The Meat Grinder Vision
By Glynda Lomax on Feb 18,

I was in worship and a vision appeared to me of something that
resembled a meat grinder with a funnel on top. I saw a man go into the top of
the funnel and drop down into the meat grinder, and it began grinding. I began
to see small pieces of hard substances to fly out of the grinder as it was
grinding. I saw that the man was going through terrible pain and adversity, and
many difficult situations while he was in the grinder. Then I heard the words,
“Threshing Floor.”

many difficult situations while he was in the grinder. Then I heard the words,
“Threshing Floor.”
I saw that none of the fluffy teachings the man had heard could
withstand the terrible pressure of the meat grinder, and they quickly flew away
out the top. As I watched, I was shown the people who were in the meat grinder
were those who had laid down the most for the Kingdom of God. When the grinder
stopped, the man dropped out of the chute at the bottom, but he looked different
– he was stronger, wearing very shiny armor, and he was smiling and really
happy. I then heard the word, “Equipped.”

Off to the side, I could see others who had laid down less were
also going through things. I saw some being pounded by meat tenderizing mallets,
some very hard, and some not so hard. They would cry out as the mallet came down
on them, but the gentle hand wielding the mallet continued to pound. I knew in
my spirit when I saw this that things were being worked out of them by the
pounding. I felt strongly the Lord had something to say to us about what He was
showing me, and I began to pray that He would reveal it. This is what He
said.

Yes, My daughter, many of My children who have been called
to My kingdom work are now on My threshing floor. I am separating from them all
that does not please Me, and making them meet for My use.

These are those who have submitted themselves wholly to Me
for My purposes, and great shall be their reward, for the works they shall now
do shall glorify My son in the earth.

do shall glorify My son in the earth.
A time of great darkness approaches in the earth when no
man shall know or understand all that is occurring. Few will see My purposes in
what is to come, only My children who have walked with Me through seasons of
darkness will understand and know how to acclimate themselves in that time. In
that time, there shall be great turmoil, great need, and much uncertainty. It
shall be the darkest of times.

I shall give My children who are walking close to Me eyes
to see in the darkness. I shall give them great and mighty revelations that they
may survive what is to come. I shall provide for them and protect them and keep
all that is theirs, that they may tell others of My great
faithfulness.

There is nothing you need to, My children, to prepare for
what is coming, for I am able to provide all you need. Walk with Me. Seek My
face daily. Do not neglect your time with Me or be led astray by the
distractions of the world, for the world cannot save you from what is to
come.

Go forth, speak My word. Tell others of your God who is
mighty to save and deliver. Watch and pray, for this time quickly
approaches.

Timothy 2:20-21: But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of
silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to
dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel
unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every
good work.

let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.

Brings to mind some of Paul's teachings:
1 Thes 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your 'work' of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
1 Thes 2:12-13
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
A pruning/trimming off Religion and false doctrine is a good thing – the "most excellent" Way, Love.
