God's judgment

The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of Your wrath has come. It is time to judge the dead and reward Your servants the prophets, as well as Your holy people, and all who fear Your name, from the least to the greatest. It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth."
(Revelation 11:18 NLT)

Have we become comfortable and blind, putting away the things of God for things that satisfy our flesh and when a man of God speaks can we not see past the words coming out of his mouth to understand it is not his words but the words of the One who sent him? What a terrible condition of the heart, for it is easier to dismiss than to obey. One day God will say, “Enough!”

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: "The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever." The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped Him. And they said, "We give thanks to You, Lord God, the Almighty, the One who is and who always was, for now You have assumed Your great power and have begun to reign.
(Revelation 11:15-17 NLT)

Lord, help us to see with the eyes of our spirit and not just with our physical eyes. It is our short sightedness that will ultimately destroy us, leading us to live a life that satisfies ourselves when we should be concerned about satisfying what you have required of us. Let not our spiritual ears be deaf to what your messengers tell us, for contained within their words is the key to the very thing our souls have longed for but our spirits must be awaken to your call. With tender hearts must we get up out of bed and say, “Here I am. Did you call me?” (1 Samuel 3) and then by faith believe your Word and with singularity of mind and whole heartedly we turn from our ways to follow You. You are holy and require our very best, not a half-hearted effort. For if Jesus is not our only choice then He is no choice at all. If we’re not giving everything then we gain nothing.

If you refuse to take up your cross and follow Me, you are not worthy of being Mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for Me, you will find it.
(Matthew 10:38-39 NLT)

Remember it is not the messenger but the One who sent the message that has the power to save. To ignore, make light of, or drown out the words they speak would be like the dead sealing their own tomb, effectively sealing out all hope.

All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them. But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them.
(Revelation 11:10-11 NLT)

Hear this, no more games today is the day of salvation. Either turn your life over to God or walk away, no more riding the fence hoping for the best of two worlds because they will not mix. The holy cannot know the unrighteous and the selfish heart cannot know the ultimate sacrifice. The time is short and the choice is eternal.
