Rewarding Faith:

“EXECUTING  JUDGEMENT”

 

 

 

Part 1                          Divine Judgement                        

 

 

For as the Father has life in Himself so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself and has given Him authority to execute judgement also, because He is the Son of man. John 5:26-27.

 

For if we searchingly examined ourselves- detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition- we should not be judged and penalty decreed by the divine judgement. 1Corinthians 11:31.

 

Divine judgement is the judgement of a Holy God (the Supreme Being) upon mankind, because of sin, which had its birth through disobedience.

 

This judgement began in the Garden of Eden as a result of the fall of man. This judgement will remain in effect until the tempter or the god of this world is cast into the lake of fire preceding the new heaven and the new earth, according to Revelation 20:10.

 

We as human beings living here on earth at this particular time in history have something to deal with on a daily basis. That something is the divine judgement of God.

 

When Adam and Eve sinned against God by their wilful disobedience, they brought unto themselves and to all mankind a brand new law.

 

In his teachings Paul calls it the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2. Disobedience to God is sin and the penalty for sin is death.

 

Look at Romans 6:23, for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. This is the greatest gift of all.

 

When a human being is born physically, he or she is born spiritually dead (separated from God), if this person goes through life without accepting Christ as saviour then at the moment of physical death this person receives hell as their judgement.

 

There is no escape from hell other than the name of Jesus. Look at this, there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12.

 

This word saved can also be interpreted as delivered. If so, then what am I delivered from?

 

Romans 8:2 says, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

Galatians 3:13 says, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. So according to these two verses from Gods word, we as believers have two things to shout about. One, we are made free and two, we are redeemed.

 

Look closely at this small three-letter word “has”. Christ has made me free and has redeemed me. This word indicates to me that what has taken place is past tense.

 

When Jesus arose from the dead, He at that very moment in time had the victory over the law of sin and death.

 

What it meant to mankind from that moment on was complete freedom from divine judgement. Even so, this judgement is still in effect in the earth and can enter into our lives at any given time, if we allow it. This is why obedience is so important.

 

Many people down through the church age have blamed God the Father for the tragedies in their lives but they have done so in complete ignorance. God is not in the business of taking lives but of saving lives.

 

It is true that it is His judgement that is effective and it’s His judgement on sin, but sin under both covenants has always been under the blood. God has always provided a way out for His people.

 

God’s people have always been special. Under the old covenant they were a chosen people, under the new covenant we are a new creation, a brand new creature in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

 

Why did God choose the Israelites to be His people?

 

Why did He continue to use and watch over them even when they were disobedient?

 

Because of His master plan. His word had gone out and His word accomplishes its purpose. As man began to speak His word it began to take root and His purpose reached fulfillment.

 

When He witnessed the entrance of sin into His creation He was cut to the heart. How would you feel if you had just watched your created man changed from life to death before your very eyes?

 

Adam and Eve were the first born again people, but their birth was opposite to ours. (Where we became regenerate they became unregenerate). They were born from life to death, they received Satan’s nature and he became their new god. When their spirits were changed from light to darkness, this act gave Satan’s kingdom a foothold in the earth.

 

Do you remember when Jesus said to the religious hypocrites, you are of your father the devil; well He was the only one at that time who really understood what was happening in the spirit realm.

 

In Genesis 3:14-19 we see the curse entering into the world and we see divine judgement being handed out by the Creator. First to the serpent (Satan) and then to mankind.

 

It was here that God had a vision of how His master plan would be carried out. In Romans 4:17 it says, even God who gives life to the dead and calls things that be not as though they were.

 

In Genesis 3:15, He tells the enemy that Someone is going to come forth at a particular time in history and undo what you have done. That in itself is the great plan, the mystery hidden in God.

 

God has a vision within Himself of a great family, with Himself as head and the Son of Man by His side. This great family is already in existence.

 

This plan really began when the man Abraham decided in his heart that he would believe God and it was accounted to him as righteousness. Romans 4:9.

 

Then when Isaac was born there was no looking back. God promised that Abraham’s seed would be as many as the sand on the seashore. Genesis 22:17.  And we know that Gods promises are yes and amen.

 

Although Satan attempted to destroy the seed, it could not be done. Especially when he tried to interfere with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. This plan of God the Father could not be stopped.

 

Why? Because it was backed up by the word of God and the word of God does not return void. Isaiah 55:11.

 

Today this Old World remains the same, man is a sinner, God is the judge, and Christ is the redeemer. As we have seen before, divine judgement is active, but so it is with redemption.

 

Let us read, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15- For the love of Christ constrains us, because we judge thus, that if one died for all, then all died, and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and rose again.

 

The Amplified Bible says this, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves but to and for Him.

 

What is He saying to His church?

 

I believe He is telling us that if we live our lives to and for the Master, if we really make Him the Lord of our lives then of course there is no condemnation that Satan can bring against us. Remember Romans 8:1 where it says; there is now no condemnation to those who choose to walk according to the Spirit, through the inner man. On the other hand, if we choose not to walk according to the Spirit then there is condemnation.

 

Romans chapter seven really gets to the heart of what we are talking about. If you desire a strong revelation of what is taking place in peoples lives from the moment we wake until the time we fall asleep at night just read these verses from the Amplified Bible. Romans 7:15-25.

 

Listen to Romans 8:13, for if you live according to the dictates of the flesh you will surely die. Remember Paul is writing to believers not to sinners. Sinners don’t believe this, quote, religious hogwash. They have no revelation of spiritual warfare. This is a warning to born again people. What he is telling us is this; after we are saved we still have a choice. We can live to the flesh or we can live to the Spirit.

 

Let me ask you this, why then do most believers walk after the flesh?

 

Because just as new born babes we need to be trained. Just as a child needs to be trained in the natural so we need to be trained in the spirit man.

 

Now read the rest of verse 13- but if through the power of the Holy Spirit you are habitually putting to death – making extinct, deadening- the evil deeds prompted by the body you shall really live forever.

 

This is the only way to ever live completely free from the effects of divine judgement.

 

Thank God that He knows our hearts; if we are sincere He knows it. If we are doing everything that we know to do to walk the straight and narrow way then the Father is for us, as the song says, He is with us all the way.

 

Even when we stray and get caught up in sin He is there to take us back in at the moment of confession. How do we know this? Let’s look at the word; if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse. 1 John 1:9.

 

Can I believe His word?

 

Yes, if we are sincere in our hearts and we come to Him and confess that we were wrong then He immediately forgives us and makes us clean once more.

 

We have a 24 hour redeemer, we can approach Him at 3: AM or at  3: PM and receive cleansing in that Name. We were born free and we can live free until Christ comes to receive us unto Himself.

 

Meanwhile we are prompted by the word to live by faith. If we live by faith then we fear not. The world doesn’t live by faith therefore they are overwhelmed by fear.

 

Have you ever noticed how many new phobias there are in the world today? God bless medical science but they have no answer for what is happening in these last days. As morality gives way to immorality things will continue to get worse.

 

I have heard believers say I am overwhelmed by all that is happening today. Well, if we read our Bibles on a regular basis we have no reason to be overwhelmed.

 

The word tells us what to expect in the last days. I am neither overwhelmed nor afraid, but I am overjoyed and excited that the day is fast approaching. That day that God had long ago promised is almost upon us.

 

We should be living in anticipation with Revelation 22:20 upon our lips, even so come Lord Jesus.

                    “EXECUTING JUDGEMENT”

 

Part 2                            Self-Judgement

 

 

For as the father has life in Himself so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself and has given Him authority to execute judgement also, because He is the Son of Man. John 5:26-27.

 

For if we searchingly examined ourselves – detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition – we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgement].      

1 Corinthians 11:31.

 

Before Jesus of Nazareth was born of a virgin and before the establishment of the New Covenant, there was an execution of judgement throughout the earth, under the established Old Covenant, which was backed up by the power of the living God. This was a divine judgement.

 

The plan of the Father to have an earthly family and to carry this family into eternity with Himself as head, would take many years to bring to fruition.

 

Therefore, the living God had to legally implement a way to guide His individual followers to move in the direction that he wanted them to go. First, He began to call things that be not as though they were and second, He would execute judgement if His command was not carried out.

 

Example; Gods plan for Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply, which shows us that this is where the plan of the family of God was to begin.

 

But we know that Adam and Eve failed the test of obedience and the world was turned over to a new god. We know that Abraham came into the picture and was used of God because of his faith.

 

Once the nation of Israel was established we can see God carrying out His plan throughout the Old Testament. In Exodus 12 we see the institution of the Passover. This is a very important scripture where the executing of judgement is of vital importance.

 

Lets read Exodus 12:11-13 -  Beginning at the end of verse 11, it is the Lords passover, for I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgement, I am the Lord.

                                                                                                         Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood I will Passover you. So the Passover was established and was meant to be carried through until the Old Covenant was no longer necessary.

 

Today, we as individual believers have a new and better covenant with our Heavenly Father. The thing that hasn’t changed is obedience. God still requires His people to obey His word. If we continue to walk contrary to the word then there is a judgement that will come upon us.

 

Look at Galatians 6:7- Do not be deceived and deluded and misled, God will not allow Himself to be sneered at, scorned, disdained or mocked, by pretentions or professions, or His precepts set aside.

 

Believer, please be clear in your mind and allow this last part to be revealed to the spirit man within you. Listen to the word of God closely; he inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows, that and only that is what he will reap.

 

How important is sowing and reaping?

 

Talk to a farmer sometime, the guy whose livelihood depends on the exact crop that he planted to be the exact crop that comes in.

 

If you continue in Galatians 6:8 you will see that every living person, not just believers, sow their seed in one of two places, either to the flesh or to the spirit. Of course the unbeliever can only sow to the flesh.

 

As a believer matures in the faith there is a process that should be taking place. We should be consistently learning how to sow to the spirit, but if we slip and sow to the flesh instead, then there is forgiveness and the chance to move on with the Lord.

 

Let me make a statement right here that comes from personal experience. If we as believers keep repeating the same sin over and over again, either willingly or by deception and not attempting to get deliverance from it, and leave it behind us, we will eventually have more trouble than we may be able to handle.

 

Everyone has problems with habits; to be human is to be habitual. If we have habits that we know are not pleasing to the Father then we need to deal with them. Bad habits will eventually drag us back to the world and sometimes into hell itself. Remember Jesus words in Matthew 18: 8 – If your hand or foot causes you to sin cut it off, it is better to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands and feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

 

Now after saying this, it brings me directly to the scripture and a teaching from the word of God that I believe has not been fully taught or understood to its fullest.

 

Earlier on we mentioned the Lords Passover and how the blood kept the Israelites safe from harm. Well we as new creation believers have a better covenant based on better promises. It still involves protection through the blood but it is the blood from one sacrifice only. That is the blood of the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world. God has provided a way in which we are able to walk sin free in the earth.

 

First we make Jesus Lord and Saviour of our lives and then just as Jesus showed by example, we use the word to defeat Satan no matter what the temptation.

 

The scripture that I have been leading up to is found in 1 Corinthians 11. This man named Paul certainly had a way with words. He recognized that a great number of believers in Corinth were a very carnal bunch. They were caught up in religious traditions, fleshly habits and a very divisive nature. We can see over the years that nothing has changed. We have the same deceiver that Jesus talked about when He spoke these words, the thief (Satan) comes not but for to steal, kill and destroy.

 

Let’s read from verses 27 to 32 – Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgement to himself, not discerning the Lords body.

For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.  For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

 

Now this should be familiar scripture to every believer but sometimes I wonder if it is.

 

If every believer already knows that they should only take communion after self judgement then I can see why it doesn’t have to be mentioned, but according to chapter eleven it’s plain to see that all believers are not aware of this fact.

 

If they were aware of it then Paul would not have needed verse 30. Look at this verse from the Amplified Bible – That careless and unworthy participation is the reason many of you are weak and sickly and quite enough of you are fallen into the sleep of death. For a scriptural example of this read 1 Corinthians 5:4-5, preferably from the Amplified Bible. The act of executing judgement is still in force in the earth; first it is an act of self judgement and then an act of corporate judgement. According to verse 31 it says, if we searchingly examine ourselves, detecting our shortcomings then we will not be judged by the divine judgement.

 

So there is a judgement on sin that is effective both on the sinner and the saint alike, the only difference is, the sinner has no knowledge of how to escape divine judgement until he is born again into the family of God.

 

We should all be aware of the blood of Christ; this blood was shed on the cross of Calvary to remove sin from our lives forever. Not like the Old Covenant where blood was just a covering for sin from one year to the next. Jesus is the blood that washes white as snow.

 

Then there is the body of Christ, it was beaten and spit upon, then crucified on a cross in our place. This is the penalty that all of mankind should have been penalized with. But believers in the resurrection of Christ are no longer condemned with the world. We have a Lord and Saviour who chose to take our place and he is supposed to be the King of our lives. If so, then what do we owe our King? We owe Him obedience and self judgement.

 

If this were not a serious matter then Paul would not have spent so much time with the Corinthians trying to keep them on the straight and narrow. We must realize that once a person begins to walk the straight and narrow way (Matthew 7:14) Satan doesn’t back off and say he’s out of my reach, no, he is a deceiver and he works 24 hours a day trying to steal, kill and destroy, and not just sinners but saints too. As a matter of fact I believe that when we come to Christ the attacks get even stronger.

 

This is why self-judgement is so important, Satan knows that we reap what we sow. It doesn’t matter if we’ve been saved for 50 years, if we don’t judge ourselves we automatically fall into divine judgement, because God is no respecter of persons, but He is a respecter of faith. A person who comes to God in faith and chooses to walk by faith is on the path of being an overcomer.

 

If we are faithful in judging ourselves, in worshipping Him, and walking according to His word and no other then we can be overcomers in this life.

 

I believe the whole message of faith is to walk and talk about our victory in Jesus. In Revelation 12:11, He encourages us to be overcomers, listen to what He says, and they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

 

This is talking about a victorious group of people with spiritual understanding. People who are not perfect but mature enough to know how to overcome and move on with Him, people who love Him more than this natural life, people who love Him more than anything in the universe. People who profess to practice Gods New Commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another as He gave us commandment. 1John 3:23. Amen.

                    “Executing Judgement”

 

Part 3.                         Corporate Judgement

 

 

 

In part one we saw that God has always executed judgement in the earth because of sin brought on by the disobedience of Adam and Eve.

 

In part two we saw that under the New Covenant we are redeemed from the curse of the law and if we walk by faith in Gods word we can live free from the divine judgement of our Creator.

 

Here in part three we are going to see that God has imparted to His church the authority to execute judgement in the spirit realm concerning every deception of the enemy.

 

To execute judgement in the spirit realm is to carry out or perform God’s judgement on Satan and his kingdom concerning their control over mankind.                                                                                         

 

Jesus Christ has already paid the price for every human being alive today to be set free in spirit, soul and body. Unless a person has willingly turned themselves over to Satan’s influence, and worships him as a god, then he has no rights over them.

 

But we now have the power of the heavenly court to take authority and speak the word that is already settled in heaven.

 

It is my belief that all believers are called to execute judgement in the spirit realm. As we go through this teaching, I want you to always remember that this is a spiritual exercise. If you find yourself distracted by the mental or physical realm, it is up to you (the inner man) to bring yourself back in line.

 

First of all let’s take a look at our foundation scripture and we will begin from there. In the Old Testament there are many prophecies concerning the Deliverer. I love to use the different titles that pertain to Jesus; Deliverer is one of my favourites. This is a prophetic scripture concerning the coming King.

 

Behold the days are coming says the Lord, that I will raise to David a branch of righteousness, a King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgement and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved and Israel will dwell safely. Now this is His name by which he will be called: the Lord our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5-6.

 

There is no reason for any person on earth right now not to be saved and delivered except for one thing, deception. However Satan is doing it, by whatever trick or device, it is he who is keeping the unsaved from knowing their Saviour. And Jesus Christ is their Saviour, whether they acknowledge Him or not. They are only a prayer away from knowing the Lord.

 

Jesus didn’t just give His life on the cross for one group or race of people; He did it for the whole world. God does not desire for anyone to perish. So He gave His church the power to take authority over any situation and expect God to move on an individual’s behalf.

 

To execute judgement is kin to intercession and I believe it is the next step in spiritual warfare. If you were to study Jesus ministry, you would see a man in complete control of every situation. From the water to wine incident, all the way to the healing of the high priests servant at Gethsemane.

 

Intercession and prayer are absolutely necessary, but executing judgement is the next step. It is the work of faith. It is an aggressive move in the spirit realm when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that nothing can stand in the way of someone’s deliverance.

 

Smith Wigglesworth called it reaching up to Heaven and grabbing hold of God’s faith. Just imagine knowing that God’s creation faith was living in us and we could step out and perform a miracle at the snap of a finger. What does Mark 16:17 say? In my name they will. We all need training in spiritual warfare. I believe this to be a large part of that training.

 

God is against the world system whatever it may be. When Egypt was in control, God showed them His power. When Rome ruled the world He was against them. It doesn’t matter whom or what controls the world; God will never be pleased with them. Why? Because they don’t live by faith. Hebrews 11:6.

                                                                                                                                                                          Look at Exodus 12, we are going to take a trip through the Bible and see exactly what executing judgement is all about. Exodus 12:12b says, and against all the god’s of Egypt, I will execute judgement, I am the Lord.

 

In this verse God was talking about a literal Egypt. But we are going to bring this verse into the spirit realm and use it with New Testament power. We say it like this, and against all the god’s of today’s world system, we will execute judgement. Why? Because we have the Lord’s command, and He is still Lord.

 

Ephesians 6:12 says, we don’t fight against other people. Our warfare is against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age and spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Every word, every foolish idea that man has ever come up with that tries to exalt itself above God’s word, comes from, and is controlled by these four spiritual forces. Remember we said it before, it is all deception. That is the only weapon that Satan has against mankind. He begins his deception the moment we are born.

 

Look at 1 Kings 6:12 – Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in my statutes, execute my judgements, keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will perform my word with which I spoke to your father David. What is the Father saying to us? Simple, if we will be obedient, then we can take Him at His word. Whatever He promised, He will perform.

 

In my new King James Bible, at the beginning of Deuteronomy 28, there is a title over the chapter that says this, “Blessings on Obedience”. Since the fall of mankind, Satan has had the opportunity to steal our blessings. Then Jesus came along and spoiled principalities and powers and made a show of them openly. Now we can have our blessings back by using spiritual forces that are available to us. We execute judgement and watch God perform His word.

 

Look at Psalm 149:9 – To execute on them the written judgement, this honour have all the saints. Once again we bring this into the New Testament with power and call it an honour to carry out the very thing we saw the Lord do, and follow His example. What did He do? He brought deliverance to the captives and set them free. In the spirit realm, freedom is a fact. The devil and his followers do not protest and say what Jesus did was wrong or unfair. They know they are defeated and there is no hope for them. It is the church that needs to finalize it once and for all. To stand and say I’ll not be defeated any longer. I believe and put into practice what I am called to do.

 

Let’s read Isaiah 16:3-5 –  “Take counsel, execute judgement, make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day; Hide the outcasts, do not betray him who escapes. Let my outcasts dwell with you, O Moab; be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler. For the extortioner is at an end, devastation ceases; the oppressors are consumed out of the land. In mercy the throne will be established; and One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.”

 

Remember we need to read this in the light of our redemption. Take counsel together, bring your faith to the table and join together with other believers, make a plan to take the land for Jesus. Execute judgement on Satan’s plan for your home, city and country.

 

We are called to be a shelter for the outcast, the sinner who is deceived; we can cover them from the spoiler. The oppressors are already defeated in Jesus name. The king is on the throne, established in truth and justice and hastening righteousness. Did you know that righteousness is hovering over the lost soul? To him it is just a prayer away. We have the power over the power that holds him in bondage.

 

Look at Jeremiah 21:12a - O house of David (the church) thus says the Lord, execute judgement in the morning and deliver him who is plundered, out of the hand of the oppressor. Once again the Lord is commanding His people to go forth and demand that the enemy has no rights on the earth anymore.

 

Remember 1 Peter 5:8- it says, your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Once again this is just a deception. He is not a roaring lion: he just tries to make people believe that he is, and many people fall for it. If you look close you’ll see that he has no teeth and no claws. He has been to the spiritual dentist whose name happens to be Jesus. Satan and his devil’s have no power over the church unless we allow it.

 

Take a guess who the lion is supposed to be?

 

Proverbs 28:1 – The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. If you’ve been born again then you are the righteous. You are a new creature in Christ Jesus. You are a spiritual lion with a mouth full of sharp teeth and claws as long as you want them to be.

 

Once again look at Jeremiah 23: 5,6 – “Behold the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will raise to David a branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgement and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

 

Notice verse six says, “This is His name by which He will be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.” How do we know whom this verse is referring to? There are many lords, both past and present. How can we identify or put a name to this Lord? If you are a believer then you obviously believe it to be Jesus. But I like to go to the word and prove these things for myself.

 

Notice Daniel 7:13-14 –  “ I was watching in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom that all peoples, nations and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away; And His Kingdom the one, which shall not be destroyed.”

 

Notice it says one like the Son of Man. To him was given dominion, an everlasting Kingdom that shall not pass away and not be destroyed. Well there is only one man that has ever lived who fits this description, Jesus the Christ.

 

Now let me ask you this, what has the Father done for His Son? Remember John 5:26-27 – For as the Father has life in Himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgement also, because He is the Son of Man.

 

If you follow through the gospels you see Jesus of Nazareth doing what the Father has commanded Him to do. Jesus totally pleased the Father. Can you imagine what would happen if all believers decided to do the same?

 

Jeremiah 5:1 says this – Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, (My Town) see now and know, and seek in her open places if you can find a man, if there is anyone who executes judgement, who seeks the truth and I will pardon her. It seems very clear to me that God is looking for someone to execute judgement. Is there someone available in the earth today? When Jesus said these signs shall follow those who believe, whom was He talking about? I believe it was His church, and what did His church do?

 

I find in reading the book of Acts that these early believers were so powerful, and brought so much attention to themselves, and what they were doing for God, that it caused this statement to be spoken. Acts 17:6 – These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. They even had the nerve to say, there is another King, and His name is Jesus.

 

I’ll tell you what I believe; I believe the book of Acts is unfinished. If you go back in church history you can see many great things that have happened and continue to happen today. I think the book of Acts should continue until Jesus says, it is finished.

 

One last thing, there is a glorious event that is going to take place in the future concerning Christ and His church. Remember this takes place after the Rapture of the church, when the church age is finished.                                                                                                    

 

Let’s finish off by reading Jude 14,15 – let’s start at behold, “Behold the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints to execute judgement on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Amen.
