Judgement Has Begun in the Household of God

Back to Sermons WOR

The morning and the evening messages taken together encompassed five major areas of redemption: shaking; suffering; the Day of Redemption; attaining to the resurrection of the body, and the thought of salvation coming at the end of our discipleship. These indeed are important topics and we are just now becoming aware of them, it appears.

(12/11/2005) It seems to me that the shaking mentioned in the Book of Hebrews has begun. All that has been created by God and man will be shaken. Only that which has been wrought in the Lord Jesus Christ will endure to eternity.

The shaking manifests itself as we are brought into various kinds of suffering, frustration, and perplexity. Such suffering is absolutely necessary if we are to come to know the Lord. Every thing, every circumstance, every relationship must be brought down to death in Christ. Only that which is of Kingdom worth shall be raised in Christ and endure to eternity.

You will never come to know the Lord until He has waged war against his enemies in your personality. After you are filled with the Spirit there must come a period of battle. Do not give up. Maintain your trust in the Lord. He shall bring you through to victory when your warfare has been accomplished.

If we have received the atonement by faith and have been filled with the Spirit of God, we have been sealed to the Day of Redemption. The Day of Redemption is the period of time, which will come at the end of the age, when all that we have forfeited to Satan shall be restored to us. We have been chosen to be in the image of God. God will not rest until we are completely in His image and likeness!

Adam had a pure nature. We have a personality that contains elements of Satan. God has the power and shall, according to the both Testaments, remove from us the elements of Satan until our nature once again is pure.

In addition, Christ is being formed in us. We are learning strict obedience to the Father. So as part of our redemption we will receive a pure nature. On this new nature will be written the eternal moral law of God. Finally we will be filled with all the Fullness of God and our body will be transformed until it is like the body of Christ.

These are sovereign works of God, set forth in the immutable Scriptures. However, they will not become our inheritance unless we begin today to cooperate with the Holy Spirit as He brings us to those part of our personality that are not in the image of God. When these are pointed out to us we must confess, denounce, renounce them specifically, rejecting and turning away from them with all the grace the Lord gives to us. What a day we a entering!

The thought that salvation comes at the end of our discipleship may be new to us. Yet, we know Jesus said, "He who endure to the end shall be saved"!

We have to contend for our inheritance. We shall pass through fiery trials. These are judgment on the parts of our personality that are not found in God. It is difficult for the righteous person to be saved because of the diligence and determination necessary to walk with God through the cleansing of our personality and the bringing forth of the new creation.

Does salvation indeed come at the end of our discipleship and is a product of our discipleship? Paul said so, speaking of the redemption of our body, our adoption as a son of God. Paul also spoke of the coming Day of Redemption, and of the fact that our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Paul mentioned that we save ourselves and those who hear us by taking heed to ourselves and continuing in the doctrine, and women are saved "through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety."

Peter said we are shielded by the power of God until the coming of the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

The writer of the Book of Hebrews maintains that to those who are waiting for Jesus "He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation."

Matthew tells us of the removal of sin from the Kingdom of God that will take place at the end of the age.

When we review these scriptural statements we realize that the current Evangelical lawless-grace-rapture-Heaven preaching is foreign to the Bible. It is "another gospel." Yet, it is no gospel at all when we teach that the "born again" (not understanding what it means to be born again) believers will be carried up to Heaven to the supposed marriage of the Lamb while the majority of mankind are experiencing every torment?

This is the redemption of the creation of which Paul spoke? This is God’s love for the world?

No, current Evangelical teaching is a monstrous deception and will bring persecution on us when non-Christian people awaken to the fact that we are condemning them to a blood bath while we ourselves look down complacently from the balconies of Heaven. The current doctrine is anti-Semitic and anti-mankind.

He who has ears to hear the Spirit of God will come away with the Lord while He enters into marriage with them, helping them cleanse their garments from the filthiness of the flesh and spirit.

Are you one of those who are hearing the Spirit of God today? If so, do not return to the rest of the "Christians." Let them return to you. They may fight against you, but God will make you a reinforced bronze wall. In the end you will be where Jesus always is, in the centre of God’s Person and will.

But the religious Christians who do not know the Lord will be burned with fire, being part of Babylon the Great.
