Judgment Must Begin At God's House
66Beat Down Or Become Beat Down!
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and
if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the
gospel of God? I Peter 4:17"
WHY do God's people get judged first? Because the church of Jesus Christ fails to execute it's primary
functions - to defend the faith, to walk by faith and to subdue evil
forces in the earth even though we are EMPOWERED to do so. The only way
to defeat Satan in this earth is for Believers to exercise the dominion
and authority God gave us. God won't do it, but through the LIFE of Jesus Christ - He instructed and showed us how to do it with our faith and the power of God!
WE are the channel that God operates through, because He handed over the
keys to us - He gave the dominion and authority of this earth to US!
And He will not take it back - only those speaking spirits who operate
on this planet wearing earth suits of flesh are authorized to exercise
the power of God in this earth. Devils are unauthorized to run rampant
the way they are, God expects US to arrest them! Hallelujah!
God makes His supernatural power available to us to stop the devil dead
in his tracks - and when we fail do that (for whatever reason: lazy,
ignorant of our covenant blessing with God because we don't READ OUR
BIBLES, caught up in seeking pleasure & entertainment, distracted by
the cares of this world etc., etc.) ---the devil begins whuppin our
tail FIRST because we are the biggest threat to him. Jesus said the
gates of HELL shall not prevail against the Church - we are like a
battering ram against those gates, and those gates MUST fall!
If we ever find out who we REALLY ARE and what we are REALLY here for,
the devil doesn't stand a chance against an army of like-minded
Believers. But as long as we PLAY CHURCH, the devil and his wicked army
of demons run rampant in the earth.
People are not the enemy - the wicked spirits inside those people; SATAN
himself inside those demon-possessed people are the Enemy, this is why
God told us to love them - HE WANTS THEIR SOULS! He doesn't want ANY of
the precious, pure & sinless blood that Jesus shed for them to go
to WASTE!
God is LOOKING AT US, (some of us that is) and wagging His head at the way we are letting the
devil have his way in the earth, in our homes and even in our own minds
and bodies! No, you can't lead everybody to Christ and get everybody's
soul saved, but that doesn't mean you don't try - you have no idea what
God will do with the seeds you plant - but you must plant them! That
Word will either save that person or judge that person and YOU Child of
God must do your part.
God is depending on His earthly representatives (yes that's YOU &
ME) to CALL ON HIM & HIS POWER to cast out devils, bind the enemy,
and to loose (release) the power of God into the lives of those whom He
intends to SAVE. But before we can exercise dominion over this earth, we
have to exercise dominion over our own flesh, minds and heart. Hello
somebody???
QUESTION: "...when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8b"
Come on CHURCH! What ya gonna DO?
Now according to Matthew 18:18-19 go slay some DRAGONS by binding them
with your spoken words to the atmosphere where they dwell:
"I
bind you Satan according to the dominion and authority God gave me, I
bind every evil plot you and your demons have devised against me, my
family, my home, my friends, my church - all in the name of Jesus - by
the power of His shed blood! And I release the power, presence and
peace of God into each situation right now - where light shines darkness
must back up - so back off Satan!"
Come on y'all - pray about your
situations, come up with your own words to speak out loud and DECLARE
YOUR DESTINY!
Abundant Blessings Await The Faithful! Onward Christian Soldiers!

Yes Ma'am, will do - Blessings To You JD!
Good call to arms brother, I think you're absolutely right. The funny thing is that I have been praying alot the last few months that God would start leading me to live a holier life, to erase the evil in my life. I'm not talking about an empty platitude, I am talking about considering the life of John the Baptist and willing to go as far out as God directed him. I mean that guy ate nothing but grasshoppers and honey! And his dress style was certainly not fashionable. Man oh man, truly following God is this hard, and this good. We are at war.
My point about what is funny is that I am learning to walk closer to God in a way I never thought I could, willing to learn to preach to people (I'm not there yet but God is bringing me there), and now I see you doing the same thing in your way.
What's also interesting is that the divide between Godly people and evil people is becoming greater and greater. I find that those that are against God are becoming more and more vocal and aggressive about their anti-faith faith (having a form of godliness without God). I think we are on the cusp of the last days where we Christians will prophecy and see many saved.
It is also true that where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. I think we are going to see some dark times soon. And we will also get to see God working even more. Praise God!
Wow, Alexander Mark - your comment has touched me so very much. I am in total agreement and I see the same DIVIDE that you're talking about as well. Those who are not walking in the way of the Blessing are walking in the way of the Cursed, and only those who are on God's side are spiritually sensitive enough to know. The dark times are amongst us now and it all begins with the spirit of deception that is able to overtake those who don't have a personal relationship with God for themselves. That's where we come in with our works of evangelism. While all won't respond, we're after those who will. Blessings!

The Fire of the Lord speaks! AMEN! Where I fall short is in my prayer warfare. Thank you for this inspirational hub! May we all wake up and keep fighting the good fight!! Dealing with the Enemy is not pleasant, for he wages war against us, but praise be to God He that is in us is GREATER than he that is in the world. Stay on FIRE, brother! God bless you!
