The Fiery Furnaces of Adversity by Deborah Waldron Fry

You have been forged in the fiery furnaces of adversity. I have blown upon the coals of Holy Spirit Fire and made you pure. You have been refined like silver and purified like gold. Can you not see how glorious you are, My Child? Are you not My Weapon formed and lovingly honed by My hand for these last days?

Yes, My Warrior Bride. You are My war-club, My golden weapon of war; and with you I shall shatter nations, and with you I shall destroy the kingdoms of darkness. You are beautiful and shining with my Glory. Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing instrument with double edges; You will thresh the mountains before you and pulverize them.

The multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away; and it will happen instantly, suddenly. See, I have appointed you this day, Dear One, over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant. Fear not, Beloved. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper. I have brought you through the fire, Beloved, and not one hair on your head shall be singed.

There is no spot in you, My Bride. You are clothed in My Righteousness. You are breath taking. You shine in this dark world with My Glory. You are fearless, beautiful and bold. You are My Golden Warrior Bride. "Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock? Yes, speak My Word and watch the powers of darkness fall. Arise and shine, My Love. Let the high praises of God be in your mouth, and a twoedged sword in your hand.
