I Am Correcting You, Refining You & Purifying You Into My Image, Says The Lord
My beloved Sons and Daughters, I am the Lord your God, and I am the author and the finisher of your faith. I have been correcting you, I have been refining you, I have been purifying you. What you have been experiencing is me using other people to correct you, to reveal things to you, to shine a light on some of the intricacies of when you are living by your flesh and not by My Spirit.
Some of the recent corrections and some of the recent reactions and responses of other people towards you and what you have been saying and doing, may have seemed harsh, but my hand is upon you, I am the potter and you are the clay, and through the tests, through the challenges, through the sudden reactions from other people of when you have done something or said something without intending to cause harm or upset, you will have been seeing that people in your life have been more sensitive to your actions and behaviours, and through their increased sensitivity they have picked up on when you have not followed through on a promise or when you have done something from your flesh and not led by My Spirit. So, although these experiences have seemed harsh, although you have been surprised at how other people have been, although you may have felt like other people have been very fussy and very particular about you, perhaps you have been feeling like you are under the microscope, that they have been putting you under the microscope, when it has been I the Lord your God, that not only have had you under the microscope, but that I, the Lord of Heaven's Armies, I am refining you, I am purifying you, I am cleansing you.
Embrace the things that take place in your life. Know that I the Lord your God, I am for you, not against you. Know that I work in all things in your life, both the big and the small, both the good and the bad, I work in all things for good because you love me and because you live according to my purpose for you.
I am calling you to not react and respond to the actions and behaviours of others with your feelings and emotions, and instead to know that my hand is in everything in your life, that there is a divine reason why people in your life have been correcting you, have been highlighting to you when perhaps you have slightly missed the mark. It is I the Lord your God, the author and finisher of your faith, that are purifying you through each and every trial. No matter how big, no matter how small, it is I the Lord your God, I am perfecting your endurance. I am cleansing you, I am purifying you, to a place where you know that your identity is in me alone.
I am taking you to a place where you are walking purely by faith and not by sight. I am taking to a place where you know that it is not you that live, but I that live in you. Embrace the purification, embrace the refining, embrace being under the spotlight, because I, the Lord your God, I am purifying you more and more into my image, says I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
