REFINED IN THE LORD

 

REFINED IN THE LORD

 

Have you ever

WALKED through fire-

During your life?

PROBABLY NOT!

 

But if you have

EXPERIENCED illness-loss-injury-

HEARTBREAK=or grief or pain

Of any kind=

YOU KNOW what it means

 

Walking through THE FIRE

REFINED IN THE LORD!

 

“I will NOT-

Let the flames consume me”                                                                                         Hosea 11:9

 

The BEST thing=to do

In the fire=

Is to REMAIN very still

 

Learn to COOPERATE

With the Lord

Learn to cooperate=

With our HEALING GOD

REFINED IN THE LORD!

 

Conform to the Lord’s will

WORK with the will of God

Refined by the Lord

 

“DO NOT CONFORM-

To the pattern=of the world

 

But be transformed

By the renewing

Of your mind”                                                                                                                       Romans 12:2

 

“As obedient children-

Do NOT CONFORM

To the evil desires

You had=when you

Lived in ignorance”                                                                                                              1 Peter 1:14

 

Refined by fire

REFINED IN THE LORD

 

The flames

Will burn for a while

But TRUST in God

Trust that God

Will burn away=what you no longer need

 

When you EMERGE

You will be stronger

And be more true

To the Lord=than ever before

REFINED in the Lord

Stay true=to our God of LOVE

 

“I baptize you=with water-

But after me comes

One who is

More powerful than I=whose sandals

 

I am not worthy

To carry

 

He will baptize you

With the Holy Spirit

AND FIRE”                                                                                                                             Matthew 3:11

 

“……..let us be thankful

And so worship God-acceptably

With reverence and awe

 

For our God-

IS A CONSUMING FIRE”                                                                                             Hebrews 12:28-29

 

STAND TRUE

You just are=BEING TESTED

 

Our Lord=our God=our Jesus

Our Holy Spirit

Will not let the fire

Or the flames=consume you

 

Stand tall

You are being

REFINED BY THE LORD

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever LOVING=Holy Father God!
