REDEEMED WITHIN BROKENNESS
Dear beloveds of the Lord, you who have gone through great persecution, being tried as silver is tried and purified… You have been greatly afflicted, lashed by the storms and not found the comfort of being established. I have redeemed you through the fire. I AM building beautiful foundations through your praise to the Lion of Judah. He shall roar against tyranny coming against your soul and you will have nothing to fear. Terror and intimidation will be removed and ground to powder before you. I shall build you a sparkling house where you and your children shall dwell in peace.
Always build upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, with gold, silver and precious stones. In so doing, it will stand through the fire of testings and you shall receive your reward.
Isa 54:11-17 NIV
“O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires. 12 I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. 13 All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children’s peace. 14 In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.
“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc; 17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.
1 Cor 3:11-15 NKJV
For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life… and He died for you.
