                        Refiner's Fire

Do not be far from Me, oh My people!  Do not allow unbelief to keep you 
from entering into My courts with praise.  Do not focus your eyes on the 
many difficult circumstances that surround you.  Instead, look to Me
and know that I am with you and that I am faithful.  Know that I am all 
powerful and I hold your deliverance in My hand.  Know that it is My good 
will and My good pleasure to rise up on your behalf.

Do not fear, do not fret.  Trust in Me and look to Me.  Know that I am 
with you and that I will not abandon you in the midst of your present 
day difficulties or circumstances.  Know that I have the ability to work 
My glory in all of your circumstances, and know that I am willing to do 
this for you.  So do not allow the fears and worries of this present age 
to consume you.  Do not allow them to push you away from Me.

For I have a plan and a future and a destiny for you.  And it is good, and 
it will cause you much joy.  But to enter into My plan and My destiny, you 
must lay aside your own plans and your own agendas and you must embrace 
Mine.  And for you to enter in to My plan and My destiny, you must become 
willing to obey Me in all things and to take your direction from Me.  For 
it is My desire to pour out My spirit and My anointing upon you, that you 
might bring glory to My name and advance My kingdom.  

Turn to Me and allow Me to turn your life around.  Allow Me to glorify My 
name through you.  Watch and see what I will do in you and through you as 
you draw near to Me and yield to My control.
