COLD HARD TRUTH: ON JUDGING OTHERS

Cold Hard Truth: JUDGING

Don't judge? But Jesus repeatedly taught men to judge rightly, insisting they “judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24) and He praised a man who “rightly judged” (Luke 7:43). Paul shamed the Corinthian Christians because no one among them was willing to “judge the smallest matters” (1 Cor. 6:2). As the Apostle wrote, “He who is spiritual judges all things” for “we have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:15-16).

To say, and or accentuate that someone can't judge

you is not an accurate statement. Where did we get the notion that men should never judge? You can be Judged but with a Righteous Judgment. do not worry about being Judged on Earth; God will Judge you according to your works he is our Eternal Judge.

Stop, using this statement as a pass for your sin.

You can refuse man's judgement but, there is a Judgement that you will not be able to refuse.

If men refuse to accept God's judgment of sin, and refuse to judge themselves by that Word which is the only infallible standard, then there only remains the penalty for their sin, which is judgment to destruction. Eternal death is the consequence of sin upon unregenerate man.

Judgement is to every person, it separates the wheat from the tares and separates the Faithful from the wicked. There is clearly a difference between righteous judgement and outwardly condemning someone which is to outwardly, declare to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil.

 As many, self-righteous sinners and Christians have jumped on this band wagon taking to Condemn, Gossip and Judge the life of the late Bishop Eddie Long! If you want to continue to speak on something you know nothing about. if you, want to keep with entertaining gossip and unjust opinions you do so at your own risk. Personally, I know nothing of this man and neither does most those who are condemning this man, except for what you have read or heard. Shame on you. It is not for me to judge or give an opinion ALL, He, Me and You will ALL have to answer to God.

Matthew 7:1-3

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

 Again, righteous judgement is to compare and line up with the wrong of God to exhort to a righteous way of living. #SistahSarah #ICareAboutYourSoul

Repentance is When you Change

WE SHOULD ALL ,...ALWAYS HAVE A REPENTANT HEART
READ EZEKIEL 18:20-32

Do not let the enemy deceive you God does not hate you. GOD HATES SIN!!
We serve a Loving GOD, to whom we can go to at anytime. AGAPE means his Love is unconditional. GOD knows we are imperfect beings and knows that we make mistakes. The enemy would like to condemn us to those mistakes but, we have an Advocate: 
1 John 2:1 (KJV) My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1 John 2:2 (KJV) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

When sin is forgiven, it is Blotted out, It is no more remembered (Psalms 51) and is available to everyone God has no respect of persons. 

Forgiveness is an act of GODS Grace to forget transgressions we confess - without condemnation.

* Pride: interferes with our forgiveness. Pride keeps us from confessing our mistakes to God.
* Not having, a true intimate relationship with God hinders our forgiveness.
* Apostasy (Lukewarm) interferes with our forgiveness
* Not forgiving those who have wronged us interferes with our forgiveness

As you read Luke 3:10-14 you will see that when we repent there should be an outward expression of that Repentance this is not simply saying, I'm sorry only to turn and do the same thing next week NO!! A change needs to take place. I heart truly sorrowful realizes there offence and is equally hurt in that they do not seek to keep making the same mistake over and over then this is now ...Premeditated Sin and you are taking GODS Grace for granted. Lord, Shake Every Carnal Foundation let the spirit of conviction remain with them. 
#ICareAboutYourSoul You Should Too #SistahSarah

Scripture Reference:
Romans Chapter 8 (KJV)

8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!

I MUST SHARE WITH YOU SOMETHING, MANY OF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR.

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING! WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

The enemy can use those whom you may think are for you to lay trap for you. Even more through those who are not saved. Everyone who say, they are saved ain't saved!  There are those who serve God only through Lip Service! The Life they live does not line up with the Standard of God and you know this!

Sometimes, we make excuses for it being okay because, of who they are:
An Ex you're still in love with, An old Friend, Family, co- church member...
Sometimes, God has already removed them and we go back and get them!

WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

When are changed the things we used to do we no longer do; the Way we use to behave we no longer act that way in open nor in secret; We distance and separate from the company we use to keep to shield ourselves from being tempted and corrupted in anyway.

To Feel like you cannot enjoy yourself without sin is a Trick and a Trap from the enemy. ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO HELL FOR 5 MIN TO A FEW HOURS OF WHAT You DEEM to be PLEASURE (FUN)??? What's fun about getting drunk to the point of sick? What's fun about doing drugs that destroy your brain cells? What is fun about subjecting yourself to disease: sleeping around with randoms without condoms? Club hopping? (Doing things in excess) The long-term affects of any of these things can cause death Physical AND Spiritual.

YOU CAN'T BE SOBER MINDED IF YOU ARE NOT SOBER. 
9 out of 10 do drugs, alcohol, sexual addiction for an escape!

THE ENEMY LOVES TO TWIST THIS!!!
He WANTS you to Think there is no Life outside of sin;  He WANTS you to think there is something to be Missed outside of sin. That's the devil (He a Liar) he comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy (Jn 10:10) you and any desire or thought you have about living the life you were purposed to live in Christ. He knows exactly, who to use to get you tripped up in your walk and perhaps pull you out of the Will of GOD.

EITHER YOU WALK WITH GOD OR WALK WITH THE FLESH?

I have stated in many topics before you must change your Mindset.
You can have good clean fun.
MAKE THEM THINK, RATHER SHOW THEM THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR LIFESTYLE For a Change; and you would be Absolutely, RIGHT.
WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

Thank You, Holy Spirit

God's Masterpiece: God's DNA is in YOU!

You are God's Masterpiece!!

We are God's Masterpiece his handiwork created in his image and by his divine design. We are the canvas.

* Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].
God has put gifts in us— heart, abilities, personality, and experiences — and wants us/ you to use them.” You have worth because of what God says about you and has done for you.
He didn’t create you to just sit and soak and sour. He brought you here to make a contribution with your life. And everyone is needed. There are no little people in the family of God. Every part is necessary.
I want to share this quote with you...

The first Hope of a painter who feels hopeful about a painting is the Hope that the painting will move. that it will live outside of its frame. _Gertrude Stein

We need to to step outside the confines of our frame; just because God created you there doesn't mean that its where he intends you to stay. You must allow the word of God and the Holy Spirit to grow you outside of those borders.
Genesis 1:27(AMP) So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.

We have Gods DNA in us: we were created "In the image and likeness of God"
DNA it determines who we are it is our makeup is our Father and Mother and their father and mother so forth. DNA is a code made up of letters 3 billion of them in fact is said, that Human DNA is spelled out in 3 billion letters.  

I found my Biological father after 34 years in 2003 and before I found him I didn't really know who I was - I was very different from my brothers and sisters who had a different father than me and being young, I didn't understand why I was so different. I felt like a misfit. But When I found "my" Father (Glory to God!) from the time I laid eyes on him, I knew, I belonged to him I shared his likeness; I began to understand, why I held my hand a certain way; and even in my posture it was because I had his mannerisms even having been without him for 34 years. I was able to look at old pictures of him and because we shared the same DNA I saw a picture of him in is youth and my son looks so much like him because my son shares my DNA.
Do you see where I am going with this?
Right now, some of you are alienated/estranged from your Father and its because you were born into sin but when you are/were "Born Again" you begin to see who you really belong to and where you come from because God's DNA is in "Us" 
We can be like Jesus. We can do what Jesus did, we can walk like he walked and talk like he talked. 

The Question is Why aren't we? 

Saved and Unsaved... It's time for you TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

You are so much more than you even know! I when you really catch hold of it... I't like our Prophet has been teaching "We go from Glory to GLORY!"
We are Gods Masterpiece 
Read Psalms 139:13-19

Thank You, Jesus for this!

ARE YOU PLUGGED IN??

I was talking to the Lord, this morning.

 I am excited! 

I am excited about the topic he gave me this morning

but, First...

I have a question for you all this morning:

ARE YOUR PLUGGED IN??

Are you sure?

Because, if you have Hangups, you are Not Plugged in;
If you have Doubt, you are Not Plugged in;
If you don't have Faith, you're Not Plugged in;
If you are Not Saved, you are Not Plugged in;
If you are not Obedient, you are Not Plugged in;
You can't be Plugged in if you are in Sin;
How can you be Plugged in, if you do not Study the Word and Pray and, if you are not Faithful how can you be Plugged In??

WHAT SOURCE ARE YOU PLUGGED INTO??

When we Plug into the Word, We Plug into who we "Really are"!!
When we Plug into the Study of God's Word; we then Stop allowing our emotions to get in the way of our Faith.
Stop being so concerned about how you feel and concern yourself with what you should do.
Can you tell yourself, It doesn't matter how I feel?
When you can look in the mirror, Say That and, Mean it! Then you are Connecting, YOU are getting Plugged in because, Self... is out of the way. Feelings do not Move GOD, Faith does! 
Know that , How you deal with your problems remember, it is not what you go through but, How you go through it;

Now you can plug into the POWER OF GOD, which brings me to introduce the topic the Lord, gave me for today, 
"MOUNTAIN MOVERS"  Nope, this was the one but, I Thank the Holy Spirit for this because, you will need to be Plugged in to get it.
When you get Plugged in to Christ;
Get plugged in to the Word;
You can and will be CONNECTED to the Man and Woman of God: Shepherds over your Soul and Connected to their Vision and
Get Plugged into the Power of GOD
You become a Mountain Mover>>>

STOP!!!

PEOPLE OF GOD!! STOP!

STOP! BELIEVING THAT YOUR CURRENT SITUATION IS ALL THERE IS TO YOU. 
STOP! LETTING YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE DICTATE YOUR DESTINY!! AREN'T YOUR TIRED OF THAT??

GET OUT OF YOUR RUT!!
I'M READING MY WORD AND LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE OF GOD AND OUR LIVES; DO NOT PARALLEL WHAT AND WHO THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, WE ARE, WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE AND WHERE WE SHOULD BE.
THINGS ARE NOT MOVING FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD BECAUSE, WE HAVE NOT SHIFTED OUT OF OUR LAZY BONES, THAT'S RIGHT OUR LAZINESS!!

YOU ARE NOT A PRODUCT OF WHERE YOU CAME FROM SO BE A PRODUCT OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING!! IF YOU ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING NO BETTER THAN YOU ARE THEN YOU NEED TO FIND PEOPLE WHO HAVE KEYS TO SUCCESS IN CHRIST AND IN LIFE. AS A PEOPLE FEAR SUCCESS WHEN WE SHOULD BEWARE POVERTY....ITS SAD

WE SAY, WE'RE PRAYING;
WE SAY WE ARE KEEPING THE FAITH;
WE SING, I DON'T HAVE NO DOUBT
BUT WHERE IS YOUR WORKS??????????????????
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD- DEAD-DEAD-DEAD
YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE YOUR FAITH-
NOT JUST SEE YOUR SELF IN YOUR BLESSING-
PREPARE FOR YOUR BLESSING!!

GOD, NEVER SAID ASK, BELIEVE AND WAIT FOR ME TO PUT IT IN YOUR LAP. HE SAID, ASK, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE! 
WHEN YOU RECEIVE SOMETHING YOU ACQUIRE IT THAT MEANS YOU TAKE POSSESSION YOU TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT AS YOUR OWN. 

WHEN WE KNOW, WE ARE GETTING NEW FURNITURE WE GO THROUGH THE HOUSE. WE GET GET RID OF THE OLD TO MAKE ROOM FOR WHATS COMING WE WILL HAVE A BIG EMPTY SPOT IN OUR HOUSE WHY BECAUSE, WE HAVE THAT EXPECTATION BUILT UP. THIS IS ALL WE NEED TO DO...
I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR A HOUSE I WALK THE GROUND ONCE A WEEK (ONE OF MY NEW NEIGHBORS WAVED AT ME THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE.) I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING TO PLANT MY FLOWERS IN THE BACK, I HAVE THE ADDRESS ON MY BOARD AT MY DESK. 

WE HAVE TO COMMAND THE BLESSING!
COMMAND MEANS TO BE IN A STRONG ENOUGH POSITION TO HAVE OR SECURE SOMETHING,

STOP! SELF -DEFEATING

I DECLARE MY CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCE IS NOT MY PERMANENT POSITION! GLORY TO GOD!!!
THANK YOU, HOLY SPIRIT!!

#ICareAboutYourSoul YOU SHOULD TOO!!
James 2:17 So too, faith by itself, if it is not complemented by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

PRESS YOUR WAY!!

PRESS YOUR WAY!!!

Are you a bit down/sad today?

Have you been hurt/betrayed by someone?

Are you tired, of going through the same o' Junk?

Are you Tired, of Struggling?

Are you Trying to Kick a Bad habit?

Are you Tired, of being Bound by Sickness?

Do you feel like you can't Trust anyone?

Are you Scared, you might lose Everything?

Someone, you know needs Prayer?

THEN I'M ASKING YOU TO

PRESS YOUR WAY!!

YOUR HELP AIN'T AT HOME, AND IT WASN'T AT THE CLUB LAST NIGHT..... IT'S AT CHURCH!!

IF YOU WOULD JUST LOSE THE WORLD...YOU WILL GAIN SO MUCH MORE!!

PRESS YOUR WAY??

GIVERS AND TAKERS (Wisdom Minute)

There are Givers and There are Takers:

There are People who will drain the Life out of you if you let them.
These people can very well be Family: 
They may very well be people in the church:
They will drain you financially, spiritually, physically and drain you mentally
Because of your heart you will see how much you give but may not be aware of 
Just how much they take. These people at some point will learn the art of manipulation
as whispered by satan and take advantage of your kindness.
This is NOT to say we are not to help anyone but, seek Gods Wisdom to help you
discern the difference.

Just because, you are Saved: Doesn't mean you have to be a Doormat.

If you really have a Heart for Gods people keep in mind that helping them is 
not Handicapping them it is teaching them to march to the beat of their own drum
and not wail on yours.

Sistah Sarah's Wisdom Minute

2 Timothy 3:1-4  (KJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

" READY OR NOT "

Let’s Just say..., Hypothetically

You were watching television and your show was suddenly interrupted by Breaking News!
The news reporter states there is evidence that Jesus Christ will be entering our atmosphere on this coming Tuesday. Matt 24:36,37

Are you ready?

“What would you do?”

• Would you go to church on Sunday? 
• Would you get saved? 
• If you were cheating on your spouse would you Stop? 
• Would you apologize to someone you wronged? 
• Would you return something you’ve stolen? 
• Would you Forgive "now"?

“What would you do?”
For those of us already saved… “Are you ready?”

• What would you do that you are not doing now?
• Would you pray more? Would you study the word more?
• Would you start fasting? Would you release that ought against your brother or sister?
• “Would anything you do be enough?” 

Can you get your house in order before Tuesday?




“Some” reading this may be reading with a raised eyebrow or rolling your eyes in disbelief saying, “They’ve been saying that for years…. Longer than I can remember!”


Yes-Yes they have. Do you not think... he’s a lot closer NOW, than when they said it years ago?? What would you tell him? You can’t say you didn’t know? God's word is written on the fleshly tablets of every mans heart.





I'm just saying, Will "we" be ready??

You can Run but, You Can't Hide!!

Many of us can probably say, we have been there, In one form or another.  Like, Moses we may have said, I can't speak; Like, Jeremiah who said, I am too young I can't speak but, How many of us are out Like, Jonah? Running. Uh, uh no not me, Lord!

READING: The Book of Jonah

Has God ever asked, you to do something, speak to someone, encourage someone and you felt like nah, that's just me? Asked, you to say something in Church? You say, They won't believe me,  I am scared to speak in front of people. I can't do that. Has anyone ever told you - you are called into the ministry/ have a calling on your life. Did you stop going to church altogether. You are not alone many of us have struggled with dis-obedience from  God's calling or simply telling us to speak to someone, give a certain offering, pray for someone or go somewhere.

I will say this… "YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!"

God does not take no for an answer, neither is there an excuse to justify our saying , no. Jonah by running from God stepped out of the will of God and out of fellowship with God, due to his disobedience. 

 I remember, the first time God told me to do something publicly, I was in my late 20's. I was shaking in my boots, "Oh, Lawd" and it was a big church not mega but big. I looked around at all those people and the first thing the devil said, in my ear was they are not going to believe you but he didn't have to say, anything I was just scared…So, I sat there. That thing, and I still remember word for word it stuck with me day after day, week after week; I could not rest, Uh I could not shake it, uh. I saw my  Pastor at the time outside watering the grass at the church and I told myself "okay, I'm going to do it." I walked, over to him and told him what the Lord, told me to say. He said, "I receive it!" I walked down the street so proud of myself , Happy, that I obeyed the Lord; I could have skipped home and at that very moment the Lord said, that is Not, how I told you to do it. My whole countenance fell and so did my head. That was the worse feeling to have disappointed God.

I Thank God, for his mercy and his Grace for he is a God of second chances. He truly knows your heart just do not use, misuse or abuse his Grace. Again, he knows your heart. The Lord grows and stretches us outside of our comfort zone. He is full aware of where we are when, we feel incapable, un-worthy, nervous, anxious, and scared to do those things he has called  us to do.

But, He knows the plans he has for us    . Regardless, of how we feel, we MUST be OBEDIENT! Feelings do not move God but, Faith does! Jonah, Ran from God he went through all that and still didn't get away from what God purposed for him. Running did not void him of doing what God said, to do. "What God has for you is for you!

 

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!

 Acknowledge, your faults ask God, to forgive you for being dis-obedient. Get it right from here on and be OBEDIENT is better than Sacrifice. What you feel Incapable or Disabled to do… God, has already, Enabled You!
