Sons of the Fire

Psalm 12:6
6  The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Fire comes because of who we are and what we stand for at times.
When we are getting ready to be put into the fire, not only are we being tested or tried, but so is the Word of God.
When we say we trust God and take Him at His Word, we are now also including the Lord in the test.
The Word of God is pure and He refines His own Word to perfection (7 times)

We must be refined to be defined.
We are being made ready to carry a purified Word.
Only when we are in the Fire can it be seen if we are pure and founded in His Word.

Ready For the Fire

1. We must purpose to not be defiled
Daniel 3:15-18
15  Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god that will deliver you out of my hands?”

16  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

17  If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

18  But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”

We declare we will not bow down and worship false gods and idols.

2. Worship In the Fire
Daniel 3:23
23  These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

We bow down in the fire and worship the True and Living God.

3. Walk In the Fire
Daniel 3:25
25  He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

We bowed down bound and rise up to walk with the Son of God.

4. Come Out of the Fire
Daniel 3:26
  26  Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the most High God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

We are called out of the test. Come Forth! Listen for your name to be called.

5. Become the Fire

When the Hebrew boys came out of the fire they never spoke. Instead we see the king Glorifying their God.

Daniel 3:28 
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

The one who had been with them in the Fire had already convicted and convinced the king and those present.
They went forth with a silent preaching as Sons of the Fire who walked with the Son of God in the Fire.
They became a sign of Gods Fire in the Earth and went forth as a lamp revealing there is none greater than their God YHVH.

We are to be "Sons of the Fire"

In His Love,
Jesse Griffin

Discerner of Thoughts and Intents

To many times, people are deceived by 100's of false confirmations because their heart is already set on what they want to do.

Instead of seeking out a TRUE WORD from the Lord, they seek out people who will confirm their own plans and desires. They will avoid anyone who will whole heatedly search out a matter and instead look for YES PEOPLE.
When the ONE TRUE WORD of the LORD comes to correct the error of hundreds of false words, it is with the purpose of setting the crooked path straight.

 Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The WORD is a DISCERNER of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the HEART.

DISCERNER- is the word kritikos where we get the word critical. The Word has the ability to help make decisions in the heat of the moment when it is a life and death situation and it is CRITICAL! Also the Word is DISCRIMINATIVE which means it is used to MAKE DISTINCTIONS. The difference between right and wrong, Holy and unholy, pure and impure hang on whether the Word says what is. The WORD is the only true way in which to test everything else.

So the Word comes to DISCERN the THOUGHTS meaning the DELIBERATION and DEVICES of the mind. This is careful consideration before a decision is made so that a person can understand what they are thinking and why.INTENTS- meaning, having a MORAL UNDERSTANDING behind why and how a persons HEART operates the way it does.  Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?  Meaning the heart is incurably sick.

When the wickedness of a persons heart rises, they are blinded by the decisions that they make because of the desires that they have. Pride, ambition, lust, envy, jealousy etc ... all serve to blind a person in their discernment. This is when the Word must come to PIERCE and DIVIDE  between SOUL and SPIRIT and JOINTS and MARROW.It must first PIERCE, meaning to REACH THROUGH or PENETRATE into the inner core of a person in their thoughts. When the Word pierces, if a person will hear the TRUTH that is presented to them, it will CUT or SEPARATE between that which is soul ( the mind, will, emotions of the carnal man) and spirit (the part of us that communes with the Holy Spirit) The Word will divide between TRUTH and LIES.

To Divide between JOINTS and MARROW means symbolically that which moves the Body and that which supplies nourishment to the Bones that forms as a frame for the Body. The Word will come and DISCERN what is trying to move the Body and what is trying to give food or what kind of nutrition is being fed to the structure. When false words come and begin to feed the supply of nutrition to the bones, the joints begin to move in motion. It takes a true word to get into the MARROW which represents the most inner part of the bone. Even as the spirit is the most inner part of a man, if it gets in line with the will of God, it will move the Body or the Soul of a person into proper position.

When the King of Israel sought out whether to go to war or not in 1 Kings 22 all 400 prophets answered and said it is well. Yet when Jehosphat asked if there was another who could inquire of the Lord, The King of Israel says there is one named Micaiah who never speaks well of the King of Israel. When the prophet begins to speak truth, the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? 1Ki 22:18Read the full story in 1 Kings 22 for yourself and see how a lying spirit works in conjunction with false prophets and rebellion.

Ones own desires will cause them to move against truth. No one can overthrow the Word of God.

It is better to have ONE TRUE PROPHET and ONE TRUE WORD then to have the APPEARANCE of success with 400 FALSE PROPHETS and FALSE WORDS OF VICTORY.

DISCERN WHAT IS IN YOU. YOUR VICTORY OR DEFEAT DEPENDS ON IT!

In His Service,
Apostle Jesse
