God allows trials (fires) to remove sin, pride, and fear, preparing our hearts for growth, maturity, and blessings. Life challenges, even traumatic, painful ones, are opportunities for character refinement and spiritual maturity.

New wounds. Old wounds. Spiritual wounds. Emotional wounds. Life choice/decision wounds. Many physical wounds. Jesus heals our wounds. Do you have any wounds you need Him to heal today?

Do you practice Fasting as a believer? Do you walk with God? Do you want to walk with God more intimately? Do you want to have a greater impact for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom? Will you incorporate fasting into your Christian experience?

Believers who are walking with Jesus have a warm temperature that continually rises. Are you walking with Jesus today as you should be? Do you need to ask yourself, What’s Wrong With Being Lukewarm?

We are commanded in Scripture to be Holy as God is Holy. That means keep ourselves free from defilement. Our minds, our eyes, our mouths, our hearts, our lips, our choices. Do you say things that are defiling? Do you think thoughts regularly that are defiling? Do you keep your self clean and pure to the best of your ability? Do you try to defile others? Have you been defiled?

Are you willing to lay yourself before the Father and yield completely over to Him today?

What does your Spirit-Filled path look like for you today? Sharing the good news of the gospel? Carrying your cross? Helping your spouse through pain? Endure suffering? Jesus went to the cross Spirit-Filled— 100% God and 100% man. He surrendered to the Father’s will. Are you?

Acts 2:11-12

Jesus took my judgment in His body on the cross, Jesus replaced judgment from God with Peace with God through Justification. Have you received eternal peace with God through Jesus or do you still fear Judgment for eternity in the Lake of Fire? You can get peace with God right now:

Acknowledge your sin - all the bad things a person does- what you have done that you know is wrong.

Recognize your penalty - eternal separation from God forever in the Lake of Fire.

Trust Jesus’ payment on the Cross - Jesus paid your penalty when He (sinless) shed His blood for you (sinful) and died in your place.

Ask God to forgive you for your sin based on Jesus payment and give you the gift of Eternal Life.
