God is going to turn up the heat in this next season and start to put his finger on areas of His church that He is not happy with. The fire will either make you run or surrender to its baptism. If you run you will find yourself in the darkest winter of your life. If you surrender you will be able to sit by the fire and be comforted by its warmth. Don't get me wrong, the fire will burn away the chaff of sinful habits, thoughts and heretical doctrines of demons. It will consume you with more passion for Christ. Some will be tempted to pour water over the fire to decrease the pain of its stinging truth but this is the time when you must endure the suffering of seeing the truth for the first time. Don't get stuck going over past hurts, regrets and feeling pity over all your past failures. The devil comes to these mental parties and will join you in the accusation. Soon you will succumb to defeat and surrender if you allow yourself to go down this road. Know this, He is author and finisher of your faith! He who started a good work in you will undoubtedly will finish it. I say this again, "Surrender to the baptism of fire!"
