Refiner’s Fire, The Religious and The True Christians
3 Words in 1
Refiner’s Fire
There is so much false teaching out there today.
Do not believe every spirit (1 John 4:1).
The Fire Baptism is for the Church. Jesus plainly said to the believers, “John baptized you (talking to believers) with water unto repentance, but you shall be baptized with The Holy Ghost and Fire by the who came after John”. He said, “not many days hence…”.
This person said, “You do not want this baptism….” Well, that much has some truth to it, because Jesus asked and said “Are you willing to drink of this cup and be baptized with My Baptism?” (Matthew 20:22)
He knew many would not submit to The Refiners Fire, however, He went on to say, “You indeed will be baptized with my baptism.” (Matthew 20:23)
So friends, it is what it is…. and Jesus means what He says.
Anyone who speaks and contradicts The Word, he is a liar and a deceiver.
Now there is a difference in Strange Fire and Refiners Fire, and God’s People need to discern the difference.
Just throwing this out there…..
The Religious
Religious people judge others based upon religious deeds of “thou shalt nots” and such and such….. but God judgeth the hearts.
God does not judge people by their circumstances, or how they may appear to be that day, for circumstances change and so do appearances, but neither affect God or His View of who He has made us to be.
God judgeth the hearts and He Knows your heart and He Knows mine.
Religious, self righteous spirits always point fingers to try to condemn, rather than love.
The religious spirit would never pull anyone out of a pit, neither on the Sabbath or any other day. They will make excuses and judge people, but they will never love. Nor can they ever discern righteously through the lens of God’s Love.
So when you know your own identity and who you are in Him and Who He is in you, then you will never let a religious prideful spirit, operating in a holier-than-thou person, effect you.
Relationship, is telling Jesus all about it and trusting Him to make the way for you.
Self righteous people — who think they are better than everyone else — are in a filthy garment when they stand before God for judging others, and they are the ones to be cast out into outer darkness, with no real discernment.
They are the ones who will be judged with that same judgment.
True Christians
Religious people live by self-righteous rules.
True Christians live by relationship with God, talking to Him, telling Him all about it, even though He already knows where each of us is at and what circumstances we all face.
True Christians live by Faith in God period, and He will always make a way for those who trust in Him.
True Christians judge themselves by talking to God — not hiding under religious fig leaves. They are transparent and come clean before their God, so they will not be judged by Him, but rather helped by Him.
No matter what kind of Pit they are thrown into, Jesus will bring them out.
Ask Joseph, he knows all about them Pits. It was all apart of his process!
I can tell you that you learn way more in the Pit, than the palace.
In fact, the Pit is where you are prepared for the palace.
One thing you can know is this: God has you covered — even in the process.
His Grace and Blood covers when we are transparent with Him. It is always enough!
Bible Verses:
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1.
“And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”“ Acts 1:4-5.
“But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
They said to Him, “We are able.”
So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I AM baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” “ Matthew 20:22.

Thank you Kimberley!! Religious folks are dangerous!! I have a question….can a goat ever change into a sheep, or will he remain a goat always?
Salvation is faith in Christ Jesus, being washed by his blood, and that makes you eligible for the Holy Spirit Baptism, which completes your salvation. True believers have the signs of Mark 16.
