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

Thank You, Holy Spirit!

A SEASON OF APOSTASY IN THE CHURCH: YOU MAY NOT BE WHERE YOU THINK YOU ARE

READ THIS....
#ICareAboutYourSoul

Loss of momentum and losing your first love leads to Apostasy.
Apostasy is disaffliation from what you believe; it is embracing an opinion contrary to your previous belief; it is neglecting your spiritual disciplines.; it is turning away and abandonment from your church; It is neglecting the relationship, the communion you once had with God.

When you lose your love for the TRUTH, when you begin to shrug off conviction, all you really want is a cover for your sin. 
Apostates seek to find a covering outside the covering of the church and once they have separated 
members should have no dealings with apostates.
Listen to the Word
Romans 16; 17-18 Now I beseech you brethren, mark them diligently which cause division and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them. 18 For they that are such, serve not the Lord Jesus but their own bellies, and with fair Speech and flattering deceive the hearts of the simple.

Conversations will consist of subtle reasonings claiming that what you believe is not the truth.
If you feel like this won't affect you because you are strong in the faith and truth and you have nothing to fear...Listen to the word
1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]

You are not aware of the spirit this person - the spirit that caused them to leave the covering is working in them to pull you out as well. You cannot spend quality time or interject yourselves into groups [exposig yourselves to various spirits] in order to win them back.

The spirit that caused them to leave the covering is now working through them to pull you out as well. Entertaining their subtle reasonings can cause you to fall prey to questioning and doubt.
Listen to the word
1 Thessalonians 2:2-3 That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that-that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.
Luke 8:13; Matt 13:21
*2 John 9-11
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.

When you abandon your church because of self-will/self-righteousness because of the truth this is apostasy (If the apostates you entertain were the same they would not have left and or things would have been done decent and in order)
Listen to the word)
1 John 2:18-19 Little Children, it is the last time, and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they should have continued with us. But this cometh to pass, that it might appear, that they are not all of us.
2 Tim 4:3 When you abandon the faith shortly after receiving salvation to go back into the world this is backsliding.

When you continue to walk with someone after they have abandoned the Faith: Not only do you jeopardize your own faith but you are walking with the dead... someone who has flatlined spiritually because they have deviated from the normal pattern and separated from the heartbeat of the church

It is not for you to keep pleading with someone who has departed from the faith or from the church; they have made their decision. If they do not receive you 
Shake the Dust off your feet Matthew 10:14 
Do not allow someone else to defile you or else you become like them lead away by compromise, entertaining debates and/or the lusts of your flesh.

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING!!!!!

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.

Church Hopper #3: THE DOUBLE-MINDED MAN

A Double-Minded man is someone who suffers from Divided Loyalties, not only does this person have no stability is his life but, none in his Spiritual walk. They are Unstable. James 1:8

On one hand, he/she wishes to maintain a religious confession and desires the presence of God in his/her life; On the other hand, he/she misses the ways of the world is still conformed to it and desires, prefers and salivates for its ethics and standards.

Due to the instability of this this person, making excuses is likely to become a regular practice different from the Church Hopper 2: Playing Church; this persons hopping starts in his/her mind While those that play church make excuses for their lack of performance in the church.

Church hopper #3 Takes calculated thought into finding an reason or making an excuse to leave the church his/her plan to leave the church has always been premeditated. The excuses are part of him/her needing validation from others to do it and will likely, drag around until they get it.

WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR CHURCH HOPPER??

If this person does not find validation from the current church then, now they need to find their reason;  because now it is affecting their performance and they have become highly sensitive and cannot stand correction and now they have found an excuse to bolt.

Remember* This person is unstable and did not get validation and Now that they are gone he/she is unsure that they made the right decision.

 When you do not take responsibility for your actions and mistakes. Not getting what you want at one church so now you want to go get Validated somewhere else; not only that but will also seek out a man/woman of God to justify your departure; to contradict the word spoken from the church you left. Did you leave decent and in order? You left a church with a seat in the front to seek validation in a church from the back pew.

HOW MANY DOORS WILL YOU WALK THROUGH??

GOD's eye are in every place Church Hopper; it doesn't matter what church you go to. God's word does not change. "You can run, but you can't hide." If you were wrong there, Guess what? You're still wrong! If you have a calling on your life: Guess what? You still have a calling on your life, Jonah. If it's right, it's still right.  if they are a true anointed man or woman of God, then the same Truth, the same Correction will be spoken in your life.

God's word is built on a sure foundation.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE WORD, TO FIT YOUR FLESH!!

Because the church did not validate you, now you have made you way back into the world and, Guess What? They will validate you because

John 15:19 (AMP) If you belonged to the world, the world would love [you as] its own and would treat you with affection. But you are not of the world [you no longer belong to it], but I have chosen you out of the world. And because of this the world hates you.
