A word of encouragement to those Christians who feel that you are being "HAMMERED" by the Lord by Pieter Kirstein


Understand that He makes all things beautiful in it's time. There is coming a time of war, a time of tribulation and a time of shaking like no other on this earth and believe me when I tell you today beloved of God; WE ARE BEING FORGED BY THE HAND OF GOD INTO POWERFUL WEAPONS IN THE FURNACE OF HIS FIRE.
He says in Jeremiah 23:29  Is not My word like a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
In our surrender to God He is making His word flesh within our vessels. He is breaking through the hardness of our hearts and turning it into soft responsive yielded and obedient hearts. The fire of His truth is purifying the temple and dwelling that we are called to be.
He declares about Himself as the Living Word  in Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
To become, be raised up and be used as a useful vessel within this earth by the Lord we must allow His truth to judge our hearts, our motives and our actions. We must allow Him to bring us into agreement with His ways, with His truth and with His life. We must become expressions of God's truth within the earth and in the furnace of the testing fires of seasonal trials He fuses us together with Himself as one.
IN HIM WE BECOME THE AUTHORITY, THE VOICE AND OPERATION OF HIS WORD BY THE POWER OF HIS SPIRIT.
Everything that cannot withstand the fire will be exposed, will come to the surface and be judged by the Lord God, the Great Refiner. All that is not in agreement with God's truth within your heart, when exposed, will be expelled by a demonstration of His conquering love. He is light and when we allow Him to pierce our hearts, our souls and our minds all darkness will flee. Everything that held you back, everything that kept you in bondage will be destroyed and struck down by the force of God's word.
WE ARE BECOME THE HABITATION OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
The only thing that is faster than the speed of light is the darkness that flees when LIGHT enters. Allow Him to expose you completely in the light of His Presence, of His truth and of His love. He is for you and not against you and yes any major heart surgery is painful and traumatic but relax and yield to the process as He works out all for your good. The only thing that will die in this purifying process is your sinful flesh and the real spiritual you, the new creation created after God in righteousness and holiness will be brought forth and be displayed for His glory according to His eternal purposes.
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
We are coming out of the forging fires as powerful weapons in the hand of the Lord. You will thank Him for this process, for every hit, for every trial and for creating in you a strong solid foundation that will endure until the end. We are more than conquerors through Christ.
Hebrews 12: 7  If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? 8  But if you be without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are you illegitimate children, and not sons. 9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11  Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them who are trained by it.
God will sent forth the weapons (His people prepared for war) to bring judgment upon the world systems of Babylon.
Jeremiah 50: 24  I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have contended against the LORD. 25  The LORD has opened His armory, and has brought forth the weapons of His indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.  26  Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left. 27  Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day has come, the time of their punishment.28  The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of His temple.
God is raising up His army through whom these prophesies shall be fulfilled. We are in the time of the end.
Isaiah 13
1  The burden concerning Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2  Lift up a banner upon the high mountain, raise the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3  I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called My mighty ones for My anger, even them that rejoice in My exaltation.
4  The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like that of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts musters the army of the battle.
5  They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole land. (WE ARE THESE WEAPONS BEING FORGED AND TOUGHENED FOR BATTLE)
6  Wail you; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7  Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every man's heart shall melt:
8  And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9  Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy its sinners out of it.
10  For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.
11  And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the ruthless.
12  I will make a man more rare than fine gold; even a man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14  And it shall be as the hunted gazelle, and as a sheep that no man gathers up: every man shall return to his own people, and flee everyone into his own land.
15  Everyone that is found shall be thrust through; and everyone that is caught shall fall by the sword.
16  Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
17  Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18  Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19  And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20  It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
21  But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of howling creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.

22  The hyenas shall cry in its towers, and jackals in their pleasant palaces: her time is near, and her days shall not be prolonged.
