MANY WILL BE PURIFIED


We read in the book of Daniel 12:10
that in the end time “Many will be purged, purified and refined,
but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will
understand, but those who have insight will understand."
There
is a spirit of wickedness in churches. Many of them proclaim that we
are all sinners and that it is impossible to stop sinning and be
holy. However, they are of satan, because without holiness no one
will see the Lord.
We read in Revelation 22:11 “Let the
one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still
be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice
righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself
holy.”
      12“Behold, I am coming
quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according
to what he has done. 13“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end.”
   
14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the
right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
15Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and
the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices
lying."
Many of the true followers of Jesus,  the called
out ones, who are not part of the worldly fornicating churches, are
being purified to be pure and holy. Many are going through pain,
sickness, trials and tribulations in order to be refined. They are
going through the smelters fire of the Holy Spirit, so that in the
end they will be pure like silver.
The wicked, even the false
Christians,  do not understand this. They even mock the true
followers of Jesus,  in their suffering. They do not understand
that Jesus is preparing His bride to be pure and spotless.
Let us
remind ourselves of the words of Peter in 1 Peter 4:1"Therefore,
since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the
same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased
from sin, 2so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer
for the lusts of men, but for the will of God." Suffering leads
to holiness.
Have you been called out by Jesus?  Are you
following Him in obedience and holiness while enduring much pain and
suffering? Are you being cleansed, purged and purified by the mighty
loving hand of the Master?
Hold on, dear fellow pilgrim. Stay with
Jesus. Do not give up, do not despair. Allow Him to work perfection
in you. Many will be purified. Are you one of them?
May Jesus
bless you.
