Gold Refined

   My children are often preoccupied with matters of the world. I have told you what is coming and the time is now upon you.

   Are you ready for the persecution for it has begun. I have warned you of this time. Can you stand as strong as you think you can?

   Or will you deny Me to save your own life? To save the life of 

someone you love? Have you considered what this time will be like? Have you truly counted the cost of your faith in Me? Many believe they are strong, yet they have never allowed Me to test their faith.

   Pray for strength and endurance, My children. Allow Me to test your faith that you may come forth as gold refined.
