VISION of the STEEL MILL-by Mitt Jeffords.

"Who shall stand at his appearing?..."

"I found myself in the middle of a steel mill, and all around me were the sights and the sounds of one would expect to see and hear in a steel mill that was in full production. I saw fiery sparks every where I looked, and the sound of "shhhhh"; the sound that hot iron metal is dipped in water to be cooled. The only thing missing was the mill workers; for there was not one man to be found anywhere. I then noticed that not far from me was a molten mass just laying on the floor; and it had no shape or form to it. The outside of this mass appeared burnt black and crackly, appearing just like the lava that I have seen in pictures from the volcanoes in Hawaii.

Though the outside of this mass appeared cool and hard, I could tell that the inside was still molten hot. I was studying this molten mass when all of sudden it started taking on a form; it was a simple upright form that was about 4 feet high and 2 feet across; other than be upright, it had no other characteristics to it. The outside of this mass still appeared as black and crackly as lava. I was amazed because though I saw this mass taking shape before my eyes, I could not visibly see who was doing it. For about 15 minutes I had been trying to figure out what this form was before me when all of sudden, starting at the top, all of the burnt outside pieces began to fall off this figure. It was not until the bottom pieces fell away before I could what this form was. It was the figure of a man who was bent over at the waist, with head straight down towards the floor, his arms were running parallel to his legs, and he appeared to be made out of sterling silver.

I hardly had time to consider what this new form was before I could discern that this figure was about ready for another. I then observed as this figure changed from sterling silver to liquid silver. Once it became liquid, this figure then stood completely upright. After this figure stood upright, it then hardened again; this time the figure appeared as the most clear sparkling crystal that I have ever seen. I do not know how I perceived this, but I knew that this new man was completely filled with all humility and boldness, having all confidence and faith in God. It was then that I woke up from my dream. When I opened my eyes, there standing at the foot of my bed was this very figure of a man that I had seen in my dream. He leaned towards me and said, "I stand corrected"; and then he disappeared.

Immediately the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me that which is written in Malachi, "Who shall continue in the day of his coming? Who may abide in the day of his coming? For he is like a refiners fire and a fuller's soap; and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver so that they may present before the Lord an offering in righteousness". I then shook at the reality of what the Lord has shown me; for many, many are looking for the coming of the Lord, but who is he who has gone through the fire of the Lord's corrections? I then asked the Lord, "Who does this man represent, Lord. Is it me?". And the Lord then answered and said, "The man that you saw in your vision, he is your inner man; your heart, your mind, and your soul. The inner man is he which no man has power to correct or to change of himself. The man who attempts to correct himself, he is the man who does so that he might be found pleasing and acceptable in the sight of men, as well as in his own eyes. He who loves me, he it is who humbles his heart before me, presenting himself before me, asking for me to correct him. I correct all those whom I love because they desire to for me to change them into my own image", says the Lord."When I correct you, I change things in you; for I do that which is impossible for any man to do...." "I have asked you to seek for the truth.

I have asked you to believe and to trust me when I said unto you that you do not yet know the truth. There are many things that you do not yet comprehend because you have not yet asked to understand them. If you ask diligently and if you will focus your eyes on me, and not on your own self, your own emotions, your own reasoning, your own vision, or on your circumstances, then I will show you the truth. If you will seek my goodness, in all that comes upon you, then I will reveal myself unto you. Do not think it strange nor be dismayed at the fiery trials which confront you. Remember, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, for just as I was with them, so also am I always with you. Look for me in the fire, for you are not alone.

Believe on my words, and look for the good that I desire to bring forth in all that you go through. Remember that which is written, "Happy is the man whom the Lord corrects". I AM; I Am a consuming fire. I desire to baptize you with my fire. I am that fire. I am that fire that you must pass through to return to paradise, the kingdom of God. The kingdom which is about to appear on earth. But who shall stand when I appear except those who have been corrected? Are you ready for me?" says the Lord.
