“He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness,” Malachi 3:3.

“Many of you are being stretched way beyond your limits in this hour. And yet I AM holding you firmly in my hands. I AM seeing what you are made of, says the Lord.

When you pass the test you will be much stronger in me. For in the coming months you will need to be much stronger, for what lies ahead.

Many of you have been strong in your own strength. But the arm of the flesh will always fail you.

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a line of wooden buckets. He was filling up each bucket with liquid gold. He went from container to container, carefully filling the entire bucket up. And then I saw him take a ladle, and he ever so carefully, scooped out the top layer of the liquid, thus separating the gold from the dross.)

I AM separating the dross from the metal, says the Lord. For I AM purifying the sons of Levi.

You are My own, says the Lord, and I want you to be able to stand in the coming years ahead.

Many of you argue about this and that, and I am tired of your petty arguments, says the Lord. For some of you are like children in a playpen. “
