Judgment that Begins at His House

      Rebellion came to humanity for the first time out of the serpent's mouth in the Garden of Eden. As a result, the Father has become all too accustomed to the feelings of rejection that comes with idolatry in all of its satanic forms. Each of us know what human rejection feels like. However none of us can possibly begin to comprehend what it feels like to The Creator of everything, who is Perfect in ALL of His ways! He lovingly laid forth His plan for humanity and how we are to live in harmony with Him, with one another, and with nature. Yet we have shown throughout the ages that we would rather do things our own way. Trusting in the work of our hands. Twisting His word to conform it to our desires. However there comes a time when His holiness demands that He brings judgment; a judgment that begins with His house.

     This blog began in the fall of 2013. I have posted things as I felt led to do so. I found out a couple of weeks ago that I had unknowingly posted one of my drafts from this blog on to Google+. This process is still new to me and apparently I zigged when I should have zagged and the draft became public. My pulse quickened as I realized what I had done and I immediately removed it. Truth be told, I had forgotten all about it. It was written after I had posted Trial and Purging are Coming to America http://suebendorf.blogspot.com/2013/11/trial-and-purging-are-coming-to-america.html?m=1and was expected to be used as a follow-up. As I read over the message, I knew within my spirit that it had been delayed for a reason. The time has come for it to be posted on to the blog. What follows is that completed message.
    
     Being awakened around three a.m. is not unusual; in fact it is the norm. During one of those times in August of this year, America once again came to my mind. As I knelt in the living room to pray, I asked the Father why He refers to this country in the feminine form when He speaks to me about it? His answer startled me so much as to cause me to sit down. He spoke to my spirit, saying, "She is a harlot."

     The last post I put up spoke of a time of Trial and Purging that is indeed coming to this country. The church must know that His house will not be spared. He will not be mocked. False teachings and doctrines of men will be exposed and laid bare. Absolute Truth will be made known and each person will be left with a choice. The Scriptures are true and eternal and we cannot pick and choose what we will and will not believe; which instructions and commands we will and will not follow and somehow think that we will be okay when He returns. We have defined The Almighty within our doctrines, and through our traditions we worship our Messiah as Pagans worship their gods. Things we were strictly forbidden to do!

     While we continue to pray for America, we are aware of the fact that wide spread revival has not come to our shores in over one hundred years. We like to recite 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." We don't see ourselves as wicked because we don't do the things that we define as wicked, but the Bible wasn't written in English. In Hebrew, the word wickedness is Ra. At its root it means, "to destroy, to break something into pieces and destroy it." To destroy and to break what? At its very root, His Torah. I honestly think that there have been many in this country who have humbled themselves and prayed, but as believers we have not turned from our wicked ways. Not as HE sees wicked. As a result, our land cannot be healed; not unless or until we repent. 

      As people who say we love God, we criticize the world for portraying that there are no absolutes and for living as though truth is a relative thing. We hear it said that, "Somethings might have been true at one time but we live in days of enlightenment! Times change!"
     With our mouths we say that there are absolutes! His Word is truth! We profess that our God cannot lie and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Yet what do our actions reveal? What do we really love? If we are honest with ourselves we have to admit that as a corporate body we are not a peculiar people. We are not a called out assembly. We behave, and from our appearances believe what the world believes; cheapening His sacrifice by refusing to turn from our multitude of sins and instead choosing to cover them with a well worn blanket of grace. Within the church we sing His praises and anxiously await His arrival; not noticing that our wedding garments are soiled and seemingly forgetful that He will not take unto Himself a dirty bride nor realizing what it will take in order to make our garments clean. Revelation 7:9-14

     Revelation 18 promises that this Babylonian world system will be destroyed. Our Messiah will not reign under its dictates! The apostle John tells us in verses four and five,
     "4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; 5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities."         

     Part one in the last series of posts I put up told about the sorrow associated with the prayer and the research that went into it, but I didn't fully explain why it made me so sad. The greatest sadness stemmed from the fact that He has to bring righteous judgment. It is my earnest prayer that our eyes will be opened to our harlotry and that we will cry out in true repentance because the hour is late and the judgment that is making Him exceedingly sad to administer, is coming!


  "17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?" 
1 Peter 4:17

  "23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 34 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
John 4:23-24

  "1 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, 'Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.' 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
  8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
   11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
   14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. 15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability."
2 Peter 3:1-17
The word lawless in the Greek Septuagint is anomia #458 which means violating or ignoring the law.
The word law in the Greek is nomos #3551 which means the Mosaic law, the Torah.
