THE HIDDEN FURNACE: WHERE GOD MAKES REVIVALISTS (5)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Sunday, 18 May 2025

Focus: The Encounter That Changes Everything


Message:

In hidden places, God prepares powerful people. This devotional series is for those in quiet, unseen seasons—where God is shaping them with fire. You may feel forgotten, but you’re in the furnace where revivalists are made.


đź“– Key Verse:

Exodus 3:2 – “There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush…”


Devotional:

One moment in God’s fire changes everything. Moses had spent years in silence… then suddenly—fire. It wasn’t a consuming fire—it was a calling fire. God didn’t use thunder or earthquake. He used a bush on fire that didn’t burn up—because sometimes the most life-changing moments come in the most unexpected ways. This wasn’t just a miracle—it was an invitation. God was saying: “You’ve been hidden long enough. Now come closer.” For years, Moses had lived disconnected from destiny. But in a moment of holy fire, he stepped into divine purpose. He didn’t go looking for the fire. The fire found him because he was ready.


đź“– Scripture Reading:

Exodus 3:2 – There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 


đź’§ Refreshing for the Day:

Beloved, there comes a point in every revivalist’s life when the waiting breaks—when the fire falls, the voice speaks, and the wilderness turns into a launching pad. That moment doesn’t come because we strive for it. It comes because we’ve let the desert shape us long enough to carry it. So, get ready. God still meets men in fire. And when He calls—everything changes. You may be one moment away from a life-shifting encounter. Stay sensitive. Stay surrendered. When God calls, don’t just look—step in.


✨ Note This:

The fire that doesn’t consume is the fire that commissions.


🛡️ Responsibility:

Spend quiet time today simply asking: “Lord, what are You saying from the fire?” Let your spirit be still enough to hear the call.


🙏 Prayer:

God of fire, I’m listening. Speak from the flame. Call me deeper. Let this be the encounter that marks me forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


🔥 Prophetic Declaration:

I am ready for divine encounter. The fire is falling. The call is coming. I will turn aside, listen—and be changed forever! In Jesus’ name, Amen!


đź“– Bible Texts:

Exodus 2:15; 3: 1-5
