Stoning Your Own Life with Judgment!

Where’s the stoning to begin?

Job recognized that there was no one on the planet more in need of God’s mercy, love, and transforming power than himself.

“But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?” Job 19:28

To the LORD, David cried:

“Create in ME (who??) a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalms 51:10

JESUS SAYS:

“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7

Christ came to the earth to FORGIVE sins – that is, all the sins of those who simply repent and confess (1 John 1:9). We don’t have the slightest clue as to who Christ is or why God sent His only begotten Son if we don’t clearly understand this simple truth. Our Christology is zero if this is the case. | Christology

God will forgive all who repent and put their faith in Christ, fearing Him and confessing any sin committed (1 John 1:9). If this is not true, we are all in trouble – that means YOU are guilty before God! The LORD will not forgive even one sin of those who refuse to repent and begin walking in the light with Him in an abiding relationship (John 15:1-6; 1 John 1:3-2:2, etc.). SOME among us feel an evil sense of “joy” to throw off the guilt they bear from their own unconfessed sin onto another which is slander and sowing discord among the brethren and an “abomination.” (Proverbs 6:16-19) In judging others instead of their own hearts and lives (1 Corinthians 11:31-32), they attempt to project their own sin and guilt upon their victim who they are using as a type of personal scapegoat. But that’s not the answer and only compounds and perpetuates our own misery and guilt. Paul told us that this is the way of unrepentant and wicked hearts.

Unrepentant abusers/deceivers have to put the blame on others in order to get the heat off of themselves. This is called deflection or projecting of one’s own sin and guilt on others in order to try in vain to feel some kind of release. But that won’t work because true repentance is the only way to be refreshed (Acts 3:19).

The pride of man causes him to be blinded to his own utter, desperate and momentary need for God’s mercy.

Self sin and satan work well together — This is why I must deny me (myself) daily take up my cross [we all get one] and follow only JESUS.” Valarie J.

Listen closely to the divinely-inspired words of Jesus’ apostle:

“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) <<< Get to know this passage well.

WE are not even our own judge actually in the sense of that place being reserved for the One who made us and says that He owns all souls and is the only Judge of our eternal souls. How many lawgivers and judges are there? Listen to this:

“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

If you are a true, born again disciple of Jesus Christ, please remember that you have only One Judge. No one is qualified to judge you – rendering a verdict over your life – as is your Maker. Memorize David’s prayer found in Psalms 17:2.

Valarie J. continues: “My heartfelt prayer is constantly that God would create in me a clean Heart OH GOD and RENEW a right spirit with in me — cast me NOT away from thy presence OH LORD — take not thy HOLY SPIRIT from me and restore unto me the JOY of Thy salvation and renew a right spirit with in me. This is the one Cure to keep my eyes and ears on JESUS willfully, not looking at others — or I will fall — I weep weep broken pleading for souls before JESUS————”

Throw Your Stone of Judgment Where God Says to – At Your Own Heart and Life! Show Mercy as You Need Mercy – Or You Will Reap Judgment

Never involve yourself in any fashion with talebearing, slander, or sowing discord among the brethren (Exodus 23:1-2). If you do, you will become the enemy of the LORD and reap undiluted judgment upon your own life.

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13

Beware of those who call themselves pastors and watchmen and do not have the fruit of God’s love in their lives. This can be discerned in that though they speak the truth, they do not do so out of a deep, genuine concern of God’s glory and for the welfare of His beloved people. This identifies such counterfeits as wolves (Compare Philippians 3:1-3, 17-21, etc.).

Beware of any person who unconstructively brings up or makes up a sin about another saint. The Bible tells us that such a person is “an ungodly man.”(Proverbs 16:27-28) Remember, your brothers and sisters in Christ are under attack as are you and I and every true believer (2 Timothy 1:8). NEVER join forces with the enemy of Christ and His beloved people by participating in an “evil report” about another saint (Exodus 23:1-2).

Jesus promised that “the love of many” would “wax cold” in the last hour. This means that those whose love becomes (waxes) cold once had a hot love – a real love from God.

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:10-13

Whatever you do, keep yourself on fire in God’s love! Keep the vessel of your heart and life full of the oil of the LORD who “is love.” (1 John 4:8, 16).

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”  Jude 21

Get and keep yourself in God’s love, evermore realizing the great mercies He has shown upon you through Christ. Prayerfully pore over Titus 3:3-7 every day for the next week so that this truth can permeate your heart, your thinking, your life, and your actions.

Rich in Faith [podcast]


“Them that Love Him”

——WHAT one temporarily has in this fleeting world or doesn’t have, has NOTHING to do with that person’s spiritual state. This is what Jesus taught: “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15) In fact James says:

“HEARKEN, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, HATH NOT GOD CHOSEN THE POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH, AND HEIRS OF THE KINGDOM WHICH HE HATH PROMISED TO THEM THAT LOVE HIM?” JAMES 2:5

James says God chooses those for His eternal kingdom “that love him,” namely “the poor of this world.”  We are justified by “faith” and not by what we do or do not temporarily possess in this fleeting life.

IF in your mind you rate people by what they have or don’t have in this fleeting sinful world, you are deeply deceived and in utter need of repentance and the washing of water by the Word of God. You are carnally minded (Romans 8:5-6).

Regrettably, it seems that most people professing to be following Christ, the One who gave all, are not the least bit concerned if their brother or sister has a need. God have mercy upon us and grant us repentance in Jesus’ Name! Are these people truly saved?

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19

“If we are in Jesus we have the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8). Unfathomable (in our small minds), infinite wealth and spiritual blessings! Endless mercy, grace, and forgiveness. That is inexhaustible! Why do we need any worldly riches that will rot and corrupt our hearts!? Lay up in your hearts God’s riches! Which are eternal!” Karen Cochran

Some have tens of thousands in the bank and could care less to find out if a sister or brother has a need. The Bible assures us that they are not saved. If you have even a little to give and don’t, it’s because you simply have chosen not to know and abide in Christ.

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17

The financial institutions and their salesmen are vying for your money. They want your money to invest so that you and they earn a financial gain in this life. Christians in need, orphans, and Gospel workers are also available to invest in. To help them is to invest in the LORD’s kingdom and be repaid dividends for eternity. Oh, and your heart will follow where you choose to place your money. Jesus says “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)

PRAYER: Holy Father, please break me and make me Your authentic follower. Jesus I love You. Let me walk as You walked, live as You lived, love as You love. Bless this life You gave to be truly crucified with You – dead, buried, and raised up – a vessel of honor for Your glory! In Jesus’ name.

Safety in Wise Counsel [podcast]


Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.” Proverbs 20:18

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalms 90:12

“Safety” in wise counsel from God’s wisdom, Word, and including at times with the help of His beloved saints.

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14 

“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 

“For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 24:6 

Caprice means a sudden and unaccountable change of mood or behavior.

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:13-18

“Let Brotherly Love Continue” [podcast]


“Let Brotherly Love Continue.” Hebrews 13:1

“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” Ephesians 5:2

1 John 4

God Is Love

“7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15  Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19  We love him, because he first loved us.
20  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21  And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”

1 Corinthians 13

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
