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!

IF YOU FORSAKE FELLOWSHIP: YOU WALK IN DISOBEDIENCE

Father, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, that the lives of those reading this today will line up with your will and your word; I ask that you increase a level of conviction that will not be shrugged off or disregarded. It is my prayer today that your people be enlightened and transformed in mind and deed. Thank you, Holy Spirit for giving me a word to share with your people that will further commit them into righteousness. Amen

We are to pattern our lives after Christ, our most Holy and perfect example.

Like Christ we are to be Faithful.

We serve and all-knowing God, He knows our every thought; He knows what motivates our actions and what does not; He knows the intent of the heart and every hair on our head is numbered. There is nothing that God does not know about you. Like our natural parents: he knows when we are lying and he knows when we say, we can't or couldn't do something that we really could but did not; simply because, we did not want to and He knows when we are making excuses.

A lot of our Brothers and Sisters are missing the mark in this area. This is an open door, the enemy has been allowed to walk right on in because, he has deceived you into thinking there is nothing  wrong with missing church here and there; missing bible study; using your tithes to buy something new The enemy has deceives you into thinking this is okay, everyone does it and as a result you have become un-repentant.

You are the foolish one...

Disobedience and Lying. some Christians  have become so comfortable with it that it has now become a weekly and monthly practice. Your intent was to miss one service? That is all enemy needed, now you miss church a couple times a month, now you miss once a week and do not bother to even call anymore. The road to Heaven was paved with good intentions everyone has them but, hear me when I say, everyone won't make it in. It is a downhill slope and pretty soon the enemy will have it that you slip right on out.

THIS is the part where some will begin to say, "I am judging them"

What happened to Pressing towards the mark? The old school saints use to teach us to Press: that is to move or cause to move into a position of contact with something by exerting continuous physical force. In others words make an effort to move forward to reach your destination or intended goal without slacking . Phil 3:12-14. I use to shake my head when patients would call the physician's office to cancel an appointment because they were sick. Uh, Hello?? This is a doctor's office a place where you come to get treatment that let me know they didn't want help - It is the same thing in church everything you need is in the house of God, your healing- your deliverance- your victory- the word- and you can't press your way because of a headache? You cannot press your way because you are tired? You cannot press due to some friend/family obligation? You cannot press because you bumped your arm at work?

What You can't do is let your emotions dictate your destiny! 

What you can't do is Lie to the Holy Ghost!

"You don't know, what I go through."

My answer: You will never Get Through, if you don't obey and believe God.

 "You don't understand."

My answer: I do not need to understand, YOU need to know what the word says, you do not want me to understand; You want me to sympathize with you.

"You do not know, How I feel."

My answer: "Feelings do not move God, Faith moves God."

Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Read Hebrews 10:23-27,39

You can't ignore God will. What are you saying, that God can't heal a mere headache? Sometimes, we feed into the flesh without even realizing it. We also, can't avoid the process that God is trying to take us through to make us better. God also, knows when we are impatient and discouraged.  Do not let the enemy cause you to skip church because, you feel like God is taking too long. Do not Allow the enemy to make you jump the gun or take matters into your own hands because you think he is taking too long. You cannot hurry God, You cannot manipulate God to move before his appointed time. Wait.

 See Sometimes, We know exactly what we are doing and that's between you and our all-knowing God; the outcome doesn't change just because, man doesn't see what you are doing; but a man or woman of God He has gifted that can see nothing will be hidden. God may use a man or Woman of God to warn and speak life into you. If you refuse to hear that is on you. The Chastisement God exercises in your life is corrective and preventative. "Proverbs 13:1 A wise son heeds his father's correction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke."

The result of disobedience and forsaking fellowship:

• Chastisement
• Hinder your blessings
• Leave yourself open to the enemy
• Backsliding/ Apostasy
• Walking away from the covering of your church (Sin breaks fellowship)
• Sickness and Disease

We want God to change, manipulate, mold, shift and turn things in our Favor but we won't turn from the things that please our flesh, those things we know Do not please God. If when our blessing is delayed we blame the Man or Woman of god that spoke a word to you; We blame God and everyone but our own short-comings and Disobedience.

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!!!!!
