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:

Correct yourself and leave everyone else to God. He doesn’t need you.
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).
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).
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).
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).
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.).
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

Escaping the "Depart from Me" [podcast]

Each of us faces judgment. It’s inescapable. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Hebrews 9:27 “As someone once wrote, ‘where death finds you, eternity will hold you.’ ~author unknown. In the spiritual state of your last breath, brethren; will be the eternal state of your soul. Rev. 22:11” Jon Crane God looks at where we are now – in our present state – not the past!

"Having No Part Dark" [podcast]

“He always gives us a clean heart and renews a right spirit within us; that there be no part dark, in Jesus name, Amen.” Jon Crane “Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:12-14 PRAYER: Holy Father, cleanse us afresh […]

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]

IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.

It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.

Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?

“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran

Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.

A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:

1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”

2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.

Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.

No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”

Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?

There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

WHAT House are You Helping to Build? Jesus says “I will build my church (people, not physical buildings or the church/religious organizations of men)” (Matthew 16:18-19).

They are known by the relentless teaching of the “sound doctrine” of God’s pure Word and the refusal to build up anything but the name of Jesus and His beloved people. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and […]

How do we know, from the Bible, that America as we know it, is over? Talking about and imagining a bright future for a country that has murdered over 60 million innocent babies is a pipe dream. And there’s no talk about concern to right this wrong. There is clearly no repentance. Yes trump is a better choice and yet God is holy and just and judgment is coming.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee [podcast]

Here’s why Jesus came:

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

There is nothing – NO-THING – more important in your life than your relationship with Christ.

Job 22

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.” Job 22:21-30

“lay up his words in thine heart” v22 – WITH the learning of each new verse of Holy Scripture, each new Bible truth, your knowledge and understanding of the LORD and His kingdom is expanded.

“Let thine heart retain my words.” Proverbs 4:4

“I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” Psalms 119:96-100

The Divine Attributes [podcast]

In their unrepentant, darkness-loving hearts, many today have created a false god in their own sinful image. Jesus told us that evil “men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19-21) They choose to look only at the goodness, grace, mercy, and love of God while intentionally refusing to acknowledge that the LORD is “Holy, holy, holy” and that “The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth.” (Psalms 9:16-17; Romans 11:22; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8, etc.). Just as the Holy Spirit warned us, these same counterfeits have also “heaped to themselves”, or set […]

“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12 As one is taken by Christ into the burial of the self-life, he will steadily lose his grip on and affection for the momentary trinkets of this passing world, and for the glamour and praise of mere men. Moved by the fear of the LORD, his allegiance and the affections of his heart will then begin to ascend to the “glorious high throne from the beginning” which “is the place of our sanctuary” (Jer. 17:12). “While we look not at the things which are seen, […]
