When You Walk Through The Fire

When You Walk Through the Fire

Scripture: “When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” — Isaiah 43:2 (NLT)

Morning Devotional: Fire-Proofed by God’s Hand 
 
Woman of resilience—let me remind you of this divine truth: the fire was never sent to kill you. It was sent to prove you are already covered.
 
Isaiah 43:2 is God’s bold declaration over your life:
You may walk through the fire. You may walk through oppression. You may walk through heartbreak, abandonment, spiritual warfare, addiction, depression, betrayal, and rejection—but the fire WILL NOT consume you.
 
Why?
Because you are not walking through it alone.
The God of angel armies is walking through it with you.
He didn’t promise you wouldn’t feel the heat.
He didn’t promise you wouldn’t cry.
He didn’t promise the battle wouldn’t leave bruises.
But He did promise this: YOU. WILL. NOT. BURN.

What Is God Really Saying in This Scripture?
 
“When you walk through the fire…” – This means fire is inevitable. God doesn’t shield you from every flame—but He shields you in the flame. That’s the difference between destruction and divine protection.
“You will not be burned up…” – You won’t be lost in what was meant to destroy you.
“The flames will not consume you.” – The devil doesn’t get the final say. Your past doesn’t own you. Your trauma didn’t win. You’re still here because God kept you.
 
This is not poetic encouragement—this is a covenant promise.
God is not just watching you in the fire—He is with you in the fire, holding you, shielding you, speaking over you, and preparing you for the other side.

To the Woman Who’s Still Smelling the Smoke…
 
You came out of abuse.
You survived addiction.
You made it through that dark valley that should have taken you out.
That wasn’t luck—that was GOD.
That wasn’t coincidence—that was COVERING.
 
You’re still standing.
Still breathing.
Still believing.
Still praising.
Still healing.
 
And THAT is your proof that God walks through fire.

This Is Divine Protection in Action
 
Sis, protection is not the absence of the storm.
It’s God’s power keeping you intact IN the middle of it.
 
Just like the Hebrew boys in the furnace—you’re coming out without a single burn.
You may have walked through flames, but you’re not burned.
You may have cried through nights of pain, but your purpose survived the fire.
You may feel the heat, but Heaven is keeping you whole.

Spiritual Awareness Activation
 
Today, say this out loud like you mean it:
“I have walked through fire, but I was never alone. The flames tried to consume me, but they could not. God is my shield, my strength, and my survival story. I’m not just alive—I’m anointed.”

Prayer:
 
Father, I thank You for the flames that You walked through with me. Thank You for never letting the fire consume me, even when I thought it would. God, today I stand as proof that You are a keeper, a protector, a fire-walker, a bondage-breaker. Help me never forget who brought me through. Teach me to see the fire not as my failure—but as the forge that purified my faith. I give You the glory. I give You the praise. I am not burned—I am covered. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Affirmation of the Day:
 
“The fire formed—but it did not finish me. I walked through the flames, and I came out free. I am fireproofed by the hand of God.”

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.
