GIVE ACCOUNT

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

“SO THEN EVERY ONE OF US SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD.” RO. 14/12……… (“account”, “logos”, “to speak intelligently, word as the expression of that intelligence, discourse, saying, word as uttered by the living voice, a speaking, speech, utterance, discourse, conversation. Metonymically, the power of speech, delivery, oratory, eloquence:” Zodhiates Word Study New Testament.)

“FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST; THAT EVERY ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN HIS BODY, ACCORDING TO THAT HE HATH DONE, WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR BAD.” 2 COR. 5/10.

It astonishes me that so much leadership in the Pentecostal church cannot handle, cannot receive, reject Loving Father`s Word, Truth, “it is written”, (Heb. 12/20), dispensed to them by one sinner saved by His Grace,... knowing that they will have to “appear before the judgment seat of Christ”…. AND DELUDE THEMSELVES INTO THINKING THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE!!!..............

IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE HIS WORD, HIS TRUTH DELIVERED TO YOU BY HIS OBEDIENT SERVANTS NOW!.......HOW DO YOU EVER THINK THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO APPEAR TRANSPARENT, UNASHAMED BEFORE HIM ON THAT DAY?????????????????...................................................

IF YOU RUN AND HIDE FROM ONE SINNER SAVED BY GRACE NOW,……. HOW MUCH MORE ARE YOU GOING TO RUN FROM HIM, AND BE ASHAMED WHEN HE COMES???????????? REV. 6/16..........................

You should be thankful that you are so blessed, LOVED, HONOURED, CHERISHED BY LOVING FATHER, (Heb. 12/5-13), THAT HE WOULD SEND YOU MERCIFUL MINISTRY BEFORE HE COMES, (Mal. 4/5),….TO ALERT, WARN, PUT YOU IN REMEMBRANCE OF HOLY WRIT, HIS WORD, HIS COMMANDS, THE TRUTH,……SHARPEN YOU UP, (Pro. 27/17), PREPARE YOU “AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND”, (Rev. 21/2), ……… SO THAT,…… ON THAT DAY,………YOU WILL BE ABLE TO “APPEAR” BEFORE HIM TRANSPARENT, BOLD, UNASHAMED, BLAMELESS, (1 Cor. 1/8, Phil 2/15, 1 Thes. 5/23, 2 Pet. 3/14, WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE, (Eph. 5/27),……. AND GIVE ACCOUNT, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE ASKS YOU THE ONE QUESTION PERTAINING TO YOUR SPECIFIC CALL AND UNCTION,……. “THAT FOR WHICH YOU WERE APPREHENDED.” (Phil. 3/12).

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING TO ASK YOU ON THAT DAY?

I DO,………..HE TOLD ME,………SHOWED ME:………………………………….

READ IT FOR YOURSELF:

“SON OF MAN, I HAVE MADE THEE A WATCHMAN UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: THEREFORE HEAR THE WORD AT MY MOUTH, AND GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME. WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE; AND THOU GIVEST HIM NOT WARNING, NOR SPEAKEST TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, TO SAVE HIS LIFE; THE SAME WICKED MAN SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THY HAND. YET IF THOU WARN THE WICKED, AND HE TURN NOT FROM HIS WICKEDNESS, NOR FROM HIS WICKED WAY, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT THOU HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL. AGAIN WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOTH TURN FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, AND I LAY A STUMBLINGBLOCK BEFORE HIM, HE SHALL DIE: BECAUSE THOU HAST NOT GIVEN HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE HATH DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND. NEVERTHELESS IF THOU WARN THE RIGHTEOUS MAN, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS SIN NOT, AND HE DOTH NOT SIN, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, BECAUSE HE IS WARNED; ALSO THOU HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL.” EZ. 3/17-21, AND AGAIN, EZ. 33/1-22.

HE WILL ASK ME THE QUESTION,………….DID YOU WARN THEM?

AND I PLAN TO SAY YES;………..AND HOPEFULLY,……….NOT WITH THE ACCOMPANIMENT THAT I HAVE NOW IN MY PRAYER TIMES:………….. “THEY ARE NOT LISTENING, THEY DON`T WANT TO HEAR, THEY DON`T WANT TO KNOW, THEY ARE REJECTING, MOCKING, SCOFFING, THEY CAN HEAR AND SEE,…….BUT, THEY WON`T OBEY, THEY REFUSE TO HEAR AND SEE, THEY DON`T WANT TO KNOW, ONLY A FEW, A SMALL HANDFUL ARE RECEIVING YOUR WORD ‘WITH A READINESS OF MIND’:”

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

“OBEY THEM THAT HAVE THE RULE OVER YOU, AND SUBMIT YOURSELVES: FOR THEY WATCH FOR YOUR SOULS, AS THEY THAT MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, THAT THEY MAY DO IT WITH JOY, AND NOT WITH GRIEF: FOR THAT IS UNPROFITABLE FOR YOU.” HEB. 13/17.

I INTEND TO “MAKE FULL PROOF OF THIS MINISTRY.” (2 Tim. 4/5).

I INTEND TO DEMONSTRATE FULLY “THAT WHICH HE HAS APPREHENDED ME FOR.” (Phil. 3/12).

I SHALL KEEP TRYING TO INSTILL, A ZEAL FOR RIGHT LIVING, TOTAL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL HOLY WRIT, IT IS WRITTEN, TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF THE LORD: (2 Tim. 4/2).

I SHALL KEEP LABOURING TO IMPART A PASSION, DEMONSTRATED BY TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO HOLY DIVINE WRIT FOR LOVING FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST: (John. 14/15).

I SHALL KEEP “ROOTING OUT, PULLING DOWN, DESTROYING, THROWING DOWN, HYPOCRISY, IDOLATRY, LUKEWARMNESS, HERESY, DOUBLEMINDEDNESS, SIN,…AND BUILDING AND PLANTING” (Jer. 1/10) THE TRUTH:

I SHALL KEEP PREACHING, WRITING, SENDING LETTERS, EMAILS, MAINTAINING A WEBSITE, AND ANYTHING ELSE HE COMMANDS ME TO DO, “WARNING TO FLEE THE WRATH THAT IS TO COME”, (Math. 3/7, Luke 3/7), TILL “THE NIGHT COMES WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK.” (John 9/4).

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

“KNOWING THEREFORE THE TERROR OF THE LORD, WE PERSUADE MEN;” 2 COR. 5/11. “FOR THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;” RO. 1/18.

SO,…….WHAT ABOUT YOU?........... CAN YOU,……… ARE YOU ABLE,……… DO YOU WANT TO,…….. ARE YOU GOING TO “ENDURE THAT WHICH IS COMMANDED?” HEB. 12/20…………..“ENDURE CHASTENING?” HEB. 12/7.

HELPING HIM PREPARE A BRIDE WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE:

HATING EVEN THE GARMENT SPOTTED BY THE FLESH:

Footnote: It goes without saying, that any call or unction cannot be fulfilled if the one concerned does not “have Christ formed in them”, (Gal. 4/19), “the Word become flesh”, (John 1/14), and they conduct themselves in “Purity and Holiness”, (Heb. 12/14, 1 Tim. 1/5, 3/9, 4/12, 2 Tim. 2/22, 1 John 3/3, ), abstaining from “all appearance of evil”.

(1 Thes. 5/22).

STEPHEN

Seven spirit filled men were chosen, full of wisdom and good reputation,

Among them a man named Stephen, leading many to salvation;

With many signs and wonders, miracles and healings,

But only after called by God, having waited for His dealings:

With the synagogue against him, inducing many to lie,

They stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes;

Bringing him to council, with blasphemous words against him,

Stephen stood before them, at the mercy of their whim:

When asked if the accusations against him, were they true or not?

Would Jesus of Nazareth destroy this place, were the words of Moses forgot?

With the counsel looking upon him, anger in their eyes,

Steven told his story, pleading to change their lives:

Speaking out in boldness, you stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart,

You still deny His spirit, resistance is your part;

How many prophets did He send you, persecuted in the name of the Lord?

And you continue to kill them, by your hand, your own accord:

I stand here before you, with the love of the Lord now spoken,

I stand here before you, praying that you be woken;

I gaze into the Heaven, and see the glory of God,

But you still resist Him, only you can make your rod:

There`s my Father clearly, Jesus by His side,

But you do not hear me, hatred in your eyes;

I feel not the rocks you`re pelting, their blows could never shatter,

The spirit that lives within me, the only thing that matters:

Kneeling down before Him, a loud voice crying out,

Lord their sins forgive them, Stephen began to shout;

He fell asleep before them, his physical life had ended,

Standing for the glory of God, transparent and surrendered:

Acts 6 & 7.
