“This third I will put into the fire;
I will refine them like silver
And test them like gold.
They will call on my name
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’” Zechariah 13:8-9
You and I are living in a season of the judgment of God.
We have found to be negligent and lacking in the qualities of God. We talk about God and play act but fail miserably in living for Him.
If you call on the name of God, you have to make a decision to live consistently wth Him through the trials of life.
God tests His people to determine if they will have a steadfast and unyielding faith through the storms. And, the deeper you walk with God the more you can expect severe testing.
The “set apart” people will reflect the renown, praise, and glory of God. They will call upon God and He will answer them. They will be the pillars in His church.
The remnant in the Body of Christ will walk through the fires of God and be refined and purified to reflect the character of the Father of Light. People will see the virtue of God working in and through them and covet what they have.
The characteristic of a spirit filled believer is loyalty and dedication to Jesus built on who He is and never on the circumstances of life.
Your foundation with Jesus has to be built on trust in the promises of His Word. Emotions will come and go and can never be trusted. Your security has to be in the Word of God.
Great is the Lord and worthy of your praise!
