The Coming Of The Holy Spirit! With Refining Fire.

 Happy Pentecost Sunday To You All.  Fist , Lets Thank God for His Refining Fire of the Holy Spirit! 

In the Book of Acts Chapter 2:1-4   [Please read completely Chapters 1 and 2, so the depth of God's Word will minister to you]

This is from the New Life Translation.  "The Holy Spirit Comes".  On the day of Pentecost All the Believers were meeting together in one place. 2) Suddenly, there was a sound from Heaven like  the  roaring of a Mighty Windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3) Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4) And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.  Hallelujah!!! 

During my Morning Study of Pentecost. My spirit quicken when I read  Flames of Fire. And then I heard the Holy Spirit corrected me by saying the Refining Fire. And My thought was what exactly what do you mean? So I researched Refining Fire definition. One definition says , It is a painful but transformative process of purification and growth. Which cleanse and strengthen our character. My thoughts were Ok but I've always thought the Refining Fire goes before us burning out things that shouldn't be there. Which is some truth also.  But,  In the Book of Malachi Chapter 3:2-3 , He speaks of the process of burning out the impurities to reveal the Pure. So I said to myself and to the Holy Spirit , I now understand when He manifested as flames or tongues of Fire. He was maturing and refining the heart and the Faith of the Believers.

Just as a natural Goldsmith job is to balance the flames in the process of purifying the gold. So is Our God balancing the heat of the trials, allowing circumstances to purify our hearts to become more Christ Like  glorifying Father God. In,  Job Chapter 23:10  He knew the process when He said, " God has tested me, I shall come forth as Pure Gold" . Amen.  And finally in   James 1:1-2  He makes complete sense concerning Faith and Endurance. In  Verse 2-3,  He tells us ," My Brethren, Count it All Joy when you fall in various trials, 3 Knowing that testing of Your Faith produces Patience. Amen. Thank God for the Holy Spirit for teaching us to become more and more Christ Like. By cleansing Our Hearts and bringing to surface anything  unclean . So we may Repent and reflect the Character of Jesus  by the Holy Fire of God.   I Thank God it started on Pentecost . Praise God for His Goodness to His People. Again, Happy Pentecost!! All Glory Belongs to God.
