Show Notes The Purpose of Fire: Every suffering and trial is God’s design to complete His work in His sons.Chaff and the Old Nature: The “chaff” represents the Adamic nature being burned away through God’s refining fire.Submitting to the Process: Transformation is not achieved through human effort, but by surrender to the fire of God.God as a Consuming Fire: To walk with Him means to partake of His purifying nature (Hebrews 12:29).The Fire of Pentecost: The tongues of fire in Acts were the fulfillment of John’s prophecy—baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire.Rejoicing in the Fire: Trials are not strange occurrences but evidence of being chosen and sanctified.Faith Tested in the Furnace: Like the three Hebrew children, believers are not destroyed by the fire but transformed in it.Sanctification Through Fire: God uses the fire to purify His people, making them ready to dwell in His holy presence.Obedience and Judgment: Once obedience is complete, the purified sons of God will release His righteous judgment and cleansing on the earth.Transformation and Victory: Through the fire, believers move from victimhood to conquerors, walking in divine authority.End Result: The fire burns only the wood, hay, and stubble—leaving behind refined gold and silver that glorify God.

Every trial, pressure, and purifying flame removes the old nature and reveals the divine nature within. As believers yield to the process, they are being made holy, refined like gold, and prepared to stand in the fullness of His presence. The fire that once burned to cleanse will soon burn through them to bring His Kingdom to earth.
