Everything I have ever done will be tested by fire; what was
        fruit and what was works.


        Here’s the point.  100% everything that  I have ever done to
        dishonor the Lord, to disappoint God, to hurt Jesus, every sinful
        thought, everything I’ve left undone, every offense to God, will
        someday be burned up.  It will be gone.  People are afraid of the
        Judgment Seat of Christ.  I can’t wait.  I want that fire.  I want
        everything that doesn’t please Jesus to be burned up.  That’s the
        consummation at the end!  That’s why all tears will be wiped
        away.  You don’t have to be afraid of the Judgment Seat of
        Christ.

        At the Judgment Seat of Christ, God will look at you and say,
        “There is nothing that displeases me.”  I have arrived because I
        see Jesus and I’m finally like Him.  There’s no more sin and
        there’s no more dishonoring God.  It’s all ashes; it’s gone.  I’m
        not afraid of that fire – “Burn baby, burn!”  I want that fire.

        Let me review this.  How do I know for sure that I will become
        like Jesus?  It’s because God has put His seed in our hearts and
        everything produces after its kind.  What is the process?  I stand
        in front of the word of God and I see Jesus and every view of
        Christ transforms my heart.  How will it end?  Someday, at the
        Judgment Seat of Christ, everything that displeases God will be
        burned up.

        Our Heavenly Father, how glad we are for the truth that we are
        going to be like Jesus.  Sometimes we look at our lives and we
        doubt that it will ever happen.  But You’ve given us Your life
        and You have put Your seed in us, the precious Holy Spirit, and
        have given us Your word so that we can know the Lord.  Help
        us to see the union of grace and gazing.  Help us to keep our
        eyes  on  Christ.    Thank  You  for  the  day  when  everything
        dishonoring  will  be  burned  up  and  for  forever  we’ll  be  like
        Jesus.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen
