Sooner or later we’ll all have to face God, regardless of our conditions. We will appear before Christ and take what’s coming to us as a result of our actions, either good or bad. (‭‭2 Cor ‭5:10) It was very early morning and I just couldn’t get back to sleep. Then from somewhere distant I heard an old hymn being sung and before I could focus on the tune, or even catch the words, I saw myself in Heaven with all of His Children. We were all lined up and facing His Throne – a h

Therefore, each one must answer for himself and give a personal account of his own life before God. (‭‭Rom‬ ‭14:12‬) I’d been sat there for what seemed like ages, I was so tense that I could feel pins and needles. I was thinking of moving before I got cramp, when the door finally opened and Judgement strode in. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him, it wasn’t his terribly ominous appearance that frightened me, as much as the sheer size of the file he was carrying – the one w

Complain if you must, but don’t lash out. Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking. Build your case before God and wait for his verdict.

As he lifted his leg he slipped and fell down and God said “the fault here is in you!” I was amazed! I said “but how Lord? Ho

So don’t get ahead of the Master and jump to conclusions with your judgments before all the evidence is in. When he comes, he will bring out in the open and place in evidence all kinds of things we never even dreamed of—inner motives and purposes and prayers. Only then will any one of us get to hear the “Well done!” of God. (1 Cor 4:5‬) I’ve just been viewing some posts and thought: ‘Do we really need to debate Discernment, or Judgment, or Christian Correctness when so many

The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah’s question, “Is there anyone around who knows God’s Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?” has been answered: Christ k

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endlessly in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that r
