The Great White Throne Judgement

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.
I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by what was written in the books.
Then the sea gave up it's dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; all were judged according to their works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15

There are some who think that the Christian is a part of the 'first resurrection' that mentioned in Chapter 20:5. This therefore means that all the Christians rule and reign with Christ as the second resurrection deal with the judgement at the great white throne.

As a Christian I know that my sins have been washed away and as I walk in faith of that fact I am constantly redeemed. Therefore there is no sin to judge. However for those who reject Christ, all will have to stand before the great white throne and face the truth of what they did with the knowledge of Christ.

I do know that my deeds will go through the fire and any that remain will be rewarded. This is where many Christians will be surprised. Many will say" Lord! lord! We cast out demons in your name and He will say : ' begone from me for I never knew you!"(Matthew 7:22) Ouch! There will be those who Christ rewards according to the scripture: "when I was in prison, you visited me, when I was in need you comforted me" and they will say but when Lord did we see you in prison and visit you and He will say: "what you did to the least of these you did to me!"  (Matthew 25:36)

God only knows what is in the heart of man and it is according to what He sees we will be judged. Did we pretend to honour him but our heart was far from Him? He knows and that fact will be the decider as to where we end up for all eternity.

It is important that we walk circumspectly before our God. We need to face 'us' and know repentance. We need to embrace truth and allow Him to be God. We cannot have a canned version of God. He must be let loose. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
