What we do in secret matters to God. In this powerful message, we explore how our private actions, thoughts, and faithfulness shape our spiritual lives and determine the rewards we receive at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Through biblical examples like King David and Uriah, and Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 6, we see how God honors those who give, pray, and worship in secret. Are you living for His approval or the applause of others? Watch this message and be encouraged to cultivate a heart that seeks God in the unseen moments of life! #Faith #JudgmentSeatOfChrist #LivingForGod

GOD IS ONLY INTERESTED IN A CLOSED RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.  Jesus is saying that based on your level of commitment to Him, you will be given reward at the Judgment
Seat of Christ. Jesus is saying that not being committed to Him can result in you going to The Great White Throne Judgment and being judged among the
hypocrites.  Can God be gentle on your mind? Only if you are committed to Him.

Whether you want to be in a spiritual war or not doesn’t matter; you are in it. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. God uses bad things in God’s people to bring good things.  He begins with: Endurance: “Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Dedicate Yourself: Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life. Aim to Please God: Don’t do these things…for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.

We will face what is called The Judgment Seat of Christ. Jesus said that the things we say will be important on the day of judgment. God isn’t going to pull your words out of context and use them against you. God isn’t interested in us becoming the word police on each other. Not only do the words you say matter, but the words you should have said and didn’t matter too.
Your silence can be just as damaging or more than being the perpetrator. Taking the words of Jesus Himself to heart is a good place to always start. Jesus said it plainly that it isn’t enough to just believe for yourself.You need to find your voice. You need to work on your story, telling others what Jesus has done for you.

Have you come to Christ, by your own choice? What will matter in that moment when you stand before Him? LOVE Matters  --  Your job from now to the end of this life is to learn and practice the way of LOVE.
If God is love, then God is saying it is LOVE that we wrestle with.Love isn’t the attitude or feeling; love is the motive behind the action.
Love is doing for others what I would hope someone would do for me. Love is doing what is right, no matter how difficult it is to make the sacrifice.
Love is doing what is pleasing to someone, because THEY like it. Love is deciding to NOT do what is displeasing to someone, simply because they don’t like it.

What if you passionately started doing something, thinking you were really doing something God would appreciate, only to find out that it really wasn’t something He wanted?
This is really what the entire Bible is full of—stories of people living their lives thinking they were doing things that impressed God, that God didn’t even care about.
What is God looking for? That’s the big question of life. What does He like and what doesn’t He like. He is communicating what He wants you to be doing to accommodate for Him.

There are two doorways at the threshold of fear.  One is faith, and the other is failure. If it is important enough for you to be afraid of it—then it is important enough for God to lead you through it. How do you turn your fear into faith? One way: Love.

“God is with us” is all about love. God is with us could have been about power, an ego trip, a celestial experiment. God says the only way you’ll spend eternity with Me is if you love Me.The test of where you live for eternity isn’t does God love you, it’s do you love God? Do You Worship Him When Life Goes Bad, Obey His commands and love doing it, Choose to Love People? God doesn’t just call us to stop hurting others, His call is to start loving.

Hope is one of the essentials of life. Because we know we need hope, we fall for false hope. God’s Presence is with You, God’s Purpose is on You, God’s Place is Prepared for You. God is the source – the source of hope. 

God, the biggest target in the Universe and beyond, could have come with His protection surrounding Him. The Heart of Christmas begins here: God gave. God saved. God gave…so believers could have. God came to “save” every individual who would be “saved.”
