There was once a group of women studying the book of Malachi in the Old Testament. As they were studying chapter three, they came across verse three, which says...: He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. This verse puzzled the women, and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study. That week this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot then she thought again about the verse, that he sits as a refiner and purifier of silver. She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered Yes, and explained that he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be damaged. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, How do you know when the silver is fully refined? He smiled at her and answered, Oh, that’s easy. When I see my image in it. If today you are feeling the heat of this world’s fire, just remember that God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ are refining you. "You are predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ." - Unknown

Let us keep our persecuted brothers and sisters in prayer for a safe transition.

He is Risen! And He is alive! And greater still, He is alive in me in the person of the Holy Spirit. We share his life and he is not ashamed to call us brothers. Here is our hope of glory, The risen Christ in us! Every confident expectation we have for future good is not just that he lives, but he lives in us! I went through the cross with him. I went to the grave with him. I came out of that grave with him to live a new life and all its possibilities. Romans 6 I rejoice today that he lives but I rejoice even more that he lives in this earthen vessel! Hallelujah He is Risen!

Over 30 years ago I was just beginning to hear the voice of the Lord, and I heard something so clearly I could not mistake its validity. Father said to me that on the day Billy Graham dies, there will be a spiritual shift. The way things are done will change. Cue the nameless and faceless people of God to rise up and take the gospel to the fields and reap the harvest. I suppose there will always be large crusades, but this is the time of the nameless and faceless, who may ne...ver be known on earth, but will join the Father in populating the Kingdom of God. Rise up O’ men of God. Be brave and take the field for God is with you! Billy ran his race without scandal or fall and was a great role model for all who pursue God’s call. Thank you, Brother, thank you! Well done faithful servant of God! Enter into the joys of your Lord! Blessings, Frank
