Observable and Stated Phenomenon
of the Depraved Nature

“Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.” Psalms 32:7

The LORD is our hiding place from the storms of life. One of those storms is the condemnation of others, namely the sons of Belial who pose as Christians, watchmen, and pastors (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

The LORD has revealed to us through His apostle Paul that the unsanctified soul will accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of. This is a type of projection of one’s own darkness upon another by false accusation, seeking to if but for a brief moment, relieve their own guilty souls of the burden only Christ can alleviate. Has this happened to you?

“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” Romans 2:1-3

Lately, I have spoken to several of Christ’s disciples who are being falsely accused by people who are actually guilty of the exact sin(s) they are falsely accusing them of. Beware of this phenomenon which is addressed in Holy Scripture. Also, our Savior told us that if we truly follow Him, that “men shall … say ALL manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” (Matthew 5:11)

R.A. Torrey wrote:

“The humility of Jesus Christ was manifested in His silence under false accusation. Jesus did not defend His own good name. He left that to God. He ‘committed himself to him that judgeth righteously” and God has given Him ‘the name that is above every name.’ (Phil. 2:9)” What the Bible Teaches, p. 128

“For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. 14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.” Psalms 31:13-14

As I read the New Testament Scriptures, it becomes more and more clear that IF someone is not slandering you, you aren’t a powerful force in the hand of Christ – who promised that all who follow Him WILL be persecuted and lied about (Matthew 5:10-12; 10:22; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Peter 4:12-14, etc.).

Learn to wear the scorn of others as a badge of honor – realizing that it only proves you are in the light of Christ – right in  the middle of God’s perfect will! Read Acts 5:41.

Another Stated Phenomenon is the Promise of Divine Protection!

You are set apart for the LORD’s glory!

“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.” Psalms 4:3

“Let the heathen rage.” (Psalms 2) Learning to die down deep into the death of Christ, to be dead and buried with Him daily, is the key to be hidden away with Him in complete comfort with “the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:2-5)

It’s just amazing how people can sink to such depths of darkness proven by the things they dare to make up about others in their railing accusations, and even more amazing how our LORD protects us and gives us total peace and disregard for the judgment of mere sinful men!!!!

Are YOU “Blessed” According to this Description Jesus Gives?

Our LORD Jesus, who was persecuted even unto death, is bringing us to the place that we actually get concerned about our spiritual state with Him if we are not being attacked, persecuted, and lied about (Matthew 5:10-12; 1 Peter 4:12-14).

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12

Are you rejoicing because you are “Blessed”?!!!

Throw those hands up and give Jesus praise!!!!

Jesus promised that in the last days, these days in which we live, “the love of many shall wax cold” and they will turn on the righteous (Matthew 24:10-13). So, that gives you and I more opportunities to “rejoice” in light of the soon coming Savior who is going to give each of us a new name! (Revelation 3:12) These things will not even be remembered nor come into mind! (Isaiah 65:17)

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” Isaiah 65:17

Help me count! HOW MANY judges are there?!?!?!

“Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is ONE LAWGIVER, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?” James 4:11-12

WHO? WHO? WHO?

“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34

WHERE Does Your Judgment/Verdict Come from?

“Let my sentence (verdict) come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.” Psalms 17:2

Beloved saint, if at this time you are not being falsely accused or someone is not dragging up an old sin against you, trust me, if Jesus tarries, such will occur again. Read Psalms. David suffered at the hands of multitudes of evil doers – Satan’s children – who falsely accused him and attempted to condemn him for past sins. Find your comfort in the LORD alone of whom the psalmist says “Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.” (Psalms 31:20)

Hid with Christ in God!

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

Observable and stated phenomenon of the depraved nature. The unsanctified soul will accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of. This is a type of projection of one’s own darkness upon another in false accusation, seeking to if but for a brief moment, relieve their own guilty souls of the burden only Christ can alleviate. Let’s review it again….

“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” Romans 2:1-3

I have spoken to several of Christ’s disciples lately who are being false accused by people who are actually guilty of the exact sin(s) they are falsely accusing them of. Beware of this phenomenon which is addressed in Holy Scripture. Also, our Savior told us that if we truly follow Him, that “men shall … say ALL manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” (Matthew 5:11)

Are YOU “Blessed” According to this Description Jesus Gives?

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12

DIVINE INSULATION! WHO? WHO? WHO?

“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34

——DEEP SIX THIS!!!!! JUST ONE MORE REASON to rejoice at the most wonderful thing in the history of the world – Please infuriate Satan by sharing this one –  Vanquishing Your Past Sins!

Pass this on to comfort another child of God who is looking for the soon return of Jesus.
