ARE YOU CHOOSING PROMOTION… OR DEMOTION?
ARE YOU CHOOSING GOD IN HEAVEN? Or satan and Hell?!
I am asking you: “What is your decision? Is it to accept God as God or do you choose yourself to be all that…?”
Everything I write is first and foremost to glorify God. I also purpose to bless those who love righteousness… As many of us do want our own way, when we choose that instead of God’s Law, we suffer in some way.
I don’t want that for any of us!
I want to explain and expound upon the truth of the gospel so that those of you who smirk, sneer of just plain ignore the love of God might come to the fear of Him and so be saved: thereby, being allowed to come into the presence of our most holy God with boldness, joy unspeakable and complete, restful peace.
Beloved, the fear of the Lord is a choice to either claim you know the truth of who He is and embrace Him with all your heart, soul and spirit joyfully with utmost peace. Or, the fear of the Lord can be abject terror you will truly experience once you are face to face with the God all, being fully aware of your imminent consignment to Hell, a very real place. This abject terror is not at all what the Godhead wanted you to ever experience, especially for all of eternity!
Selah
Again, Beloved, there are two judgements for the individual man to choose from:
The Great White Throne Judgement
Or
The Judgement Seat of Christ.
Which sounds better to you? To me without parsing the biblical truths regarding these two judgements, and if I were still a sinner or baby Christian, I would guess The Great White Throne Judgement sounds comforting; and in contrast, The Judgement Seat of Christ sounds frightening. Just as saying: “There are many ways to God.” is painfully evil, the truth is Christians will enter into The Judgement Seat of Christ and its’ purpose is not to judge our sin. Our sin has been everlastingly forgiven and forgotten as we remain in Christ as spoken of in the book of Hebrews:
Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
PROMOTION or DEMOTION?
God has given each man to choose this day whom he will serve. It is obvious to an idiot there is good and there is evil. When a thoughtful person meditates on this and realizes there are two individuals who are behind each action, the realization of two kingdoms become apparent: The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan. Yes, satan does have a kingdom! This enemy of our soul and all who serve him (and never repent) will be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur…
Think about it. Ask God, seek truth and don’t ever blame anyone else for your sin, for your godlessness:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
AND NOW: Keep Peace! I will explain to you both of the judgements; The Great White Throne Judgement and The Judgement Seat of Christ!
Selah.
THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT
There is coming the time when all people who reject Christ, refusing to worship and love God will be forever cast out of His presence: this is Hell. When the Book of Life is opened and your name is not in there, this is your eternal fate: your home in Hell…
Revelation 20:11-15
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
The purpose of this judgement is to receive rewards for the honorable and worthy deeds we have done for God. The works we have down with the wrong attitude will be revealed and we will suffer loss because of it.
2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things while done in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:12-15
If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Colossians 1:21-23
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation- if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Hebrews 8:12
For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

Isaiah 43:25
“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.
Matthew 12:24-28
But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys!

Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
