Drawing on scriptures such as Malachi 3:3 and Isaiah 6, the message reveals how God's refining fire is not meant to destroy, but to consecrate and prepare us for His divine purposes. The sermon emphasizes that refinement is not merely about survival but about being crafted into vessels ready to carry something greater—God's glory, purpose, and power. The speaker urges us to embrace the refining process, not resist it, and to move beyond just surviving the fire to being used for God's mission. Through personal anecdotes and biblical examples, this message inspires us to surrender to God's will, allowing Him to shape us into instruments of His divine plan.
