In this transformative process there are several stages. We must see the components of the wound or disfigurement to be made new, we must then choose to truthfully submit that acknowledgement before the Master Potter and then we must walk thoroughly faithful that those changes/reformations will come to pass in perfect timing. Timing not born of self or expectation but the Promise of continuous elements to perfect us over time.

Unfortunately the chemical, emotional, spiritual catalyst necessary to this Process is painful, prolonged and tedious when faced with resistance, lack of joy or continued resistance to find joy in the testing, compression, pressure and heat required to bring about our transformation. We are the mettle of Humanity and to remove the lesser components, elements and molecules of what we were requires heat and pressure to liquefy our minerals that the dross may rise and be removed from the purified person.

We don’t like being super heated but we want the result of this process. This is “Man’s Rub”, that we must subject ourselves to the Master’s refining process in order to achieve objectives, destinations and transformation not available in our own power and authority. People do not wish to “Enjoy the Pain” seeing it necessary but wish to find, as human’s will the easy route to perfection. This process is expressly unfavorable to them who wish to fulfill their sensory desire of sin and is therefore avoided by most, eschewed by those deceived and spoken foul by those loving their sin over God.

Whatever you choose you will be choosing one of the options given to man by God. You may believe that you choosing your own road of service and sin allows you to escape God when in fact it commits to His Projected end in Judgment, separation and Pain. This process when embraced is the sole path to fulfillment in this life and universe. God wants to prepare us for the Next iteration of Creation which may only be reached by surrender to His path and Process. So hold on and find joy in the midst of the Seven Fold Crucible of this World as it clearly sets your sights beyond the possibility and elements of this Life. Instead focusing on the unseen Life in the New World to come.
