When And When Not To Judge

     Today we learn when and when not to judge. There are times saints should judge; but there are also times saints should not judge. On the one hand, Jesus said that spiritual saints should judge righteously in love at John 7:24 saying Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. And also pictured above 1 Corinthians 2:15 tells us But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. In other words, Jesus is telling us that when we are spiritual we should judge and cry out in love against sin, warning people to stop sinning with righteous judgment.

     But on the other hand, Jesus told us to not judge in anger as hypocrites noticing others faults when we have more faults. Jesus said at Matthew 7:1 Judge not that ye be not judged. Jesus spoke this to sinful hypocrites (not spiritual saints) saying at Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Notice that Jesus spoke this to hypocrites and not spiritual people at Matthew 7:5 saying Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

MICAH 3:8-9

But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord

and of judgment and of might

to declare unto Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin

Hear this I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob

and princes of the house of Israel

that abhor judgment and pervert all equity

     OK, notice that Micah 3:8-9 tells us that when saints are full of the power of the Spirit of the Lord, they have the power to judge in love and declare to sinners their transgressions and sins. The scripture says that when you are full of the power of the Spirit, you also have judgment. In other words, Jesus wants us to judge in love and speak out against the sins of same sex marriage, abortion, and fornication. Saints should not remain silent about these issues in order to save our kids from suffering and hell.

     For example, if we see anyone fornicating (having sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman), we should judge in love and warn the sinners about 1 Thessalonians 4:3 that says For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication (stop fornicating). That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour. Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God. 

     Did you know that fornication usually is the first sin stated in most lists of the bible that God wants us to avoid. In fact 1 Corinthians 6:18 tells us Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body (wow people that fornicate injure themselves and need to stop sinning). We need to judge in love and warn kids that today one out of two people have a sexually transmitted disease and many people get aids and the HIV virus from fornicating and die. 

     I tell young boys and girls to wait until marriage before they live together. Hebrews 13:4 says Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. But before people are married, 1 Corinthians 7:1 says It is good for a man not to touch a woman. I tell young boys and girls to just talk to each other before marriage. After marriage by a minister and not a worldy judge, it's a blessing for a man and woman to have a family with children and teach them about our Lord Jesus. 

     Alright, notice that Micah 3:9 tells us that when spiritual saints judge and declare sins to the people, the heads, princes, and leaders of a sinful country will abhor judgment and pervert all equity. Sounds like America today where many senators and governors hate spiritual saints that speak against the sins of same sex marriage, transgenderism, and abortion. These leaders in America pervert all equity. In other words, they pervert and speak against anything that is right, just, and correct like the bible. Currently in the state of California, political leaders want to ban the sales of bibles because bibles say homosexuals and lesbians go to hell with reprobate minds (Romans 1:28 and Jude 7). And Canada is putting preachers in jail for speaking against the sin of same sex marriage.

     We see that many sinners in America abhor spiritual saints that judge in love and cry out against sin when they say the following statements. Don't judge me. Who are you to judge? Mind your own business. We're not a judgmental church. We accept everybody; No exceptions. They were born that way. God made them that way. Leave them alone; they're not hurting anyone (wrong, they are hurting millions by forcing their perverted lifestyles that send people to hell upon our kids and killing 70 million babies with abortions). I'm gonna cry out against these sins to save our kids from suffering, death, and misery forever in hell. I can't remain silent and watch our young kids suffer from ignorance about the truth. Evil reigns when good men keep silent.

     Pictured above we see that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, like many leaders today in America, got angry when Lot told the people that their homosexual sins of wanting to rape men angels was wrong. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah abhorred Lot's judgment and wanted to kill Lot. The angels saved Lot and blinded the entire city of Sodom and Gomorrah, allowing Lot and his family to escape.

     A blessed man will rejoice when he is corrected and judged by a spiritual saint. Proverbs 27:5-6 says open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Like King David say Psalm 141:5 Let the righteous (The Word Jesus spoken by any spiritual saint in judgment) smite me; it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

     Brother Bob tells Jesus whoop my behind when I need correction Lord Jesus to make me a better person. In my flesh dwelleth no good thing, and Jesus I need your Word to correct and show me my sins daily. It's a blessing when our Father God Jesus corrects and chastens us by His Word to help us stop sinning so we can receive peace and blessings in this life. Thank you Lord Jesus for showing me at 1 John 3:15 that hate is murder, teaching my flesh to love my enemies to receive strength and peace because negative thoughts and words under our breath harm us. Now Brother Bob tells his flesh daily on a crowded highway or a crowded line at Walmart to bless rude people when my flesh starts complaining and speaking negative.

     After reading Brother Bob's testimony above, rejoice and say Hebrews 12:5 My son, despise not now the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him. For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

     Notice the wise saying pictured above at Proverbs 15:10 that says Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way; and he that hateth reproof shall die. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this does not hate Brother Bob's reproof today so they can live and escape the wages of sin which is death. Brother Bob says today repent, get saved, and stop the sins of same sex marriage, transgenderism, hatred, and fornication, confessing Jesus to be their God, and daily believing that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again.   

     Pictured above we see that God used a donkey to rebuke and correct Balaam from cursing God's people. The donkey spoke and warned Balaam about an angel with a sword ready to kill him if he cursed God's people. Balaam listened to the donkey's warning and lived by blessing God's people. Now if God can use a donkey to rebuke and correct Balaam, it doesn't matter who God uses to correct us. We should rejoice when any spiritual saint corrects us with the bible as a road map to guide us to a blessed peaceful life.

     Notice the other wise saying pictured above at Proverbs 17:10 that says A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. In other words be wise and let the rebukes and reproofs of instruction from wise spiritual saints enter into you so you can become a better person, rejoicing with a life of holiness. Fools won't change even if they are whipped and corrected 100 times. 

     Proverbs 27:22 tells us Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. In other words, if you place a fool in the company of a spiritual saint that tries to correct him, his foolishness will not depart from him. Lord Jesus help us to rejoice when spiritual saints rebuke and correct us in love because Proverbs 6:23 tells us reproofs of instruction are the way of life. If we change our sinful ways and live for Jesus daily, we escape misery, suffering, and death, receiving peace and blessed eternal life forevermore. 

     For my final thought today, remember that when we judge, we need to judge in love. Don't judge in anger thinking you are better than anyone. Philippians 1:9 tells us And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment. In other words let the love of our Lord Jesus be abundant whenever we judge anyone. We judge people because we love them and want them to escape the misery of hell. 

     Like Jesus our role model, we need to correct and judge people in love. Jesus corrected and rebuked the rich young ruler with love. Mark 10:21 tell us Then Jesus beholding him loved him (noticed that Jesus judged in love) and said unto him One thing thou lackest; go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven (defined as give to the storehouse; notice that the true tithe goes to the poor; it's OK to bless preachers also because the labourer is worthy of his hire) and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
