New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth . More than a commentary on Genesis, this compelling work explores how the same divine process that formed the world continues to shape individual lives today. Through biblical insight, real-life testimony, and thought-provoking reflections, Chacon uncovers the sacred pattern of God’s hand—from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from brokenness to dominion. “This book was born out of transformation,” Chacon writes, “and my goal is to illuminate the pattern—to show that God’s process is still in motion and that your life is being shaped by it.” Whethe...
There are moments in life when the heat gets so intense and the waters rise so high that we wonder if we’re going to make it through.
We feel stretched, pressed, crushed, refined… and we ask questions we never thought we’d have to ask:
“Why is this happening?”
“Did I miss God?”
“If I belong to Him, why does it hurt this much?”
But the Spirit has been reminding us of something deeper:
The fire and the flood are not signs of God’s absence.
They are proof that we belong to Him.
— Isaiah 43:2
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you…
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned…”
God doesn’t say if we walk through fire or flood — He says when.
Meaning: these moments are not evidence of abandonment but evidence of ownership.
They happen because we are His.
🔥 The Fire Reveals What Was Always There
Recently, I was struck by a simple but profound truth:
We are not being burned to become righteous.
We are being burned because we are righteous.
Fire does not create gold — it reveals it.
Gold is gold before it ever hits the furnace.
But the heat draws out what doesn’t belong and brings forward what does.
That’s what happens in us.
Some of us went through seasons that felt like fire:
prison, heartbreak, poverty, loss, shame, waiting, captivity, years eaten by locusts.
But when everything external was stripped away, what rose to the surface wasn’t weakness — it was identity.
In the fire we discovered:
focus
resolve
tenacity
perseverance
faith
clarity
the ability to remain
the ability to rise
The fire didn’t create those things.
The fire exposed them.
Just like it did for Joseph in prison,
for Daniel in the lions’ den,
for the three Hebrew boys in the furnace.
Their trial wasn’t proof something was wrong with them.
It was proof something was right.
💧 The Flood Forms Capacity
If fire reveals identity, flood forms capacity.
Flood waters stretch us.
They take us beyond our ability to stand on our own.
They teach us to float, to trust, to breathe differently.
Every overwhelming season becomes a classroom where God shows us:
“You can carry more than you think.”
“You can rise higher than you knew.”
“You are not fragile — you’re chosen.”
Because we learn faith in the flood,
endurance in the flood,
and trust in the flood.
It’s no coincidence Scripture ties both fire and flood to God’s presence, not His distance.
✨ This Is the Process by Which Gold Becomes Gold
The Spirit is reminding us:
None of it was wasted.
None of it was accidental.
None of it was meaningless.
What tried to break us only proved what we’re made of.
What tried to drown us only taught us to walk on water.
What tried to consume us only purified the surface so the glory beneath could shine.
This is the process by which gold becomes gold:
We pass through fire and don’t lose ourselves.
We pass through floods and don’t lose our breath.
We come out with a weight of glory we didn’t have before.
Just like Paul said:
“…this light momentary affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:17
The affliction is working for us, not against us.
🔥💧 The Strength We Didn’t Know We Had
There’s a saying in the world:
“What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.”
But the Kingdom version is even better:
“What doesn’t kill us reveals the strength God already placed in us.”
Every trial we’ve survived is a testimony that we are more resilient, more loved, more chosen, and more purposed than we ever imagined.
The fire didn’t consume us.
The flood didn’t overwhelm us.
And here we stand — not because we avoided the process,
but because the process revealed the glory of God in us.
We are gold.
We are His.
And He walks with us through every flame and every flood.
