Purification...

`This morning in prayer after spending some time just worshiping him I asked, "Father, what do I you want me to know right now...?"

SAW: Define purification.

Quickened memory: In high school I had this biology/chemistry teacher and one of her key sayings to us was this, "Okay, so you missed it...that's okay because you know what...you won't miss it next time...!"

HEARD: Because I love you, I refine you...although you stumble at times~Don't worry, you will get back up and each time you stumble I have purified you ...refined you even more...You are learning my ways...You are more precious that Gold.

Daniel 11: 35 (NIV)
Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined purified made spotless until the end of time, for it will still come at the appointed time. 

Daniel 11: 35 (NASB)
Some of them who have insight will fall in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time because it is still to come at the appointed time.  

Daniel 11: 35(KJV)
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, to make them white, even to the end of time; because it is yet for an appointed time.  

Daniel 12: 10 (KJV)
Many shall be purified and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.  

Daniel 12: 10 (NIV)
Many shall be made spotless and refined; but the wicked shall continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are  wise will understand.
