I pray that those who read this blog be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to take offense, for man's anger and lack of knowledge will not bring about the blessing or the righteous abundant life that You desire for us to live.
Therefore I pray that these words accomplish by ridding the mind of all the evil, morally twisted and misguided thinking that is so prevelant in the world system and renew the mind of each reader who humbly accepts and receives these words as they are sown into their hearts.
In Jesus Name I ask and I thank you for being faithful to do those things that line up with Your Word and Will.
So Be It.
The Word comes not to condemn but to save.
John 3:16,17
There is a famous line that's quoted often from the movie 'A Few Good Men' where Jack Nicholson says:
"You can't handle the truth!"
It's not that people can't handle the truth we don't want to handle the truth.
We have a tendency to treat it like a hot potato and want to toss it out the window when it is presented to us.
The Lord Jesus told us that the truth is the thing that sets us free.
John 8:31-33
Listening to and looking at the truth means examining our selves and being held accountable for our actions.
The Word of God is a double edged sword and it will cut straight through all of the baloney and get right to the core.
Hebrews 4:12,13
Embracing the truth will mean taking responsibility for what we say and do.
This is not judgment this is the truth.
Can you handle the truth?
I don't know what you can handle but I do know the truth is what you are going to get when you log on to this blog.
The bible says that not many should teach because those who stand to teach will be judged more critically.
James 3:1,2
Because I don't want to see other people die an early death, lose in life and eventually go to hell is the reason that I put myself out here to be judged on a regular basis.
I put my self in a position to be examined under a microscope and every word that I type to be picked apart like a piece of fried catfish.
Who wants to do that just to do that?
Love will.
The truth offends folks because it convicts the sin in a heart.
And what most folks feel is judgment is not judgment it is conviction, without conviction there will be no repentance.
When you are pricked in your conscious about the choices that you make that is not judgment that is the Spirit of God trying to communicate to you.
Now we can choose to listen to it or we can choose to ignore it and rationalize reasons why we should not listen and say that we are being judged.
The preachers call it "stepping on toes"
If a man never realizes and admits that he has sinned or is living in sin, how can he turn from it?
I want you to know that when you read this blog it is not thus sayeth Big LoLo.
This is going to be "Thus Sayeth The Lord".
Every thing that I talk about God has already establish a principle for it in His Word, I'm not just making stuff up to pick with you.
If you are not going to roll with what God has said, that is up to you, you are the judge.
I invite and encourage you to print this out today and study the scripture references throughout.
I know that some folks profess that they live their life by Matthew Chapter 7.
Someone has told you that it doesn't matter what I say all that matters is what God thinks and they are right, but if they fail to share with you the thoughts of God they are doing you a disservice.
I am going to talk about the real judgment this week and why it is important to have a clear understanding of what judgment is, why judgment is the seat that God sits in, and why He has given us all the opportunity to renew our minds by His word in order to be able to judge rightly.
If you are looking for someone to lie to you so that you can continue to not be held accountable this is not the place.
God will hold each and everyone who sees these words accountable for what they have read.
Once The Father has given me an assignment if I don't follow through with it I will have to answer to Him as to why I did not.
Because I care about people and what happens to them, I share these words.
As we begin a journey into judgment the simple definition is the ability to choose right according to God.
The tragic things that happen in the world or in every individual life are not God's judgment against man they are the result of sin and they are man's own judgment against himself based on his choices.
The Bible teaches that if we refuse God we have made a choice.
God always from the beginning has place life and death before man and encouraged man to choose life.
If we refuse to live as God has established that we should live as is laid out in His Word, we have chosen a side.
Jesus said, My sheep know my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.
God has given us the choice to judge for our selves where we want to spend eternity and how we want all other things to turn out in our live.
1 Corinthians 6:2 asks:
Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
This is showing how we have been given God's ability to make right choices about the world system of operation.
God has put His Wisdom in us so that we do not lean to our own understanding but that we acknowledge His way in everything.
So that we know who to hang out with and who to marry, what company to invest in or to withdraw our support from, who to work for and what to do with our money and how to raise our children, how to live healthy, long and strong with His blessing.
God shows us how not battle amongst our selves in the body of Christ in front of non believers ruining our witness and giving them a reason to doubt, because we are all on one accord, part of one body, one faith and one baptism.
One accord is being in agreement with what God has said not the horoscopes, cultural traditions or the politicians.
God has not begun to judge men and He won't judge us until we stand before Him.
Understand God's grace.
His goodness and mercy is this time right now that is open to lead men to repent and turn from his own way to God's way.
Men need to come to Him.
Don't allow pride to keep you from life.
John 3:20,21
We really need to understand just because we neglect to do something right now doesn't mean that there will not be a consequence for it later.
It has been established that the wages of sin are death.
Romans 6:23
It has been established that if we eat more than we exercise we will gain weight.
The 40 lbs doesn't jump on with the first piece of pizza or the first strawberry sundae.
It has been established that if a (man has sex with a woman) there is a potential for a baby to be made.
It might not happen the first time or the second time.
It has been established that if we spend more than we make, live beyond our means and don't pay what we owe and live like credit cards are income we will be in debt.
The stress may not increase your blood pressure the first time you shop instead of paying a bill.
Yet for some reason we refuse to handle truth and then when we come to the place where we are staring at the result of our own personal judgment we don't want to take responsibility for it.
I am not coming at anyone from a place of judgment because I have made wrong decisions, I am coming from the place of understanding that wrong judgment doesn't have to be a lifestyle.
Anyone who has any wisdom will love the one who gives them the truth.
The Bible teaches that God only chastises or corrects those whom He loves.
Proverbs 3:12
Love me enough to tell me the truth.
I don't mean be critical for critics sake, I mean give me some solid information.
Let me talk to the fat folks for a minute because I'm fat.
If someone has watched you balloon from a size 8 to a size 28 and you say to them because you trust them enough to say it to them that you need to lose some weight and they say " NO you look okay"
The issue is not whether or not you look Okay. The issue is, do you want to be looking Okay in a casket 25 years earlier than you should be laying in a casket due to diseases brought on by obesity?
Yes we know that we have a pretty face but if we say that we need to lose weight, encourage us to do that.Say, I believe that you can do what ever your put your pretty mind to do.
That is what love does.
Love won't let you walk around with spinach in your teeth grinning at folks.
God gives us all the ability to turn things around when we follow Him and once we make the adjustment and go with God it will bless us and others.
We all know people who are dead and gone and they should still be here but they are not based on how they judged.
We know folks who don't have the luxuries or just bare basics of life because of the choices that they have made and it doesn't have to be that way.
Who they chose to spend their life with, how they chose to live their life, it put them in a place and a position that stole there lives from them.
That doesn't have to be you.
Example:
If I am driving 85 MPH and texting on wet ground and I hit a wall and become paralyzed from the neck down, that isn't God judging me, that's me breaking the law and putting my self in a position to lose my life and or the use of my body.
It also puts me in a position to kill someone else and end up in jail, robbing my own family, taking a mother from my children and a wife from my husband.
God has not judged me, the speed limit posted on the highway is not judging me, the common since law of not texting while driving because it distracts from the task of driving is not judging me.
My actions are my judge.
God teaches us if we would judge our selves we would not be judged.
1Corinthians 11:31
This blog is not judging you honey this blog is getting you ready for the day of judgment.
Romans 1:16-32; Romans 2:1-8
Love Y'all
