TRIED IN THE FIRE

May 1, 2008


1 Peter 1:6-8

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

"I am trying you, says the Lord, as you shall come forth with the gold that I have placed inside of you, says the Lord. The anointing oil of joy shall manifest as you triumph over the trials that I have set before you, says the Spirit of God. For I try thee not to forsake thee but to lift you up over every trial and circumstance that try thee, for I am humble and light and shall not cause you to sway any more than you ought. For I come to burn thee with My love and gladness of heart that you may turn to Me and find Me in this hour of the flame. For I speak of things that are dear to your heart to burn that which is not of Me, says the Lord. The yoke of the flame shall alight upon thee and you shall begin to ignite with a renewed passion for My Kingdom, says the Lord. For the oil of gladness shall be your portion and shall spill over thee in a unique way. For the oil that pours out upon you shall be spilled over to those you endear that the joy and laughter of the Spirit of Grace shall alight upon all."

"Feel the fire as you enter into the gates of thanksgiving and My courts of praise, as you enter into the secret place of the Spirit of Grace. For darkness looms and the light shall prevail. I call thee, come be tried, tried by Me, says the Lord. For much is given and much is required in these days that lie ahead of you and you shall triumph over evil as I purge the sin out of you. This is My word that I speak over you, you shall rejoice in the Lord and become brand new."

Bless is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says....
