Jeopardy: Losing Your Rewards, Part 2

Greetings friends and new listeners and welcome to this program on the Archie Harding ministries. I'm sure not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The message we bring you today is timely and trustworthy jeopardy. Losing your rewards. I hope you will hear with your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how you should respond to this inspired word jeopardy. Losing your rewards verse 33 and 40. The last chapter, and he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar and set up the hangings of the court date and let us read this next sentence together so Moses finished the work then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. So just and God called the place to be made just perfectly. And when it was according to the pattern is given to every minute detail the glory of God came down in place. Such a degree that this could not walk door. He could not rate the glory that earthly tabernacle and holy place where God came down and just like in my life because what, no, not that your body is the temple of the Lord and the Greek the holy place the holy place called seeing the whole only because we we are the holy priest, long, place of my life. Experience in my life God detail so that he can work on me.

Sometimes I feel that hammer beaten away just beaten away.

You're not flat enough. You gotta get down the ladder. Amen.

Gotta get down our and sometimes I feel the pressure of God not feel that big old needle going in and out of their God is so much attention to what temporary tabernacle, how much more is he going to work on me. How much more going to work on you when he said you will be anointed by God's anointing on the holy well thought out. Tighten the screws work will not because just like the glory of God, that place and obedient and it was finished so you know, so Moses finished the work you have to read all the boring tales finished work. Amen.

And just when it was finished and complete, and God was pleased God's glory will not, what is unclean and disobedient weather/all anointed and his glory came down and God gave Moses the pattern, and you know what God has a pattern for you and for me that's turning Ephesians the second chapter Ephesians 2 and 10 you all.

I'm sure you know this verse well, for we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in. Then, so we are God's workmanship and God has ordained before ordained even before the foundation of the world.

God already knew what he was going to do in the church. He already knew what to do and you and me and the one workmanship. It talks about something that is precisely something like a work of art and God just like he gave Moses the following explicit detail and his glory came back God had given the you and for me because the Bible Romans 829 also did predestinate to be formed in the image of his dear son. Jesus is the pattern image just like that, just like the one just like the son of God's righteousness and holiness that the Holy Ghost is using for you and me and us were image means to be identical in word and outward. Let's drop down verse 20 and we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone and show all the building for the frame together grow up into a holy temple in the Lord and show off so our building together for a habitation of God through the Spirit so that the foundation and the letter is Jesus Christ. Before anyone can build everything they've got the architect and plans and a blueprint to see how it will be made and once those plans and blueprints are approved, then the carpenters and the masonry people in the bricklayers and electricians in the palm of and on and on and on… Follow. Amen.

And Jesus Christ is the foundation and unto God. And here in the present tense which means the building is still going on was going on. When Paul wrote 2000 years ago and it's still going on now. The building project is still continuing. The process will be building a scholarly attention goes from one generation to the next next generation. God is building a holy temple, a holy nation, and part of that and you reported that because we are the leading style says lively stones but better style to law holy habitation onto the lot by the Spirit of God and what God is working or not contains with the because everything… And he does for an eternal purpose are an attorney first for the third chapter and verse nine for we are laborers together with God, your God's husbandry and he are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, all the speaker and the writer as a wise master builder I laid the foundation in another build their own by let every man take heed how he build their own for other foundation can no man lay lay Christ. Now let's stop before we get one to the next part which is where I really want to get to first of all, just like God gave Moses the pattern. Paul said God has given him a pattern and the apostles Moses pattern was for a temporary physical tabernacle. The pattern that God gave to Paul and the apostles is for a spiritual, eternal tabernacle, the tabernacle to Paul begin to build is eternal because the eternal spirit of God is going to dwell in it and the foundation is Jesus Christ made once and for all. No other foundation can be made. I'm sorry not due to non-not sorry not do.not Mohammed not not Harry Krishna, not anyone else.

There's only one foundation is laid that as late as an heiress tense in the Greek it means it was made once and for all and that's it. The foundation is laid its final its permanent but the meeting is in the present tense meeting that which is being built upon the foundation is an ongoing building project. How many understand the foundation once and for all but the building a foundation will continue until the day of Jesus and Paul master builder because Paul the apostle and he was one who was to establish many churches and was the one who was given the revelation and the doctrines to the church master builder another work on like an architect but the design and the function and the safety unit by the building or what the apostles were concerned with one foundation was laid for many know it takes knowledge to be able to build a sound and beautiful structure. A person could build a beautiful building, but it might not be safe or it may not be functional, it may be beautiful, but you can't really use it for any significant purpose is nice to look at what is for ordinance beautiful, but it's not how many remember a couple years ago. Not too long this huge beautiful mall in the Midwest was a kind that had several tears like are morally and such like that and was very new and the whole second tier just collapsed on the bottom and yet it was beautiful with fountains and skylights and palm trees and all that but it wasn't safe and many people were killed and her because it collapsed and so it is very distinct to the pattern that the Holy Ghost is given.

It's going to be set. It's going to be functional. It's going to be proper while and it's going to be beautiful, because everything… Is beautiful foundation and my creation of the well everything was going good but the good in English 10 and so God is going to allow those joys placed in ministry to bring forth the pattern so that we can continually make sure that were staying on the blueprint. If you allow yourself to get off just a little you know that in one corner. By the time you get the back corner.

You can be off the Holland and if you keep going that way. After a while everything is going to be off and that begins to affect the whole structure and integrity of the building project so the building is now to be beautiful. It's going to be safe and it's going to be functional. And Paul said, I laid the foundation. The foundation is Jesus Christ said that if that fits you raise your hand. Individual possibility that how he builds their it is my responsibility as a strong running time is the taking in the New Testament is really strong warning that but the great really slick big barrel and again the present. Maybe we must continue to take heed, we must continue to watch how we build their one fortnight nation can be made and that which is laid, and of course we've already said only Jesus everything else will crumble everything out in time when pressure comes, it will crumble.

But if you are building on Jesus Christ.

Just like Jesus gave his own parable, the man who built on the rock. He had the same trouble, the storms, the winds, the rains came in, but because he had built on the rock on the solid foundation structure stood when the other man down somewhere on down nation, but we've got to take heed how we build their own and this is the important reason why verse 1312 now and build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones would hay and stubble. Every man's work shall be made manifest for the day, clear it, because it shall be revealed by fire and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is it getting in work by which he had built their own, he shall receive a one a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, shall stop allow, but he himself shall be staying yet so as by fire.

Now let's look at this. These are the roles for building on the foundation to reap rewards, let me say right off the bat were not talking about salvation. This is not whether or not you're going to be saved or lost. This is not a message to sinners. This is not a message to backsliders.

This is a message to the saints who were building on the foundation of Christ. Now this means that we are going to be in that judgment seat before the Lord of the righteous same and were going to give an account for the deeds that we done in our body, and depending on how we had built on the foundation. It will determine whether or not we receive more. Some people are going to stand before the Lord and when the books are open for the deeds done in their body. It's going to be consumed because when you fire towards stubble and hay it's consumed.

The Bible said that they will be not held were not talking about going to hell, but they'll have no reports but the Jews were are able to was the fire will be like silver and gold and precious stones and that is what we want to focus on because a lot of times/NR self very strongly and we get in on the backside and we tell ourselves what you know I'm not backslidden I'm not in the world cannot commit sin going to head but because we given to ourselves and we give into our flesh so many times we are causing our own to be cheated of the rewards that would be worse when we get to heaven. Every body will remove that's all you want, will be very, but you won't even because when the five minutes going to go online to be made silver, gold and granite mark… Up there on the same times when we get into our flesh. We get into bed to tweak them into negative things. All were doing is changing ourselves of our eternal amen because the Bible says that there's coming a day. He said the prayer because article on their it's talking about a particular day, a very particular day it is going to be the day of the judgment of the Lord when the Saints of God will stand before him. When will know somewhere between the rapture of the church and the second coming of the Lord.

Somewhere in that.

How many know that during that time is great tribulation on the earth, but we are going to be going to a marriage dinner were going to be sitting down at the supper table of the Lamb of God, and part of the activities that were good to be doing is going to be celebrating the marriageable and part of the activities that were going to be doing standing before the judgment seat of Christ.

Amen. That's one of the things that were going to be doing when when there he said work again, individual responsibility shall be try it will be a particular day, and on that particular day. I worked to be put be put to the fire and try your it's talking about being approved. After testing, it means that you know we use the word tried to attempt to do something.

Not that meaning is. I tried this works it works. It's like the good housekeeping stamp of approval for the underwriters lab every little electrical appliance that you buy stamp on their we try it works it's functional and that's kind of the idea that when our work search. Why are going to be approved whether or not any man's work by the fire. If any man's work may fire without grading that he is going to receive a reward for that and those rewards are good to be eternal again if his works to abide the fire do not come through the fire that he will let his works will be lost, but is rewards will be forfeited. But all are vanished like that.

Now, how that makes you feel, but that makes me feel like checking up on myself like examining my heart improving my heart to make sure that I am preparing myself for that judgment day because if I make it to heaven and I'm gonna make it to head amen.

Gonna make it ahead. You may not know and tell them that but stand pulsating second printing 510 for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that one now again he went from law pluralistic to everyone. Responsibility may perceive other things done in the body according to what he done, whether it be good or bad. Now, almost like a moron. Okay were saying they were going to happen and work in had been how can anything we had to be good or we would there wrong word because our faith is in the righteousness of Christ and in his blood.

And because as much as we are now. We walked in, his good works, but there are going to be a lot of works that people have done and will do that when they stand before God approved this good, they're going to be as would stubble and hay and that part of the message that I won't get one tonight. They'll say for the next time. There are seven things that I found in Scripture.

Seven things that were going to be try going to see whether or not we get rewards seven different things I won't talk about them tonight but because we live in a stand before the Lord and because every one of us were going to give an account whether it's good or is his policy because the thing that is not for the right reason is not good to be good appear to be good, but on a particular day when it's put your best day whether indeed, it is good weather is bad. And so Jesus gave us the parable of the talents and I will read the parable, you know it's in chapter 25 of Matthew and instead have any game one, one town and another to another five and he told the now given you take care of, and when he came back again account for what they had done with their assignment and he provided that what they needed to carry out success.

One had increased his the other hand, increases the one had not only not increased to utilize all and Jesus said why you used what I gave you to use the target, the one that had been faithful and what he said well John now blind and faithful servant.

You've been faithful over a few things, I will make you over for over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord never already in heaven. You understand that this is not going to happen or not it were in the pearly gates but are we going to the joy of the Lord. Now I'm not talking about sadness like here on earth he's there, wipe our tears away. I'm talking about the joy of getting those rewards you think those people that stand up on the stand at the Olympic games with those golden light metals and they got join the crime scene and compared the joy that will receive when we hear the Lord say well done up there with the city of millions of people of faith, no brother Johnny's going to, to say well, John, and sister Susie's well done. Joy. Amen. What an eye-opening heart transforming word of the Lord jeopardy losing your rewards Saints. I must tell you truthfully, when God revealed to my spirit. How much everything I do and how I do it and why I do it for his kingdom will determine what eternal rewards I will receive or forfeit. It revolutionized my Christian walk. My whole life.

All my life has been serving God, but I didn't always do it with the best attitudes I had tendencies to pride and self-righteousness and even pouting that I did not see his problems were not talking about one salvation are going to heaven. We are talking about our works be in tried once were in heaven.

Paul said that every man's work shall be made manifest and revealed by fire to see what sort not what size, what quality not what quantity it is.

Paul said that we all individually will stand before the beam at the judgment seat of Christ to give an account for the deeds done in our bodies, whether good or bad.

He referred to Christians not sinners and he said that if our work survived the fire, we shall receive a reward. They will come forth as gold silver and precious stones. But if they do not survive the fire. They will be burned as would stubble and hay and he shall suffer the loss of his rewards for me this is a sobering reality. I don't really want to go to heaven. I went all the rewards on eligible to receive and I believe you do to find out seven things the Scripture say that will be tried from our words to our works are giving how we act and endure in trials are motivations you know there's even a reward for those who love and look for the Lord's coming and the rapture. I call it the Marinette. The reward today's message jeopardy.
