The Fire Won’t Consume Me
Day 3 – The Fire Won’t Consume Me
 
Focus Scripture:
Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
“When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Sister, you may be in the fire, but the fire is not in you.
 
Read that again.
 
You may feel the heat.
You may feel the pressure.
You may feel like everything around you is falling apart…
But the flames will not consume you.
 
Why?
Because you carry something stronger than the fire inside of you—
You carry the presence of the living God.

The Fire Was Promised—But So Was His Protection
 
God never said we wouldn’t go through hard times.
He never said we wouldn’t be tested, betrayed, abandoned, or broken.
But He did say: “You will walk through the fire—BUT YOU WILL NOT BE BURNED.”
 
Let’s be clear—this promise doesn’t mean you won’t cry.
It doesn’t mean you won’t lose sleep.
It doesn’t mean you won’t feel like giving up.
 
It means the fire will refine you—not ruin you.
It means your trial will not have the final word—God will.

This Is Not Just Survival—This Is Refinement
 
The enemy wants you to believe you’re being destroyed.
But in reality—you’re being redefined.
 
The fire doesn’t come to burn away your identity.
It comes to burn away everything that’s not part of it.
  • The shame that told you you’re too damaged
  • The insecurity that said you’re not enough
  • The trauma that tried to silence your voice
  • The addiction that tried to own your future
  • The generational curses that told you you’d never be free
 
The fire is not breaking you—it’s freeing you.
 
God is purifying you in this furnace.
And when you come out, you won’t look like what you’ve been through.
You’ll look like Jesus.

You Are Not What You’ve Been Through
 
Your story will not end in smoke.
Your identity is not your suffering.
You are not just a woman who survived.
 
You are a woman who is rising out of the flames with power, purpose, and authority.
 
You are walking evidence that fire can’t kill what God has called.
 
The same God who stood with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the furnace is standing with you.
And guess what?
They came out unbound, untouched, and not even smelling like smoke.
 
And so will you.

For the Woman of 
Encouraging Her Resilience
 
You’ve carried trauma, shame, and silent pain.
You’ve walked through emotional abuse, addiction, poverty, heartbreak, rejection, and spiritual warfare.
You’ve been through the kind of fires most people wouldn’t survive.
 
But here you are—still standing.
 
Why?
Because the fire was never sent to destroy you.
It was sent to reveal what can’t be burned.
 
And what can’t be burned, sis, is the God-given fire inside of you—
That resilience. That anointing. That calling. That faith. That oil.

This Is Your Moment
 
Stop asking God to take you out of the fire.
Start asking Him to show you what He’s doing inside of it.
 
Let the heat purify your motives.
Let the flames burn off everything false.
Let the pressure produce the oil.
Let the fire finish its work.
 
Day 3 Challenge:
 
Write a letter to the fire.
Tell it what it tried to take from you.
Then write what it actually produced in you.
 
End your letter with this declaration:
“You didn’t consume me—you revealed me.”
 
Today’s Declaration:
 
“This fire will not consume me.
It will not break me.
It will not silence me.
It will not change my name.
It will burn off what is not of God—
And it will reveal the woman I was always meant to be.
I am fire-tested. I am faith-filled. I am not afraid.
The flames are fierce—but so is my God.”
Sis, this fire is not the end.
It’s your transformation ground.
Step through it knowing: you are covered.
You are anointed.
And you will come out of this with no smell of smoke.

My Journey To Resilience And Redemption

Hey Resilient Woman, 

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am a woman who has experienced the depths of pain, addiction, and trauma—but also the transformative power of God’s grace and healing. My life is a testimony of how surrendering to God can bring renewal and restoration, no matter how broken the pieces may seem.
 
For years, I struggled with addiction, loss, and the scars of past trauma, but through faith and determination, I found freedom and purpose. Today, I dedicate my life to helping other women discover that same freedom. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I strive to create resources that inspire hope, build resilience, and guide women on their journey to recovery—just as I’ve been guided on mine.
 
I believe healing is possible for every woman, no matter her story. My mission is to provide faith-based tools and encouragement to help women see their worth, embrace God’s promises, and walk boldly into the life He has planned for them. I am living proof that God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful, and it is my heart’s calling to walk alongside others as they step into their own transformation.
