  1. Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

  2. Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now enjoyed this message. What if you have your Bibles

  4. today turn over to Revelation chapter 22 Revelations chapter.

    Revelation 22 chapter mention

  5. 22. I was thinking back Wednesday

  6. night when I wasn't in service and I was you know, having some

  7. massive withdrawals Anybody have withdrawals like me on Wednesday

  8. night, you're like, man, I'm not in church.

  9. I'm like struggling right now. Now, you know that may sound

  10. silly but you know, I love to come together.

  11. I love it. I love and I understand that God

  12. didn't leave me, I didn't go to hell because of it, right?

  13. But at the end of the day, I love assembly, I love the

  14. command. The Lord said do not forsake the

  15. assembling of yourselves together and I love it and so,

  16. but I I said, you know, probably an 18 years, we've probably only

  17. not done to services at the end of the day only to so that's

  18. pretty good track record across the board.

  19. I mean, if every 18 years you only miss to, you know, your

  20. your your together then man, we're doing something right now

  21. is God in the assembly? Yes.

  22. Yes. He is.

  23. For anyone to think he's not, is a liar.

  24. He is in the assembly because he is the head of the church.

  25. Church, which are many members fitted and jointed together in

  26. the same location. Hallelujah.

  27. So he's definitely in the assembly and the anointing is

  28. greater in the assembly, than in your own personal life.

  29. Because he says, one can send a thousand to will send 10,000.

  30. So, there's Anna multiplying effect of anointing in numbers,

  31. so don't ever let the devil to deceive.

  32. A view that you by yourselves. Good enough.

  33. You by yourself is a sheep waiting to get eaten by a wolf

  34. as what you really are, and you think that you've got it

  35. together, but you need to come together because that's where

  36. safety is. Let me just say it this way.

  37. The father in this Parable, he will leave the 99.

  38. The shepherd will leave the 99 and go van.

  39. Think about this now, because we never preach this.

  40. What does the shepherd see in the 99 that he's willing to

  41. leavel? We always talk and focus on the

  42. one. I'll look how I came and ran the

  43. one down. Well, first of all, the one was

  44. lost. I mean, it's not like the one

  45. should be celebrated. Although we celebrate them once,

  46. he brings them, that's where the celebration happens.

  47. The celebration doesn't happen while they're lost the

  48. celebration happens. When he gets them back to the,

  49. the 99 and the 99 was able to be strong enough to say, go ahead

  50. and find them. We only want to preach about the

  51. one and not see the strengths in the 99 that the shepherd will

  52. leave. The 99, is there only one wolf?

  53. Are you want to hear this? I'm not going to preach it,

  54. though. I'll just stay off at now.

  55. I might start preaching it revelation. 22 verse 12.

    Revelation 22:12

  56. Jesus says this behold, I am coming quickly.

  57. Now his clinic in your quickly or two different quick leaves,

  58. but he is quickly coming. He said, behold, I am coming

  59. quickly and my what, my, what my, what?

  60. Come on, say it loud. My.

  61. What you get, louder, I'll preach shorter.

  62. My reward is with me to render to every man according to what

  63. he has done. This is a New Testament

  64. scripture that is in the Book of Revelation.

  65. The last chapter And he's coming to give an award reward to those

  66. that are doing something I said doing something, okay?

  67. So just being in the house isn't enough, we've got to be doing,

  68. how's business? All right, and he says I'm

  69. coming quickly. My reward is with me.

  70. So does Jesus have a reward to bring?

  71. Are you expecting your reward? Most people are Only expecting

  72. to just be in heaven when they die.

  73. They're not ready for a reward, nor they were expecting one.

  74. In fact, they would almost be considered arrogant or prideful

  75. to think. God would have a reward for

  76. them. They should just be thankful

  77. that they're not going to hell. Yet Jesus says I'm coming

  78. quickly and I have a reward with me to give to what how many men

  79. every man to render to every man.

  80. So as Believers we should have this for understanding, there's

  81. a reward to gain and it's not just Heaven, it's not just

  82. heaven. He has a reward so if he's

  83. bringing a reward, how does he know who gets what?

  84. Because he's going to render it to every man, how according,

  85. which means, it's not the same reward, so it can't be heaven.

  86. It can't be Heaven because is render to every man, according

  87. to what he has done and what have you done to earn Heaven.

  88. You not done anything to earn Heaven because by All rights,

  89. when you call on the name of Jesus and became a new child of

  90. God, a new creature in Christ. If you would have dropped dead,

  91. right? Then you're going to be present

  92. with the Lord and you've done nothing to earn heaven.

  93. So there's something else in this life that we're doing that

  94. God. Must be recording.

  95. In order to render a reward, you receive rewards because of

  96. something accomplished. Well, how many are doing the

  97. Bible reading plan? And aren't you excited?

  98. Because we're in the chronological, you get to go to

  99. the New Testament, finally, right?

  100. You get to get to the New Covenant, your life.

  101. Praise God. Luke we're in Luke.

  102. What that means? You just read malecha, which

  103. means you just read this in Malachi chapter 3.

    Malachi 3 chapter mention

  104. Look at this. How many you this kind of popped

  105. in? And I'm going to have Amplified

  106. classic cause that's the translation I'm reading this.

  107. Says, then those who fear the lord talked often to one another

  108. and the Lord, listened and heard it.

  109. And a book of now notice this is not the book of life.

  110. There's another book. I said there's another book.

  111. And a book of remembrance was written before him of those who

  112. reverenced and worship worshipfully fear the lord, and

  113. who thought on his name and it shall be.

  114. Mine says the Lord are scuse me and they shall be mine, says the

  115. Lord of hosts in that day when I publicly recognized and openly

  116. declare them to be my Jewels, my special possession, my peculiar

  117. Treasure. I will spare them as a man,

  118. spares his own son, who, what serves him?

  119. So there comes a day that this book of remembrance, is going to

  120. get opened. Now, Joe Psalms verse 56.

  121. Verse 8 says, this is says, you have taken account of my misery

  122. put my tears in your bottle, are they not in your book?

  123. Now crime doesn't get you to heaven.

  124. Even so crying and misery, does it put you in the Book of Life?

  125. The Lamb's Book of Life is not obtained or you're not written

  126. there because you cried out to God to, you know, remember all

  127. the troubles you've had down here.

  128. So this is obviously a different book yet when you go through

  129. various trials and tribulations, and you are fearful of the Lord

  130. and your call. On his name and any suffering

  131. you're doing for his sake, they're going to be recorded in

  132. a book of remembrance. There's nothing going on in your

  133. life. God is Not documenting.

  134. Now I said this a couple Services ago I don't remember

  135. which one whether it was a Wednesday or Sunday, but it's

  136. going to bear repeating at this point because not everybody was

  137. in there. I often has a, you know, a

  138. person who oversees individuals that there's this term

  139. especially in the business world that is considered very negative

  140. and very negative. And if you are in a position of

  141. oversight and you seem to be doing Are are overseeing the

  142. people in this capacity, you're considered - like, you don't

  143. have good leadership and that is a micro manager.

  144. Right people don't micromanage me like if you if you're an

  145. overseer that's micromanaging then by all rights.

  146. The the context is you don't trust them.

  147. You're not giving them their ability to lead and to flourish

  148. and allow their own gift to come out.

  149. Well, the problem is God is a micromanager And I'm going to

  150. show you that here in a second because even job new of a book

  151. job said in the 19th, Chapter, verse 23 and 25, he says, oh,

  152. that my words were written all that, they were recorded in a

  153. book that with an iron stylist, and, and led, they were engraved

  154. in the rock forever yet, as for me, I know that my redeemer

  155. lives, man. Even before Jesus came.

  156. They knew the Gamers coming. He said at last, he will take

  157. his stand on the earth. He knew man.

  158. If if how I am following and honoring, if they could just

  159. write it down, I mean this is Joe who's being accused of his

  160. best friends that he's got to have this gross sin in his life

  161. for all this bad stuff to be happening to him and they're

  162. just Railing at him constant. He's like man if only somebody

  163. could have Accorded, how I was living my life.

  164. Not like these guys say, But at the end of the day, I know my

  165. redeemer lives and that in essence, he's going to give an

  166. account. Of my life before others look

  167. what it says in Matthew chapter 12 Jesus says this himself.

    Matthew 12 chapter mention

  168. He says but I tell you that for every careless word that people

  169. speak, they will give an account of it when On the day of

  170. judgment. Now, some would say, wait a

  171. minute. Now we're not destined for

  172. judgment. Well, you are destined for the

  173. Judgment seat of Christ. You are destined for that.

  174. It's a reward ceremony. I said it's a reward ceremony

  175. and it's not you go to heaven ceremony?

  176. No, it's a book opening ceremony.

  177. It's a record of your life. Verse 37, for by you.

  178. Words, you will be what Justified and by your words you

  179. will be and we're talking about Believers.

  180. Now ultimately, we know this is the case with the great white

  181. Throne judgment and the very last days, right?

  182. That there's going to be judgment sent out to those

  183. who've never called on the name of the Lord.

  184. But Jesus himself, says, listen books are coming.

  185. Books are coming and you're going to give an account for

  186. every word, which tells us Jesus.

  187. Is Matt micromanaging. Everything about your life right

  188. now. How do we know this?

  189. Look at Hebrews chapter 4. Now, this should get you

    Hebrews 4 chapter mention

  190. excited. It shouldn't get you in pain or

  191. worried or upset. I mean unless you doing stuff in

  192. secret that you think since secret, which is just a lie,

  193. because look what it says here in Hebrews 4:12, he stopped in

    Hebrews 4:12

  194. verse 12. But there's a verse 13 says, for

  195. the word of God, is what living and active sharper than any

  196. two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of Soul and

  197. Spirit of both joints and Marrow.

  198. That's the threefold nature of man and able to judge the

  199. thoughts and intentions of the heart verse 13.

  200. And there is no creature hidden from his sight.

  201. But all things, how many things come on?

  202. How many things? All things are open and laid

  203. bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do meaning

  204. there's nothing going on in the planet that he's not seeing from

  205. a faith perspective. I'm like thank God that

  206. everything I'm doing for the Lord as not unnoticed.

  207. It's not like I'll Stand before God one day and say he'll save

  208. you know I Forgot you did that. See we understand God, forgets

  209. our sin. He throws it into the sea of

  210. forgetfulness. He removes our sin as far as the

  211. East is from the west, but he is recording everything.

  212. We're doing in faith, according to his word.

  213. He's recording it all. And I'm so excited because

  214. anything I'm doing when nobody else is watching.

  215. When no one gives me a thank you.

  216. Well, no, one even knows that I was intercede and stand and

  217. believe in going through the trial and tribulation because I

  218. came out not with a gloomy face but with a face of Joy, when I

  219. was going through the worst trial of my life but everybody

  220. thought I was having the greatest time of my life, he saw

  221. it all. I said he saw it all and wants

  222. so awesome. Is that his word is able to

  223. judge my And so when we make this statement but God knows my

  224. heart, you bet he does and he never gets it wrong.

  225. Now you can lie to somebody about your intentions, but

  226. you'll never ever lie to whom you going to have to deal with

  227. about your intentions. Ever because he knows the

  228. intentions of your heart. God is a recorder because he's

  229. coming quickly and he has a reward for you.

  230. Aren't you glad I'm telling you right now?

  231. If I realized at this very moment that everything I was

  232. doing was being recorded by God and if I could look at my life

  233. in Christ, I say man I don't know that I'm really living for

  234. real. I don't know that he's recording

  235. things. Good.

  236. I mean, maybe I'm not living as I should.

  237. Well, you know what? I could repent.

  238. Ask God to forgive me. Get that written off my books so

  239. that I could get something different on the books because I

  240. don't want God on that day. When he stands before me, and

  241. the fire comes, the Bible says, will be tested with fire.

  242. And when the fire comes, he said, if we've got any works,

  243. that are wood, hay, and stubble, they'll be burned up, which

  244. means I did it so that you could like me.

  245. And man, are we not living in a generation of wanting to get

  246. likes? So for every one, it says all I

  247. appreciate you. You're so awesome.

  248. I'm so thankful for you. There's nothing wrong with

  249. saying that and I'm not saying you shouldn't give people that,

  250. but if the intent of why I do it is so that I can hear that.

  251. Then the Lord is say you've got your reward on Earth.

  252. That's all you were trying to do get there like and did you get

  253. it? Did they tell you?

  254. They liked you did they tell you?

  255. They appreciated you. Did they tell you how awesome

  256. you were? You got it but it didn't

  257. transfer. I said it didn't see.

  258. We preach messages. You're not going to see.

  259. U-Haul going to the funeral. Well, you won't see a physical

  260. U-Haul, but there is a spiritual U-Haul.

  261. I said there is a spiritual U-Haul of what you're doing in

  262. Christ today by faith, according to his word and the intentions

  263. of your heart to glorify him. It will make it to your grave

  264. and out of your grave and out of judgment.

  265. You have cry where he'll pull out a book and say, look what

  266. came over from the natural. Not only did they see your

  267. effort and acknowledge your effort but it made it over into

  268. eternity and it's now been tried as gold and silver and it is

  269. still here in remains and I've got my reward and I'm giving you

  270. a reward as a result of what you did.

  271. Not only did you get it in the natural.

  272. Now some of us we receive the reward from the which is just

  273. receiving something from someone, some rewards can be -

  274. they can be persecuting us but all the while God Like I got

  275. silver and gold laid up for you. I have a Crown of Glory, a crown

  276. of righteousness for you because you withstood, they may not have

  277. acknowledged, but there are times, they will acknowledge.

  278. They will give Thanksgiving. They will tell you how much they

  279. appreciate. All that you did in obedience to

  280. God, although they didn't realize that's your heart motive

  281. and that you're not asking them to thank you.

  282. Although that effort as far as the world's concerned, some

  283. would be considered worthy of thanks but you've done it for a

  284. higher purpose and man he sees it.

  285. Now let me tell you, there are things in the Bible that we read

  286. and we think they're only a moment of time, but this is why

  287. I encourage us to read the Bible cover-to-cover Genesis 1:1 to

    Genesis 1:1

  288. Revelations, 22, 21, 20 to 21. The reason that is is because it

  289. gives context and God actually gives us a context.

  290. Of the book of remembrance. In a particular natural Kingdom

  291. that was on the earth and you read about it in the Book of

  292. Esther. Remember in the Book of Esther

  293. start in chapter 2 verse 23. It says this, then when the plot

  294. was investigated Mordecai, found out a couple guys wanted to kill

  295. the king who was Esther's husband, and when he found out

  296. about this, he reported it says. And when the plot was

  297. investigated and found it to be so that they were both hang on a

  298. wooden gallo. And it was what written in the

  299. book of Chronicles in the Kings present.

  300. So, the King was there And rode it out.

  301. It was in the page. Well, Mordecai was the guy who

  302. discovered it and reported it and saved the King's life from

  303. an attempted assassination. But the king didn't actually do

  304. anything about it at the time. All of a sudden Mordecai has an

  305. enemy show up that hates him cause he won't bow down at him.

  306. And so he's decided that he's gonna kill this guy now.

  307. What he doesn't know is not only is when he killed a guy and kill

  308. all of his, you know, nation of people the Jewish people, he is

  309. hit, the queen has found out about it.

  310. She's in prayer and fasting. She goes to the king when not

  311. called puts her own life on the line, for the nation, for an

  312. ancient. And because he extends a scepter

  313. and says come on, she throws a party for the Enemy.

  314. So, that the enemy of Mordecai. Her uncle could come with her

  315. husband, the king. Now, when he leaves that he's

  316. like, I'm the only one that she embodied.

  317. He's thinking, I got it, but he's so depressed.

  318. When he leaves that first party for and the invited to come the

  319. next day. Remember, is that because

  320. Mordecai won't bow down? So they're like your built.

  321. This Gallo in your backyard. Go ahead and tomorrow request of

  322. the king too. To kill Mordecai on the galleys.

  323. Like that's a great idea. I'm going to do it.

  324. Then I'll go to the party right? Because I'm the greatest guy

  325. ever. Well what does the Lord do?

  326. The Lord causes the king to not to be able to sleep.

  327. And we see in the sixth chapter of Esther verse 1.

  328. It says during that night, the king could not sleep.

  329. So he gave an order to bring the book of records the Chronicles

  330. and they read it before the king.

  331. And when they were reading it, when the king couldn't sleep, it

  332. came across a section in the book of remembrance.

  333. It says, there's a guy by the name Immortal cob and man, he

  334. found out that there was an assassination on you.

  335. We investigated it. It was so and we hung those guys

  336. and the King says, what did we do for Mordecai?

  337. What was his reward? And they're like King, you

  338. didn't do anything. He says, well this can't be, we

  339. must reward. He says, who's in the court.

  340. Oh Heyman has showed up. Now, Heyman has showed up to

  341. talk to the king and say I want you to give me more to kind

  342. killing, but the King was so Sly.

  343. And Haman was so prideful that it just met together and sew and

  344. haman's pride and in the Kings real concern to reward.

  345. Someone he says, what shall be done to the man who has honored

  346. the king and what it Heyman think?

  347. Is Honore more than me, which we know that's a lie.

  348. Because he's not honored the king at all.

  349. In fact, his asking of what would be done, reveals the heart

  350. of Haman because he's like, get a robe.

  351. That was on the king, get a donkey that the King has wrote

  352. in essence, he saying, let that person out like, they're you,

  353. that's haman's heart. I wish I was King.

  354. I'll in fact, if Heyman would have kept a sending in power,

  355. Make no mistake about it. The Book of Esther would have

  356. read this and Heyman, says, assassinated the king and took

  357. the throne. But the king said, this is a

  358. great idea. Mordecai is the guy I want to

  359. do. You're going to parade him

  360. through the street and say these things.

  361. And what does that tell us? It tells us it's New Testament

  362. that the weapon formed against the church won't Prosper.

  363. That God will take what the devil meant for bad and turn it

  364. for good. Are you hearing me?

  365. Because God will remember all that you have done my mama.

  366. See Daniel says it this way, he said a river of fire was flowing

  367. and coming out from before him. Daniel Seven, Ten thousands upon

  368. thousands worse, Having him and a myriad upon married were

  369. standing before him and the court convened and the books

  370. were opened. Look what it says in

  371. Revelations, 20. Now we know this way the end it

  372. says this and I saw the dead and that's a great white Throne

  373. judgment the Great and the small standing Before the Throne and

  374. the books were opened. So there are some books guys not

  375. only is there a book of remembrance but there's also the

  376. next one which says and another book was opened which is The

  377. Book of Life. So we have to name Ames.

  378. We have the book of life, we have a book of remembrance but

  379. then there's other books. Now, those books are the records

  380. of every wrong done to the kingdom.

  381. That if the blood of Jesus, If that name has not been

  382. transferred into the book of life, then all of those books

  383. are legal binding charges of which a righteous judge will

  384. sentence. Those created beings humans into

  385. Eternal damnation forever and it be rightly judged. and it says

  386. in the dead were judged from the things which were written in the

  387. books according Today, their deeds, we live in a time where

  388. God wants to reward us and he's coming to give us a reward

  389. because there's a book of remembrance everything you're

  390. doing right now. God's writing it down,

  391. everything you're doing, God knows whether you're in his will

  392. or not. Let's look at this.

  393. God wants to reward you according to your Works in

  394. Christ. Meaning your faith in doing

  395. God's will for your life now that you're a child of God.

  396. Romans Chapter 2 Verse 6 says, who will render to each person?

    Romans 2:6

  397. Notice, you're not going to get skipped.

  398. Nobody in this room. Nobody on planet.

  399. Earth is getting skipped. Each person is going to be

  400. rendered a reward according to his deeds, every one of us, look

  401. what it says in Proverbs 2412 again a little insight on how

  402. God is able to reward you through his book of remembrance.

  403. If you say see, we do not know this, does he not consider Do

  404. it, who weighs the heart. One translation says this says,

  405. look, we didn't know about dressing and Essence.

  406. We're trying to play ignorant like I didn't know, well sambo,

  407. I mean II didn't know, I had to do that, look what he goes on.

  408. And says, does he not consider who weighs the heart?

  409. He knows whether you just can't go to God and play ignorant.

  410. And does he not know and does he not know it who keeps your soul?

  411. And he will not rent and will he not render to each man?

  412. According to his work meaning that day we stand he'll know you

  413. inside and out he will have documentation.

  414. Of it all. Now, this is good for the

  415. righteous when our hearts are pure and our minds are pure and

  416. we just want to seek God with all the heart.

  417. I'm like, wow there's a reward. I mean I will not be cheated out

  418. of my reward. There will not be an injustice,

  419. that will not come to Justice. My gosh, my king is so great,

  420. but it also tells me don't think you're going to dupe the king.

  421. Oh, don't think that he This stuff down here, don't really

  422. matter. All that matters is that you

  423. asked Jesus to come into your heart, so that when you die, you

  424. go to heaven, that's all that matters.

  425. No, that ain't all that matters. No, in essence, what you do is

  426. you deprive your king, the pleasure.

  427. Why would we as kids? And we have we been around our

  428. own children and you want to reward them and they deprive you

  429. the pleasure. When they disobey you're like,

  430. well I can't reward your disobedience.

  431. I'm the one that's not keeping you from this event, or from

  432. having this or doing that. Look what you did, you've

  433. deprived me the pleasure. And let me tell you you training

  434. your kids wrong, if you reward them for their disobedience.

  435. Because the Lord is not going to do that.

  436. The Lord is rewarding us for our obedience to his word and

  437. keeping it by faith. So he's going to judge us.

  438. Look what it says here in Jeremiah 1710.

  439. This is the Amplified classic. It says this, the Lord search.

  440. He said I the Lord search the mind.

  441. I try the heart even to give to every man, according to his ways

  442. according to the fruit of his doing.

  443. I mean this is what I love about my king so much.

  444. That's what I love about my savior.

  445. Jesus is that This the king, the righteous one and the spirit of

  446. God, that's within me and moves around, on the planet is going

  447. into my innermost being my heart, my thinking, my soul

  448. round and is judging every part of my motive, why I do what I do

  449. when I do what I do for what purpose that I do it.

  450. And when they say, man, they're doing it for me.

  451. They're writing it down and they're like not only will they

  452. reap a benefit now because our faith can pull things in today

  453. and we can walk in the blessings of God now, but it also will

  454. then carry over Into eternity to wear.

  455. When the king comes and begins to hand out rewards.

  456. He says because you did it this way while you were here

  457. naturally. Separated from me, where we

  458. didn't look at each other face-to-face.

  459. But by my spirit, you did my bidding, you obeyed my word,

  460. here's your reward. Make no mistake about it.

  461. God is not a respecter of person.

  462. What that means is is God, doesn't respect.

  463. One of us more than the other but he will reward us

  464. differently. Everyone of us has the ability

  465. to believe God to live righteous to live, holy to live Sanctified

  466. to live with a pure motive to live selflessly to live in the

  467. love of God to believe God, nobody can hinder that But if

  468. you're not doing that, make no mistake, the rewards will not be

  469. the same. On that day, when he publicly

  470. announces us and declares that we are his special ones.

  471. What we've done here, are either going to burn up and be gone

  472. because that's all we got. Or we're going to have something

  473. that carries over into eternity, where the crown of

  474. righteousness, Crown of Glory, things are fashion for us,

  475. because we are the King of Kings.

  476. We are a king of the king. We will cast our crowns before

  477. the Lord. But just because you cast your

  478. crowned up me, he collects it, you never get to wear it.

  479. We acknowledge that. Yes, you're the great king.

  480. I mean at the end of the day, you're the ruler of everything

  481. but he's also says that's right. And I calls you to rule and for

  482. you to Reign and I'm the king of kings.

  483. So when you cast a crown before the Lord, it's not because

  484. you're releasing your kingship. Are you hearing me?

  485. The last scripture today is Psalm 62 12.

  486. I hope I'm encouraging to today that man, we have a God that

  487. doesn't forget a God. That remembers what I'm saying

  488. is, is you should never take the thought, you know, living for

  489. God. What's the big deal?

  490. It's a big deal. You know, how many people right

  491. now, naturally, or putting money away and 401, K's in some type

  492. of retirement? They're doing why?

  493. Cuz when they finally quit working, they can retire.

  494. And receive a reward, they put it into stocks, they do

  495. Investments for what a reward so that they have more than what

  496. they currently have. So they have a sustainable, not

  497. just sustainable but a better life In fact, we act like people

  498. are foolish if they're not thinking about their retirement

  499. yet. Many Believers have no context

  500. of the book of remembrance They all think through wishful

  501. thinking and fantasy that all of a sudden we're going to be out

  502. of our bodies be up in heaven. We're all going to have the

  503. exact same house like God is going to have cooker Cuddy, cut

  504. her homes. Like some of these neighborhoods

  505. we going to, you know, I'm saying, one style.

  506. They just kind of move the windows around.

  507. Right. There's only about three models

  508. and because God is not a respecter of person, he's gonna

  509. have one model where I and we're all going to be satisfied with

  510. this. He's too creative to have the

  511. same thing. It's just not going to happen.

  512. No. He's going to reward us

  513. according to our faithfulness. Because we love him so much and

  514. because we, he's like you listen.

  515. The king is like you can't out, give me, you cannot do it.

  516. I mean, the more you continue to lay down your life to do, my

  517. will for your life, in this natural now, man.

  518. It has great dividends. In the life to come and guys we

  519. still have to go through a millennial reign of Christ here.

  520. How does God determine who judges the cities?

  521. What is preordained? It can be preordained by the

  522. fact of, he knows who's going to do the work necessary to get the

  523. assignment. Not because whether you did it

  524. work, or not, it doesn't matter. You're going.

  525. See people take predestination as if I don't have time, I

  526. didn't do nothing. I mean, I laid around.

  527. I was lazy. I just, you know, set around.

  528. I asked you to come to my heart when I was just a little kid,

  529. but I never lived for my live for the world, you know?

  530. But I lied, I went to heaven and he gave me 15 cities, you cannot

  531. find that scripture that It's not true.

  532. Grace. Empowered us to live a life of

  533. Faith. So strong.

  534. In fact, when faith is in operation, it activates the

  535. grace in our life so that we can do the assignment God has for

  536. us. And then God rewards us.

  537. I mean, listen, I agree. If heaven was all, we got,

  538. that'd be pretty awesome but it's not.

  539. I mean, it's like God is let me try to get me to get you to

  540. understand like one of those commercials but there's more As

  541. if this dealing good enough but there's more and if you actually

  542. read the Bible you realize but there's more.

  543. Because how do you out give a giving God?

  544. I mean we're at like God sitting upon his throne and kind of has

  545. this attitude you just ought to be glad I gave you my blood.

  546. Because that's how we all treat our own kids we'll just be

  547. thankful. We got a roof over your head.

  548. just be thankful because you have a roof over your head, you

  549. should be thankful because you have a roof, but there's more

  550. Because there's food on the table, but there's more, there's

  551. clothes for you but there's more if you fall I'll pick you up but

  552. there's more I'll have trained you but there's more I'm gonna

  553. help invest in your next life and where you're going and what

  554. you're doing, I mean there's more.

  555. I mean seriously, it's not just because they have a roof over

  556. their head. And do you think you can outgive

  557. God? And all of a sudden, now, it's

  558. prideful for your kids to expect that you would help them.

  559. I mean, most of you is parents be like, son, why didn't you

  560. call me when you fail or whatever?

  561. Why don't you ask? Well, you just gave us a roof

  562. over our head. That's good enough.

  563. You be like you better shut up and get up in this house.

  564. And let me teach y'all something because I mean, it's more than

  565. just a house people. That's how you act in your

  566. natural. How much more our heavenly

  567. father Psalm 62, 12 says, also To You.

  568. O, Lord, belonging mercy and loving-kindness for you render

  569. to every man according to his work.

  570. I'm so glad that he's merciful that he has loving kindness,

  571. that he is taking time, he has in his Heaven realm, those, not

  572. himself, but those who are ever right?

  573. Trevor and he's got your name. Trevor stand up to everybody

  574. knows who I'm talking about the way.

  575. I'm not talking behind his back. I'm talking to his face Trevor.

  576. This is how he treated his wife and why he did that.

  577. This is how he treated his coworker and why he did that.

  578. This is how he gave in the offering.

  579. This is how he's recording at all.

  580. Everything every bit of it, Trevor.

  581. Was so full of the flesh this day.

  582. But he didn't yield instead, he crucified it.

  583. There's a reward for that. Not an action.

  584. Nothing. Do I believe that he said,

  585. Trevor was full of the Flesh and acted on it today, but then all

  586. of a sudden when we got up there you can't find that one.

  587. Why? Because Trevor repented the next

  588. day or five hours later and the blood came in and wrote that one

  589. out. Come on.

  590. Are you hearing me? But there are those, you know

  591. again he did it for his own, Merit did it for his own.

  592. Merit did it for his own Merit. When the fire comes, it burns

  593. up. I'm just using one, I could pick

  594. out anybody's name right here. Your name.

  595. You have a book. Every person.

  596. Ever Birth has a book. It's an autobiography.

  597. And you're not writing it angels are riding on your behalf in

  598. heaven. God before you ever came into

  599. your mother's womb, the psalmist says before.

  600. It one day of my life, was you already wrote out all the days

  601. of my life. He has a printed copy of what

  602. your life should be. But the angels are recording

  603. your life. As it is, And God is going to

  604. match those books up. Then he'll pull out the book of

  605. remembrance that in, it's going to even have tears in a bottle

  606. of your troubles and trials. And when you cried out to God

  607. and stayed in faith and believed him to vindicate you and you

  608. didn't defend yourself. You said.

  609. Vengeance is mine. Thus saith the Lord.

  610. I will repay. I'm not going to defend myself.

  611. That doesn't mean they're in times.

  612. You have to say things. Paul said, well if we don't

  613. boast In the Flesh, I'm gonna go ahead and go there.

  614. I mean, if that's what you're looking for, if you want a job

  615. description of how much I've laid out, I've laid out way more

  616. than half the people you trying to call apostles I mean if you

  617. want to go there, I'll give you my resume.

  618. I've been in Trials, more often. I've been Shipwrecked left for

  619. dead. I've done more than all these

  620. people that you putting on a pedestal and honoring because

  621. only reason, they're not correcting you and I am.

  622. I mean that really just summarizes his whole

  623. description. I only have to do this because I

  624. actually love you and correct you they come and tell you stuff

  625. that make you feel good in order to get a following.

  626. So, if we want to compare lives, what if they actually done?

  627. But most of the time it is. I'm not talking about it.

  628. God will vindicate me? He'll do it.

  629. I'll leave room for the Lord to show.

  630. Mike it. Why?

  631. Because he's recording it anyway.

  632. And don't think anyone who's back biting you who's running

  633. off at behind your back, talking about you and saying things

  634. about you and you find out that someone so is saying so on.

  635. So that all of a sudden, you don't need it.

  636. God's got it written down. And they'll come a time that if

  637. the blood is not there, it is show up because he's righteous

  638. and he's just and he'll know. Well So April found out that

  639. these girls in the youth ministry are talking about her

  640. all the time and instead of correcting them she just let it

  641. go and began to pray and intercede for them.

  642. I remember that you're going to get a reward.

  643. What a great God we have. And guess what?

  644. This reward that he's bringing moss.

  645. Cannot eat, Russ cannot destroy. Thieves cannot steal.

  646. No, it can't be at loss. It is guaranteed.

  647. Is it worth living for God? Sacrificing for God, putting

  648. down your flesh for God? Walking In Love for God, is it

  649. worth walking in love with a brother?

  650. Is it worth doing? Are you bet it is?

  651. Cuz the king is coming. He's coming quickly and he has a

  652. reward for you. because when he opens up the book of life, he

  653. says Simon You're in. Now let's find out what you've

  654. done and pull out the book of remembrance.

  655. Let's bring your reward. Oh what a day that would be now,

  656. you know how we all going to be? He's going to give us all those

  657. rewards are going to be like Lord.

  658. You can keep them but Lord's like I can but I'm giving them

  659. to you. I'm giving them to you.

  660. How do we know this is true? Again?

  661. Documented history, the Queen of Sheba came with more gifts than

  662. King Solomon ever had in his life blew him.

  663. Oh, I mean, just more stuff than he had ever received from anyone

  664. else, but she's blown away at his kingdom realm.

  665. And he gave her more than she brought him when she left

  666. because you cannot out give the king.
