REFINE BY FIRE

     The last couple of days, the Lord has been speaking to me of refining. I was brought to Zech. 13:9 again about a remnant being brought through the fire. Those who have chosen Him and His Kingdom are finding themselves in a process of refinement, or purging, a purification or smelting you could say. In the OT, we read of silver and gold being refined by fire, so that the impurities would be burned away leaving the pure metal.  This was a delicate process as the smelter would carefully put each piece through this process until the ultimate outcome was achieved. It is in this way that our Heavenly Father is doing the same with us now. We have been given I'm told, a very short amount of time right now to undergo this very process. We need to have already chosen whose army we are fighting for, and be in training for the battle ahead. The last part of the plan would be to rid ourselves of anything that would hinder our hearing from the Holy Spirit for our instructions. I pray that you are making the time every single day to spend with Yeshua, repenting and asking for this refining, this cleansing, to prepare you for what is to come. Please be advised, we do not have much more time for preparing or getting our spiritual house in order. Today is the day. Major change is on the horizon, and much sooner than most expect. Be alert and sober. As long as we follow the King of Kings, the rest of our needs will be provided. We are not to fear. 

Zechariah 13:9

King James Version (KJV)
  And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God. 

Malachi 3:2-3

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

Isaiah 25:6

And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

Isaiah 48:10

10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction

Malachi 3:3

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
