I LOVED waking up to this post from Pastor Mark!! Y’all if you haven’t read Mark’s book Heavenly Rewards—run buy it today! It one of the best books I’ve read. He does a fantastic job uncovering so many questions we all have about Heaven & New Earth—our eternal home! It’s an easy read but packed full of treasures! It gives practical insight on rewards & how much God loves us!! 💛 Thank you Mark!

Amen!! This is a fantastic book! Also his book 📕 “The End” is one of the best and most thorough books on Bible prophecy I’ve ever read! Soon we see Jesus, Maranatha! 🙌

I finally got to Sunday’s post. My immediate thought was forgive me Lord for all the time I wasted during these 61 years of life. So many times a prodigal son. I pray and ask you pray for me, “Help me Lord finish my race strong like Paul”. My biggest desire is to have even 1 crown to cast at the feet of Jesus. I don’t desire to have any great status in Heaven. Just to be there and serve however the Lord sees fit is more than anything I could attain in this world. Thanks for your prayers.

Excellent, Excellent, update today! Wow I was just thinking about the word "update." We really do have an "up"☝-"date" coming in mere earthly seconds....Shedding this mortal, corruptible body for God's great gift of redemption seems so close and so worth it!!! Have a great Sunday today and get a good nap after church. It's the day of rest you awesome family of God! Talk atcha later!

Thought of you this morning in my quiet time, Romans 13: last of 10-12........all commandments summed up....Love.......therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law. And do this, knowing the time, that it is now HIGH TIME to awake out of sleep; for NOW our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light!!!!!

Love this❤️❤️✝️✡️⬆️

Thank you Pastor Mark but as for me, NO REWARD IS NEEDED. Spending eternity with my God is reward enough!

It has been a very long day and I didn't get to read Mark's post until 5:30PM. Couldn't find my cheater glasses so I read the title without them and wondered why he had posted GAINING WEIGHT YOU CAN'T LOOSE! I am still laughing! GBU all!

I loved this post Pastor Mark . Your insights and scriptures and Godly knowledge is a blessing for us TP folks to stay alert; prepared for His Coming and occupy until our Lord comes. We will see Him face to face and cast our Rewards at His feet and cry. “Glory to the Lamb of God”. Thanks for the update on Rewards study.

I wake up everyday waiting for Jesus to rapture His church. I am so ready for that moment when I can praise and glorify His name in front of Him and thank Him for His sacrifice for my salvation. Praise be to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Hala Whitley's avatar

Amen Clark. No greater gift than the gift of salvation. It cost the Savior his life but free for all who will accept. What love was bestowed upon all of us by one who left heaven's country to die for the sins of the whole world. Looking forward to the day when I get to meet all of my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Diana's avatar

Thank you for this encouraging message. But I have a question that I hope will be answered by Pastor Mark or Jimmy: 2 Cor 5:10 “For we must all all eat before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” Does this mean Christians will be judged for what has been done in the body or will we be

Covered by the blood and no sins judged

because of our faith in Christ? Or the judgement will to those who rejected Christ while Christians receive rewards? Since “there is now no condemnation “ for those of us in Christ, this statement by Paul seemed strange to me - but I suppose it covers both those who truly believe (rewarded) and those who don’t (judged for evil)?

Expand full comment
Hala Whitley's avatar

My understanding Diana is the the judgement seat of Christ is for rewards. We have already been judged for our sins when we receive Christ as our Savior. However, the lost will stand in the Great White Throne Judgement.

Thank you for this. That is what I was thinking but the verse struck me when I read it in my Bible Study. I thank God for Christ is my savior!

Kari Smalley Gibson's avatar

Great question Diana, I did some research for you in the TP archives. Here is a post from Jimmy that will answer your question . https://endtimes.substack.com/p/the-richest-man-in-heaven Jimmy shares, "Every person who goes to Heaven will be there because of grace and not works. And every person who goes goes to Heaven will be incredibly and eternally blessed. They will be married to Jesus and have a mansion to live in for eternity. That being true, not every person in Heaven will live in the same level of eternal rewards. 1 Corinthians 3 talks about our works being judged through fire. This is a reference to the judgment seat of Christ."

I highly recommend you ready Mark Hitchcock’s book, Heavenly Rewards. It’s packed full of wisdom— most of all our rewards. He goes into great detail (but easy read) on the scriptures that teach what believers will go thru when we’re face to face with Jesus !! You’re salvation won’t be in question (you’re in heaven) but what you did on earth to love & serve God & others we'll be held accountable and…. Our rewards God created for us. 💛💛

All my Tipping Point Family, please be in prayer for my twins. We received some devastating news today. Their dad overdosed last night. When he didn't show up for work today, they found him dead. They are heartbroken! Life is so precious, God gives us one breath at a time. Their dad could never stay clean long. If he had only known the one who gives ultimate peace, this would not have happened. To think that he may have split hell wide open is more than I can comprehend. Please, please, pray. I love you all!

Sis Carol, I don't know how one can repent when death strikes suddenly. I have always been taught and even scripture says that the Father must draw one unto repentance. The thief on the cross repented. I'm not sure that one who is drug induced can even be aware enough to repent. I can't judge the heart, I can only judge the circumstance. Thank you for your prayers my precious friend.

Thank you Kari. We have been divorced for years but the girls loved their dad. I am now married to a very Godly man. I'm just devastated for them. The hardest part is knowing that he probably split hell wide open. For all eternity. No going back. It's over and done and now he must face judgement.
