Revival or Refining Fire?","description":"Many believers pray for God to come\u2014expecting revival, breakthrough, and blessing. But Scripture reveals a fuller picture of what happens when Christ visits His Church. In Malachi 3, His coming is described not merely as comforting, but as a refiner\u2019s fire\u2014one that purifies, confronts, and aligns His people with His holiness. In this teaching, Joseph Mattera unpacks the different ways Jesus \u201ccomes\u201d to His Church throughout history\u2014not only to restore, but to refine; not only to encourage, but to expose and cleanse what is out of order. This is not a message of condemnation, but of preparation. If we truly desire His presence, we must understand what we are asking for\u2014and be ready for the transformation that follows. \ud83d\udc49 Listen to gain a deeper, biblical understanding of Christ\u2019s visitation and how to prepare your heart and your church for it.
