When I first spoke up about the Trayvon Martin case, it was not about race, it was based on Proverbs 31:8,9, speaking up for the oppressed, Psalms 82. It was about the Shedding of Innocent Blood. It was about Envying not the Oppressor, Proverbs 3:30,31.
I still hold to my first thoughts: the natural cause of the killing wasn’t race. The response however has been largely based on race, but more on socialist versus fascist political views. Socialist=left wing, Fascist=right wing.
For the antidote to the endless and divisive socialist/fascist dialectic, (a dialectic is an endless argument with no conclusion, meant to go back and forth forever like this run on redundant parentheses, done just to move forward in an upward spiral, because a conclusion would be an admission of absolute truth, and we can’t handle the absolute Truth, and the real power (the dialectic promoter) is charging for tickets and advertising, and just using the dialectic (war) to gain power over both sides and money for himself, so he doesn’t want absolute truth to end the dialectic war) check out this blog about Biblical Authority and Constitutional liberty. I say this is an antidote, not an alternative, because alternatives are just meant to alternate. Antidotes are substances that have the ability to counteract a poison, i.e, truth is the antidote for two alternative lies.
The case is actually very simple, if you think honestly and in a balanced way. George Zimmerman was probably not racist, just human. However, he instigated a conflict and killed another human. Innocent blood was shed. He may not be a ‘premeditated’ murderer, but he is guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Any law that excuses him is an unjust law.
I’ll have a blog coming up next week that will contain my thought process behind that. It will be a blog about Biblically deductive thinking skills. Its a doozy, so be on the lookout!
What did God say about it in the Bible? The first 10 people that can find me a scripture where God differentiates between pre-meditated murder and manslaughter can get a FREE copy of Killing Idols For Revival!
Dead Men’s Bones & Hypocrites Destroy the Legacy of the Next Generation
One of the stumbling blocks that God has shown must be removed in the Church is Dead Men’s Bones & Hypocrites. This is not really about who’s ministry is the most correct… this is about the children, and the next generation.
The Pharisees thought that they were righteous because they gave so much honor to the prophets of the past. But spiritually, they were prophet-killers, because they sought to kill the new message that God was bringing in their generation. In their zeal to protect and honor the old they destroyed their own legacy.
Jesus Christ is in charge of His Church. Holy Spirit is in charge of releasing fresh revelation of the Word in every generation. He reveals all truth (John 15). God’s mercy endures, His truth to all generations (Psalms 117).
New wine needs new wineskins. There are new movements, and therefore new organizations and organisms that God needs to build every generation. The new will not fit inside the old. But the new needs to honor the old, and the old needs to honor the new, so that both are preserved.
But unfortunately – in the history of the Church – new wineskins, new organizations, and new things that God is doing are attacked. Also, sometimes the new generation attacks the old.
When you worship dead men’s bones, and resist the Holy Ghost (what God is doing now), you end up just delivering lines with no real life in them. You end up being an actor. There’s no spiritual life in it – its just acting – so you end up dirty inside.
As I have been planning for my family and raising my first son, God has shown me that I need to pass on to my family more than what I know, and the doctrine I know. I need to pass on a hunger for God’s Spirit and what He is always currently doing. I don’t want my grandchildren worshipping my dead bones, or the dead bones of the founder of any church, denomination, or movement… because if so, they will end up spiritually dead and deaf to what God is doing in their generation.
You need an understanding of the Word and an Awareness of what the Holy Spirit did and is doing in every generation. A true spiritual legacy is humility and a hunger for the Word and Spirit of God. My children won’t survive on my revelation. They may die if that’s all they get, because the times will have changed.
Believe God for the Word and Spirit to fall on each generation. God will always do new things. The hearts of the fathers must turn to the children, and the hearts of the children must turn to the fathers (Malachi 4).
Let’s repent for worshipping dead men’s bones and resisting the Holy Ghost. Let’s repent for being actors with more allegiance to organizations and forms than to God. Let’s also honor the prophets and fathers of the past, but build upon what God showed them by digging into God right now.
Join us on Fridays leading up to The Call and join us at The Call in TRUE REPENTANCE….
Make your way to Detroit on 11-11-11 for The Call. Pray with us. Join people all over Detroit that are fasting and praying in preparation for God to do something BIG in our city, nation, and world… NOW. Yes, NOW.
Jesus Christ is marching and he’s Chopping Off Heads. Every thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of Christ is about to be dethroned (2 Cor 10). Just like Jehu, he’s about to get rid of Jezebel. He’s already been doing it, we just need to have an ear to hear and eyes to see what He’s doing. The Old Covenant version of Jezebel is the one that kills true messengers of God, and corrupts leaders. The New Covenant version (after she killed John the Baptist) version of Jezebel – her strategy is a little different.
I have blogged about Jezebel in the past, (3 Main Doctrines That Jesus Hates) as well as about this exact passage in Revelations 2 (How To Rule Nations and Governments). But in the past couple of years I have gotten a lot more understanding on Revelations 2. I explain a lot more of this through dream interpretations, testimonies, and scriptural revalations in my upcoming book, (Killing Idols For REVIVAL) but let’s take a quick look at Jesus explaining Jezebel’s new covenant strategies. Then we’ll look at how it relates to Detroit and Detroit’s influence on the nations of the earth.
Jesus is pleased with the Church, they work hard, they have love, service, faith… and their works keep growing. Jesus is pleased with everything except for a few things thing. It tolerates Jezebel.
In the New Covenant Jezebel calls herself a prophetess. She is tolerated by the Church, they let her teach God’s servants how to commit fornication and eat food sacrificed to idols. What’s the best way to teach? By example.
This is very serious. He gave her time to repent. But if she doesn’t, she will get sick, those that commit adultery with her will go into great tribulation unless they repent. Her children (so called spiritual fruit) will be killed with death. All the Churches will know the Jesus is not playing and His eyes are like fire, and they can’t hide.
If you overcome Jezebel, you will have a lot of authority over nations.
So let’s talk briefly about how the Church in Detroit has tolerated Jezebel, and how the Church can turn its heart back to God.
She teaches fornication. Naturally, fornication is having sex with someone other than your wife. Spiritually, its worshipping idols other than the Creator. These idols could be represented by power and influence or money and productivity (which is related to Baal, the OT Jezebel’s idol).
She teaches God’s servants how to eat food that has been sacrificed to idols. Naturally, this could be a piece of chicken that has been branded by Lucifer’s Chicken Shack. Spiritually, it could be a piece of music (an inanimate creation of God) that has been married to lyrics that worship false Gods.
Jezebel teaches God’s servants by example how to mix with the world, fornicate, and eat food (music) that has been sacrificed to idols. She does this as a minister from inside the church because they tolerate her.
Are you tired of seeing all the “top” gospel artists and big time preachers divorcing, committing adultery, partnering with unbelievers spiritually, copying and following secular artists, and copying unGodly business principles? The natural adultery and fornication only represents the spiritual adultery and fornication. They teach Jezebels doctrine by example… they say they do it to reach more people but Jesus sees through that lie. It may be thru ignorance, but its inspired by Jezebel for money and power. We need to repent and stop tolerating it. It more serious than we think, and its spiritually satanic, and its all our fault.
If that’s not enough for you to believe, wait until I share more info on this blog and in the dreams and testimony… When you bear fruit, God’s Word prunes you so that you can bear even more fruit! Even as a gospel dj, there are songs (even scriptural songs) that I played 3 months ago – that I won’t play now, because I fear God and I have a clearer view of Jezebels doctrine.
One morning a few weeks ago my wife had an open vision of some old, wooden doors opening and closing. We knew that God was opening and closing doors, but we didn’t really know the full interpretation. However, that same day, we ended up at the Motown Museum. I’ve lived in Detroit over 20 years and I’ve never been there, but all the sudden I was there that day because family came in from out of town and wanted to visit it!
Soon we understood that the doors God was closing was the door of God’s Levites being stolen from the Church. All the young musicians from God’s Church were seduced into singing for Money and Adultery. Motown’s first hit was “Money” That’s What I want. Their second hit was “Shop Around.” The Beatles first hit was a remix of “Money” That’s What I Want, written by Motown. The international, multiracial, and multi-genre influence of Motown is unfathomable. But it all came from God’s Levites being stolen from His Church.
God is closing those doors, and He’s opening the doors to the House of Prayer where God will be worshipped by His Levites, by God’s House becoming a house of prayer for all nations. A pure song that isn’t inspired by idolatry is soon to come. We won’t tolerate the secular remixes, or the regurgitations of idolatry in the church. Originality and Creativity is coming into God’s House of Prayer for All Nations, for we will worship and focus on the Creative God Who is Beautiful and Set Apart to Himself as His Own Purpose (Holy).
In the past few weeks, I’ve been there 3 times with different prayer groups from DaHOP, Burn, The Call, etc… More revelations, worship, and declarations come every time. We are excited that Jesus Christ is marching back into His temple, whipping out the money changers, turning over the tables, and taking God’s Levites back to sing a song that is Holy to the Lord and building Detroit into a House of Prayer, a City of Praise and Public Worship.
I will be sharing more of the research and scriptures on repenting from Toleration of Jezebel this Friday. We will be seeking to achieve the great repentance that is necessary to turn our city and nation around at DaHOP on Friday nights. Join us. Daniel turned a nation repenting and praying all by himself! So if 3 of you come and join us on Fridays leading up to The Call and join us at The Call in TRUE REPENTANCE…. What could happen in our nation?
Make your way to Detroit on 11-11-11 for The Call. Pray with us. Join people all over Detroit that are fasting and praying in preparation for God to do something BIG in our city, nation, and world… NOW. Yes, NOW.
On Adultery and Hypocrisy in Christian Artists and Leaders
As long as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been in existence, there have been false converts, weak brethren, false apostles, as well as honest believers that make mistakes. We all have been sinners at one time, and we still fight against sin.
There are plenty of pastors with children by different women in “their” congregation, and plenty of Christian artists that don’t live what they sing.
Even King David himself slept with his neighbor’s wife, and then killed her husband. However, God had mercy on Him, because David confessed and forsook his sin. Even then, David reaped exactly what he sowed. His own daughter was raped by his own son, then one of his sons killed the other… Then the son that killed the other son tried to kill him and takeover the kingdom! And his baby died. David had a brutal family life because of what he allowed into his family (2nd Samuel).
God is merciful and he will forgive you personally… (David was still considered righteous, and a man after God’s own heart, because of his repentant heart and faith in God’s mercy) but you will still reap what you sow! That’s an Immutable Spiritual Law.
7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6
Spirtual Law #2 – Confession and Exposure
Another scriptural promise that we should all be aware of is this: Whatever is done in secret will be seen in the light…
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:1
You CANNOT HIDE ANYTHING! It’s a spiritual principle! All sin is the result of believing a lie. One of the biggest and simplest lies satan tells you is that you are powerful enough to keep sin a secret. Its IMPOSSIBLE. The longer you delay confession the worse it gets for you.
This is why you must confess your sins. The bible says whoso hides their sins will not prosper or be successful at it or anything else… But whoso confess and forsakes shall have MERCY.
13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Proverbs 28
This is why I personally try to catch my sins in the thought stage, before they turn into words and actions. I know that God isn’t just on the outside of me, He’s inside of me looking at the video screen playing in my mind! If I notice myself lusting, or even cursing or saying non-blessings in my head, I’ll confess it to God while its still in my head. Otherwise, I know that I will reap what I sow, and I will not be able to hide it. It will be shouted from the rooftops and airwaves. Another benefit of doing this is that it builds intimacy, closeness and openness with God.
Ministry and Music
Do we throw away the Psalms because David sinned? No. Even the chapters before Psalms 51 are still scripture.
Do we throw away Proverbs because Solomon didn’t obey them? No.
Its the same thing with Christian music… If its Word-based, then its anointed by God. The Word of God is anointed. It’s our job to obey it and live it.
I always judge music by the lyrics. If I hear about a Christian artist that has sinned, I simply pray that they are restored, and have peace and righteousness in their life. Yes, I do get disappointed… but that doesn’t mean their music was ungodly.
Non Christians LOVE to see bold saints fall into sin, and they love to call them hypocrites, because they think it gives them an excuse not to love or believe in God at all.
BUT when judgment day comes, everyone will stand before God and be judged by God, and their own conscience will give witness that they are wicked without Christ’s mercy. There will be no excuses except the grace and mercy of Christ.
Instead of scoffing and laughing at Christians, professional sinners should tremble. Judgement only begins in the house of God (1 Peter), it doesn’t end there! When non-Christians see believers being exposed, they should not be haughty… They should actually fear God, and be careful to repent, because that means judgment is coming even harder and quicker for them! God always purifies HIS people first before the ungodly get theirs.
17: For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18: And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter 4
Hypocrite – definition
1. one who answers, an interpreter
2. an actor, stage player
3. a dissembler, pretender, hypocrite
A hypocrite is simply a person who is not true. They are actors in real life. Remember that Jesus said in Luke 12:1, the doctrine of the Pharisees was hypocrisy. They were actors and professional pretenders. They were pretending in real life!
Jesus promised that if you are a pretender… the truth will definitely come out. It’s a spiritual law.
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:1
So here is the option: you will either confess the sins, or it will be shouted from the housetops. Either way, there is nothing hidden. Exposure is inevitable! There is no need to gossip or spread rumors, because eventually, it will be heard in the light!
Judgmental?
Some people like to say that if you preach the Truth, you are being judgmental… and somehow that causes you to be a hypocrite. Please read this scripture aloud.
9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11: And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Cor 7
Well, is reading that scripture aloud judgmental? The issue is not the whether we can speak the Truth or not; the issue is: are we living the Truth, or being actors in real life?
Now on to solutions…
How not to Be an Actor in the Kingdom
Avoid Pride in Real Practical Ways
Sin gets in under pride… We put artists and popular ministers on a pedestal, when they should be equal (not just theologically, but practically). They don’t have good accountability and fellowship. They are put on a pedestal and cannot have shoulder to shoulder fellowship with saints, because they are on a higher plane… and always by themselves on a plane. Keep a true Kingdom lifestyle of humility, fellowship, and brotherhood. Make yourself equal to the “lowest” brother in you know in a practical way.
Don’t Be Contentious
One evidence of pride is contention (Proverbs 13:10). A minister or artist is beefing with someone, or in strife, and that’s how satan gets in. Satan also gets into marriages by pride, then contention. If you feel like you are in a contentious fight with someone, humble yourself and let them win. Speak the truth and your belief and move on.
Travel with Your Wife
We need to do the simple things like travel with our wives. Peter and the other apostles who were married (1 Corinthians 9:5) did this. If you don’t have a wife, bring your teammate. The new Testament is full of lists of Paul’s teammates; most of them were NOT his peons, slaves, or armor-bearers… most were his co-laborers, co-apostles, and brothers. Jesus didn’t even start His ministry until he had a team. Ministry is TEAMwork!
Fast Weekly
People don’t really obey Christ Jesus’s command to fast that much. If you are heavy in ministry you need to be heavy in fasting. Even if you’re not doing a lot of preaching you should be fasting regularly as a part of the kingdom lifestyle as a regular believer. (Matthew 6, Matthew 9:15). Fasting is brutal for your flesh, it helps keep you disciplined, and it just simply multiplies the grace on your life.
Get Off the Stage
Go house-to-house, not just stage to stage. Teach your sphere of influence to live the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God. Teach whatever scriptures you learn on a weekly basis. Do bible studies. Throw house parties. Host prayer meetings. People need brotherhood, house-to-house fellowship, and lifestyle discipleship, not just stage-to-stage-to-stage-to-stage ministry. Those days are officially over. Stage-to-stage ministry alone leaves people empty and immature as professional spectators. And by itself, it keeps you an actor on a stage.
Keep it 50/50
Match your ministry-to-others time with your ministry-to-the-Lord time. If you are hosting a 3 hour event, first minister to the Lord in your closet for 3 hours. You can call it “50/50.” This will keep you balanced.
This world is corrupt, our sin nature is real, and the devil is on the attack. But our Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World! In the Blood of Jesus Victory is guaranteed.
More Solutions
One of best books I’ve ever read on adultery, fornication, and marriage is “Why Some Christians Commit Adultery.” It has been recently republished as “Why Good People Mess Up” This book is detailed, deep, but surprisingly quick, easy to read, and full of real life stories. It talks about spiritual defilement, voyeurism, masturbation, psychological adultery, transference of spirits, dating, cultural strongholds, and much more! Order it here.
I am Truly THANKFUL to God for all of the Kingdom Promoters promoting Jesus thru live events and music!
Most people would think that a bunch of promoters would be jealous and competitive. But in the Kingdom of God it is the opposite!
We rejoice because the gospel of Christ is preached! (Phil 1) We can reach our entire state and nation for Christ if we operate NOT as one organization, but as one Mind and one Spiritual Body.
I encourage you all to:
Keep Faith First
– Use your promotion (message, music, and marketing) to preach the gospel. Do not hide the gospel to increase your promotion. The gospel is the power of God (Rom 1:16). If you use parables, then interpret them so that the meaning is clear, so you can make disciples (Matthew 13). Don’t ever sell out Jesus Christ. Our shield of faith is always up front for protection.
Preach and OutReach
– Hit the streets and promote the gospel of Christ. Always invite nonbelievers that you don’t know. Give away free stuff and do volunteer and outreach ministry.
Go House to House
– Teach your sphere of influence to live the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God. Teach whatever scriptures you learn on a weekly basis. Do bible studies. Throw house parties. Host prayer meetings. People need brotherhood, house-to-house fellowship, and lifestyle discipleship, not just stage-to-stage-to-stage-to-stage ministry. Those days are officially over. Stage-to-stage ministry alone leaves people empty and immature as professional spectators.
Stay 50/50
– Match your ministry-to-others time with your ministry-to-the-Lord time. If you are hosting a 3 hour event, first minister to the Lord in your closet for 3 hours. You can call it “50/50.” This will keep you balanced.
So last week I was at Saks (too many percents off sale) and my wife picked out this sweet shirt for me. I tried it on, and I Judged the sleeves it to be to short for my arms. So we got the blue one instead. Then there was one purple argyle sweater; I Judged it to be ugly on me. Now the green striped one; I Judged it to look nice! I love being Judgmental! Now I have this nice shirt and sweater!-)
Most of the time at lunch instead of eating food I Judge too be too greasy or too expensive, I just get a $5 Tuna on honey oat Sub from Subways (eat fresh:-), or a $5 chicken Shawarma from LaPita! I Judge them to be healthier, tastier, and cheaper! Being Judgmental keeps me healthy and saving money that I don’t need to be spending. It’s awesome!
As a dj, most of what I do is Judgmental. I have to choose which songs are hot or not, which songs have a message that I want to promote, and which ones are filled with curses and error that I won’t play. If I wasn’t Judgmental, I would be like all the wicked deejays who spin and promote sinful, curse-filled, prideful, mind-degrading music, and I would be in danger of God’s final Judgment.
Yes, God will Judge all humans.
27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment:
Hebrews 9
So I practice being judgmental in order to avoid being judged by Him
31: For if we would Judge ourselves, we should not be Judged. 1 Corinthians 11
Jesus said not to pass final judgment (that’s God’s job), or do unrighteous judgment.
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? Matthew 7
But He didn’t say we couldn’t Judge at all – Jesus said to Judge righteous Judgment:
Judge not according to the appearance, but Judge righteous Judgment. John 7:24
Is Judgement something I have to be quiet about? No. I also talk about Judgment.
30: The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of Judgment. Psalms 37
13: With my lips have I declared all the Judgments of thy mouth. Psalms 119
Paul reasoned with people of righteousness, temperance, and Judgement to come.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and Judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. Acts 24:25
We also grow from baby Christians to mature Christians by exercising our Judgment. We go from Milk to Meat.
13: For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14: But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5
The spirit of the Lord Judges for the poor and for those who can’t defend themselves, like:
unborn babies/ the environment/ oppressed people / slaves / the poor / those being taken advantage of / widows/ children/ humpback whales/ persecuted Christians / redwood forests/ unpaid preachers/ insert your righteous cause here.
But with righteousness shall he Judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4
Righteous men speak up for them also.
Open thy mouth, Judge righteously, and plead the cause of the Poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9
We also excercise righteous Judgement for widows and the fatherless children. (Psalms).
1: Give the king thy Judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2: He shall Judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with Judgment.
3: The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4: He shall Judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. Psalms 72
Learn to do well; seek Judgment, relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:17
Did you ever wonder: What are the most important themes in the Word of God? If I’m only going to study 3 things about God, what should I study? Well, Jesus already told us:
23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law: Judgment, Mercy, and Faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Matthew 23
So the MOST IMPORTANT, heaviest, weightiest parts of the Word of God are: Judgment, Mercy, and Faith. All THRE are the most important, not just one or two. These are the most important things to understand about Jesus and the Word of God. Who said that? Not me, but Jesus himself.
I remember one time recently that I wasn’t Judgmental enough. My sister and I did business with some people that said they were Christians, so we trusted them. Plus, the business worked. If it works, do it, right? That’s the American way. Wrong. We didn’t Judge them based on the truth, and we didn’t test their spirits. We didn’t want to be Judgmental.
Now the business is over, and one of the members stole a lot of money. (Not ours… Thank God). But it could have been ours. There were people that knew better, that didn’t say anything to us; probably because they didn’t want to appear “Judgmental.”
Now I LOOOVE being Judgmental! I realize that using good Judgment based on Gods Word and Spirit is what has kept me from a lot of bad decisions my whole entire life.
I remember Judging sisters to be my sister instead of assuming that every attractive female was my potential wife to date (1 Timothy 5:2). Then when God DID bring me my custom tailored wife, my Judgment was good enough to recognize her! Now we are more blessed than ever – all because we both are Judgmental.
God also tells us to test (Judge) the spirits, and see whether they be of God. For more on how to test spirits- see this article:
What about Love? How does that relate to judgment?
15: Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Amos 5
Notice how the love of good and hatred of evil is related to good judgment.
10: Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Psalms 97
People that love the Lord should hate things that are evil.
Let your love be without dissimulation (hypocrisy), abhor what is evil, love what is good. Romans 12:19
So guess what this means: People that claim to have Love, but call you a hypocrite for abhorring what is evil and loving what is good… THEY are actually the hypocrites, according to Romans 12:9. They have dissimulation in their love (hypocritical love). Their love is fake, because they don’t hate evil. Loving good and hating evil are two sides of the SAME coin.
I try to keep my love real… which is why I just LOOOVE being Judgemental:-) If you want to Judge righteously and live a good life, I suggest you study the Word of God, and ignore the word of man.
So what am I Judgmental of:
myself
my heart
my actions
the food I eat
the clothes I buy
what I do
the choices I make
the political positions I support
the causes I push
the ideas I promote
where I go
what I read
what I watch
what I listen to
who I follow
And if you don’t like what I Judge… Then why you Judging me for my Judgments?!-)
Kingdom people: Don’t be afraid to hate what is evil, and love what is good, and don’t let anybody intimidate you or shut you up. Your free speech is not only given to you by the US Constitution, but by your Sonship in the Kingdom of God!
Here is more encouragement for you:
21: Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22: And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 1
So God says that sometimes you have save people using compassion and making a difference… And sometimes you have to use fear and hatred. Who said that one… me? No. God did. Be led by the spirit. Let’s go from Milk to Meat saints.
To those of you who wonder where you will stand in God’s Final Judgment:
If you can admit that you have made bad Judgments in life… It’s not too late for you. Jesus dying on the Cross was actually Him taking God’s Judgment FOR you. If you believe in Him for that, He will be your SUBSTITUTE Punishment, and you can be righteous in God’s righteousness. God forgives people that confess and turn away from their sin. Then, you’ll pass God’s test on that final Judgment day. That’s called Mercy!
27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 9
Just be careful to be very Judgmental in all of your actions from now on. Ask God what to do. “Go and sin no more!” -Jesus
