As the time of the end
approaches more and more, the enemy’s attacks against My people increase in
intensity and frequency. You feel them even now, as he tries to dissuade you
from your faith and following Me. He will gain many souls in this way, by wearing
down those who are weak in their faith, those who do not know Me well, those
who are not willing to suffer for My Name’s sake.
I have tried to prepare
you, My children, but many of you have refused My refining fire, and will not
be prepared. Many of you refuse to be used for Kingdom work, or to stand bold
for Me, because you fear the enemy of your souls, and you fear the reactions of
men. You are not prepared for what is coming in the earth, and you will not
survive it.
Those who have submitted
their lives to Me and submitted to My refining fire will shine bright in this
time – you will be My lights in a very dark world. You will draw on My strength
and My Word in your hearts to walk through great darkness.
Matthew 24:44
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh.
Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with
fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
1 Peter 1:7
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:
Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in
the furnace of affliction.
Psalm 66:10-12
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast
tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst
affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a
wealthy place.
