He told me not to be so quick when someone is feeling conviction by smoothing it over and saying something soft and religious. Let the Blood of Jesus cover that thing. Let true repentance take place. Do not stop the repentance out of false mercy. He is bringing a surgical incision into that thing to cut it out. Step back and let God be God.
Purified seven times in the fire is His idea. Sometimes we refuse to let our loved ones go through the fire. We are not helping them. We are hindering the hand of God in that thing. We are petting the cancer. God desires to remove it- only then does the healing begin. This is the way of God. Show me Your ways, O Lord. I hear Derek Prince saying, “He is not Father Christmas patting you on the head”.
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Psalm 12:6-7
The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.
