Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride

The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him.

"Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV)

Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly.

II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship

The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said, 

"Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV)

Heaven takes notice. What is done in secret, those choices to die to self and live unto Christ, are sweet incense before the throne (Revelation 5:8). Her praise is a weapon and her altar, a holy place of transformation.

III. The Path of Fire and the Potter's Wheel

God does not entrust Kingdom legacy to the untested. The Bride has been refined in fire (Malachi 3:2-3) and reshaped repeatedly on the Potter's wheel (Jeremiah 18:4-6). Her flexibility under pressure has allowed God to shape her into a vessel fit for glory.

The more she dies to herself, the greater her capacity to carry Him. Her stretchings have made room for indwelling presence. Her identity is no longer rooted in worldly affirmation but in divine commission.

IV. A Kingdom Legacy Beyond Self

The Bride is not building her own empire. She is laying foundations for generations. Like Abraham, she obeys and goes, "not knowing whither she went." (Hebrews 11:8, KJV)

The Spirit blows her into uncharted territory, yet she trusts the Father’s wind. Her obedience is not just for her benefit but for many others who will follow her path of righteousness, sacrifice, and faith.

V. Heaven’s Affirmation and Earth’s Witness

What man may not see, Heaven sees. Every sacrifice, every tear, every surrender has been observed by the great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) and honored before the courts of Heaven. She has entered into a portion of her inheritance.

Her identity is sealed with the Father's signet ring (Esther 8:8). She walks not in presumption but in confidence, for she knows whom she has believed (2 Timothy 1:12).

VI. The Time of Corporate Alignment

In this prophetic hour, the isolated ones are being gathered. Those once walking alone with God are now being aligned with other consecrated vessels for the tearing down of strongholds.

"Two are better than one... and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:9,12, KJV)

These cords of three, divinely ordained teams, are being raised up by the Spirit for generational warfare, revival, and dominion. They will march into darkness carrying the marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9), conquering what seemed unmovable.

VII. The Revelation of the Godhead in His Bride

Just as the Son is in the Father and the Father in the Son (John 17:21), so too is the Spirit in us. This divine unity mirrors the Trinity, a perfect completeness. The Bride is now moving in union with the Godhead: surrendered, sanctified, and sent.

This triune alignment is a triple threat to the kingdom of darkness. The Bride is not only beautiful, she is dangerous. The oil upon her life is not cosmetic, it is consecration. Her praise is not performance, it is prophetic warfare.

VIII. A Call to Walk in Confidence and Joy

As the Bride steps forward, she exhales His love to a broken world. Her joy is not circumstantial; it is set before her, just as Christ endured the cross for the joy that was to come (Hebrews 12:2).

The Lord affirms her: 

"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:5, KJV) 

She walks, not in fear, but in confidence. Every breath she breathes is filled with His presence.

IX. A Call to Repentance

Yet let it be known: this level of intimacy and commissioning does not come without cost. The Lord is still calling many to the altar. Those who have been content with lukewarm faith must now choose consecration or compromise.

"Choose you this day whom ye will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15, KJV)

Repentance is not a one-time act; it is a posture of the heart. God is raising up a holy Bride, not a harlot dressed in religion. He is separating wheat from tares (Matthew 13:30). There is no neutral ground in this hour.

X. The Gospel Invitation

If you have not yet fully surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, this is the moment of decision.

God is holy. Sin separates us from Him.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23, KJV)

The penalty of sin is death.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23, KJV)

But God, in His love, made a way.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8, KJV)

Your part is to believe and confess.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9, KJV)

Time is short. Eternity is near. The Bride is making herself ready. Will you be counted among her number?
