Election Fraud is at hand!

Thursday, October 24th, 2024

Isaiah 28:17 NASB
“I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail (Divine Judgment) will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the secret place.

What is an algorithm?

An algorithm is a procedure used for solving a problem or performing a computation. Algorithms act as an exact list of instructions that conduct specified actions step by step in either hardware- or software-based routines.

Who creates the algorithm?  The programmer assigned to the task of producing the desired result.  Does the algorithm produce a “truthful” result?  Not necessarily.  The programmer has full control over what result is produced. 

Are algorithms bullet proof?  No, the programmer’s intent might not be fully reflected in the result.  This situation is classically referred to as a “program bug”.  However, if the programmer intentionally covers up logic to keep the end user from discovering his nefarious activity, the “lie” may be hidden for a lengthy period of time.  This is why independent audits are meant to keep everyone honest.

Can Artificial Intelligence be fully trusted?  No, for the very same reasons mentioned above.

Am I qualified to make the above assessment?  I was trained by IBM in computer programming beginning in 1974.  I studied advanced mathematics.  I helped conduct bank audits.  I successfully hacked an ATM in 1976 as instructed by the bank I worked at.  I was also employed by IBM as a System Engineer where I received additional training in hardware, software, and communications protocols.    I have written over one million lines of code since 1985 and supported the use of that software for 38 years. With that background, I appear to be qualified.

After reviewing the facts of the 2020 election, I was convinced that nefarious actors influenced the result.  Frankly, it wasn’t that difficult if you understood their methodology. 

The following interview is vital to our understanding of what is a stake for the future of America:

It’s About Percentages

Thursday, October 24th, 2024

You will be judged according to your unique gifts and callings!

Do not compare yourself to others.  In the end, it is about what percentage of your calling produced righteous results.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 25:

14 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a Man traveling to a far country, Who called His own servants and delivered His goods to them.

15 And to one He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.

16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.

18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his Lord’s money.

19 After a long time the Lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, You delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’

21 His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’

22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, You delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’

23 His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’

Both servants received the same level of reward and appreciation because both increased the Kingdom by the same percentage- 100%.

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew You to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’

26 “But his Lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

27 So you ought to have deposited My money with the bankers, and at My coming I would have received back My own with interest.

28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

What will be the final judgement of the wicked and lazy servant?

30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Sadly, there will be those who talk the talk of being a believer but they have nothing to show for their life.  They did nothing for the Kingdom.  They leave all the work for those who are perceived as having greater talents and callings.  They made the mistake of thinking that they had nothing to contribute themselves.

Every believer is expected to serve on behalf of The Kingdom of GOD, no exceptions.  Everyone has some level of ability to produce, and it is according to his own level of ability, not to be compared to others.

This parable focuses on financial stewardship.  Each of us is to steward at our own level of finances.  Jesus was more impressed by the widow contributing two mites than those who had greater resources.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 12:

41 Then Jesus sat down near the offering box, watching all the people dropping in their coins. Many of the rich would put in very large sums,

42 but a destitute widow walked up and dropped in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny.

43 Jesus called His disciples to gather around and then said to them, “I tell you the Truth, this poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy.

44 For the rich only gave out of their surplus, but she sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on, which was everything she had.”

At Servias, we appreciate every contribution no matter what the amount.  THE LORD will reward you according to your own circumstances for He looks at your intent rather than the amount.

Feast Of Tabernacles Explained

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024

Today is the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacle is the “End-Feast” – And so it contains the mysteries of the end times and a special prophetic revelation for Israel, the Church, and the World.

Jonathan Cahn is a Messianic Jewish Minister. Who better to explain this vital feast:

Nothing Is Hidden

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024

Nothing is hidden from Our Heavenly Father!

The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has perfect knowledge of every aspect of our life, both internal and external, past, present, and future.

King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 139:

1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.

5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your Hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.

It is incomprehensible for me to understand the fullness of the above revelation.  We try to assign our limited comprehension to the Supernatural and it is simply soulish to do so.  It is absurd, futile, and nonsense to even hide any aspect of my life from FATHER.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your Presence?

8 If I ascend into Heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your Hand shall lead me, And Your Right Hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;

12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your Eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

FATHER is the ONE WHO formed us in the womb thus HE knows every aspect of our physiology.  HE is able to repair, restore, and create anew everything in our body.  Jesus did many and mighty miracles to attest to this reality.

Who else is qualified to judge us but FATHER, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit?  No one else knows the entirety of our lives.

Jesus warned us about judging in Matthew chapter 7:

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Resist the temptation to judge others.  Keep silent unless The Holy Spirit gives you a specific Word to speak.  He knows the intent of the person before you.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit what he saw and heard in Revelation chapter 20:

11 Then I saw a great, dazzling-white Throne and the One who sits on it. Heaven and earth fled from His Presence and they were no more.

12 I saw the dead, the lowly and the famous alike, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and then another book was opened: the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what they had done as recorded in the books.

13 And the sea gave up the dead souls that were in it. Then death and the underworld gave up their dead, and all were judged according to what they had done.

14 Then death and the realm of the dead were cast into the lake of fire, for the lake of fire is the second death.

15 And anyone whose name was not recorded in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Though we cannot comprehend the magnitude of FATHER’S judgment of all mankind, let us focus on what we can comprehend: Be Holy as HE is Holy and repent of any and all sin.  Do the commands of Jesus and walk in humility.  In the end, you will receive your reward for nothing is hidden or overlooked by FATHER!

The Progression Of Corrupted Logic

Monday, October 21st, 2024

Don’t walk in or promote corrupted logic!

Much of the population are enamored with technology in its various forms.  Technology is meant to simply be a tool to promote productivity, nothing else.  It is meant to increase our efficiency and effectiveness.  However, more and more people are becoming slaves to technology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest corrupted progression of technology.  The word artificial means made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.  You could expand this definition by adding “as a copy of something supernatural” and that would allow you to see the nefarious end result. 

One goal of AI is to replace human labor.  What will be the result?  Unemployment of the various jobs filled by human workers.  How will the unemployed generate income?  They won’t be able to do so.

Another goal of AI is to replace human thought.  A child’s creativity remains undeveloped as the child can simply get answers from “Alexis” or other AI sources.

The most important goal of AI is to replace the reliance of mankind to be led by The Holy Spirit.  This is the end goal of those who are promoting AI.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

17 So with the Wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions.

18 Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the true knowledge of God.

19 Because of spiritual apathy, they surrender their lives to lewdness, impurity, and sexual obsession.

20 But this is not the way of life that Christ has unfolded within you.

21 If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard His Truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!

22 And He has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self-life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions.

Parents are promoting technology by giving their kids smartphones to keep them entertained and distracted from the real world.  Many kids prefer virtual play time rather than going outside to play with others and develop social skills.  Their logic is being corrupted by the developers of their games.  They become addicted to technology.

Drivers are being distracted by their smartphones rather than focusing on traffic.  I have used my car horn more in recent years simply because drivers are not paying attention to the traffic light.

As AI continues to develop, it will enable those in power to employ full control over the masses.  AI will determine where you can go, what you can do, and what you can say.  China has already begun implementing AI and assigning a “social score” to its citizens.  A low social score will enforce restrictions on the masses.

AI cannot predict the future, nor can it compete with The Holy Spirit.

Paul continues:

23 Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you.

24 And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new Life and live in union with Him! For God has re-created you all over again in His perfect righteousness, and you now belong to Him in the realm of true Holiness.

25 So discard every form of dishonesty and lying so that you will be known as one who always speaks the Truth, for we all belong to one another.

AI is dishonest and it reflects its human developers who are devoid of the Absolute Truth.  AI cannot accurately predict the future since FATHER will not allow man to know the future in its entirety.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Who do you trust to direct your life, AI or The Holy Spirit?  The answer is obvious.

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.
