Good Morning,
James 1:12 – "Blessed is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved,
he will receive the victors crown of life which God has promised to
those who love Him." I Peter 1:6-7 – "You should be exceedingly glad
on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed
by trials and suffer temptations. So that the genuineness of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to your praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)
is revealed. Job 23:10 – "But He knows the way that I take (He has
concern for it, appreciates and pay attention to it). When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold (pure and
luminous). Psalm 66:10 – "For You O God have proved us, You have tried us as silver is tried, refined and purified."

By now we
are all seeing this process for purification and refining is costly to
God and us. It cost our Lord His life to purchase us. Now to uncover
the gold that is in us takes time for Him as well as for us. For us, it
takes us going into the fire also. Refining gold is a valuable and
costly affair. Refine is to free from
impurities or unwanted material; to free from moral imperfections; to
improve by pruning or polishing; to free from what is coarse, vulgar or
uncouth; to become pure or perfected by improvements by both subtleties
and distinctions. Let us think that out together. To uncover the gold that is in us, the process is in what we see as tests, trials and tribulations,
whether they are emotional, financial, physical or through our
relationships. God knows how to mine for gold, for he sought us and we
were dug out of the rough. Yet, He is not through with us. He wants the
ultimate from His purchases. He is removing those things that are
coarse, vulgar and uncouth in us. Freeing us from all imperfections
and impurities. We all want the end results, to be refined. So, now we
need to learn to count it all joy when we go through diverse testing,
it is part of the refining process. To draw out of each of us the deep
seated value that only He sees and knows that lies beneath the
impurities that have become mixed into our character, from living in
the rough. To purify
means to clean; to wash or cleanse; to clarify; to make clear by
decontaminating and disinfecting; to purge and sanctify. Our
great loving God is purifying us from all that has contaminated our
minds, and our future destiny, by allowing the fires of tests,
trials etc. to burn away from us anything that will infect us.
Infections weaken us and deprive us of our strength and potential by levels.
He is clarifying our walk with Him, clearing away all hindrances and
the familiar obstacles that we have stumbled over in the past. Sad to
say even some of the hindrances have been people in our lives that we
refuse to let go of, that may be helping us to stay contaminated or
infected. It doesn't always have to be inanimate things. We need to let
God be the refiner and purifier that He is. He is increasing the
quality and value of our life lived for Him and for those with whom we
have any affect and influence upon.

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying;
I Am bringing a new revelation of
holiness to you. For you are the ones who will display My
righteousness, My holiness. I am bringing things to the surface in you
and by My mighty strong wind I will come and blow on My gold. With the
power and force of the wind I will blow all that has been sticking to
you. I have placed My anointing all over you for you have stayed in the
fires and now coming forth is the new man that will not let the same
old things to stick your heart and mind like you allowed before. You
have come into your time. It is our time to demonstrate to this world
what real gold looks like and how you will shine, you will shine for
Me! You are now clearer and more clarified than you have ever been
before. There is no mixture in you. Truly sanctified for the service of
your God. There are moments that you can see all that I have in store
for you. You will do great things not yet seen by men. Your offerings
to Me are right and true now. No more mixture. Now all we see what
valuable gems I have in You. You will outshine every generation.
