Judging Other People

What people see in others also exists in them. Yet, so many times, people are too eager to point their hypocritical fingers at others instead of realizing there is another finger on their hand pointing back at them.

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." (Matthew 7:1-5, NKJV)

In this particular passage from Matthew, God tells us that with the measure you use for others...it will be measured back to you. It is also evident when the judgment comes back on the people who are originally pointing their fingers at others. Therefore, look at yourself and judge yourself before even attempting to point out what you think you see in other people. Know and remember that the condemnation you receive from the judgment only comes for the devil---the accuser of the brethren---and not from our heavenly Father.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1, NKJV)

Our Father never points out our weaknesses, imperfections, flaws, struggles because He already took care of all of it on the cross for us. He lovingly convicts us of knowing better and doing better because of our righteousness in Christ. He already sees us as He sees His son, Jesus. Pure. Blameless. Above reproach. Righteous. Holy. Complete. Perfect.

So, don't believe nor receive the lies from the enemy of people's souls. Only believe and receive the truth from God and His word. It is absolute and eternal. And, the only word that truly matters at all.

(See Isaiah 53; Matthew 5:48; John 8:44; Romans 3:21-26; Colossians 2:9-10; Philippians 2:14-16; 1 Peter 1:13-16; 1 John 3:2-3)

Write the Vision

Then the Lord answered me and said:

"Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry."

(Habakkuk 2:2-3, NKJV)

What's the vision God has given you?

My vision consists of making disciples of all nations; preaching the Gospel; proclaiming the Good News to the poor; setting the captives free.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20, NKJV)

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

(See Isaiah 61:1-3, NKJV)

What exactly does it involve for you?

It involves speaking, teaching, preaching God's word all over the world whether in person and/or on-line via social media pages, blogs, podcasts, and other media.
