CHAPTER 14: WHERE DOES JUDGMENT BEGIN 2024
Judgement, for me begins with my big mouth, my brain doesn’t know it yet, until my ears hear what my mouth just said. You are a company owner. How do you run a company without judgement? We better learn.
Matthew 7
New International Version
5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Let me introduce the word “assessment.” Assessments have solutions. Judgement is a dead end, no solution. We begin with knowing God, and then He is Sovereign, has always been and will always be.
Isaiah 46:9-10
New International Version
Remember the former things, those of long ago, I am God, and there is no other, I am God, and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’
What’s that mean? Just what it says. He is God. So, for me, I started to realize, there is no time to judge, there is only time to “do,” and do well. Let me explain. Am I living in the last days of a world lost in deception, where the enemy inspires dissension, division and incomprehensible destruction in relationships between men, countries, nations, families?
What do you think?
Isaiah 5:19-20
19 They even mock the Holy One of Israel and dare the Lord to punish them.[a] “Hurry up and punish us, O Lord,” they say. “We want to see what you can do!” 20 They say that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.
The democratic convention is offering free abortions and vasectomies outside the convention center, in the name of freedom, America and democracy. Am I judging? No. I’m assessing a situation by learning what was foretold by God and written for all to see.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 New International Version
5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
Assessment? If the rapture happens today, the end of the entire world happens in seven years, think about it? That’s what the book says.
Revelation 22:18-20
New International Version
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Ephesians 6:12
New International Version
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
We are hunted, and sold a bill of goods against God, scripture, “even history itself is twisted up,” and replaced by false doctrine that replaces the blood of Christ, the history of God/Israel and America.
2 Timothy 4:3
New International Version
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
New International Version
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
In our business, we fire somebody in an emotional outburst, thrash another in the effort to prove a point, attack relationships and we can’t stop.
James 3:6
New International Version
6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
Void of solution, understanding and compassion, God is replaced by self will, or is it self will, who’s will could it possibly be?
1 Timothy 4:1 New International Version
4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Again, no time for judgement. Pay attention. Nobody knows when it ends, but the world, as we know it today, will end, and the signs in prophecy are happening right now. Scripture is clear.
Luke 17:22-30
New International Version
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
Without God, anything goes, and with God replaced by man, there will be a day of harsh reckoning. I remember the moment that realization blanketed my head and I imagined what could happen with my arrogance in the face of God.
Job 38:3-7
New International Version
Brace yourself like a man; I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation, Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions?
Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—
while the morning stars sang together and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?
May I never forget that scripture, or the next. Ah, a very bad judgement call by Lucifer.., the worship leader of Heaven.
God, called him on it, and like all of us, he remained stubborn in is his convictions, and then Judgement.
Isaiah 14:15
New International Version
You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.[a]
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,
to the depths of the pit.
That scripture sounds like the world is doing the same, saying the same, acting the same, with no right to do so. I think I’ve made the point. Is there bad judgement and good judgement? No, I’ve never seen any indication of that. All judgement is a bitter consequence for the one being judged, it’s all bad. Judgement is a tool only the Lord is qualified to use. And it is final, horrible and forever.
Jude 5-7 New International Version
6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling— these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.
Then, I thought to myself so many years ago, this corporate thing is a microcosm of power and when people become to powerful on the top, it falls over, crashing into financial ruin, lives are torpedoed. And then I thought this has happened to mankind before and oh, my God, it will happen again, same problem.
Genesis 6:9-14 New International Version
13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
That was the first time! It’s coming again! It has been foretold! Judgement. Again, who has time? God says, make the assessment and bring people in! If I don’t, I’m on the hook for it.
Ezekiel 3:18-19
New King James Version
18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
So, answer the question, where does judgement begin? At the end of Assessment where there is no more solutions. In such cases I’m not tied in to scripture, prayer and correct fellowship. I’ve distanced myself from the Word and the Lord and now it’s all me, baby, until it’s not. Do you remember the three D’s, Dissension, Division and Deliverance. Dissension leads to Division and then God Himself must deliver me from the problem I created. When the world has come to it’s bitter end, what then?
Daniel 2:44
New International Version
44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
Deliverance, God will Deliver His people. Jesus came to save sinners. This doctrine is put to shame by the world, it is treated as a disgusting artifact by an invented god for a weak people who had no mind. Don’t be deceived, that is a lie.
John 13:20
20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.” Amen.
Be busy assessing and promoting change for the better in God’s manner, not the monkey business of judging this, that and the other thing. That is the side of mayhem and anarchy.
Matthew 24:3-8
New International Version
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Recognize that in the news? The World has taken a turn, probably not coming back. Is anybody paying attention? Like I said, just like CEO’s that don’t believe the end, so is the world, neither did anybody in the day of Noah.
Matthew 24:39-41 New International Version
39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
Was God counseled before the end? Many people might say yes, I prayed and this is what happened? I, personally learned quickly in the beginning, that when I pray, I gotta make sure I listen for the answer and in discernment make sure it’s definitely the God of the Bible I’m praying to, not one I made up, convenient to me.
James 4:13-15 English Standard Version
14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
Where does judgement begin? It begins in the black heart of satan, and ends in the mouth of God. Don’t get stuck in between, keep your mouth under control, I say to the mirror. Stay busy my friends, in the fields of the Lord..,
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
New King James Version
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
