Refining

My children, I desire you would examine your hearts and seek out any sin lurking there. In this way, you may avoid painful refining that will follow if I must do this for you.

There will be intense refining of My children in this time, that I may call you home to Me without reproach. I will refine you and then refine some more. You will desire I would stop, yet I will refine you even more.

In the end, you will be as refined gold, a good representation of Myself, that unbelievers may see, and believe.

Zech 13:9 - 9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.

Pet 1:7 - 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:

1 Pet 5:10 - 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

Job 23:10 - 10 But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Prov 17:3 - 3 The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
