THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIRE!

THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIRE!

This message is to the people of God who have been under attack on every hand. Now we hear the word FIRE, We understand the meaning that there is coming a separation, and the result of something withstanding its heat brings a refining and birthing. However, for some reason, when someone says, there is a FIRE coming in the church, immediately, we think there is coming something good and pleasant. But I say to you, what gets lost in the shuffle is the pain and changes we must endure in the process of this transition. For when the FIRE comes, it is always an uncomfortable feeling, and its purpose is to kill or remove. To go a little further, always whenever a flame touches our flesh it also touches our nerves which causes all types of involuntary actions that we may not be able to control. However, be encouraged, for the FIRE I see God sending is liken unto the FIRE as a forerunner of the FIRE in the Day of Judgment. Now, in that day there will two judgments, one for the sinners and the other for the righteous. For the judgment of sinners will be a reward of torment in the lake of fire. But the judgment of the righteous is what I want to encourage you concerning. For in the book of first Corinthians 3:11, It talks about a FIRE that God is sending to the righteous which will be revealed according to everyman’s works, whether it is wood, hay, stubble, or precious stone. And everyman’s works once they have been tried by the FIRE of God, if they endure the test of this FIRE shall receive a reward. So I say unto you people of God do not give up. Even, when things are not going your way and you may feel like you have the weight the world upon your shoulders. And all of your so-called friend may have turned their backs on you, but I come to declare,” do not give up! In addition, you may have lost your job, bills are stacked up, even your family may have walked away from you, once again,” keep on holding on! For your reward will be waiting from this FIRE after the smoke has cleared and the pressures of this FIRE has lifted. Now, what will your works be defined as?
