The deepest thoughts of my heart will be examined by fire.
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
