How to know if God is or is not leading you to bring Correction

EVER been corrected by someone who previously didn’t show interest or care for you…. someone who never edified you? How do you feel when someone like that corrects or rebukes you?

Have you noticed that in life there are some who never edify or make any gesture of concern for others and yet, will jump to the occasion of correcting others? Beware. This is clear proof, fruit of an evil heart.

Think: If we aren’t loving the body of Christ, we have no business attempting to correct them because we haven’t yet corrected our selves. Jesus calls us “hypocrite” in need of true repentance and getting the sin our of our own lives (Matthew 7:1-5).

Where does correction start? Correction always begins with the correction of our own hearts and lives. Notice David’s prayer as is recorded in Psalm 139. Notice who he is asking God to work on:

“Search ME, O God, and know MY heart: try me, and know MY thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in ME, and lead ME in the way everlasting.” Psalms 139:23-24

Again notice this pattern in Psalms 51:

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

Is there any question as to just who the LORD wants to change most and what His order is in correction? – first us, then help restore and bless others.

You have no business correcting anyone till you’ve corrected your own life. Who is God Leading You to Correct?

The LORD will not and is not use me to correct anyone else until He first does a deep work in my own life.

Let me say here also, that any person who is preoccupied with correcting others, has a serious heart problem himself. This is something the LORD told those who are mature to do in His Word and He will lead them in this matter after He gives them the right heart and desire of restoration in the matter of all souls (Matthew 7:1-5; Galatians 6:1-2).

Jesus teaches that if we presently have any sin at all in our own lives, we are 100% disqualified from pointing out or condemning anyone else for any sin they have in their own life.
 
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7

Any questions?

“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? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5

What does Ephesians 4:3 and 32 say? Have you not memorized these verses of truth yet? Why not?

The LORD is trying to get us to repent and bring much-needed correction to our own lives with the bringing forth of fruits meet for (consistent with) true repentance which works salvation (Matthew 3:7-8; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10). It’s only then that He may or may not use us to help others. Read, study, and meditate upon all the verses referenced in this important message.

How we can know of a surety when God is not leading us to correct others? The LORD has given several conditions or pre-qualifications that must be present or He will not use us to correct others:

Biblical Pre-qualifications for the Correction of Others:

  1. Correct yourself and leave everyone else to God. He doesn’t need you.
  2. Get the logs out of your own eye He says to “hypocrites” who are unduly preoccupied with the faults of others (Matthew 7:1-5).
  3. If you are not a mature (“spiritual”) Christian, you are not being led of Christ to attempt to bring correction to others (Galatians 6:1-2).
  4. If you are not operating in “the spirit of meekness” but rather are possessed by a condemning spirit and an “evil eye,” even the accuser of the brethren (Matthew 6:22-23; Mark 7:22; Galatians 6:1-2; Revelation 12:7-12).
  5. If you are not a seasoned disciple who is possessed with the love of God and the desire to help “restore” others who are fallen to their relationship with Christ, the LORD is not leading you to correct others but rather to humble yourself at His feet and in His presence as you allow Him to do a much needed deeper work in your own heart (1 Corinthians 11:31-32; Galatians 6:1-3).
  6. If you are not edifying the members of the body of Christ, you are clearly not walking in God’s love and have no business attempting to correct anyone except your own self. Repent, lay down your life, and follow Christ (Romans 6; Colossians 3; Ephesians 4:29; Philippians 2:3-5, etc.).
  7. If your own life is not set apart through the cross, you aren’t overflowing with God’s love, you edify no one, you are self-centered, and you believe you are supposed to correct someone else, it’s because you are full of pride (Proverbs 16:18; 1 Corinthians 13; Galatians 6:1-2; Colossians 3:10-14; James 4:6-10). God will only use you after you truly repent, lay down your life, and follow Christ authentically.

Beware that those who rail on other believers are to be “delivered unto Satan” and the hoards of hell for their sin of railing and in order that God may show mercy on their eternal souls if they will but repent (1 Corinthians 5). Note the sin of being a “railer” here in 1 Corinthians 5. This is one of six sins listed which if committed without repenting, warrant delivering that sinning person over to Satan (1 Corinthians 5).

To those who rail on others, I want to say this: If you wish to perpetrate this evil slander and railing on members of Christ’s body, the LORD is going to continue to judge you, beginning with the fact that He will take His Spirit from your life (Psalms 51:11; Revelation 1-3). He will give you leanness of soul (Psalms 106:15). The LORD will not return until you come to full repentance and break off your sins by doing what is right in the eyes of God and making amends/restitution with those you have wronged (Matthew 5:23-24; 3:7-8; Luke 19:1-10, etc.). This is all predicated on whether or not the LORD chooses again to draw you (Genesis 6:3; John 3:27; 6:44).

God is not going to bless our lives unless we are willing to sincerely admit our sins, repent and confess them, and make amends (restitution) with anyone we’ve harmed (Proverbs 28:13). In the divine economy, there’s no such thing as being right with God when you’ve done another person wrong, haven’t repented, and haven’t made amends for what you’ve done. Such a person will be outside of the will and blessings of God until he makes things right with God and man (Matthew 5:23-24; 7:12; 22:37-39).

The LORD requires that His people “examine” and “judge” themselves.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5

Examine and honestly judge yourself and amend your ways or God will judge you.

“For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32

When we attempt to cover/hide our sins, all of His spiritual progress, momentum and divine favor ceases in our lives. Here’s a very important memory verse which teaches just this:

“He that covereth (tries to hide) his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

Mission Mexico Part 38

BROTHER JUAN IS BLAZING A GOSPEL TRAIL

FYI, Biblesinbulk.com (Reina Valera 50% off) case of 36 for $90 ($2.50 each)

TODAY a man named Juan was ministered to, He is born again and on fire. We fellowshipped best we could as I had interrupted his work. As I walked by, a man (Juan) was carrying food into a cafe and he dropped some bottled water. So I grabbed the bottles (plastic) that were dropped and ministered Christ to him. He immediately responded by speaking God’s Word. He does delivery work to restaurants and cafes and so he sees lots of people daily. Brother Juan took a stack of the JESUS tracts and he’s passing them out today! He just sent me this….. looks like I will have to be supplying him from now on, we hope right.

Juan just texted me and said “Brother, I visit the prison, and my brothers need Bibles. God’s Word never returns back to Him void (Isaiah 55:11)!”

Juan is also asking me to go to the prison with him to preach and distribute the Spanish Bibles and JESUS tracts.

So we will be supplying him with Spanish JESUS tracts and the Reina Valera Spanish Bibles (only). RVR Reina Valera is the King James Bible equivalent in Spanish.

*Thank the LORD for the 5-7 people who are financially supporting this ministry outreach monthly.

Can you believe more Christians aren’t taking advantage of this opportunity!? Wow. Okay just a thought.

God is good for sure.

The LORD says He orders the steps of His people. Psalms 37:23 amazing.

I was going to walk down another street actually, but went that way, the street whereon I met brother Juan.

And as I was passing Juan the water bottles fell to the ground.

So naturally I stooped, picked them up and handed them to him

and began speaking the Word to brother Juan.

Handed him a JESUS tract.

And he immediately lit up.

He is a Holy Ghost filled saint no doubt, evangelizing daily.

The Holy Spirit in action through His body and Juan….

Here are but two of the people Juan is ministering to this week, within 24 hours of us meeting.

Brother Juan is ministering the Word of our LORD and passing out more JESUS tracts today. Juan just sent me this:

“Brother, they’re asking me for a Bible. Glory to God, some of us need big print Bibles.” Juan

RESPONSE:

For now have them download the Reina Valera Bible in the play store on their cellphone. I can get you more Jesus tracts soon. And we have Spanish Bibles in print on the way, in the mail.

Saints, I am going to give brother Juan at least hundreds of the JESUS tracts. This guy is on fire for Christ. Holy Ghost filled (Acts 1:8).  Thank you for supporting by prayer and giving. Meeting our brother Juan was a divine connection 100%. I was actually going to walk down a different street just before meeting Juan yesterday. God says He orders the steps of His people and this is one of those times He did such. The LORD made it so easy as the water bottles Juan was carrying, some of them (2-3) fell to the ground right near my feet. Those bottles were picked up and handed to Juan and the ministry began and Juan lit up and has been ministering boldly ever since as it seems he was already doing in his daily life. Yet now that he has our support, the support of the body of Christ, he is even more fervent and diligent in ministering to others! Here’s a picture below of two of the people Juan ministered to in the last 24 hours. Juan is blazing abroad the matter of the Gospel, just as did the leper whom Jesus healed! Leprosy represents sin and when Jesus cleanses our sin, we began to “blaze abroad the matter” telling others the Gospel.

“But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.” Mark 1:45

Let’s roll saints.

Send Reina Valera Spanish Bibles here and they will be forwarded to me:

2 new ministry videos for your edification in Christ, our coming King.

NEW ministry videos.


Antonio came back again today….

We had an excellent time listening to the Bible in Spanish on audio, talking, and ministering to him. Antonio also got some new clothes and this week I am going to order him some shoes he asked for. He told me he wants to look more presentable because he’s looking for work. He received some coin and coffee too with his eggs and potato breakfast. God is good and thank you for praying saints. Oh and he asked for shoes. Yet he wears a different size than I have and so I am going to order a pair in his size from Amazon today. Anyone is welcome to support the mission to these wonderful people.

Thank you for lifting beloved Antonio in your prayer. He’s been coming by regularly and is responding more and more to the love and Word of our God. Due to your prayers and support he’s received coin, clothes, food, got cleaned up, and some new clothes. Ordered some shoes he needs for working…. God is good.


Thanking God for those who do and also those who will pray for Mission Mexico …. support is a blessing. https://safeguardyoursoul.com/mexico-mission/


TODAY, beloved Gillermo received God’s love from Christ’s body, in the form of the spoken Word, the written Word (JESUS tract), and he asked for some food. Gillermo was hungry. So, we took him to get a very nice warm meal, egg breakfast, pastry, etc. God is good saints. Jesus is coming. You are invited to lift a prayer for the precious people of Mexico.



Your prayers and support help this and much more to be accomplished. 1 Corinthians 3:9


José and I had a lengthy talk a few days ago. He reminded me that I had ministered to him in the past. He is really searching and gladly received more ministry, Scripture and the exhortation to repent and receive Jesus (Matthew 6:33). He took another JESUS tract also and said that his daughter is now saved.

You are invited to lift a prayer to our Father in the name of our LORD Jesus for beloved José and his family.


Because you care, Clara has been receiving regular groceries and also her cell phone bill was paid, etc. God is good.

THAT SUBTLE SERPENT SATAN – NIV and Modern Bible Versions Exposed

Check how they completely removed the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:21 and chopped Romans 8:1 in half, and removed the BLOOD from Colossians 1:14? Acts 8:37 was also deleted and this is not even scratching the surface of the corruptions in the NIV.

BEWARE: The “rapture ready” website is run by a person or persons who state this following error:

“Some people are so fanatical about the exclusive “truth” of the KJV that they would doubt your salvation if you were saved by reading another version. The New International Version Bible is probably the most attacked of all the modernized versions, but any errors it might contain are subtle ones. Other folks believe other translations are the Mark of the Beast.”

FACT: The NIV removed 64,000 words and that alone makes it in violation of the severe warning of Jesus recorded in Revelation 22:18-19 … oh and the NIV is published by a division of zondervan which publishes the satanic bible and other perverted books such as “the joy of gay sex.” Oh and the NIV committee included Virginia Mollencott, a life long atheist and lesbian. See below.

As you take in some of this information, perhaps ask yourself: Could it possibly be the Holy Spirit of God leading someone to read the NIV?

The answer is a resounding NO!

Also, ask yourself: If a pastor isn’t exposing these counterfeit “bibles”, why not?
