So you think you can judge other people?
You are wrong!
You too are guilty of sin!
You judge them, but you do the same things they do.
So when you judge them,
You are really condemning yourself.
Romans 2:1-2 ERV
If you believe! If you trust God and His Word! Then don’t judge what the Lord Himself is responsible for judging! 1 Corinthians 4:4-5 instructs us to judge nothing before the appointed time, for it is the Lord who judges me and you! Wait till the Lord comes! He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of each person’s heart. For even though we believe our conscience is clear, that does not make us innocent!
Therefore, stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment (John 7:24). Listen closely to the words of Wisdom! Do not let them out of your sight! Keep them within your heart, for they are Life to those who find them and health to our whole body!
Yes, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life! Put perversity and corrupt talk far from your lips! Keep your gaze on God’s Word of Truth, for the Lord will make level paths for your feet and guide you to ways that are firm. Keep from evil (Proverbs 4:20-27 TLB), for it uses fear, hatred, deception…to cause us to swerve to the right or the left.
Trust God! Believe His Word of Truth! Confide in Holy Spirit, for He is our heaven-sent Life Coach! Holy Spirit guides us into ALL Truth. He does not speak on His own, only what He hears from the Lord. He brings glory to Jesus by taking from what is Christ’s and making it known to us (John 16:13-14).
Holy Spirit will prompt us to look for answers, for it is Truth that removes the questionings of fear and doubt and delusion. Holy Spirit sets us on a road of discovery about ourselves, about God and His Word.
Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the harmful tendencies people develop because of what sin and pride and fear produce not only in this world but within our soul because of Codependency, Emotional Trauma, People Pleasing, Confusion, Doubt, Delusion…All to keep our conscience muddied by what SELF produces.
God and His Word of Life and His Spirit of Truth will help us to strip ourselves of our former nature. They will help us to put off and discard our old unrenewed self, which characterizes our previous manner of living, and corrupts our soul, our conscience through lusts and desires that spring from what sin and pride and fear produce!
Father, Son and Holy Spirit will help us develop a fresh mental and spiritual attitude by constantly renewing our mind so we can put on the new nature – the regenerate self – created in God’s image in true righteousness and holiness.
God’s Word of Truth assures us, “The Father Himself loves you, because you love Me and have believed I came forth from God. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father,” John 16:27-28 BLB.
“I tell you the truth, in My Father’s house are many rooms, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me so you also may be where I am,” John 14:2-3.
The children of God should always be proclaiming, “God loves me! He will help me win! He will help me defeat my enemies,” Psalm 59:10 ERV. Yes, thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ
(1 Corinthians 15:57). Who is it that overcomes the world? Only those who believe Jesus is the Son of God! (1 John 5:5).
Therefore, let us stand firm so nothing can move us! Let us always give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because our labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). For in all things God has made us more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us (Romans 8:37).
Jesus is like a powerful soldier! He will save us! He will always continue to show how much He loves us, and how happy He is with us. He will laugh and be happy about us, like people at a party. For He takes away our shame. Yes, God sends His Word to make doubt and pride and fear stop hurting us (Zephaniah 3:17-18 ERV).
Our heavenly Father says, “I will punish those who hurt you. I will save My hurt people, and bring back those who were forced to leave. I will give them praise and honor everywhere, even in places where they suffered shame,” Zephaniah 3:19 ERV.
Let the Truth be manifest in us! Let us reject and be done with all falsity (Ephesians 4:22-25 AMP). For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of Power, and Love and Soundness of mind (2 Timothy 1:7 NTV), all of which we receive through His Word of Truth, Christ Jesus!
Our heavenly Father sends His Son and His Holy Spirit to help us possess a clear conscience even though we are not innocent of wrongdoing. God wants us to come to the Lord with perfect assurance and trust, so we can receive whatever we ask for because we are obeying His Word and doing the things that please Him, not ourselves or others.
This is what God says we must do:
Believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ,
And love one another!
1 John 3:21-23 TLB
