Stop praying to avoid the fire. Instead, pray for wisdom, discernment, and grace to walk through the fire. This is what produces amazing testimonies that glorify God.

1 Peter 4:12-14 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. ¹³ But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. ¹⁴ If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 

Avoiding the fire stunts your spiritual growth and prevents the perfecting of your faith.

The fire is coming to all and you cannot stop it. The three Hebrew children never even acknowledged that the fire was a threat, though it was seven times hotter than normal.

Fire exposes your level of faith and brings it to a higher place, perfecting and refining it.

James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, ³ for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. ⁴ And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

It is in the fire that Jesus shows Himself strong on your behalf.

When the enemy threatens you with the fire, he unwittingly becomes the catalyst  for your sanctification.

Embrace the Fire because God may even be stoking the flames, knowing that this will make you stronger and more complete.
