God says plainly, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… and when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned” (Isaiah 43:2). Notice the language. Not if you pass through—but when. Favor does not prevent the fire; it ensures the fire does not consume you.

Faith that has never been tested cannot be trusted. The Commander never sends His soldiers into battle unprepared, but He also never promotes them unproven. The fire is where our loyalty, courage, and endurance are refined. The Soldier of Light Against Darkness™ doesn’t fear the flames. He walks through them knowing that what survives the fire is stronger, purer, and unstoppable.
