Refined And Tested

 

I will test you
as gold is tested

I will refine you
as silver is refined

you shall call on Me
and I will answer

I am your God and
you are Mine.

**********

I am refined and tested for You are with me.

**********

“I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; and each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'”

My Spirit of grace

so you know who
I really am.

“It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

Watching

 

O Lord let me hear
what You are saying

when You speak through
circumstances and lives

giving me
so many examples

of what is wrong
and what is right.

I can understand prophetic messages for You are with me.

“And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.”

Iniquity Removed

 

I rebuke you
satan

as you stand ready

filthy garments

clothing in

“Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.”

“Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, ‘Take away the filthy garments from him.’ And to him He said, ‘See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.'”
