Are you trying to walk through the fires of life with an empty spiritual battery? In this highly practical and deeply convicting class, John Barnett takes us straight to the judgment seat of Christ to show us exactly what matters in eternity. He reveals that the secret to surviving the hardest moments in life is not found in earthly independence, but in a daily, desperate reliance on the power of God’s throne.
Here is why you cannot miss watching this essential spiritual briefing:
1. THE WALMART CART & THE RIVER OF FIRE
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 3; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Revelation 4
Summary: How will your life be evaluated in heaven? John paints a vivid picture: imagine pushing a "Walmart shopping cart" filled with how you spent your 168-hour weeks right up to the throne. Because of justification, your sins are already removed, but everything else is dumped into a river of fire. Watching television or sports isn’t necessarily a sin, but when it hits the fire, it instantly burns up. The only things that survive to become your eternal reward are the actions done specifically for the glory of God.
2. THE DEAD CELLPHONE & THE DAILY RECHARGE
Scripture References: Matthew 5-7 (The Sermon on the Mount)
Summary: An uncharged smartphone is completely useless—it becomes nothing more than a very expensive paperweight. John warns that an uncharged Christian is exactly the same. To walk through the fire of this world, we must connect to the power of the throne room every single day. Jesus gave us the Lord’s Prayer not to be mindlessly recited, but to serve as our daily spiritual charging station.
3. THE SIX PETITIONS OF SURRENDER
Scripture References: Matthew 6; Jude
Summary: John breaks down the Lord’s Prayer into specific, daily cries for survival. Every day, we must look to the throne and ask God to:
Control me ("Thy kingdom come").
Lead me ("Thy will be done" – reducing the Christian life to simply following behind Jesus).
Supply me ("Daily bread" – relying totally on Him rather than seeking complete financial independence).
Cleanse me ("Forgive us" – because unconfessed sin severs our connection to the Holy Spirit).
Protect me ("Deliver us" – recognizing that Satan is a terrifyingly real threat that even Archangels ask God to rebuke).
Empty me ("Thine is the glory" – removing our ego so our lives are entirely about Him).
4. PUTTING ON THE SHIRT OF HUMILITY
Scripture References: Colossians 3:12
Summary: There is absolutely no limit to what God can do with an emptied Christian. However, God does not force humility upon us. Using the illustration of putting on a freshly ironed shirt, John explains that God doesn’t just zap us with humility like a superhero suit. Instead, we must actively choose to walk over, pick up the garment of humility, and put it on every single day, deliberately declaring, "God, it’s not about me".
THE BOTTOM LINE: Stop wasting your 168-hour week on things that will ultimately burn in the river of fire. Watch now to learn how to empty yourself of your ego, plug into the ultimate charging station of heaven, and live a life that will echo for eternity!
