Obedience even to death

Jeremiah 48:10 (AMP) Cursed be he who does the work of the Lord negligently [with slackness, deceitfully]; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood [in executing judgment pronounced by the Lord].

"When I am taken to hell, I encounter shocking moments. There are so many pastors in hell. There are a number of countless pastors who are in hell. There are a lot of famous seminary professors there. There are a lot of pastors that you may know. There are pastors who have played with the gifts of God. The place where the wives of pastors go is so enormous. It is a place  you cannot imagine.

The hell where the leaders of the church go is so enormous. It is so full. After seeing that, I tell people do not desire to become pastors unless you are called. Because pastors are responsible for the souls of other people." Pastor Kim, Yong Doo

Philippians 2:8 (AMP) And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

We must all pick up our own cross willing even to be obedient to death. How many of us in our hearts really serve sacrificing our lives willing even to the point of death? NO, many serve only to the limits of their comfort.

Lord have mercy on a stiff necked generation who mostly tramples on your Grace. Most of us are only fattening ourselves for the day of slaughter. More Grace!

James 5:5 [Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Ezekiel 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them, even to the [spiritual] shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the [spiritual] shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?

James 3:1 NOT MANY [of you] should become teachers ([a]self-constituted censors and reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation].

Make us servants that are after Your own Heart Lord!! Put salve on the eyes and ears of our hearts. May our hearts be fully circumcised to do your work.

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you [spiritual] shepherds after My own heart [in the final time], who will feed you with knowledge and understanding and judgment.
