God doesn't give us insights for nothing. He doesn't tell us that we are sitting on a ticking time bomb for nothing. What have we done with our prophetic gifting? Have we really rise up to comfort and encourage those in trials? To offer forgiveness and mercy to those who have fallen? To press on and to believe and abide in the agape love?
When the crowd wanted to stone the sexually immoral woman, what did Jesus do? He offered to her mercy and forgiveness! This is the same God who died for us while we were still sinful and fallen.
Desire mercy, not sacrifice.
Forgiveness, not judgment.
Luke 6:37-38 (New International Version)
Judging Others
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."quoting from: http://exodusmark.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-strengthen-yourself-in-god.html
"Heb 11:6 (NKJV)
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him
We are only as strong as what we believe our God IS. If we believe He IS our healer, then we will experience more of His healing. If we believe He IS our provider, then we will enjoy more of His provision. What we believe God IS, becomes the “substance” God materializes in our lives. We must therefore build on the correct knowledge of who God is. And we must approach Him in faith. Lastly, the fear of the Lord will be the key to knowing God intimately … "
If we believe that God is judgmental and without leeway then He will manifest Himself in that manner.. but my thought provoking question is this a correct view of God?
A successful spiritual walk is a cooperation between God and man. God can show us dreams n visions. But it is up to man to decide his responses!
Luke 8:18
Therefore consider carefully HOW you listen. Whoever HAS will be GIVEN MORE; whoever does NOT have, even what he thinks he has will be TAKEN from him."
Pick your response today. You can make a difference.
