History
During a prayer conference the Father had Carol praying for a young lady who was the first believer in her entire family line. As she prayed the woman felt warmth and there was an aroma in the atmosphere. Carol began to understand He was baptizing her in fire during the prayer. He began to expand her understanding of the importance of the Refiner’s fire/His baptism of fire.
Meaning
Though submitting ourselves to the Refiner’s fire can be a painful process, He gives us the grace to walk it out and in the end the shining beauty of our countenance once refined makes the process well worthwhile. Now as a purified vessel, we have more value (just as higher qualities of gold cost more) in the sense that He can trust us with more because He has removed impurities that keep us from being effective in ministry. He burns out the jealousy, fear, competition, etc. – the dross. As we walk in purity, we are more accurate reflections of Him, as a result we are precious.
When we are on fire for the Father, the passion that burns in us is stronger than the fire the enemy would send against us. The fire is a weapon. Our passion matters. We must submit to the refining as well as continuing to burn for Him.
