The document discusses how the Holy Spirit works to purify believers like metals refined by fire. It asserts that the Holy Spirit uses trials and convictions to remove sins, making people acceptable to God. Symbols of the Holy Spirit like water, fire, and wind are said to help explain these refining works. Believers must go through this spiritual "fire" and make sacrifices to be freed from corruption, just as metals like iron must be purified at high heat to remove impurities. Only by relying on God during this refining process can one become strong in faith and acceptable to God.
HUMAN ORGAN TRANSPLANT:
Organ transplantation is often the only treatment for end state organ failure, such as liver and heart failure. Although end stage renal disease patients can be treated through other renal replacement therapies, kidney transplantation is generally accepted as the best treatment both for quality of life and cost effectiveness. Kidney transplantation is by far the most frequently carried out transplantation globally.
The legislation called the Transplantation of Human Organ Act (THO) was passed in India in 1994 to streamline organ donation and transplantation activities. Broadly, the act accepted brain death as a form of death and made the sale of organs a punishable offence. With the acceptance of brain death, it became possible to not only undertake kidney transplantations but also start other solid organ transplants like liver, heart, lungs, and pancreas.

One of the greatest miracles that Christ performed on this earth was the resurrection of Lazarus from the grave, depicted in the gospel of John Chapter 11. By doing so, many of the people’s eyes were opened and they believed that Christ was in fact God. So who was this Lazarus?
A couple weeks ago we talked about the season of famine, which as we know, is an extreme scarcity of food and in a spiritual sense, scarcity of the word of God. For this lesson we turn our focus to the season of drought and the importance of groundwater during this arid time, speaking first in common terms and then breaking it down spiritually to help you gain a better understanding as it pertains to your salvation.
We are living in the days where great faith is needed to survive in this world. I often cringe when I look at the news. What do we have to look forward to? Today, we face a volatile economy, with the dow plunging more than 2,300 points on this past Thursday and deemed to be the worst day on Wall Street since 1987 (they are said to have rebounded from the plunge). There is a global crisis, a pandemic, as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread, topping out at 125,000 cases globally. The world is in a sheer panic with consumers buying items such as, toilet paper and hand sanitizer in bulk and major events, schools and entertainments venues shutting down. As for our political climate, well, Trump is our president. I will leave it at that. Violence and Sodomy, as we know, continues to run rampant. Not to mention the natural disasters we face. This list goes on and on.
Our God is indeed a merciful God (PS. 136), showing compassion and goodness to the righteous and wicked alike.
The fact that we woke up this morning, that we have a roof over our heads and food and drink is a testament to God’s daily mercy.
More importantly, we have His grace and truth, that is profoundly a testament of His mercy.
When we pray, we come before the mercy seat of God, asking for His forgiveness with daily petitions for ourselves and for our loved ones and even our enemies.
We cannot live without mercy, therefore, let us further understand what it is.
The act of enduring mental, physical or emotional discomfort or difficulty for a prolonged period of time with patience and spiritual integrity.
The endurance of insult, abuse or mistreatment without waver from the truth.
Not easily provoked.
A state of calmness and security one feels in life because his or her faith/hope in God.
The ability to fight disquieting or oppressive thoughts that jeopardize your spiritual well being.
Maintaining harmony in personal relations with your family, friends and strangers.
Tabernacles and Ingathering are celebrated simultaneously as the third of the three great feasts commanded to be kept by God. This feast is held on the fifteenth day of the seventh month to the 22nd day after all of the harvest has been gathered in. The first and the eighth days are Sabbaths and holy convocations.
The Day of Atonement is held on the tenth day of the seventh month. It is our most solemn day of the year. It is a holy convocation and Sabbath of rest. We fast on the Day of Atonement and offer prayers for ourselves, our families, our church, the lost tribe of Israel and all of God’s saints throughout the world. Israel was commanded to afflict their souls, to fast, to bring an offering and to rest.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Recap
• The Holy Spirit does great works on our
behalf
– He sends our prayers to God the Father
– He teaches us about the difference of sin and
righteousness
– He convinces us that we must yield unto God
– He gives us talents and gifts
4/28/2012 2
3. Remember
• The entire throne of God works on our
behalf
• So that we may be an acceptable offering
unto God the Father
• We must also participate in our own
salvation
4/28/2012 3
4. In addition
• The Holy Spirit has many symbols
– Water
– Rain
– Fire
– Lightning
– Wind
– Dove
• These help explain a work he does on our
behalf
4/28/2012 4
5. Water
• It was discussed how the Holy Spirit is like
water
• He is everywhere
• We are like plants
• We need that water to grow, develop and
bare fruit of righteousness
4/28/2012 5
6. Fire
• Just like water was necessary for the
preparations of the offerings during the
Levitical priesthood Leviticus 1:3-4, 9
• Fire was necessary
• During the Pentecost with the Apostles
• Fire was present Acts 2: 1-3
4/28/2012 6
7. Fire
• It is one of the most dangerous forces on
earth
– You can swim in a pool of water you can’t
swim in a pool of fire
• It is necessary for every day life
– If you enjoy eating, using electricity, driving or
having a warm house in the winter
4/28/2012 7
8. Fire
• Used to purify
• To refine
• Heal
• To bring forth life
4/28/2012 8
9. Fire
• It is special because it changes matter
• On the molecular level
• That is why the soft dough will have a
harden crust on the outside and tender
bread on the inside
• Atoms were rearranged
– Some changed position
– Others simply removed
– To form something completely new!
4/28/2012 9
11. Will change with fire
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 11
12. Let us look deeper
4/28/2012 Microscopic view of sand 12
13. Glass
• See how fire changes a substance
4/28/2012 13
14. Fire
• What does that have to do with us
• We were changed on the molecular level
from the garden
• Evil and death are now in our DNA
• They were never suppose to be there
4/28/2012 14
15. Fire and the Holy Ghost
• That mutation has caused us to have
impurities
• That keep us from being what we were
intended to be from the beginning
• We have to go through the fire to be
acceptable unto God the Father
4/28/2012 15
16. In a volume of a book
• Where is the evidence of this
• Malachi 3: 1-3
• Ecclesiasticus 2: 1, 5
4/28/2012 16
17. We are like…
• Gold
• Iron
• Silver
• God compared us to these metals for a
reason
4/28/2012 17
22. Is it possible
• All things are possible through God
• Remember we serve the God that sees all
and knows all
• He speaks and the waves stand still
• He speaks and the ground opens up
4/28/2012 22
24. The tiniest change
• Its funny what a little arranging can do
– The hormones that make men different from women
are essentially the same except for the top right
corner of the molecules
– That change is responsible for the differences
between the genders
• That’s what fire does
• It rearranges at the molecular level
• It removes atoms
• Causes bonds to be broken and made
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 24
25. Recall
• We are like iron and gold
• If we can understand how they are
processed
• We can then learn how we are refined
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 25
26. Iron
• An abundant material
• That is essential for modern life
– No roads
– Or cars
– Bridges
– Large structures could exist
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 26
27. Iron
• Unfortunately in its common state it is
bonded to oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus
• Which will change its properties
– Weakens
– Breaks the bond
– Making it useless
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 27
28. We are like iron
• In our current state
– Sin is bonded to us
– It weakens us
– Changed us into something unacceptable to
God
• Just like oxygen holds tightly to iron until it
disintegrates
• Death and sin holds unto us
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 28
31. Used to reinforce roads
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 31
32. Nearly last forever like this…
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 32
33. How??
• Though oxygen tries to hold tight to iron
• Fire can liberate iron from it
• Iron goes through an intense process
– It is melted
– It is beaten
– It is blasted with air
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 33
34. The refiner’s fire
• The Holy Spirit will force us to see the
error of our ways
– Forcing us to see ourselves truly
– He will remove the blinding mask of pride
– We will see all of our defects and blemishes
• He will show us the Savior that we pierced
Zechariah 12:10
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 34
35. There are examples of this
• Let us review
• Acts 2: 22-24, 36-39
• Acts 9: 1-6
• From those scriptures were they not
shown their wretchedness and corruption
• Let us also consider what Job said in Job
42: 1-6 when he saw his creator
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 35
36. Purifying Flames
• They are required so we are willing to let
go of those things that make us corrupt
before God
• We have to hate that part of us so we can
be liberated from it!
• Hatred is liken to killing something
– Luke 14: 26-27 Romans 6: 6, 12-13
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 36
37. Our part
• We all have to make sacrifices
• The physical offerings our ancestors made
were examples of what we must do
spiritually
– Psalms 51: 17, I Peter 2: 5
• Those sacrifices must go through the fire
– I Corinthians 3: 11-14
• In fact our entire life must be lived like a
living sacrifice
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 37
38. Our savior’s words
• Matthew 16:24-27
• Matthew 10: 38
• What do these scriptures mean??
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 38
39. Did you know
• That there are particular levels of heat
needed to liberate iron
• God knows what temperature to use for
his children
• This can differ from person to person
• What was necessary to make Peter follow
Jesus was different for Paul
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 39
40. Iron to Steel
• Steel isn’t just iron
• Other metals are added in perfect
proportion
• So that it is strong, stable
• Usable for multiple applications
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 40
41. Measurements
• The weights and proportions have to be
exact to a make the desirable steel
• We are no different
• Our God measures everything and his
measurement is perfect
• If the person in question does not measure
up they are not acceptable
• Daniel 5: 24-28, Job 28: 23-26
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 41
42. Just as iron is measured
• God weighs us
• If we don’t come up to correct proportions
• We will be found wanting
• He will have something against us
– Revelations 2: 1-5
– You cannot leave any work of God undone or
you will not measure up
– Matthew 23: 23
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 42
43. Our Goal
• To be accepted by our heavenly Father
• That will only occur if we are free from all
impurities (sin)
• The Holy Spirit will apply fire at the correct
temperature
– To ensure we see what sin is and the folly it
causes
– To make it easier for us to let go of it so that
we become what God intended us to be
4/28/2012 Template copyright www.brainybetty.com 2005 43
44. What we must do
• Put God first in everything we do
• Know that just like iron or gold that is
made to a better materiel in a furnace
• We will encounter trials, tests and other
situations
– That we may not understand
– But if we lean upon Lord Jesus
– We will be stronger and accepted by God in
the end
