When You Walk Through The Fire
Day 5 – Thursday, July 24, 2025
 
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.”

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie
