Rewarded

Take an eternal perspective in all you do, My children. Life on earth is of little value except in this regard.

Loving others, serving Me, telling others of Jesus – let not all you do be consumed in the end. Let your hearts and motives be pure before Me.

Every thought, word, and deed has eternal consequence – some good, some bad – you choose which it will be.

You shall be rewarded for all you do.

Psalm 7:9  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

Galatians 6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Revelation 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

1 Corinthians 3:13-15
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

  1. Hello everyone. I feel like I can no longer hear God. I completely cleaned out my life...and I have been studying the word...but I don't know what's going on. Does anyone have advice/insight for me? I thought I could hear God, but I'm not sure anymore. I know his sheep hear his voice. I don't think I'm living in sin...but I pray God will show me if I am.

    1. Please continue to read the new testament. Ask God to reveal to you any sin, anything you have said did done or thought that is not like him or even dream. Ask him to cleanse your heart. To give you a pure heart up root anything that is not like him out of your heart. To give you a determined mind to serve him with all your heart mind body and strength. Sin separate us from God. You must be sure. Are you giving your whole heart to him, is he truly 1st in your life. Be honest with God. God knows everything. Ask him to help you and also send people that are of Him your way and give you a pastor of God's own heart that is going to teach you his ways. He did for me. Are you lukewarm? Are you completely separated from the world and it's lusts. Nothing and nobody is worth going to hell for eternity. All these things on earth or temporary. Think on things above where you want your soul to spend for eternity Heaven or hell ?

  3. A., God might be in the process of training your ears to hear Him more clearly. Continue studying and meditating on His Word. Ask the Lord to show you something in His Word as you open up the Bible. He will often lead you to read certain scriptures which speak to your present situation. Sometimes the words just seem to jump off the page. Remember that there are many ways that God speaks to His people. He might try to reach you through dreams or night visions, especially if you are distracted during the day. I find that sometimes the Lord speaks to me in this way. He also speaks through pictures, other people, a still small voice, and in so many other ways.

    If there is an area that needs work in your life, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you. He always does. Please don't let the enemy try to tell you that God is not pleased with you, and that you're not hearing from God because you did something wrong. That is a lie from the pit of hell. Rebuke it in Jesus' name. God might also be trying to sharpen up your gift of discernment. Continue studying and applying His Word, because that is how we get to know His voice. I hope this helps. God bless.

  4. To "A": If you are not into sin, disobedience, don't worry about it. Sometimes the Lord let us go through periods of testing when we do not hear His voice, but that does not mean that He is not there only that He is silent for some purpose (testing; for us to learn to wak by faith etc). Just keep praying, reading the Word etc as normal.

  5. Thank you Nora. I will. It does help when I don't depend on other things for comfort...then I'm forced to depend on God and listen for him. I almost feel like I'm resisting hearing from Him. I'm a bit of an extremist when it comes to my faith. I'm like Peter. I tell God I will do anything for him...but then when I hear his voice I get nervous to obey. I feel God is calling me to something, a ministry, out of state, a marriage, healing and miracles...the arts,something? I keep getting all these revelations and confirmations.

    The difficult thing is I feel he is calling me the way he called Abraham to offer his son. He is asking me to trust that I can hear him. Because Abraham knew God promised him an inheritance through Isaac...and that it was against God's nature to kill the child. But he trusted that God was leading him on the right path. Many people in the Bible had to trust God's leading even when the current circumstance didn't look like God's will. Right now to go the direction I feel led in, people would think I'm throwing my life away. What I should be doing is what other 22 year old woman are doing. I should have a plan to get a degree, I should find some friends to hang out with, and I should take whatever job I can get.

    But instead I'm waiting for God to reveal to me what career path he wants for me;because my grades are going back and forth from A's to F's. My family is upset at me for not wanting to choose something I don't have peace about. I let go of many associations because I felt they were in the way of me and God. But for some reason God is still using a relationship in my life that he showed me to hold onto. But this young man and I have a a lot of growing up to do before we can be married. I've gotten upset about having to wait...even though we're both growing up so fast. The reason it makes me upset is because Christians think I'm trying to be unequally yoked and I'm wasting my time. But we both know we're not ready to be together, and we have to grow. That's why it's so hard. I can tell this is real love because it's not all about us and what's convenient today. It's drawing us out of our selfish mindsets.

    Everything is happening so fast that God has been giving me dreams/visions of the relationship so I'll be able to understand more easily. I've had to work so much on forgiveness, being an example, trusting God.

    I'm also doing ballet now, and I feel called to prophetic dance. I really like acting out stories/messages through dancing. It makes me sad that the enemy has used dancing in such a bad way..and I feel like this is the era that the church brings the arts back into ministry. Not just music...but dancing too. Not just worship dancing...but dancing that teaches.

    I also have been trusting God with money, and have my own business by selling photography and ebooks. But I'm upset about that too, because I want a normal job...but my family won't let me, and God also isn't giving me peace about anything else yet. I am only getting peace about certain types of jobs...ones that I'd have to do in the near future but not now.

    I wish I could have a normal life where I made choices other people my age are making. But for some reason God has given me this intense passion to love him. Because of that it is against my belief to do just anything.

    The anointing fell on me so many times recently to play music, and sing, and pray for healing. I know God is talking to me, but it's so hard because his dreams for my life are so big...and his plan seems too big. I'm afraid of getting let down, and trusting him is what's making it hard to listen.
