Where Will You End Up?

Sunday, October 20th, 2024

Where will you end up when you come face to face with Jesus as Your Judge?

John testified and recorded what he saw by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 1:

17 And when I saw Jesus, I fell at His Feet as dead. But He laid His Right Hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

John is the same disciple who spent 3 ½ years with Jesus during His earthly ministry.  He was one of the inner circle of disciples.  He lay on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper yet when John encountered Jesus as The Judge, he fell to His Feet as dead.

Luke recorded a similar event as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a Light shone around him from Heaven.

4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a Voice but seeing no one.

8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Both Paul and John responded in the exact same way… they both ate dirt!  Do you think you would be able to respond differently?

King David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 110:

1 The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My Right Hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!

3 Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of Holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth.

4 The LORD has sworn And will not relent, “You are a Priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” (who are both kings and priests)

5 The Lord is at Your Right Hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.

6 He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries.

7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; Therefore He shall lift up the head.

Paul went into detail concerning Jesus’ position at the Right Hand of FATHER as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power

20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!

GOD THE FATHER by HIS Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the Heavenly places,

21 And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!

22 And He alone is the Leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given Him the highest rank above all others.

Jesus sits at the Right Hand of THE FATHER and has complete power and authority over all, without exception.  We can walk in the reverential Fear of THE LORD now or sadly wait until we are at the Judgement Seat of Christ.  I suggest that you don’t delay.  If you haven’t been walking is such reverence, repent!

Jesus Reveals Himself As Judge

Saturday, October 19th, 2024

The Apostle John saw Jesus as The Judge, not The Lamb!

John testified and recorded what he saw by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 1:

7 Behold, He (Jesus) is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty.”

Jesus affirms that He has all knowledge and the sum of all Truth when He stated that He is the Alpha (the beginning) and Omega (the end), and everything in between.

9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud Voice, as of a trumpet,

11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the Voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the Feet and girded about the Chest with a golden band.

14 His Head and Hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His Eyes like a flame of fire;

15 His Feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His Voice as the sound of many waters;

16 He had in His Right Hand seven stars, out of His Mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His Right Hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

18 I am He Who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.

Did Jesus look like a Lamb?  No, He is described as The Overcoming Judge Who presides over His Kingdom with justice.  His Eyes are like a flame of fire which means He can see through all the wood, hay, and stubble allowing Him to see what gold, silver, and precious stones each of us has within us.  His Feet were like fine brass, a form of judgment, as if refined in a furnace.  His Voice is as many waters which indicates He can communicate in all languages so no one has an excuse thinking that He would not understand and communicate with them.

His Mouth is as a two-edged sword able to divide between the soul and the spirit of each man.  Paul refers to this when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 4:

11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

12 For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the Eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

In other Words, there is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before His Eyes, to Whom we must render an account.

Each of us will give account as we stand before The Judgment Seat of Christ.  We currently have the opportunity to correct anything that would produce regret and remorse.  Don’t delay!

The Ultimate Judge

Friday, October 18th, 2024

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, we will approach Him as The Judge, not as The Lamb!

It is imperative that we understand this side of Jesus Christ.

Most of us have not considered Jesus as the ultimate Judge Who executes justice.  Instead, we have viewed Him as a docile Lamb Who is gentle, meek, and mild.  Jesus is not your buddy who overlooks your unrighteousness, lawlessness, or slothfulness.

Let us revisit His Words.

Jesus spoke this parable in Luke chapter 19:

12 Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

All ten servants were given the same opportunity to be productive for the nobleman.  They were separate from the other citizens who were not his servants.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

Those who rejected him were of a different group.

15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

We are now in the last days knowing that Jesus has received The Kingdom.  He fulfilled His mandate as The Lamb of GOD and now He is ready to be The Judge of His Servants (including us).  What was He going to judge?  Our productivity on behalf of The Kingdom.

16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’

17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

The first servant was totally focused on being productive on behalf of the Kingdom.  He put the money to work in a most effective way.  He was fully occupied with doing business and trade.

It is vital to see how Jesus judged the first servant, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’

19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

Jesus judged the servant according to his results which were of a lesser degree.  In this case, Jesus did not say “Well done, good servant”.  However, the servant was still rewarded with greater authority.

20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

The third servant did nothing.  Could we infer that 8 out of 10 servants did nothing?  Is this the classic 80/20 rule?  20% worked while 80% watched?

22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’

24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’

25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)

26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

The third servant lost out on his opportunity to be productive and in authority.  He was judged to be a wicked servant and did not make the cut.  He did not really know Jesus, so he did nothing for The Kingdom.

Our Master makes servants into rulers.

This next and last verse of this parable must not be overlooked!

27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.

This final verse brings the full force of judgment on the enemies of Christ.  As Judge, Jesus demanded these enemies to be slain before Him.  It is critical that we see Jesus as the ultimate Judge and that we walk in the Fear of THE LORD at all times!

Our Individual Assessment- Continued…

Thursday, October 17th, 2024

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, each of us will be assessed according to our works, as well as our intent!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 2:

14 God always makes His grace visible in Christ, Who includes us as partners of His endless triumph. Through our yielded lives He spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go.

15 We have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God—a perfume of Life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing.

16 The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the Life-giving aroma that leads to abundant Life. And who of us can rise to this challenge?

17 For unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God’s Word who water down the message. We are those sent from God with pure motives, who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ.

The Greek word peddler (kapēleuō ) means “retailer” but in classical Greek it comes with a negative connotation (“one who sells at an illegitimate profit”).  The adverbial form of the noun is “cheating” or “deceitful.”

In the eighteen years of Servias, we have never had a payroll.  We chose to resist any temptation to receive personal gain from contributions.  No one can accuse us of “peddling” the Gospel for personal gain.  This allows us to operate above reproach.  Our focus continues to assist those in need.

Assessing one’s intent is critical in planting seed when contributing to various ministries.  I acknowledge that in larger ministries there is a need for payrolls.  However, it does place a burden on those in charge to hear The Holy Spirit in those matters.  In our case, we can spread the Word of GOD without the concern of “tickling” the ears of major contributors thus we feel no obligation to water down the Word under monetary pressure. 

Is this why many ministries do not emphasize the ministries of The Holy Spirit in church gatherings?  Those in charge will be assessed accordingly.

The three requirements that will stand the test of time:

Which of our works will fall into the category of gold, silver, and precious stones rather than wood, hay, and stubble?

Your motive: for GOD’S glory.  Are you doing it in obedience to the Word of GOD or are you doing you own thing or making your own rules?

Are you working in the power of The Holy Spirit or in your own fleshly ability?

The only acceptable power for ministry is the ministry of The Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 15:

18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient-

19 in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ.

Each of the blogs you read are only written after I pray in THE SPIRIT so as to receive what needs to be expressed at the time.  This is by design.  I am not qualified to write based on my own fleshly ability.  Some days The Word is rather corrective in nature.  And believe me, I need such correction as much as those who read these blogs.  My goal is to rid myself of all self-centeredness and pride… and there was a lot to deal with.

It is my deepest desire for Jesus to speak the following Words to me:

Luke 19:17 TPT

“‘Splendid! You have done well, My excellent servant. Because you have shown that I can trust you in this small matter, I now grant you authority to rule over ten cities.’

It is not how you start the race; it is how you finish it!

Our Individual Assessment- Continued

Wednesday, October 16th, 2024

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, each of us will be assessed according to our works!

This judgment will assess your service to Jesus during your life.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 3:

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

We will not be judged according to the quantity of our works but rather the quality of our works.  Wood, hay, and stubble are easily obtained in quantities.  Gold, silver, and precious stones are not easily obtained and represent quality of our works.

What am I producing?  Is it wood, hay, and stubble which will be burned up?  What a tragedy it would be to work for something you have piled up and in the Day of Judgment, it is burned to ashes!  There is nothing left but your naked soul and nothing else to show for your life.

How will our service stand the test of fire?  First, we must assess our motive.  Is my motive for GOD’S glory or is it to exalt me in some way?  If your motive is wrong, it will be burned up.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 10:

31 Whether you eat or drink, live your life in a way that glorifies and honors God.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

An unrenewed mind says, “What’s in it for me?”  The renewed mind says, “Where will GOD get the glory?”  Your motivation is the key.

If your work is to stand the test of fire, it must be done in obedience to the Word of GOD.  If done, our works will stand the test of time.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Jesus looked at the motives of some:

22  Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name, cast out demons in Your Name, and done many wonders in Your Name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Jesus did not challenge the prophecies or wonders.  Their motives were the issue.  Magnifying self is practicing lawlessness.  There is only one essential requirement of Heaven, it is doing the Will of THE FATHER that is in Heaven!  Jesus told these miracle workers, “Depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!”

In the Book of Numbers beginning in chapter 22, we read of the miraculous life of Balaam.  He was an example of having the wrong motivation in his ministry.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 2:

15 They have wandered off the main road and have gone astray, because they are prophets who love profit—the wages they earn by wrongdoing. They are following the example of Balaam, son of Beor,

16 who was rebuked for evil by a donkey incapable of speech yet that spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

Yes, the love of money is the root of all evil.  Let not greed be found during the assessment of our works.

Our Individual Assessment

Tuesday, October 15th, 2024

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, each of us will be assessed according to our works!

The Word of GOD describes judgment to come forth in four distinct events.

The first will be before the judgment seat of Christ. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:

10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.

11 For it is written: “As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.”

12 So then each of us (Christians) shall give account of himself to God.

13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

The only person you’re going to have to give account for is yourself!  Neither you nor I can assess the motives, history, or other factors impacting another person’s life.  Only THE LORD knows.

Paul returns to this topic in 2nd Corinthians chapter 5:

10 For we must all appear (or made manifest) before the Judgment Seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

11 Since we are those who stand in Holy awe of the Lord, we make it our passion to persuade others to turn to Him. We know that our lives are transparent before the God Who knows us fully, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences.

There will be no secrets because everything will be exposed.  Nothing will be hidden.  We will be before the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive according to the way we have lived in the body.  There are only two categories, whether good or bad, nothing in between.  Everything that is not good is bad.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

There is no neutrality!  When you are unwilling to commit, you are effectively against Christ and His directives, and you will be judged accordingly.  This is a sober reality that we all must consider.  How many are sitting in church pews unwilling to confront this Truth?  With The Holy Spirit, there is no neutrality!

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 2:

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble!

20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Those who partner with Servias are rewarded for their faith since we assist in providing kids in need with food and clothing on a consistent monthly basis.  We will receive Heavenly rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

There are five main features of this judgment:

It is individual, each of us will answer for himself, for the things done in the body, the way we lived while we were in this body… whether good or bad.

Secondly, this judgment is not for condemnation.  We are going to be judged but we will not be condemned if we are true, sincere believers in Christ.  The principle of judgment is for assessment of service.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 3:

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. 

And in John chapter 5:

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes in Him Who sent Me has everlasting Life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

This judgment will assess your service to Jesus during your life.

Paul expresses this Truth when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 3:

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

When the fire of judgment comes, what will be left and endure?

The Ten Minas

Sunday, October 13th, 2024

There are four major successive scenes of judgment to play out!

The Word of GOD describes judgment to come forth in four distinct events.

The first will be before the judgment seat of Christ. 

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 4:

17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the House of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the Gospel of God?

FATHER always judges the House of God first because we are the ones who have the most Truth.

18 Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

The ungodly will be judged as well because no one will be able to claim ignorance.  You only must look at nature all around us that testifies of the existence of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY else chaos would have destroyed the earth eons ago.

19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the Will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

In other Words, those who suffer for following God’s Will should enfold their lives into the Creator, Who will never fail them, and continue to always do what is right.  Being led by The Holy Spirit will cause us to always do what is right in HIS Eyes.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 19:

12 Therefore Jesus said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a Kingdom and to return.

13 So He called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

He entrusted each of them to invest while He was away. “Trade with it and put the money to work until I return.”

14 But his citizens hated Him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this Man to reign over us.’

15 “And so it was that when He returned, having received the Kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom He had given the money, to be called to Him, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Each person is given access to Heavenly Treasure to be used for increase and will be judged accordingly.

16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’

17 And He said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

Because we are faithful over a little, we will be given greater authority upon His return.

18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’

19 Likewise He said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

Notice that Jesus did not say “Well done, good servant” in this case.  This servant could have done more with what he was given.  However, he was given greater authority but to a lesser degree.

20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

21 For I feared You, because You are an austere man. You collect what You did not deposit, and reap what You did not sow.’

22 And He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

23 Why then did you not put My money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’

24 “And He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’

25 (But they said to Him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)

26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

27 But bring here those enemies of Mine, who did not want Me to reign over them, and slay them before Me.'”

Jesus had no problem with us receiving interest on our deposits.  He did have a problem with the servant doing absolutely nothing.  Why?  The servant did not know who Jesus is and did not attempt to find out or he would have been productive in some manner.

The wicked servant will lose everything!  The enemies of Christ will suffer execution, a severe judgment. There are righteous servants and there are unrighteous ones but there is no neutrality.  We either serve Christ or we serve ourselves.  It is our choice, but that choice does have consequences. 

If you are “all in” for Christ, you will even receive an additional reward that had been allocated to another who had done nothing.  Faithfulness comes by hearing The Holy Spirit and responding accordingly.  The first servant falls into this category.

The Bema Seat Judgment

Saturday, October 12th, 2024

There are four major successive scenes of judgment to play out!

The Word of GOD describes judgment to come forth in four distinct events.

The first will be before the judgment seat of Christ.  We are not to judge each other’s actions or mindsets for we cannot judge the hearts of men.  We are to seek unity where possible.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:

1 Offer an open hand of fellowship to welcome every true believer, even though their faith may be weak and immature. And refuse to engage in debates with them concerning nothing more than opinions.

Everyone has an opinion but there is only one standard of Truth and that comes by way of The Holy Spirit.

2 For example, one believer has no problem with eating all kinds of food, but another with weaker faith will eat only vegetables.

3 The one who eats freely shouldn’t judge and look down on the one who eats only vegetables. And the vegetarian must not judge and look down on the one who eats everything. Remember, God has welcomed him and taken him as His partner.

4 Who do you think you are to sit in judgment of someone else’s household servant? His own master is the one to evaluate whether he succeeds or fails. And God’s servants will succeed, for God’s power supports them and enables them to stand.

5 In the same way, one person regards a certain day as more Sacred than another, and another person regards them all alike. There is nothing wrong with having different personal convictions about such matters.

6 For the person who observes one day as especially Sacred does it to honor the Lord. And the same is true regarding what a person eats. The one who eats everything eats to honor the Lord, because he gives thanks to God, and the one who has a special diet does it to honor the Lord, and he also gives thanks to God.

7 No one lives to himself and no one dies to himself.

8 While we live, we must live for our Master, and in death we must bring honor to him. So dead or alive we belong to our Master.

As we are led by The Holy Spirit, we will not seek to judge others who are at varying degrees of Holiness and revelation in their walks.

9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment Seat (bēma) of Christ.

There will be no exceptions, all means all.

11 For it is written: “As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.”

All believers will come before the judgment Seat (bēma) of Christ and give account of their fruitfulness.  They will be rewarded based on their resulting fruit. 

The more mature we become in being led by The Holy Spirit, the less interested in accumulating possessions that will decay over time.  Instead, we will seek to find ways to serve THE LORD with what we have been given according to our individual talents.  We will be judged based only on our ability to server and not be compared to those who have greater talents or capabilities to serve.  Don’t compare yourself to others.

How Judgement May Play Out

Friday, October 11th, 2024

How will judgement play out in real time?

The nefarious actors are being led by the adversary in an attempt to bring forth a one-world government intended to enslave the masses.

Jesus warned of these end times in in Matthew chapter 24:

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “

5 For many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake.

10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Jesus gave no specifics that could only be understood in these last days.  There was no Internet 2,000 years ago.  Was FATHER aware of what these days would look like?  Of course.  For those who are unprepared, these will be scary times.  If you understand what might take place, if and when it occurs, you won’t be unprepared.  Jesus prophesied of such worldwide negative events so that we wouldn’t be caught as unsuspecting souls.

The following short video reveals only one of the many negative events that could take place at any time.

This is why it is critical that each of us be led by The Holy Spirit!
