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!

DOGS, PIGS and PEARLS!

Dogs, Pigs and Pearls

Saturday, January 14, 2017

Matthew 6:6,7

Do not give, what is Holy to dogs!

We are all ministers. We as ministers are to share the good news (gospel) with those that walk in the dark.

In the light of GOD'S word, the light that shines in and through us; it is our hope that - that man or woman would turn from their wicked ways and come to CHRIST.

This is not always the case. There are those that refuse to hear regardless, of the Truth.

There are those even in the church who dabble in their sin and their indiscretions and despite giving them a word of truth, a word from the Lord, speak life and warn; they from their seat on pew slowly return to their sinful ways (vomit) Proverbs 26:11. You can wash a pig but it will go right back out and roll in the mud again.

Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Uncle, Niece, Cousin, Usher, Deacon, Church Mother, Sons, Daughters, Musician, Minister, Choir director, Friend, Co-worker, Sinner, Etc.,

(Without passing Judgment, we are to judge with a righteous judgment. Compare their actions/life against the word of God tell them what the word says, this is righteous judgment.)

We are commissioned to share the Gospel; to warn to exhort unto righteousness but,…

HE did not commission us to "BABYSIT" the Un-righteous.

As a matter of fact, He instructed us Matthew 10:14 "…Shake the dust off your feet…" when they mock you; the word; reject; and disregard the word they are become as dogs and pigs that is scripture Matthew 7:6,7

Pearls were once considered a very valuable piece of Jewelry.

Therefore, when you find yourself trying to push, force feed the word of GOD you are subjecting yourself and GOD'S word to an individual or group who is rejecting GOD's word. (That is their choice, they have free will.) It is like trusting your valuables; your diamonds, your gold to animals who will only desecrate  it. FoR they are blinded (by satan) from realizing it's true value, saving grace, and power through the blood and  forgiveness of sins.

And, Woe to those who do know and shrug off Conviction! It is Willful Sin and they are Scoffers!

STOP! Trying to BABYSIT sinners, into salvation. You are only hindering your walk and your destiny dealing with those who refuse to hear. Walk away, continue to go forward; Most of all continue to let your shine  because they will continue to watch you walk even after you walk away.

It is insanity, to keep doing the same things over and over  and expect the result to be different.

Listen to your Spirit and seek GOD'S wisdom: when dealing with the unsaved the Spirit of discernment will reveal to you who hears and who doesn't.

The last part of our verse says, "…They will trample them under their feet ; turn again and rend you."

What does 'Rend" mean? Rend means: 1. to tear (something) into two or more pieces. Rip apart. 2. Cause great emotional pain to a person or their heart.

You have to keep in mind, When you are a Christian walking in righteousness living for God not only are you are an enemy to satan but you become an enemy to everyone who isn't a Christian and walking in righteousness, I told you before you can't trust everybody Holy Ghost so what makes you think you can trust those who do not have Christ? We Love family, friends, etc., but remember to whom you  yield yourselves servants to obey. YOUR LOYALTY SHOULD BE TO GOD! They will come around or they won't but you can't do what  God wants you to do if, you are waiting around for someone who won't hear. It's your job to catch'em- let GOD clean'em

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!!!!!

" MAKEUP MAY COVER A BLEMISH; BUT MAKEUP CAN'T HIDE SIN FROM GOD! "

SUB-TOPIC: BEWARE OF SECRET SINS!

The purpose of makeup is to Enhance Natural Beauty. It does nothing to Enhance the Spirit. Man seems to always find a way to change or add to the intention for which something was created.

Makeup is now used to alter, hide or change a persons Natural makeup (How we look without it) We use concealer to conceal what we consider flaws; We use foundation to to give our face a flawless appearance. A man can alter his complete makeup to make himself look like a Woman  and most men of the same gender do not know the difference.

But, MAKEUP CANNOT HIDE SIN
Once you set your mind to dabble in sin you have opened the eyes of God in your direction. See he knew your heart when you were contemplating sin.... HE IS AND ALL KNOWING ALL SEEING GOD. You may be able to hide a pimple or two from man but YOU CANNOT HIDE NOT EVEN A BLEMISH, FROM GOD!

Proverbs 28:13 (AMP)
He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and [a]turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy

Sin has a trickle down effect, one leads to another then, you begin lying to cover up your sins. ( Why you missed church, Why you don't fast? Why you haven't paid Tithes in the last few months?) Your excuses means nothing to God because, he knows your heart. Your excuses really do nothing for the man or woman of God you are telling them to because if they are Discerning THEY KNOW YOU ARE LYING ANYWAY.

John 3:20 (AMP)
For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned.

YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF UP TO LOOK HOLY ON THE OUTSIDE; BUT MAKEUP AND PLAYING DRESS UP DO NOT HIDE SIN FROM GOD!!

WHAT STUMPS ME these days is that :Men and Women of

God Instead of coming to JESUS admitting your mistake, repentance, getting it right and moving Forward in the Faith. Your Succumb to the Power of Pride and dig yourself a deeper hole leading to the pit of Hell.  Proverbs 16:18 (AMP)  Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Thank You, Holy Spirit
Father, I Pray that you Heal, Deliver and Restore in the name of Jesus!
Ref. Jer 16:17; Psalms 44:21; Rom 6:21; Proverbs 13:18

Church Hopper #4: Monkey see, Monkey Do (Conforming)

Holy Spirit, I am but a vessel use me as thou will; Have YOUR way, Lord!

When you are around UN-saved friends, family, co-workers, boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse:

I want to help you think of them as having influenza (The Flu), you need to think of Sin like a virus.  you are around people who are infected.. that virus will transfer from person to person, this includes your fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are not living the life

When you are in a room or around a group of infected people the likelihood of you becoming infected is Great; Than if you were around those who speak Life and who have Life in them

(The flesh is weak) The bible tells us come out from among them and be separate 2 Cor 6:17. God knows you but the enemy knows you as well and, will work through those closest to you, who know you. They will not have respect for the change in you. The world does not understand Spiritual things, they can't. The enemy will work diligently to pull you back in. Proverbs 1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

Do not think you can inject/hop yourself into the world or group in order to win someone to Christ. You must be Equipped, If you do not Strengthen the Spirit - If the Spirit is not Strong you open that door and allow the enemy to have dominion. The Spirit, is to have dominion over the Flesh!  Sin is contagious,.. if you are not rooted and grounded in the Word. Being separate, means we can't mix with worldliness. … Ephesians 5:11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

To CONFORM means to accept values, behaviors and ideas regardless of whether or not you agree; in order to follow the crowd.

Point: You Conform to what you Love!

Matthew 6:21 (KJV) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Hence my Topic: Monkey See, Monkey Do 

This Church Hopper tries to Blend in with the Church and Blend in with the World. COMFORTABLE CHRISTIANITY. This generation makes me Shake my Head (SMH) how many allow the devil to beguile them. God is NOT a God of compromise.

I have stated, many times You cannot Change the word, to fit your Flesh!

We are dealing with a Generation THAT DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH!! The enemy has come in and blinded the minds of The older generation to MODERNIZATION (CHANGING WITH THE TIMES!!) NO, NO, NO!!! What you have done Is: you have LEFT THE FOUNDATION to become COMFORTABLE!! And, You have now Conformed to the World.

It is a Sad Day we live in…

When we see Men &; Women of God change not to live unto Holiness but, to Accommodate the worlds perspective: Affecting the way we dress, The way we serve, Affecting the way we carry ourselves… and, How we represent our Savior.

The more you ingest worldly things - The more you open yourself up to be influenced; and, when you start to get influenced, you give over control because, you allow the world to set up you up as an accomplice to their sin.

If you partake with them; you partake in the guilt; you will be held accountable. Do not partner up with those who compromise their walk with Jesus!

Proverbs 4:14  Don’t enter into the path of the wicked.

Don’t walk in the way of evil men.

Psalms 11:3 The enemy is constantly attempting to erode and destroy the foundational truths of God’s word using distortions, corruptions, half-truths, and modern "interpretations", for he knows that “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Making Legal what God, declared Illegal:

You support what God has deemed an Abomination!

There is nothing new under the sun.

Eccl 1:9

That which has been is that which will be [again],

And that which has been done is that which will be done again.

So there is nothing new under the sun

We know, what is means to conform. Now, what does Comfortable Christianity mean?

People have become so comfortable in their sin that they  shrug off conviction and back -pedal into worldliness

If you are not seasoned, in the word (still on milk)

If you have not been completely delivered

If you have not changed your mindset

Like a vacuum, the world will suck you in

How is this Church Hopping, you ask?

You are Hopping from one Sin to the next

Monkey See - Monkey Do

Because, you see someone else compromise

You think it is okay? NO!! 

You are to restore your Brother and Sister in Love.

Other scripture Reference:
 Rom 6:16; 7:17-24;Jer 10:23; Ex 23:2; Titus 2:12; 2 Cor 6:17; Luke 6:46

Do You Show CHARITY For your Fellow-man

CHARITY

DO YOU HAVE ANY FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN

We ought to live by the Example set by CHRIST in EVERYTHING! Especially, in how we treat those who are Less Fortunate than ourselves.
Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Some have mistreated those who are unfortunate, children mock and do not show Honor to the unfortunate nor to Elders, some shirk at the thought of them, turn up your nose as you pass them.
This is a very sad day we live in! 

 But, What If... the very one - You would Not Help, was sent by HIM?????
We ought to show Compassion, Offer a Helping Hand God forbid if any of us may one day have to walk in their shoes or barefoot.

1 Corinthians 13:1-5
1 Though, I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,....

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.
