Have you not asked me to remove all of you and replace it with all of Me? Have you not said that you want to do My will and not yours? For perfection to take place the furnace gets much hotter until all the impurities are extracted and only purity remains. The process that this takes is very intense and you have to set every thought into obedience to Me. Much takes place when this is going on. The purity process is slow, long and detailed.

Many cannot handle the fire. Many cannot take the release of the flesh. It takes those that are completely committed to Me and have agreed to do what your assignments have been the moment you were placed on this earth.

Look at the process that a diamond has to go through. Look at the process of sanitizing something. Look at the process to bend an iron bar. Look at the art of making horse shoes. The fire has to be to a certain temperature until things will bend at the right place and come into shape.

I am doing just that with those that have cried out to Me to crucify the flesh once and for all. I am turning up the furnace so the heat is going to get hotter and hotter. It is going to get very uncomfortable. It is going to become one of the hardest things that you will have to face. But it is worth the price.

When I have removed this flesh, you will not be hindered anymore to walk into the fullness that I have promised you. You will walk in the fullness that you have been so desiring to do for My kingdom. You will know what it is to walk one with Me. You will know what it is to abide in Me and be in love with Me. You will know of the unity of spirit as you completely allow Me to do My will and bring forth your purpose here on this earth.

Are you ready to really enter into the furnace? Are you really ready to allow the flesh to be crucified? If you are, surrender all to Me. Give Me your will, your mind, your emotions, and your heart. Watch how I change and rearrange your body, your spirit, and your soul and how much alive you will become in Me. Surrender and give it all to Me. Let the furnace blaze knowing that purity will come, oneness will come, resurrection in My spirit will come as the flesh is removed.

I will give you strength to go through this. I will give you the wisdom and knowledge to withstand all the deadness that will be coming off. I will be with you through the whole process. You will be pleased with the outcome. This I promise you.

“Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. In the whole land,” declares the LORD, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’ ” (Zechariah 13:7-9, NIV)

“See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years.” (Malachi 3:1-4)

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” (1 Peter 5:10)

“You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth. For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off. See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.” (Isaiah 48:8-10)
