Ignite: 5 Days to Awaken the Fire of God Within YouSample

Purifying Fire

Verse:
“He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver…” —Malachi 3:3a (NKJV)

Devotional:
God’s fire doesn’t just warm us—it purifies us. The Holy Spirit refines our hearts like a silversmith purifies metal: by turning up the heat and burning away impurities. This isn’t punishment; it’s preparation. He is shaping us into vessels that reflect His glory.

Too often, we resist the refining process because it’s uncomfortable. But without fire, we remain impure and ineffective. Invite the Holy Spirit to burn away everything that dulls your reflection of Christ. Let Him do His deep work.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, refine me. Burn away every selfish motive, every impure desire, and anything that clouds Your image in me. I want to reflect Your glory.

Reflection Questions:
1. What areas of your life need refining?

2. How do you typically respond to spiritual discomfort?

3. Are you willing to invite God’s fire to purify you today?
