2024 has been a year of intense refining for the Body of Christ. Through fire, testing, and breaking, God has been purifying His Church, preparing us for the unprecedented glory and harvest that awaits in 2025. This sermon will explore why the refining was necessary and how we are now positioned to step into His promises.

1. Refined Like Gold in the Fire

Scripture: Malachi 3:3 (NKJV)

“He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.”

2. Broken to Be Made Whole

Scripture: Psalm 34:18 (NKJV)

“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”

3. Gilgal: A Place of Preparation

Scripture: Joshua 5:9 (NKJV)

“Then the Lord said to Joshua, ‘This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.’ Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.”

4. A Call to Come Out from Among Them

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV)

“Therefore ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.’”

5. Authentic Worship over Performance

Scripture: John 4:23-24 (NKJV)

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

6. Equipped for the Harvest

Scripture: Matthew 9:37-38 (NKJV)

“Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’”

7. Citizens of Heaven, Ambassadors of Christ

Scripture: Philippians 3:20 (NKJV)

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

8. Miracles, Signs, and Wonders

Scripture: Mark 16:17-18 (NKJV)

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

9. Strengthened Through Trials

Scripture: James 1:2-4 (NKJV)

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

10. The King is Coming

Scripture: Revelation 22:12 (NKJV)

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.”

Step Forward, Remnant

2024 was a year of refining, but 2025 will be a year of triumph. The Lord has equipped and strengthened us for this pivotal moment in history. Let us rise, step boldly into His promises, and shine His light in the darkness. The harvest is here, and the King is coming.
