FIRE: Hell or Purification

Even though there are many scriptures to reveal God’s FIRE to you, I’m only picking a few to preserve space.  But study this out and you will find many more scriptures to show you this truth, as you are lead of the Holy Spirit in your studies.
 
Matthew 3:10-12 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:  (My note here: did not say OR, but AND)
 
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.  Yes, He was talking of that generation back then, for they were about to go through the great tribulation and judgment of God that had been prophesied.
 
Jesus tells us in Mark 9:45, how the fire is used, and the SALT spoken of here IS FIRE:
 
Mark 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.  For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.  Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
 
FIRE is a Hell for some AND a Purifying Presence for others:  a means to remove all unrighteousness.
 
FIRE is the TRIAL you go through … rather, that GOD puts you through to WORK YOUR FAITH.  God’s operation.
 
But for those that have not the righteousness of the Lord, they are consumed in it.  It will burn up anything that is not of God’s Righteousness.  One scripture says that all souls belong to God; then says that the soul that sinneth dies (Ezekiel 18:4).  Then another place it tells us not to be concerned what man can do to us, but rather give reverence and submit to the one that can destroy your soul in hell fire.
 
Matthew 10:28  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
 
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
 
Even though this is said under the old testament, the Lord shows us that still under Grace, those that receive the Son which is God’s Salvation to ALL the World, will receive Life and Grace abounds; but those that do not receive Him, but Rejects the Word of God (breath of life***) stay dead.  They are condemned already because they have not received His Breath of Life, Jesus Christ who IS Eternal Life.  They have rejected Him…. the Word of God. 
 
2 Corinthians 13:5 tells us Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.  Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?  Reprobates means Reject of God.
 
God is not able to breathe life into them, because they don’t want Him.  .... There is so much we could talk on here!!!!  But let’s go back to the FIRE.
 
Hebrews 12:22-29 God is the consuming fire that will remove from God’s people, ALL things that are not of His Kingdom; and cause them to RECEIVE His Kingdom….  But ONLY those that go thru the Water and Spirit can ENTER GOD’s KINGDOM…..  Being Born Again by His Water and Spirit…. (John 3:3-5) Yet God the Spirit IS FIRE, too.  
 
Ministers are flames of fire. Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
 
The Lord brought Abraham out of the land called Ur…. Ur comes from the word that means: ‘flame; hence (in the plural) the East (as being the region of light).’   FIRE/LIGHT…. makes sense.
 
Now, look at Isaiah 33:10-24. Please read for full understanding. Here I will quote a couple of verses:
Isaiah 33:14-15 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
 
God is asking this.  WHO shall dwell with the devouring fire and everlasting burnings? Then verse 15 He reveals who can dwell in the Fire:  v15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;…
 
And we know that no man is truly able to be Righteous in God’s eyes perfectly, but only the Son, Jesus Christ…. and ALL THOSE THAT RECEIVE HIM, have HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS to stand in the presence of the Father, holy and unblameable and perfect.   What a GIFT!  So WE CAN ENTER the Kingdom and Go thru the FIRE and not be burned, for the Perfect One is with us to SUSTAIN US.  That’s Grace through Faith working.
 
BUT HERE IS WHERE WE SEE GOD’S LOVE TO US AGAIN!  He Has Given of Himself in the Righteousness of His Son Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, to Abide in that special place within our Souls, so that HE may CAUSE US to go forward IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and go through the FIRE/Purification of GOD…Without getting destroyed, but WITH HAVING ALL THE CARNAL NATURE AND MIND TO BE REMOVED (chaff, stubble, wood, hay, false doctrines, hatred, bitterness, jealousies, envy, strife, covetousness, greed, etc….), leaving ONLY HIS DIVINE NATURE THAT IS OF HIS SPIRIT and KINGDOM REMAINING… AND YOUR SOUL, YOU, IN HIM BEING ‘SET’ IN THE PLACE HE HAS PREPARED FOR YOU…. IN HIM.
 
His Spirit In You… is the nuclei … to plant His Word - Seed, DNA, the Anchor of your Soul, to assure you to come forth as Gold (His Divine Nature) tried by the Fire (Himself). 
 
In a forest fire, this is where the seeds fall to the ground and open up to germinate and reproduce. I’m sure you can think of other ways in the natural that fire is good.  There’s an Operation of God working In You.
 
Let the Holy Spirit take you through the Fire.  His Presence is that consuming fire.  As the Son within you Preserves you till the day (moment) that all that you are is subdued to the Father, in God’s Kingdom.  What a Processing! 
 
YOU ARE ASCENDING, being SUBMITTED TO THE FATHER, IN THE SECURITY OF THE LAMB,….. 
 
LOOK INTO THE MIRROR (by the Mind of the Spirit)… WHO DO YOU SEE… BE CHANGED/TRANSFORMED in the twinkling of that Moment (revelation/revealing) of SEEing Him.   ENTER IN.  So much more could be said, but for now….. 
 

Amen, and Amen, Father.
