In 2008 I found myself facing incredible debt and a financial situation beyond my control.  In July of that year, my family sold our dream house, uprooted from Longmont, and moved to a small townhome in Commerce City.

 

The victim of real estate fraud, full of guilt, and brimming with failure, I also had a good amount of ANGER.

 

I HATED the man who had swindled us, and many other people, out of our hard earned money.

 

But God changed my heart.  And I began to well up with compassion for the man who thought that $40,000,000, or ANY amount of money, might bring him happiness.  It won’t.  We will all stand before God.  And God plays no games.

 

 

The following was written by the same uneducated fisherman who wrote the book of John.  To me, John “saw in the spirit” and put what he saw into his best description.  And his testimony, inspired by God, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Revelation 20 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it.  Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

 

God is good at all He does … And He does ACCOUNTABILITY.

 

I did not need to go after the man that robbed me.  God would take care of it—and He would take care of my family.

 

And God will take care of things now:

  • He will take care of dishonorable police officers
  • He will take care of corrupt politicians
  • He will take care of people who steal, destroy, loot, and assault innocent people
  • He will take care of gossips and those who distort facts and portray a “different truth” for their own personal gain

 

My Jesus was an amazing Lamb.

 

In scripture it also says that He is a Lion.

 

We have not seen Him as a Lion.  When He sat silent before His accusers, accepted His execution, and told God that “it was paid in full” He demonstrated all of the qualities of a Lamb.

 

Turn on Youtube and watch a male lion deal with hyenas who mess with a member of his pride.

 

And remember that Jesus IS the Lion of the Tribe of Judah—and no one—and I mean no one—messes with His pride.

 

He was an incredible LAMB.  And He is going to be an incredible LION.

 

PRAY for your enemies.

PRAY for those who persecute you.

PRAY for forgiveness when you make mistakes.

Seek the Lord with all of your heart.

 

Because at the end of the day, our goal is to build His Kingdom and stand before Him where He says:

“Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant.”

 

Because when we stand before Him, it will be the most overwhelming and powerful experience that we have ever endured.

 

Be in good standing right now

And if you are not—REPENT—and find Jesus

He is our only hope

 

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
