running!

These things have not been a setback but a set up!  Yes, you have been on a hit list, but don’t be bitter, bring an end to bitterness for they know not what they do.

David captured his future and destiny as he ran from King Saul!  Trial and tribulation cannot stop your destiny even if you must run from the King.  David’s destiny was a reality as he pushes through the demonic to attain the dynamic!

This is about destiny, about being pressed and pushed into it through trial, yet it is your destiny.  The demonic doesn’t want you to attain your future.

Your setbacks cannot stop your destiny from happening but are designed by God to make you stronger and bold in obedience so that others will come and support you as did David’s mighty men.

Some of you had felt alone in all of this, however this is the time where God is sending support and people into your lives.

“David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.  And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men,”   1 Samuel 22:1-2 KJV.

“Yes, you must remain transparent and having hands that protect and guard the intimacy of your own heart and soul. 

Light is what dispels darkness, and you are the light of the world and a city on a hill that cannot be hid.  YOU are each that light!

You are that city and temple!  Don’t let anyone or anything cover that light.  Shine, shine beloved!

I want that habitation,” says The LORD, “and I want you to be that city that brings light to the matter and bringing illumination to the world!”

“I want habitation!  I want habitation with you!”  says The LORD!

“Ye are the light of the world.  A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven,”   Matthew 5:14-16 KJV.

“My beloved, you are highly favored in My house and very loved.  I called you to be different, I called you to shine brightly, please don’t neglect Me.  The secret of your power is in intimacy with Me,” says The LORD.

“The Glory of The LORD shall be revealed all flesh will see it together for My Mouth has spoken it and I bring princes to nothing.

I shall go before you and make every path straight for you.  Take the land, it is your land and it is My Land.  Decree a thing and it shall be,” says The LORD.

“There are fusions taking place with some of My mouthpieces, and it shall be heaven on earth in this crucial time and no more redundancy of things of the past but look to the future. 

These shall reveal the mind of Christ and yes two shall be as one and I am not isolating you to things of the past, they are gone bury them in your mind and look to the future as every word shall be established.

Look to the future,”  says The LORD!

I AM decreeing convergence towards unions as you are moving in union of belief like three rivers collide in uniformity.

Yes these are coordinated but first there is seemingly confusion during the collision of each tributary causing a great rushing of water as the rivers collide!

Let not distraction and hindrance come to this epic time frame as you converge with a union of tributaries, be aware that anytime there is a collision of tributaries, the enemies’ best mission is to cause you to be eliminated in purpose through the collision and the great force of rushing power.
