To The Cities That Have Ears To Hear:
Wrought out of unbelief and rebellion, one of the most heartbreaking scriptures in the Bible, is John 6:66, because these were those who had once believed: From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed Him. [John 6:66] (that 666 is no coincidence)
I most certainly am not your judge; never could be, no desire to be.
Nevertheless,
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." [Hebrews 10:26-30]
Trust me, you'd much rather that I be your judge, than God. For in this scenario, there is no more sacrifice (repentance for forgiveness) MERCY. The stubborn-hearted, rebellion of foolish fleshly rituals mean nothing to God. More than anything else, God desires your praise. The most worthy of praises, is a listening ear and an obedient heart.
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you —they are full of the Spirit and life. [John 6:63]

GOD IS NOT MOCKED
The reward is most certainly freely given, the labor is not. There is a process: "The worker (disciple, messenger, Prophet) deserves his wages." The city must first welcome, but never ever trample. Jesus set-forth these parameters because those were the physical persecutions that he endured. Again, the test for the city is, will they again do to Him, in the Spirit, as was done to Him in the flesh?
GOD INDEED IS YOUR JUDGE
