Going through fire is good

Going through a fiery trial can be good for your faith.

Because it will melt away all things that God wants out of you. As the word of God says in Malachi 3:3-Like a refiner of silver he will sit and closely watch as the dross is burned away. He will purify the Levites, the ministers of God, refining them like gold or silver, so that they will do their work for God with pure hearts. You know God is wonderful examiner. He can see right through the core of our heart. As the word of God says in Jeremiah 17:⁹ The heart is the most deceitful thing there is and desperately wicked. No one can really know how bad it is! ¹⁰ Only the Lord knows! He searches all hearts and examines deepest motives so he can give to each person his right reward, according to his deeds—how he has lived. So if you think about our chastening with the Lord it never feels good. Because that means the Lord has to correct us on the things that we think are right but they are not in his sight. He has to take away the things that holds us captive to sin. He has to remove our idols , so we can depend on him more. He has to work on our attitudes so we can walk in more love and less un forgiveness, and all that bitterness that makes us not acceptable. Yeah it hurts bad, and means that we might even think God is punishing us. But that is not true, Because it shows that we truly are God's child.

AS the word of God says in Hebrews 12: ⁷ Let God train you, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. Whoever heard of a son who was never corrected? ⁸ If God doesn’t punish you when you need it, as other fathers punish their sons, then it means that you aren’t really God’s son at all—that you don’t really belong in his family. ⁹ Since we respect our fathers here on earth, though they punish us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to God’s training so that we can begin really to live?¹⁰ Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years, doing the best for us that they knew how, but God’s correction is always right and for our best good, that we may share his holiness. God's correction is to help you, to take away the things that are not good for your soul. It is too keep you from going to hell. Look at what Jesus show us in Mark 9: ^43-44 ^[a]“If your hand does wrong, cut it off. Better live forever with one hand than be thrown into the unquenchable fires of hell with two! ^45-46 If your foot carries you toward evil, cut it off! Better be lame and live forever than have two feet that carry you to hell.⁴⁷ “And if your eye is sinful, gouge it out. Better enter the Kingdom of God half blind than have two eyes and see the fires of hell. Don't you see that the fiery trial is perfecting you for heaven. So it proves that you are truly born of God. That you want to live and be like Jesus. As the word of God says in 1 John 3:⁶ So if we stay close to him, obedient to him, we won’t be sinning either; but as for those who keep on sinning, they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known him or become his.⁷ Oh, dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: if you are constantly doing what is good, it is because you are good, even as he is. The Lord's plan for your life is always good. Remember what Paul said in Romans 8:²⁸ And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans. Jesus want us to be the best. He does not

want us walking around with soiled garments. He wants us to spotless. Before we meet him on judgment day.As the word of God says in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-May the God of peace himself make you entirely pure and devoted to God; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept strong and blameless until that day when our Lord Jesus Christ comes back again. Going through the fiery trial takes away your desires for sin as well. As the word of God says 1 Peter 4:

Since Christ suffered and underwent pain, you must have the same attitude he did; you must be ready to suffer, too. For remember, when your body suffers, sin loses its power, ² and you won’t be spending the rest of your life chasing after evil desires but will be anxious to do the will of God. ³ You have had enough in the past of the evil things the godless enjoy—sex sin, lust, getting drunk, wild parties, drinking bouts, and the worship of idols, and other terrible sins. So enjoy your fiery trial, because you still can have joy because you know it making you like your Creator in true righteousness. As the word of God says in Ephesians 4:²⁴ Then you are ready to put on your new self, modeled after the very likeness of God: truthful, righteous, and holy. So my friends go through this suffering to melt away all that yucking stuff that God wants out of you. And know that in the end it will be peaceful. As the word of says in Hebrews 12:¹¹ When punishment is happening, it never seems pleasant, only painful. Later, though, it yields the peaceful fruit called righteousness to everyone who has been trained by it. God bless you my friends on you trial in Jesus Name.

If you want a relationship with Jesus say this prayer: Lord Jesus I want to humble myself by saying I am indeed a sinner and a lawbreaker of your commandments. But You have taken the penalty for me. So I can be forgiven, and I know that you died for me. And my punishment is just. Lord Jesus wash me in your powerful cleansing blood so that I will be whiter than snow. And fill me with your Holy Spirit that will reveal to me things about you and lead me into truth. Lord Jesus seal me in your Holy Spirit and let my name be written in the book of life in Jesus Name.AMen

Praise God you a child of God. Go to a God fearing church.Read a New King James Version bible, and pray daily. ANd also fellowship with the body of Christ. And apply the word of God to your life daily. God bless you on your journey. in Jesus Name.
