Judgment Day!

Upon reading the Word, I truly can learn from our ancestors of how they truly followed the Divine example of Jesus Christ in all of His ways and actions! Every day I get a revelation of something I have previously read; however, God reveals it to me when He knows my spiritual maturity is at another level to obtain the true meaning!

I know many of you have heard people say, “Don’t judge me”! I did not realize how powerful judgment is in the Bible; and how serious it is that we misuse it and abuse it! Know this, “judgment” is authorized to only one being – Jesus Christ to determine our fate when we leave this earth and His judgment is determined by the good deeds we do unto others; if you don't, then you will be judged! Opportunities arise daily for us to give, help, clothe, feed, shelter, even smile, but we are so timid and fleshly (meaning, easily offended and self absorbed) that we either cuss them out or call them names behind their back. And some take it a step further, and choose to quit speaking to that person for a long period of time!

Now I truly understand the meaning of “Love covers a multitude of sins” (I Peter 4:8)! It’s a sin if you see a person struggling with an addiction and you speak negative of them, instead of praying for them and offering them help. If they refuse, continue praying. It’s a sin if you see a child that has no coat and you have 5. If one of your coats do not fit, you are blessed to buy them a new one. It’s a sin to have 3 cars and see the man or woman next door walk in the cold, rain, and heat to the bus stop to his or her job and it’s on your way ~ or give them one of your cars! To say anything against them is called “judging”, because you do not know what they are going through; nor is it your concern to know, but to jump at the opportunity to assist them and never cease to pray for them. Having God's goodness is a blessing, but are you blessing others with it?  

“Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, ⁵ never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. ⁶ It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. ⁷ If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. (I Corinthians 13:4-7 TLB)

The carnal or human definition of judgment is not the divine definition of judgment! In Jude 9, one of the most powerful Angels, Michael, understood his chain of command (his rightful place)! He dared not say anything against Satan that would jeopardize his place in Heaven, but he only spoke what was acceptable in the sight of God!

⁵ My answer to them is: Remember this fact—which you know already—that the Lord saved a whole nation of people out of the land of Egypt and then killed every one of them who did not trust and obey him. ⁶ And I remind you of those angels who were once pure and holy but turned to a life of sin. Now God has them chained up in prisons of darkness, waiting for the judgment day. ⁷ And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, all full of lust of every kind, including lust of men for other men. Those cities were destroyed by fire and continue to be a warning to us that there is a hell in which sinners are punished.

⁸ Yet these false teachers carelessly go right on living their evil, immoral lives, degrading their bodies and laughing at those in authority over them, even scoffing at the Glorious Ones. ⁹ Yet Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, when he was arguing with Satan about Moses’ body, did not dare to accuse even Satan, or jeer at him, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you.” ¹⁰ But these men mock and curse at anything they do not understand, and like animals, they do whatever they feel like, thereby ruining their souls. (Jude 5-10 TLB)

Now will Jesus forgive you of your sins? The answer is yes, but first you have to “believe” He is the Messiah, who died for your sins, and all of your sins will be forgiven; then let the Holy Spirit guide you into righteous works that will give you rewards in Heaven!
