What Refining Looks Like

Contributed by Glynda Lomax on Aug 2, 2018

Many people are entering into wilderness seasons in their lives. Most have no idea what is happening as the Spirit of God gently leads them into the wilderness, just as He led the Israelites through Moses thousands of years ago.

That way we will recognize it when it shows up, and work WITH God and not against Him in the process. If you work against Him, you will only be in the ...read more
