Trust in the Process

The Lord is making in this season of testing and shaking the future Elijah's, Elisha's, Moses’s, and David’s. He is making and fashioning the true leaders of his people, for these great men and women of God can only come forth having been fashioned and prepared for what is ahead from the fires of affliction and the pain of suffering.
For the Chosen Ones, they have been in the melting pot, the refiner's fire, for this extended period of time, for the Great Smelter determines the purity of the metal. He determines what remains that needs to be extricated before the metal can be cooled, made solid, fit for purpose, and ready for use.
There is no other choice but to endure and persevere, for in the process, we find ourselves, and it must be gone through so that the content of our hearts comes to the surface, so that the Great Smelter can remove the dross from our metal. If there are any contaminants or compromises, the impurities weaken the metal, and the metal will always fail.
So, see this time of suffering and pain now for what it is. It is the beautiful grace of God that shows his love by wanting you pure, not because he demands perfection, but because he knows it is needed so that you can be the mighty men and women of God that he has called you to be.
This is what he is asking of you right now: Trust me in the process, yield to the fire of my refining, and let me finish what I started. For I will have my people made ready, and I will have my Bride perfected, and this is my choosing process to purify my people through the fire of affliction. Trust me in the process, allow me to do the work necessary and endure. Then, as your metal cools and becomes strong, you will see what you are made of, and with confidence, you will do what I ask of you, says the Lord.
"But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver;He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver,that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3:2-3
