There is a conspiracy to silence anyone out there who is not willing to buy the new age interpretation of scriptures and ideologies designed to accommodate deviant lifestyles and to make them look normal. I know you are familiar with their rhetorics, this is one commonly used today. I know you have heard it over and over. "Who are you to judge?" The hide behind the statement Christ made in Mattew 7:1 and use it as a modern-day weapon to silence anyone from speaking out against the negativities perpetuated in low and high places.
Listen! The word of God does not contradict itself except when taken out of context. The statement Christ made in Matthew 7:1 wasn't intended to silence anyone from "calling a spade a spade," but to caution us not to condemn anyone. One of the fundamental moral rights given to every human being is the entitlement to judge between Good and evil, darkness and light.
If our freedom to judge and to express our views especially on what the word of God clearly states, is taken away from us, then we would descend to the level of animals. And, that's where the "Left" wants to take us to, but we won't let them.
Meditate on the Scripture below.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. Isaiah 7:14-15
What you feed on, will determine your sense of judgment. The reason some Christians and even some Christian ministers fall for anything that has some charisma attached to it even though mixed with gross errors is that the kind of spiritual diet they feed on leaves them deficient of God's wisdom. Look at the scriptural text above; the child had to eat honey and butter to develop the sense to refuse evil and to choose good. When next I'm led, I will unveil to you what honey and butter represent.
Pentecostalism is in deep trouble because anyone can start a church or ministry even if they don't have healthy spiritual food to feed the flocks. And the effect is what we see today. Even when an error is manifesting itself so clearly, yet they will fight if possible to death to defend it.
"I don tire-oooh! E don pass me-oooh, but e no pass God." Pidgin
You can't imagine what is celebrated in some Pentecostal circles today as "grace." It is what the saints of old and the Patriarchs of faith will bow their heads in shame and weep. Where is our sense of judgment?
You see people who should be leading others following what can only be best described as pure madness. What has happened to our sense of judgment? Why can't the saints, whom the scripture says shall judge the world, judge little matters?
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1Cor 6:2-3.
Did you hear what the scripture says, "if you shall judge the world, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
If we can't discern between right and wrong, good and evil, facts and fictions, truth and error, how on earth can we judge rightly?
There are those propagating a lie that we are to believe whatever trash that comes out of someone's mouth in the name of revelation or prophecy. Read what the scripture says below. "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."
1 Cor 14:29. Did you hear that?
"Na man of God talk-am, you just get to obey." Yes, there was a time men of God were fully trusted, but with so many individuals today masquerading as men and women of God without the character that goes with the office, you have all the right to double check and check and check again and again every prophecy. And if someone often comes out with prophecies, which end up as untrue, it is ignorance to keep looking up to such a person.
If you are eating malnourished spiritual diet, how on earth can you discern when a prophecy is from the "prophet," but not from God? The times are dangerous, so many "Prophet Simons the Sorcerer" are out there, if you are not deep in the word of God, you would be in danger of being misled.
Do you know that God can elevate someone to the level where he or she can judge his house? To know when his house is not in alignment with God and to speak out, but this level of authority is not something you merely assume. Zechariah 3: 7.
Let no one silence you anymore with the "don't judge" rhetoric. Speak out when it is necessary. When you judge base on the word of God that something is not right, don't be silent about it, speak-out. The triumph of evil is the silence of good people.
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58: 1.
Stay blessed.
