The Flame, the Fan & The Furious Fire Subtitle Text: Matthew 3:11, 12 Malachai 3:1-3 My message today is God breathed as he has stirred my spirit about these passages I have studied for this message. The text refers to several anonymas one being a refiners fire 1- I was privileged to be in Colorado some years ago preaching when I had the opportunity to visit a refiner and refinery. It was in this rugged place that teachings of Jesus egresses from the pages about the refiner. 2- In this refinery the most important piece of equipment you will find is the furnace. 3- As I beheld this massive structure I could feel the intense heat come from this crucible. I was shown tremendous size air shaft where a forceful wind blows constantly, and fans the flames into a fury without that wind the fire would do no good. I could see tongues of fire rising above the mass of limestone and iron ore. 4- I noticed men loading rocks of some type into this furnace when I asked what it was I was told Gold, amazed I said how it doesn’t look gold and they said because it has been in the fire yet, what looks like nothing after this process will be Gold. 5- Then I saw a few rocks that looked like Gold and lifted them and was told that’s pyrites of iron, EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD 6- then in wonder I saw two outlets on different sides, one side I saw a fiery stream flowing violently, they said that is the bad metals iron quartz, limestone, and on the other side there was flowing much slower a fiery stream of precious metals. What had dwelt together for centuries under the Earth is now running away from one another almost in mutual hate. 7- these precious metals like gold and silver had been scattered through all this ore for centuries but in the refiners fire they were brought together 8- As I reminisced later that evening on this smelter and how in a moments time it separated the precious metal from the ore, I thought of the precious children of God who are mingled with the junk in the church and the world and I cried “oh for a divine smelter” and then this scripture came to me 9 I declare to you on Oct 19 Sunday morning The Holy Ghost is the Lords smeltering furnace. In it he separates the junk from the jewels, godly from the godless, the Holy from the unholy, the remnant from the rest. 10- It purifies the pure, the holy, the godly and causes it to shine after the process of refining, and it burns up the hypocritical glitter of the dross. 11- These Furnace fires were kindled on the day of Pentecost however the flames themselves didn’t bring revival it was the wind the turned the flame to a fire 12 there were two different churches in the smelter the Jewish,and the gentile. After the fire had done its perfect work the religion, traditions, hypocrisy came out one end, but the other end ,where there were two entities, now they flow together, although they were from different parts of the earth the fire brought them together, one church one remnant. 13 Because during the dark ages men stood in the way of the wind the fires turned once again into mere flames allowing sin and holiness to live together causing the church to be polluted 14 once again God is sending the wind todrive out the impurities.To develop a remnant without spot, because he’s the fullers soap, with out wrinkle ,because he’s the heat or the iron 15 I am seeing men and women casting themselves in the furnace of the Holy Ghost therefore causing them to shine with holiness, and this shine is throwing its search light on those who are playing church, and they will not be able to endure the glory the separating time has come 16 These two elements cannot abide together in the holy ghost , one is tried Gold called faith the other is unbelief 17 Lot left Sodom as the fire fell the Holy Ghost separates the church from the so called church BABYLON THE GREAT HAS FALLEN ............COME OUT FROM HER MY PEOPLE
