Rev. 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. GOLD by Rev. Martin Sharlow The Lord has been showing me that all of creation is a pattern, or better yet; a picture of the Lord. About a week or so ago, I was panning gold and I became extremely frustrated with the fact that there was so much fool’s gold in the creek. I could see this as a pattern but I just could not get it in focus. So I brought it up at home to John and Connie saying there had to be a picture here or else God had a big sense of humor. Well, Connie hit upon it almost immediately and then I began to understand the picture. First, understand that gold represents the child of God. While fool’s gold represents the counterfeit. Wherever gold is found, there is almost always a large amount of fool’s gold. It's almost a guarantee. But not so, the other way around. Just because you find fool’s gold doesn't mean gold is there. Fool’s gold comes in many different forms. Each one you have to learn how to identify, because they are not always alike. But they always distract you from the real gold. Real gold is always unique. In fact, it's recommended that you learn what the real gold looks like so you will never be fooled. It always looks the same. It comes in many forms and shapes, but it always has the same luster. But fool’s gold, like mica, looks more like gold than the actual gold. It's shinier, thus it's brighter and sticks out easier. So it actually speaks louder than the gold. Many times I have to eliminate the mica so I can see the real gold. Another true test of gold is that when it's put under pressure it is malleable and doesn't break under pressure. But fool’s gold always breaks and crumbles under pressure. Fool’s gold only reflects light if it is caught in the right angle, while gold always maintains the same luster no matter what angle or where you look at it. Now this actually applies to more than just Christians. It can apply to out pourings or really anything that applies to the Lord. Well I hope this helps you and sorry it took me awhile to get this back to you. http://members.aol.com/GSmith5647/Martin1.html |

Gold tried in the fire is faith having gone through testing. May God bless you as you continue in faith.1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: | ||||||

The verse found in 1 Peter 1:7 would indicate that believers are going to go through a real time of testing just before the Lord returns, how could this be? 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: |

might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Peter was talking to saints 2000 years before Christ has returned, and saying that the trials they were going through then are going to be REWARDED at the appearing of Jesus Christ. When Jesus Comes again we enter into an inheritance that is worth all that we might endure in the way of suffering for his name now. |
