JUDGE NOT
Matthew 7:1..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. So many of us have judging spirits and we don't know or realize it. If we go to a different church and they don't look to suit us, we start judging and doubting them until it hinders the whole service. And we think in our minds that the service is so dead. We think we know why, "just look at the way the people act and look". They don't look or act like me and my church. Not knowing that you are the one that is, causing the service to be bound, with your judging spirits. When you repent and get your mind on Jesus, then the service breaks and God starts blessing. We judge by spirit not eyes. I and thousands of others have done the same thing.
Acts 10:13 ..And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14..But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15..And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common (unclean). Verse 17..Now Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean....(like all humans do).
I have had this verse come to me in services before, cause I was judging, with my eyes and didn't realize it. When I shut my eyes and repented, God moved on me to strength the spirit of God that was trying to meet the needs of the people. But couldn't for my judging eyes. When God got me straighten out not them, then he moved. Ever been there.
First Corinthians 12:1 thru 13. Speaks of the different gifts but all work by the same spirit.
14. For the body is not one member, but many.
15. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16. And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
Sound like me up above but in our on language, huh?
17. If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18..But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him (not us). It don't have to please us. 19..And if they were all one member, where were the body? How could we help each other if we all do the same thing. Everybody wants to be and do just like me. And the whole church wants to be just a like.
20..But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21..And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. I need my hands right now to type, later I will need my feet to walk. We are all time needing different things in God and one person or preacher can't give it to us. My hand is very important, but it can't help me when I need to walk. But I need them both and they are very important. I could't function right with out both. Same in God. I can't give you all you need, I can be a part, but there are others christians and ministers that can do and supply the parts that I don't have. Don't let a spirit take hold of you and make you think you are the only one got it. Or that one person has it all, and thats all you need. Some churches don't want there members to go no where else. I want them to go where ever the spirit of God guides them. For when I need something, and this one don't have it, he will guide me to the one that has what I need. Then I go back and work in my church and for God. Don't get carried away in you mind, through lack of knowledge. And think, that the one that God sent you to for help, is the only one that can now help you. It is who ever that God moves through and has the gift or work in their lives, that you need. Say if you need wisdom, you can't get it through someone that doesn't have that gift. And don't think that the one that don't have it, has nothing in God. He just has a different gift or calling. So many do this. I use to my self.
22.. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seen to be more feeble, are necessary;
I can't just live off of a prophets ministry. I need more. If all I ate was beans, my body would be lacking other vitamins that it needs.
23..And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24..For our comely parts have no need; but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part which lacked. 25..That there should be no schism (division) in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26..And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all members rejoice with it. If my foot hurts, my whole body suffers. Supppose to be the same, with the body of Christ. If you don't something is wrong with you. I'm not talking about fleshly suffering but spiritually. Our spirit can feel the pains of others.
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? 4..Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? REMEMBER THE EYES OF JESUS; WHAT WOULD HE SAY OR THINK. When these things start trying to take hold of us. Let's remember where we came from. What if people done us the way we are judging and condemning them. We all need a change to grow in God, getting different foods. everyone is to quick to condemn. Read the rest of 1 cor. 12: He gave some healings,some teachers,preachers,helps,etc,why? The church, which is us, the body of Christ, needs different things to grow properly.
IT'S NOT A ONE MAN SHOW
