FOR THE TIME IS COME THAT JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD

(1 Peter 4:17)
House of God:  Temple - Dwelling place of God and those who minister there
The Church - People of God/Believers in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
body - Physical temple of Holy Spirit; of every Believer in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
The time is come...NOW!

Jesus is our Example:
John 4:34 ~ My food is to do the Father’s will and finish His work!
John 5:19 ~ The Son only does what The Father says…and is doing.
John 6:26-71 ~ Labor only for that which counts for Eternity that comes by Jesus Christ.
John 8:12-47 ~ Walking in darkness and judging and walking in Jesus.
John 15 ~ The Vine and His Branches and bearing fruit.


To be His disciple:  “Deny self; take up your cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23
Take up your cross daily – What was the cross to Jesus?  Answer: His created purpose
Our cross is the plan God has laid out for each of us.
Hebrews 12:1-2  Run with endurance the race that is set before you, 

                                          unto Jesus...
Believers,
I Peter 3:15 - Give an account of the hope within you (know why you believe what you believe)
Matt.12:25-37 ~ Every kingdom, city, house divided cannot stand
Romans 14:12 ~ Everyone shall give an account to God!
Hebrews 4:12-16 ~ The power of the Word of God…seeing rightly & bold access to God!
Judgment is at the door!  Repentance is our salvation!   NOW is the time!  Surely The Father is holding off from sending Jesus giving us another opportunity to do the work He has empowered and commissioned us to do. 
Open our eyes, Lord: to see our sins that have shut You out; to see our need for repentance and turn back to You, individually and corporately;  to see we need each other to be Your Body and come together with purpose to seek You, our Head; help our unbelief and transform us as we feast on Your Word and release Your Spirit to do Your will and finish Your work so that we will be ready for Jesus’ soon return. ~Betty

Come unto Me…I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
As the Father has sent Me, so have I sent You.
I will never leave you, nor forsake you, so that you can say I am your Helper…
Do not fear what man may do unto you.
You have My power and My love…give it freely in my Name for The Father’s glory!

~Jesus
