HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR SOUL’S PURIFICATION
10/21/22 HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR SOUL’S PURIFICATION
HEARD: My purpose for your soul is to be clear and pure. Transparent, without blemish or spot. A clear reflection of Me. In a mirror. Transformed into My likeness. From glory to glory.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
To see My reflection clearly in liquid gold. Melt down. In the fire. Refining. The dross comes to the surface. I remove it. Every layer. Until I see My face.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Malachi 3:2-3 But who may endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: 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.
PURIFYING THE SILVER AND THE GOLD
Psalm 66:10 For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried.
Proverbs 17:3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD tries the hearts.
Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the refiner.
Isaiah 1:25 And I will turn my hand upon you, and thoroughly purge away your dross, and take away all your alloy:
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them as gold is tested: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, They are my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the thong of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white clothing, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
WORD TO PONDER: A TIME TO REMOVE THE DROSS 7/6/00
It is time to peel away the layers and remove the old dross. There are dead things underneath the surface, things of yesterday that have no living substance in your life, yet are still embedded. As I expose these things, remember this is My work. For I AM doing a good thing. I AM restoring your youth. All that is good shall remain and when I AM finished, the dross will no longer entangle and weigh you down. Although slightly painful, this is also a healing process.
This is like a harvest, where the good and the bad are brought forth and I receive the good and burn the dross. Rest easy My love, for even as you have cried out to Me for mercy and yet have a willing heart, I have heard your prayer. I bring to the surface gently, and I tear out gently. Merely offer whatever I expose back to Me and I will do the rest. I shall break you forth from all the entangles and bring forth your children likewise.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” (Ec 3:1-8)
WORD TO PONDER: IN AND THROUGH THE FIRE 12/29/03
Even when Daniel’s friends were in the fiery furnace, I did not forsake them. I was so close that not even the smell of smoke tainted their clothing. When the fire purifies the silver, the Goldsmith never leaves the process. He sits before the fire keeping careful watch until He sees His reflection in the shining pool of precious metal. When it is heated to the exact temperature, His reflection shines and then He draws it out.
The firing of precious metal is a process of separation. The dross separates and comes to the surface, and that which remains is pure and precious. This is the hour of the great harvest, when wheat and tares are separated, good is separated from evil, precious metal from dross … all are separated for My glory.
When you see the dross ooze out of the pores of your heart, do not run away from Me! When you witness the weeds in your soul coming into fruition, cry out to Me for harvest. I will send My angels to pluck out by the roots and separate that which does not belong to Me. Forever it will be uprooted to never torment you again!
You are the harvest of many generations of seeds. All that you suffer is coming to fruition from much more than your own life. So, dear ones, fulfill your intercessory roles and cry out to your Master Goldsmith, your Father Husbandman and allow Me to separate the pure from the impure and bring My glorious reflection into all that you are. This is not a work of your flesh, but it is only through your yielding and relying upon Me that this glory can come to pass in your life. You think that you have failed Me, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is in this very hour as you cry out to Me – in your deepest weakness and inability – that I shine the most in your life.
Mal 3:2-3 NKJV
But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness.
