I remember, when I first heard about spiritual eyes and spiritual ears… spiritual senses… I had no idea what that meant. Over the last four years, I have gone from a loudmouth republican, being extremely harsh and absolutely crushing anyone I could with “the truth” (cringe @ myself), cared, mostly about taking pictures and taking videos of myself for… Let’s be honest, vanity.

Well… The Lord completely stripped me of that. And then, He absolutely stripped me of everything worldly… A painful yet necessary process. I was so blessed to PHYSICALLY FEEL His fire of refinement (verses at the bottom). After that very hard growing season of a Fathers discipline, all the sudden I could see everything before us. I have been blessed to receive visions, dreams, I can actually hear from Him… As He pleases of course. But… What’s my point to this? Well, when you start understanding witchcraft in the effects of witchcraft… When you start breaking free from that, and you understand how the Holy Spirit is all powerful… it is pretty shocking when you realize how deceived the world is. America has a big problem.. Glory to God for opening our eyes – genuinely… But, once you understand this there’s just no going back.

I never understood why, people still thought Americans were “stupid”, even with Trump. It made no sense. Well… I see it now.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us… Luke 23:34 “But Jesus was saying, ‘Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.’ And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves.”

Okay… Crazy right? Below, I have refinement of the Lord’s fire references.

1. Parable of the Ten Virgins

• Matthew 25:1-13 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent… the foolish virgins said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’”

Meaning: This parable teaches about spiritual preparation. The “oil” symbolizes readiness and a purified heart, indicating the need to stay spiritually alert and refined before the day of Christ’s return.

2. Refinement Through Fire

• Matthew 3:11-12 “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Meaning: Though spoken by John the Baptist, this refers to Jesus’ role in refining believers through the Holy Spirit and separating the righteous from the unrighteous on the day of judgment.

3. Jesus’ Call to Carry the Cross

• Luke 9:23-24 “And He was saying to them all, ‘If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, this is the one who will save it.’”

Meaning: Refinement comes through self-denial and surrender to God’s will. Following Jesus requires letting go of sin and worldly desires, a process of spiritual purification.

4. Fire as a Test of Works

Though not directly spoken by Jesus, Paul explains this principle, which aligns with Jesus’ teachings about readiness:

• 1 Corinthians 3:13 “Each one’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each one’s work.”

Meaning: Believers are refined by fire so their faith and actions will stand firm on the day of judgment.

The most telling, to me: 1 Corinthians 5:5 “I have decided to turn such a person over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.”

This definitely isn’t a joke. God grants repentance… I never knew that either.

2 Timothy 2:25 “With gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.”

All in all, just start building a relationship with Him. Read His word. Genuinely, I highly recommend Him. He’s our creator.. Quite literally a Father… Glory to Him!

Psalm 68:5 “A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.”

In Jesus’ MIGHTY name I pray blessings, strength, wisdom, understanding, grace and peace to you, and our Father in heaven. 🤍🙏🏼

Amen.
