Judge-MENTAL Behavior Luke 6:37-38

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's all now turn to Luke, chapter 6, verse 37 through 38, if all would rise to read Luke 6, 37 through 38, judge not, and you should not be judged, condemn not, and you will not be condemned, forgive, and you shall be forgiven.

Luke 6:37–38

[SPEAKER_00]: Give, and it will be given to you.

[SPEAKER_00]: Good measure, press down, shaking together, and running over will men give onto you.

[SPEAKER_00]: For with the measure, you use, it will be measured onto you.

[SPEAKER_00]: Got blessed and honored, it was worthy, and you may be seated.

[SPEAKER_00]: We've all heard numerous times.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge not.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge not.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm sure you've heard it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you've heard it so many times, you don't know what to think about, except you're not supposed to use any judgment whatsoever, because people tell you to judge not.

[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, the moment you use any judgment whatsoever and spiritually speaking, people are ready to go like this and tell you to judge not.

[SPEAKER_00]: You realize it's not, you're being judged by using judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: So people are judging you about judging.

[SPEAKER_00]: So when people say, judge not, say, you judge not.

[SPEAKER_00]: a part of the scriptures, think about that, a part.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, what part of they're taking?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Matthew 7, chapter 1, our first one, excuse me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 7, verse 1, they're taking that.

Matthew 7:1

[SPEAKER_00]: And what does it say, Matthew 7, verse 1?

Matthew 7:1

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, first of all, we'll get to that in a moment.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can turn it if you like.

[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 7, verse 1 says, just not that you be not judged.

Matthew 7:1

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's all they know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why do they know that?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they know it because they take it out of context.

[SPEAKER_00]: They think that means you're not supposed to use any judgment whatsoever, but it does not mean what they think it means.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, and a couple weeks will talk more about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: The misunderstanding of the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know what the loss thinks that they know, but they don't know what they think they know.

[SPEAKER_00]: It does not mean what they think that it means.

[SPEAKER_00]: The lost judge is the same every single day.

[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know that you're judged every single day and you are?

[SPEAKER_00]: You're judged for coming to church today.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're judged.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're wholelier than now.

[SPEAKER_00]: You probably heard this before.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're wholelier than now for being here at church today.

[SPEAKER_00]: You think you're better than you are, just because you're saved by Jesus.

[SPEAKER_00]: You think you're so much better.

[SPEAKER_00]: They judge you every single day because they don't realize that they do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they do.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're blind, they're spiritually mentally incapable to understand the word of God, but they think they know it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Folks, by the way, you are the same way until you were saved by the blood of Jesus Christ.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Holy Spirit came in and saved you and gave you vision that you didn't have on your own.

[SPEAKER_00]: You remember when you were saved for the first time and suddenly you started seeing better and understanding you started feeling guilty about certain things that you did before?

[SPEAKER_00]: You remember that I do?

[SPEAKER_00]: I was just a little bitty, but I remember it

[SPEAKER_00]: they can't control their behavior.

[SPEAKER_00]: The title today is German as Judge Mental Behavior.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge Mental Behavior.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's on an almond ward as a couple of words put together.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge Mental Behavior.

[SPEAKER_00]: You are called Judge Mental every single day.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're so Judge Mental for using the Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: But they don't know that's what it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're Judge Mental.

[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that taking a picture of me back there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just mental behavior, people are using judgment to behavior they believe that you're judgmental, but in reality they're being judgmental about you using judgment of the Holy Spirit and they don't realize it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, the question then becomes judge or judge not.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the big question, the big judging question.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's take a look at Matthew chapter 7 verse 1 through 5.

Matthew 7:1–5

[SPEAKER_00]: There we go, that's better.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it says a Matthew chapter 7 verse one through five.

Matthew 7 · chapter mention

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you've turned to it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It says, judge not that you be not judged.

[SPEAKER_00]: As I said, that gets misused.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not all that says.

[SPEAKER_00]: Does not that you be not judged for with that what judgment you judge, you will be judged.

[SPEAKER_00]: And with the measure you use, it will be measured again for you.

[SPEAKER_00]: And why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye?

[SPEAKER_00]: But do not consider the plank that is in your own eye?

[SPEAKER_00]: Or how will you say your brother let me pull the speck out of your eye when the log is in your own eye?

[SPEAKER_00]: You hypocrite.

[SPEAKER_00]: First take the plank out of your own eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then you will see clearly to take the spec out of your brother's eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, there are different versions and all means the same thing, but one of the versions is to take the note, the spec, the little bit, a little bit of spec out of your brother's eye when you have a note in your eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, never want it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not saying that your brother's not wrong, your brother, your sister, Christ.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not saying they're not wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: They do have that.

[SPEAKER_00]: wrong thing in them.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it's saying that you have more wrong with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's saying you hypocrite first take what is wrong out of you.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then you can help them to remove what is wrong out of their own eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, it's not wrong to use judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, you're supposed to use judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: But first, you cannot do a hypocritically.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have to be have that thing removed from you first.

[SPEAKER_00]: How many people you see online or on television or on the news?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, how wrong they are to say this is wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody's wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: God loves everybody.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, God loves you.

[SPEAKER_00]: He loves you enough so that he can correct you.

[SPEAKER_00]: When you're a little, I don't know if you this way, maybe you had a brother or sister, maybe you didn't, but I know one thing, when you're a brother or a sister and you're little, you're trying to get away with stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: If your brother lies and you, they, oh, I got something on them and you might try to use it later.

[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is, it's not what your brother does, but what you do?

[SPEAKER_00]: If you've done wrong, you're in trouble because you've done wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about your brother's eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about your sister's eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not saying that they should get away with nonsense, but God take care of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You worry about yourself and if the question comes up of what they're doing is right or wrong, be honest, be loving, but be honest.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I got news for you.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're not being honest with them about what they're doing that is wrong, you're not being loved.

[SPEAKER_00]: you're not being loving at all.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, we live and let live.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, listen.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're letting a person live when they're doing sinful stuff and living in sin, that's not living at all.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's letting them be on their way to hell and I'm not talking about those who are saved.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're still sinning.

[SPEAKER_00]: We should correct them out of love and compassion.

[SPEAKER_00]: But you're letting a person on the way to hell think they're going to have a winner not.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's not living at all.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's take a look at the word judge.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've preached this about almost four years ago, at least parts of this.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's take a look at it again, three types of judging that the Bible talks about.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of the three definitions of the word judge, three definitions.

[SPEAKER_00]: The word judge here has three definitions.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge number one is an opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people think their opinion is always right, but they're wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody has an opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: and a lot of them stink, we'll get to that later.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then there's Judge number two, and that's spiritual assessment.

[SPEAKER_00]: Spiritual assessment, this really is at our place.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the place of the Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that too.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge number three, condemnation, to condemn, to condemn.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's look at Judge number one, the opinions.

[SPEAKER_00]: sometimes when we have an opinion, it's not always an opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes it's our emotion.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe when you judge something from an opinion, for instance, let's just take it this way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes someone says, oh, I love the vision about some time after the original, not these new wicked nods.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I say that because wicked is in connected to the original books.

[SPEAKER_00]: They've taken their own liberal idea of what

[SPEAKER_00]: It should be and they've changed that the wicked witch is in the villain.

[SPEAKER_00]: She's the good guy and the wizard is the bag of all this nonsense anyway I won't even watch him because I know so the fact is I love the original wizards loss, but some people might say I don't like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's too old I can understand when I child my say that, but here's the truth.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love that movie, but not everybody has the like it

[SPEAKER_00]: Nightmare has to like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now I can be sarcastic say, now everybody has to have good taste.

[SPEAKER_00]: I won't do that because that's it's a little facetious, but the fact is, not everybody's got to like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's all right.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have to like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that all comes to an opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's just an opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: So opinions sometimes are emotional.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, for instance, maybe something your grandmother had you watching when you used a kid.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your grandma had to watching Donald the Wind.

[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, it's came out the same year, and I did 39 as a Wizard of Oz.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was the never one movie of the year and never one movie of all time for many years, Donald the Wind.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not my favorite movie, but I like it because it reminds me of my grandmother, you know, good film.

[SPEAKER_00]: And anyway, sometimes people mistake emotions for spiritualism.

[SPEAKER_00]: They think that what is emotional is of the spirit of God.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not necessarily.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, just because you're being moved emotionally, doesn't mean it's God telling you something.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're just being moved because you are emotional about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So be very careful.

[SPEAKER_00]: Do not get the two mixed up.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oftentimes, the worldly can get these things mixed up,

[SPEAKER_00]: And we too, even saved, can get the two mixed up if we're not careful, because we're getting our emotions mixed up with the spirit of God.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we got to be careful.

[SPEAKER_00]: So Romans 14 verse 1 says this, what does it say in Romans 14 verse 1, welcome him who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of arguing over opinions.

Romans 14:1 Romans 14:1

[SPEAKER_00]: Young and the spirit need to have Tinder care over them.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it's saying to us.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have new brand new Christians come in and they're going to be ignorant.

[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't mean stupid.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they don't know any better.

[SPEAKER_00]: But when you're young in this spirit and they're just learning, everybody knows everything right away.

[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I don't know everything.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm learning all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: Every single day, God shows me something.

[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes, God shows me something that says, hey, Pastor, you are fellow because they feel him.

[SPEAKER_00]: You remember the only thought this, this, this, and this, 20 years ago?

[SPEAKER_00]: That's not what it meant.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Holy Spirit shows me what it meant.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I go, whoops.

[SPEAKER_00]: instead of freaking out and thinking, why did I do that, oh my goodness, and wanting to call everybody up and say, oh, I was wrong, I was like, just correct yourself for your hat and God will help you and you'll grow maturely.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it takes time and that's okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then if the person from the past comes to you and says, hey, I remember when you used to say, so yeah, I was wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I was correct.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't let your pride get in the way.

[SPEAKER_00]: You grow with it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It'll help you.

[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: But guess what else it says in 1 Corinthians 6, 1 through 3.

[SPEAKER_00]: 1 Corinthians 6, 1 through 3 says, dare any of you having a matter against another go to the law before the unrighteous and not before the saints, meaning saved, do you not know that the saints

[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to judge the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we're not talking in the last days like a Psalm day.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, you're judging the world now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, that doesn't mean you're above them.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about God through you.

[SPEAKER_00]: But let's only say, do you not know that the sensual judge of the world, if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

[SPEAKER_00]: Do you not know that we shall judge angels come out someday?

[SPEAKER_00]: We're to judge the angels.

[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, when we're in heaven, how much more the things that pertain to this life?

[SPEAKER_00]: So I realize that we're fail, we fail.

[SPEAKER_00]: I realize we've made mistakes, but the judgment that we have over them is not because you're better than others, but greater is he who is in you, as we say so often, first on four, four, greater is he who is in you than he who's of the world,

[SPEAKER_00]: You have judgment of the Holy Spirit through you, and you know these things because of the world, at the word, this is why we're to be in the word continuously learning.

[SPEAKER_00]: Letting God continuously correct us, make us a better person so that the judgment of God to come through us and to us and to others too.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to believe that I'm telling you to go out tomorrow and correct your neighbor.

[SPEAKER_00]: and correct this person.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you was wrong with your yard?

[SPEAKER_00]: You're not cutting it correctly.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about when God opens the door, spiritually speaking, God is going to open the door and they're going to come to you and say, just something wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know what it is, but and they're going to ask questions, spiritual questions.

[SPEAKER_00]: I suggest to you to all I say, well, according to the Bible, I will say according to the Word of God, the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to quote me, but always go to the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, what if you can't remember where it's at?

[SPEAKER_00]: Look, that's what two great things you have.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can call me and I will look at a book.

[SPEAKER_00]: Here's a great thing about having a smartphone.

[SPEAKER_00]: Always remember two or three words for a minute and say, thou shout not in whatever and look it up on your phone and you will find it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, don't always do what your little smart phone computer tells you to do, go to the word it's self.

[SPEAKER_00]: Find it for yourself.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you do that, you'll be able to find the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if you're having a hard time understanding it, or maybe you found part of it, but you can't remember the rest of it, then call me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I will gladly help you.

[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe I can't find all of it, but there's others who can.

[SPEAKER_00]: Some people have spent 20, 30, 40 years learning about certain things of the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: This helps him in these moments.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge number two, Judge number two, spiritual assessment.

[SPEAKER_00]: Spiritual assessment means biblical evaluation.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the Holy Spirit estimation.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it oftentimes includes all of these things.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've been in a position where you've been out there in the world and you just look at someone.

[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, I'm not talking about you just sitting there going, boy, look at how much airy, no, my goodness.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about that kind of judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's an opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know there's what people don't have to mean.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about spiritual assessment.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about, you've looked at someone and you could tell something's going on in their life.

[SPEAKER_00]: And why?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because you're just so smart?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because the Holy Spirit is spoken to you.

[SPEAKER_00]: post spirit of spoken to you and it's told you something about that person.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're been in a hospital and you see someone saying there and they look bothered and you don't know what it is, but you feel the Holy Spirit is telling you to go to them and tell them that God is with you and he loves you so very much.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've done that before and I don't even know this situation.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to know and sometimes a person starts breaking down crying and they'll either hug or they'll put their hand on mine and they'll ask we say thank you sir and and I

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll say, through something about you, I said, well, I'm a pastor.

[SPEAKER_00]: But then I didn't have anything to do with it, by the way, you don't have to be a pastor to have the whole spirit speak to you.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have the same spirit I do.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm talking about the whole spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have the exact same spirit talking to you that talks to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Pastor, you don't understand.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to understand.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have to say spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: The moment you're saved, you have the Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, you have to grow with it.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is biblical.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are to use that judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're to use that biblical spiritual judgment on everything around you.

[SPEAKER_00]: When you're watching something, you shouldn't, you know.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it happens when you see something, I can handle it a little bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about language or whatever.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And everything has it now.

[SPEAKER_00]: They said, you notice that even kids movies has it now days.

[SPEAKER_00]: My goodness, it surprises me.

[SPEAKER_00]: The things I think, oh, this will be a family show.

[SPEAKER_00]: Even family movies nowadays has things that should be in there.

[SPEAKER_00]: And like, well, you know a lot of times, they won't be afraid of G to films nowadays.

[SPEAKER_00]: They will purposely put stuff in there because people don't know what you're at a G anymore.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that is shame.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that horrible shame, they'll purposely put that fit in and make a P.G.

[SPEAKER_00]: because G is just too good to use.

[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that awful?

[SPEAKER_00]: So they don't want that anymore.

[SPEAKER_00]: But we are to use judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're to use judgment, spiritual assessment, judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: What does it say in John, chapter 7, verse 24?

John 7:24

[SPEAKER_00]: John, chapter 7, verse 24, Jesus says, Jesus says, and you can't

John 7:24

[SPEAKER_00]: Go against Jesus.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus says, do not judge according to a parents, but practice righteous judgment, where to practice righteous judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, evaluation, estimation through what?

[SPEAKER_00]: The Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't because you come to church today.

[SPEAKER_00]: that you have this.

[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't because you're watching today at home, watching an extremely handsome pastor with a wonderful head of hair, which is the belong to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna tell you that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not those things.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Bible talks about the Word of God gives us guidance.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the Word of God does.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it's the Holy Spirit that tells us and shows us what is true in the Holy Spirit, the whole Word of God is true.

[SPEAKER_00]: the whole word of God has true.

[SPEAKER_00]: But what I mean by that then, I mean that people take the word of God and misuse it all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, a couple of days ago, I'm not going to tell you what I was talking about, but there was a person, a famous person, and a person was trying to say where the

[SPEAKER_00]: And they were trying to say, the Bible says spare, you know, bring the children unto me, blah, blah, blah.

[SPEAKER_00]: They were misusing that scripture, the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the funny part.

[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see they use that scripture.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I had just used that scripture, that very scripture, I used it and they used it.

[SPEAKER_00]: We both used it for two different reasons.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mine was not to keep children from coming to Christ.

[SPEAKER_00]: And theirs was to teach children,

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but doesn't mean just a teaspoon or anything and everything, it means to bring the children under God so that he can taste him correctly.

[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean that you bring him to worldly teachings.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not saying that teaching ABC is wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're trying to teach some sort of political nonsense underneath that, that teaches him to go away from God and to be done with Israel and to support you, praying folks, that's not right.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it's funny how someone to take the exact same scripture

[SPEAKER_00]: why?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because they're taking the Word of God out of context and they're not using the Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: But where do you use the Holy Spirit like the Holy Spirit teach us through it?

[SPEAKER_00]: So what does it say in Hebrews chapter 4?

Hebrews 4 · chapter mention

[SPEAKER_00]: Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12?

Hebrews 4:12

[SPEAKER_00]: Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12 says, for the Word of God is alive.

Hebrews 4:12

[SPEAKER_00]: active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of the soul and spirit of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intense of the heart.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the word of God.

[SPEAKER_00]: It knows everything every moment is able to judge our thoughts.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then it tends to the heart.

[SPEAKER_00]: It can judge us.

[SPEAKER_00]: It can help us to judge better than what we do on our own.

[SPEAKER_00]: It can help us in every little way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Galatians 6-1.

[SPEAKER_00]: Galatians 6-1.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can write it down if you're not able to turn to it in time.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm...

[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to go quickly.

[SPEAKER_00]: The nation's sixth one, brothers, if the man is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in the spirit of weakness, watching yourselves less you also be tempted.

[SPEAKER_00]: We can easily be tempted Christians, every single one of us can be tempted.

[SPEAKER_00]: Every one of us can be tempted to go into the ways of the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge, right to sleep.

[SPEAKER_00]: What does it say?

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge, right to sleep.

[SPEAKER_00]: Open your mouth, judge, right to sleep, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we should help those around us, the poor and the needy.

[SPEAKER_00]: But we're the judge, right to sleep.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're the judge, right to sleep.

[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't say, stay there and shut up and do nothing.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, we're the judge, right to sleep.

[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians, 2015.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's the last one in this area.

[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians, 2015.

[SPEAKER_00]: but he who is spiritual judges all things.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say it again.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's not the last of the verse, but listen what it says.

[SPEAKER_00]: But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is not judged by anyone that means by the lost.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to get judged all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, by the way, your judge is Christ.

[SPEAKER_00]: Your judge is God.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about the people of this world.

[SPEAKER_00]: They can't judge you.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how about your spirituality.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about your behavior on earth.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're doing something worldly and wrong,

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and you put that before you.

[SPEAKER_00]: But as far as this world goes, they don't have the ability.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have the assessment to judge you in your spiritual life.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about legal life.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're doing something illegal and wrong, well, you're wrong, and you should be judged.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm talking about your spiritual life.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have the ability.

[SPEAKER_00]: One thing that Jeremy and I were talking about earlier and the rest of us in Sunday school, we were talking about being on the internet.

[SPEAKER_00]: Facebook, whatever version, take talk, anything.

[SPEAKER_00]: One thing people love to do is try to tear you apart.

[SPEAKER_00]: They want tear you apart.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and you think you know God, you think you know the word, blah, blah, blah, and they try to tear you apart.

[SPEAKER_00]: They try to judge you for every single syllable.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've had this with your own family.

[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I'm not trying to attack anyone.

[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're being assessed and judged by people who don't know God, they don't have the right to judge you.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like your little child judging you for getting on to them if they've done wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: If your little child has had to be corrected and put in a corner, let's say, or whipped, or whatever it might be that you do to your child, they don't have the right to judge you.

[SPEAKER_00]: You've been put in a position by God.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have the right to say, Mom and Dad are big meanings.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have the right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying you had the position that your supposed to go around and judge the whole world and say, you're going to hell and you're going to hell.

[SPEAKER_00]: All these people are going to hell.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, God is the judge.

[SPEAKER_00]: But you are being sent here to judge what is spiritual and what is right and what is correct and what you should be involved in and what you should not.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if somebody is in your life, that God wants you to help to correctly put them on the right path, tell them.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is what God has shown me through the Holy Spirit in His Word.

[SPEAKER_00]: Have scripture to help them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Do not get involved with these spiritually incorrect things.

[SPEAKER_00]: Folks that happens with me all the time, online.

[SPEAKER_00]: I get yelled at, I get cursed at.

[SPEAKER_00]: I understand all that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know what's gonna happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It makes me uncomfortable.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I feel uncorriged in courage.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the word is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I feel lack of courage is due.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if I do it anyway, they yell at me.

[SPEAKER_00]: They curse it.

[SPEAKER_00]: They say mean things and I wanna attack back and I don't.

[SPEAKER_00]: I still tell them what God says and I go on from there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why does greatest use in me, the use of the world?

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not gonna,

[SPEAKER_00]: go into their direction.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not going to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Judge number three, judge number three, condemnation to condemn.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is the place where we need to be careful.

[SPEAKER_00]: Too many Christians who have condemned, we are not the condemneders.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are not that judge.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are not the one that says, I don't like this person who cut me off on the highway.

[SPEAKER_00]: I condemn them into the blazes of hell.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not your place to say, who isn't it?

[SPEAKER_00]: Who isn't going to hell?

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, by their actions, they are known.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if they are proudly saying, I don't believe in God, I don't believe in Jesus, and I know that I don't need them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Though we know until or unless they ask Jesus to save them, we know where they're going.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not because you're greater than them, but because they have made it well known.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of my all-time favorite actors, action actors, is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love him.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's one of my absolute favorites, and I love him.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love him so very much, but he came out just this month, talking about, and I'm talking about September, at least September, talking about how he doesn't believe there's any place to go when you die, when you die, you die.

[SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't asked Jesus to save him.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have been praying for him.

[SPEAKER_00]: We prayed for him this Wednesday.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to keep praying for every single day.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because the problem is, is when he dies, he's not going to be back.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to be coming back.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to be in the depths of hell.

[SPEAKER_00]: Unless he has Jesus Christ to save him.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now we understand, for over 50 and for over 60 years, he's been in Hollywood.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's been brainwashed in all these things.

[SPEAKER_00]: And this is what happens when you are brainwashed by these people, you use stupid judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm talking about any of us and all of us who don't have Christ.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's pray that God will help him because I don't want him be condemned.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want anyone to be condemned.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's where we have free will and pray that he will come to true understanding of Christ.

[SPEAKER_00]: Romans chapter two verse one through three says,

[SPEAKER_00]: For when you judge another, you can dim yourself.

[SPEAKER_00]: For you who judge do the same things, but we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who commit such things.

[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think, oh man, who judges those, who do such things, and who does the same thing that you will escape the judgment of God?

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, what does that mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you've ever read Romans chapter one, it's talking about those who are living in sin, homosexuality and other things, and it's talking about those who have said their Christians, and yet they go back into living sinful lives, and then they're condemning all those who are living sinful lives.

[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine me right now, living a sinful, horrible life, whatever it might be.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yet I'm up here condemning others.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would be just as condemned as they would be.

[SPEAKER_00]: If that's what it was, it's not, but let's say it was.

[SPEAKER_00]: Have about James chapter 4 and 11 through 12.

James 4 · chapter mention

[SPEAKER_00]: James 4 and 11 12 says, do not speak evil of one another, brothers.

[SPEAKER_00]: He who speaks evil of his brother and judges in brother speaks evil of the law.

[SPEAKER_00]: And judges the law.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

[SPEAKER_00]: There is one law giver who's able to save and to destroy who are you to judge another.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now this is what people take at our context is saying, we don't need to say this person's going to hell and that person's going to hell, we need to say only through Christ who is that law giver, that's why it's capitalized, only through Christ can we go to heaven.

[SPEAKER_00]: So pray for those who are probably saying that they don't believe.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's how we know, but there's many people who believe they've saved when they're not.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Bible tells us that Jesus says that.

[SPEAKER_00]: We pray for him.

[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians 4 or 5.

[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, judge nothing before the appointed time until the Lord comes.

[SPEAKER_00]: He will bring the light, the hidden things of darkness, and will reveal the purposes of the hearts.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then everyone who will have condemnation, everyone will have condemnation from God.

[SPEAKER_00]: Who's the judge?

[SPEAKER_00]: The Lord God.

[SPEAKER_00]: God is the judge.

[SPEAKER_00]: And who is the one who stands before him as

[SPEAKER_00]: as basically the lawyer.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus will step before them.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love this old video that I saw.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've mentioned it before.

[SPEAKER_00]: Probably in a sermon don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I love this video.

[SPEAKER_00]: This singer who I used to watch called Carmen, he played the judge, he played the lawyers.

[SPEAKER_00]: And as the lawyer was just supposed to be like a devil trying to condemn a song to hell.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then he stepped up and

[SPEAKER_00]: they play the matlock and music and he played all these Perry Mason and all that music and whenever it comes time for Satan he's mentioning all of our sins and there's this wonderful black man who they're trying to condemn and he's nervous because all these sins get mentioned but you know what happens.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus stands up to be the one who is protecting him.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he says, I don't see his name in the book of sin.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but wait, there's another book.

[SPEAKER_00]: He looks into the name of the lands book of life.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he finds his name and, of course, the devil lawyers, all upset, but the guy who had been condemned or they tried to condemn was thrilled and happy.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what's going to happen to you, Christian.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have sin in the false order of glory, God.

[SPEAKER_00]: raiders, he who's in you, and he who's of the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: The very one who condemns you every single day, we're not thick of dim mothers, but we are to use the judgment of the Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are to know what's right and wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can tell who's saved and lost by what they say and by their actions.

[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't mean you're going around saying, you're going to hell and you're going to hell and you're at the same time, you are to use a assessment of the Holy Spirit and use the Holy Spirit to speak to you

[SPEAKER_00]: bring them over.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, you bring them over?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Holy Spirit brings them over to the correct line.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they will be in the lands book alive.

[SPEAKER_00]: One last scripture over there.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I say to you that for every idol word that men speak, they will give an account on the

[SPEAKER_00]: For by your words, you will be justified and by your words, you will be condemned.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, although we're speaking about judge and judge not, who we spoke about Matthew chapter seven, one through five, and it's really kind of interesting.

[SPEAKER_00]: I picked out a tie this morning to where what you can't see right now, but it's interesting on that tie.

[SPEAKER_00]: It says knock knock knock, and it's still Jesus at the door.

[SPEAKER_00]: knock and it shall be given a new seek and you should find.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's interesting is I didn't realize when I chose to tie, I just need to something that was black that wouldn't go against this.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's interesting is that it's also a Matthew chapter seven.

[SPEAKER_00]: Verse seven, I didn't realize it at the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now Jesus might be knocking on your door.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've already asked you to use any heart, maybe you have it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if you haven't, don't let this day go by.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let it be the He is the one who steps up for you when your time of judgment comes.

[SPEAKER_00]: because it could very well be that it's any time now.

[SPEAKER_00]: We never know the date or the error that we leave.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, a few weeks ago, we lost some loved ones of this church, and they've gone to be with the Lord.

[SPEAKER_00]: The beautiful thing is they didn't wait till last month.

[SPEAKER_00]: They did it right away.

[SPEAKER_00]: They asked you to listen to heart, and we know they're with him right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to be judged because they are already in the lands of the life, and we know that.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's beautiful.

[SPEAKER_00]: Your day of judgment,

[SPEAKER_00]: may or may not come depending on where you are at.

[SPEAKER_00]: You've been judged, but your judgment depends upon where your name is written.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is Jesus written on your heart?

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus is in my heart.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hope he is yours too.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are to know what's right from wrong, right and wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't know what is right, you don't know him personally.

[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't mean you don't make mistakes.

[SPEAKER_00]: We all do.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's not to justify it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's still wrong, but he will help us.

[SPEAKER_00]: How can you point to Jesus if you don't know what's right?

[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't do what's right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, we might say.

[SPEAKER_00]: Who am I to judge?

[SPEAKER_00]: We might say you've heard all this before.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you made to feel that way if you ever point to the Bible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Who am I to judge?

[SPEAKER_00]: You've heard that statement a million times.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why?

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what the world wants you to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: So what they want you to do?

[SPEAKER_00]: Who am I to judge?

[SPEAKER_00]: The feelings come and go, but eternity is forever.

[SPEAKER_00]: Those feelings of who am I to judge?

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to go, but eternity is forever.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if the person doesn't have Christ,

[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to go to eternal hell.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we don't want that.

[SPEAKER_00]: We want them to have Jesus Christ as their personal, Lord, Savior, and attorney to help them in the moment they needed.

[SPEAKER_00]: Use the judgment of the Holy Spirit as Jesus commanded in John 724 that we said earlier.

[SPEAKER_00]: He told us, do not judge according to appearance, but practice what righteous judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: Do not judge according to appearance, but practice righteous judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's close and prayer.

[SPEAKER_00]: Dear Lord, as we come to you today, Lord, we just pray.

[SPEAKER_00]: We pray that you'll help us to use righteous judgment, not our own, but yours through the Holy Spirit.

[SPEAKER_00]: Lord, I know that all of us have been guilty of judging things incorrectly.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know many people have said this person's loss, this person's safe, even fellow Christians at times, all because they had a different opinion.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's been others, Lord God, who just correctly, not realizing that the true judge of condemning isn't us, but you, Lord God.

[SPEAKER_00]: I pray that we not condemn anyone.

[SPEAKER_00]: I also pray, Lord God, that we not shoot off our opinions as judgment, but that, Lord God,

[SPEAKER_00]: as judgment.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is to say, the Holy Spirit will judge through us to know what is right and what is wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: I pray, Lord God, we give ourselves unto you today and allow you to help us lead us and die this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I pray this and you're holy in
