        ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB

                                                                        DEFINING JUDGEMENT

                                      
                                                                                                                    [PART 1]

     
                                                                                             TWO MESSAGES OF JUDGEMENT
        
                                
Words of prophecy:



*       My judgement is not on people in themselves, but on sin. For I love the people, and it is indeed My Will that not one soul should perish. But make no mistake about it I hate [despise] wilful sin and rebellion - for they have their very nature and origin in Satan, himself!

*       There are "many" who do not believe that you are walking in love towards them at this time, and there will be those things that will happen in the coming days and weeks that will cause them to believe that they were right all along; but truly I say to you, all of their words and actions against you shall be shown to be foolish and empty (devoid of love and life) and My judgement shall abide upon them in "all" of their paths - so that all may clearly see the folly of their ways. For I - and I alone - am your vindication.

*       As I look out upon the congregations, I see the place where each one who has departed from My will chose the favour of men and "honour" which the world bestows - above My favour and honour. Therefore, My judgements are upon them, and as I send My messengers forth, the anointing, that is upon them and within them [holy fire], will both expose and shatter any illusions of false security found in the hearts of My people - and truly I say to you, I shall not relent until all that I desire is accomplished in the midst of My people.  Therefore, brace yourselves!  And resting in My love, go forth in obedience, measuring each step in the fullness [absoluteness] of My Word; for many great signs and wonders shall follow you in "all" that you say and do.


        ...."Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                             1 Peter 4:12-17 NASB

 
          Let it be clearly understood that there are two messages of judgement to the church in this most critical hour - one to those abiding in righteousness and one to those who are NOT. For those who are worshipping in spirit and truth - and seeking to walk in perfect obedience in ALL that they say and do - the judgement of God will bring with it GREAT reward and "blessing" [continued empowerment for the fulfillment of their destiny and Kingdom-service right to the end of the age]. For those who have wilfully held to the self-serving and self-exaltive practices that have opened the door to much darkness in the church at large there will be a total exposure of that which they have sown to - and, if a deep and thorough repentance is not immediately forthcoming on their part, THEN, they will be removed [by God, Himself] from any position of influence over those who are truly seeking God and the fullness of His holy purposes.

                                                                                   CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!
 
          Now is time for each individual believer to decide [if they have not already done so] whether they are going to go on into the "fullness" of their inheritance in Christ or remain in bondage to an element of self-desire [self-will] - and the self-agenda that is its spontaneous fruit. Those who continue to "forsake" the will of God in order to follow after their own rebellious ways - and who, thus, will be found reviling the true delegated authorities and blaspheming the glory of God [blasphemo doxa] - shall be severely and thoroughly judged in this most critical hour - without exception. There are many when they hear words such as these who say, "Well, God is not like that"! But because they have no knowledge [are unconscious] of their own sinful and rebellious ways [through a lack of "direct contact" with the One they "claim" to serve] they do not realize that by their continued "self-effort" - in the power and the mind of the flesh - that, in reality, they have trampled underfoot the Son of God and have regarded as unclean the Blood of the Covenant - and, thus, they have both neglected and insulted the Spirit of Grace [the Holy Spirit]!
 
EVERY CHILD OF GOD MUST COME TO A DEEP REALIZATION OF THE FACT THAT THE "FULNESS OF TIME" IS UPON US PERTAINING TO THE ABSOLUTE JUDGEMENTS OF THE FATHER
 
          The Father has no hatred for mankind [for He sent His only begotten Son [the Word of God] in order that not one soul should "have to" perish] [John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:9] and, so, He does not judge mankind in themselves apart from sin and rebellion. It is the sinfulness and rebelliousness that are inherent in the old nature [by way of the first Adam] that He has a controversy with. It MUST be clearly understood that it is ONLY as one guards their heart with ALL diligence - continually reaching out to receive the fullness of the provision that the Father has blessed them with, in Christ, that they can escape the clutches [ungodly influence] of the sin and rebellion that shall surely be consumed in these days by holy fire - regardless of where it is found in the church! In ALL judgement - whether it be the church or the world - the accountability is not with God, for He has clearly stated [provided], through His Word [Jesus], the way to experience salvation [deliverance] from the "certain, terrifying expectation of judgement" and the "fury of the fire which will consume the adversaries". Let every last child of God who truly loves Him come to gain a deep revelation of the "absolute judgements" that are now coming upon the church - for indeed it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of a holy God in a state of rebellion [unholiness]! In faithfulness and obedience let us experience the deep and true assurance that as we remain in intimate fellowship with the Father and His Word [pursuing holiness from the position of a heart "wholly" given] - any sin [or adherence to a sin-consiousness {unworthiness-consciousness; unrighteousness-consciousness}] will be exposed and quickly repented of - thus, opening the door for the precious and All-powerful Blood of Jesus to cleanse [protect] us continually from ALL unrighteousness.

        ...."If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                         1 John 1:9 The Amplified Translation

        ...."For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God"....
