Isaiah 43
26 Let us review the situation together, and you can present your case to prove your innocence.
There will be evidence presented on your behalf.
Acquitted: Free
Condemned: sentenced to a particular punishment,
In a courtroom atmosphere, you have the Judge, Defendant, Prosecutor, Defense Attorney, and the evidence. The evidence is the main piece to the trial. The evidence held against you, will determine the outcome. This will determine if you are acquitted or condemned. Come on here! The evidence, that’s presented on your behalf, will determine if you will be acquitted or condemned! How many of us are aware that, there will be evidence, used to give the verdict? Let’s turn to the book of Matthew 7. We are going to focus on verses 21 thru 23.
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.
Matthew 7:22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’
Matthew 7:23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
In these passages we are shown how the defendants attempted to plead their case, with words. Who caught that? They we’re trying to plead their case, without any hard evidence, supporting their plea. The evidence that we are all building, will determine if we hear, “job well done or depart from me”. What type of evidence are you building? While we are in these tents, we are building our case. Blessings!

Thank you for this powerful message.
We need to realize that we are not going to be judged on what we say out of our mouth on judgement day. But we are going to be judge by our entire life.
You can't talk your way in but you must Live your way in.
God bless you sir for the word.
