This third I will put 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
The Lord awoke me at 4 am to share the following. I pray that it will help you to take heart and stay the course!
God bless you and thank you for reading,

The heavens are atwitter with excitement and anticipation. Angels are standing by, for their God is about to do something new in this generation and they are eager to assist.
The listlessness of the wise virgins is being drawn like the inhale of the sea into a collective war cry. A new song. Like Miriam's Well. A great wave of glory that will ride on wings like eagles.
The exploits -- the eyes of Mercy that will roam to and fro, witnessing, following the Lamb wherever he goes. Their strength will not fail. They shall drink poison and it will not harm them. They will shine like the brightness of the firmament above the angels that aid them and the splendor of God's glory will transfigure their appearance with the light of his purity. The pure light of the holiness of God on his witnesses, who have been brandished by trials, will make even the sunlight appear as counterfeit light. There is a spectrum of light in holiness that cannot be emulated. And it certainly will not be mocked.
Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Job 23:10
Stay patient in affliction, saints. A silversmith must watch his work closely, so that he removes the silver from the crucible at just the right moment, or it will be of no value. Not a minute too long or too little. How does he know when to remove the silver from the fire? When he can see his reflection in it.
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:6-7
