Tried By Fire - Coming forth as Gold
There is a book in the bible about a man named Job. He was
a blameless and upright man who had experienced a great loss in every
area of his life. He went through a horrendous trial for nine months. The
end of the story tells us that Job was rewarded with double of everything
that he lost. Job said at the end of this trying time that he shall come
forth as gold because he knew that he didn't do anything to deserve that
injustice. He also understood that Gods plan for his life could not be
thwarted or cancelled. When God gives you a promise, it will come to pass
no matter what your circumstances look like in the natural.
The Lord says, I hear your cry and I hear every prayer. As
you call out to Me in the fires of affliction, I will respond. Though the
trials seem to multiply, I am with you through them all. Just as the
refining of gold removes impurities, those things in your life that are
unacceptable shall be removed. In the same way that refining gold
separates the pure from the less precious metals, I am removing the dross
from your life. I am releasing you into royalty which comes forth from
purity. Trust Me to strengthen you as you are refined in these tying
times. Disregard the opinions of those who doubt My word. The opinions of
others can not negate nor cancel out My plans. Just as Job, when you are
tried you will come forth as gold. In the same way that gold is symbolic
for a covenant in a wedding band, I am establishing My covenant with you.
Do not focus on your past so that you will not be delayed from moving
into your future. I will bring you through those difficult seasons and
remove those things that are confining and restricting you from moving
forward. Allow Me to free you from all doubts and fears which are
imprisoning you. As you trust Me, you will be released from the
restraints which are holding you in bondage.
Shake off the despair and heaviness that tries to attach
itself to you. Be careful not to go back to your old ways of living or
allow the enemy to intimidate you by trying to steal your identity in Me.
The enemy could not terminate anything that I have for you, as long as
you do not yield to him. Learn how to love your enemies and pray for
those who persecute you, rather than be critical of them. Bless them that
curse you. Listen for My voice, so that you will no longer be misled by
the voices of unbelief. I Am the God of liberation, and as you refuse to
submit to anything contrary to My word, I will deliver you from all the
chaos in your life. You will be unchained from those things that are harming
you. I am the supplier of all your needs. Trust me for your healing.
Trust Me for your deliverance. Trust Me for your financial needs. Trust
me in your marriage. See yourself healed and made whole. See yourself
prosperous. See yourself strong and able to stand against any adversity
that comes your way. See yourself as more than a conqueror. See yourself
as the blessing that I have created you to be. As you acknowledge the
glorious future that I have for you, your life will be transformed and
you will see My plans come to pass in your life and ministry says the
Lord.
Job 23: 10 - 12
But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I
shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept
His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of
His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary
food.
Job 42:2
Job replied I know that you can do all things; no plan of
Yours can be thwarted.
Job 42:12 -17
Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his
beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one
thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. He also had seven
sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first Jemimah,
the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.
In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job;
and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. After
this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and
grandchildren for four generations. So Job died, old and full of days.
