1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,520 [Music] 2 00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:06,640 action thank 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,640 you 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,759 okay there's something I've been 5 00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:16,400 thinking about a lot um recently is we 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,359 have to check our hearts because in a 7 00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,560 world that's ever increasingly 8 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,519 divisive um pmic do we find our heart 9 00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:26,679 slowly slipping into being 10 00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:29,640 judgmental uh you know divisive finding 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,560 it difficult to forgive finding it 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,520 difficult to be compassionate judging 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,680 people and I think that's one of the 14 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,960 greatest temptations that we Face to put 15 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840 ourself in the position of Judge whereas 16 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,800 that's not a position that God gives us 17 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,960 as children of God whilst we're on this 18 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,920 Earth it's not our place to judge 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,039 because God is the judge and I think so 20 00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,440 many of us maybe consciously 21 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,840 subconsciously find ourselves slipping 22 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,000 into that judgmental position what what 23 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,680 can you say about this H what is 24 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,360 Judgment well when we judge someone's 25 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,840 motives or think that we know the reason 26 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,479 why someone does something and and say 27 00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:12,080 whether it's good or bad thank you for 28 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600 saying motive we need to understand when 29 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,119 it comes to 30 00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:18,880 judgment Jesus standard of judgment is 31 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,079 different from man's 32 00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,560 judgment that the Lord does not judge 33 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,960 what we say what we do on Face 34 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,680 Value the lord always looks our heart to 35 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,759 judge the motivation why we are doing 36 00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:38,240 this and that's the purpose that brings 37 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,320 God's approval or the reprove of God in 38 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:44,439 our actions and decisions every day as 39 00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:46,240 you said 40 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,240 today God is all about relationship we 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000 should not forget that the heart of the 42 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,360 matter of this Bible is to restore the 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,159 relationship between God and man and 44 00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:00,200 that's a love relationship absolutely 45 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520 not only between God and man between man 46 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,280 to other fellow human beings I say 47 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,759 mankind today relationships are under 48 00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:09,119 repair everywhere not only towards God 49 00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:11,039 but towards our neighbor towards our 50 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,800 brother towards our sisters towards our 51 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,160 friends and towards even those who are 52 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,760 not our friends why we are saying this 53 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,760 Jesus said you should love the Lord your 54 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,680 God with all your heart with all your 55 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,680 mind with all your strength and love 56 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,760 your neighbor as yourself good as 57 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400 yourself that love starts first with the 58 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,400 love of God 59 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,080 and that's the love of God in us as the 60 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,120 Bible says is poured by the holy spirit 61 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,080 in our heart Romans 62 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,680 5:5 that overflows if I have a cup of 63 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560 water you cannot quench my thirst with a 64 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,680 cup of water share with me that's why 65 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,360 Jesus said if you know who is speaking 66 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760 to you and what is the gift of God in 67 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,000 John chapter 4 you would have ask me and 68 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,440 I will give you living water Living 69 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,920 Waters and the water I give you will 70 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,360 well up within you will well up overflow 71 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,480 to everlasting life oh my God God has 72 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,680 set a table before us and he want us to 73 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,560 be blessed abundantly so we can have 74 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040 something to share with 75 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,280 others means our request when we come 76 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,799 before God should not be self-centered 77 00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:21,080 if we ask for God's sake the blessing 78 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,040 will 79 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,599 overflow if you ask for God's sake God 80 00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:26,560 know you not asking just for you but for 81 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,400 your neighbor that means one of the 82 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,840 major obstacles is actually selfishness 83 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000 absolutely and that makes us also want 84 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,280 to judge people that is the problem we 85 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080 have that's why James say when he come 86 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,319 in God's presence you ask and you don't 87 00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:44,480 receive because we ask wrong wrongly why 88 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,560 we ask for selfish classic and matal 89 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,319 reason the motivation God approves when 90 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,319 the reason behind the action is for 91 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,079 God's sake and it's only s God that can 92 00:03:55,079 --> 00:03:57,480 see that motive we can't see thank you 93 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,720 people's motives God can only see it and 94 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,159 that's what is important because we not 95 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,159 asking man we asking God you want God to 96 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:07,120 hear you you want God to answer our 97 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,360 prayers so remember when we come to him 98 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,879 with our lips he listens to our heart 99 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,680 then we go to that Mathew chapter 100 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,519 15:8 that will lay down the principle of 101 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,160 this message Matthew chapter 102 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,840 15:8 let's listen to what Jesus Christ 103 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,720 the righteous judge said but don't 104 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,520 forget the Bible called calls Jesus the 105 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,199 judge of the living and of the Dead 106 00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:34,280 let's listen to Judgment of Christ these 107 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:36,320 people draw near to me with their mouth 108 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,199 and honor me with their lips but their 109 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,759 heart is far from me good and in vain 110 00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,039 they worship me teaching as doctrines 111 00:04:43,039 --> 00:04:46,120 the Commandments of men in vain we pray 112 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,280 in vain we ask when we come with our 113 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:51,280 mouth alone but our hearts far from God 114 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,919 how sad that is that people think 115 00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:55,720 they're worshiping but actually it's in 116 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,280 vain yes because our heart is far from 117 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:03,600 God means when we come to God we should 118 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,960 bring our heart first before our mouth 119 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,160 we should not be too quick to speak when 120 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,600 you bring your heart when you engage 121 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,560 your heart before God the scripture say 122 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400 we don't know what to ask we don't know 123 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320 what to pray for Romans 8 2627 that's 124 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,120 why the Holy Spirit intercedes 125 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,800 absolutely in words we cannot yes go 126 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,680 ahead those you cannot we cannot 127 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,880 comprehend thank you when the Holy 128 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Spirit Come he will take you to God's 129 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,400 presence first and then will help you 130 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440 how to pray and what to pray for we 131 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,080 often hear that Prayer Changes Things 132 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,319 and that's not entirely true yes prayer 133 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:42,039 changes us prayer changes us and Faith 134 00:05:42,039 --> 00:05:44,479 changes things Faith causing things to 135 00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:47,160 happen let's break that run down prayer 136 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,639 changes me because it takes our Focus 137 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:51,400 off ourself we all enter God's presence 138 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,800 because we have trouble because nobody 139 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400 comes to Jesus in Comfort am I right 140 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,440 very often we come because of our burden 141 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,199 but the Bible say don't don't be too 142 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:00,400 quick 143 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440 to ask for solution try to find out what 144 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,000 God is saying in the matter that's why 145 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,199 we bring all burdens before Jesus to God 146 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:11,840 and asking to know God's opinion on the 147 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,160 matter it is God's opinion on the matter 148 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,919 that will reveal his will on the matter 149 00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:18,800 Jesus walking towards the cross was not 150 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,120 for 151 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,680 himself it was for you and I for 152 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,840 humankind because he said nobody takes 153 00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:28,919 my life I lay down myself I have the 154 00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:30,680 power to give my life and to take it 155 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,039 back that's the command of my father so 156 00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:36,800 it is the motivation that is important 157 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960 when Peter heard what Jesus said I'm 158 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,759 going to Jerusalem they will arrest me 159 00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,840 they will spit on me and they will kill 160 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,319 me on the third day I will rise Peter 161 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,759 say what God forbid never happened to 162 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:51,880 you why 163 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,280 selfishness Peter was focusing on 164 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:56,960 himself on the natural side with emotion 165 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,960 with love for Jesus but Jesus was 166 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,919 thinking the thoughts of God not the 167 00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:04,160 thoughts of man so when we judge 168 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,599 situations and others from a human point 169 00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:11,199 of view it's actually a selfish attitude 170 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:13,199 is that right absolutely because very 171 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,319 often we judge people because we have a 172 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,720 mindset a negative mindset prejudgment 173 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,960 against others and that is not good 174 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,720 remember in John chapter 8 verse 11 when 175 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,680 they brought the adulterous woman before 176 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,520 Jesus the Pharisees the Sadducees the 177 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,319 the teachers of the law who brought that 178 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:33,440 woman to Jesus for judgment that's why 179 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,879 they brought her for judgment because 180 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:37,080 the law of Moses said anybody who commit 181 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,479 a sin must be ston to death so the 182 00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:41,479 decision was made 183 00:07:41,479 --> 00:07:44,479 already they had a prejudgment on woman 184 00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:46,680 already they judg her in their hearts 185 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,039 already they just want confirmation and 186 00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:50,319 when they brought it to Jesus said 187 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,039 Master the law of Moses said if you 188 00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:56,800 catch any person on the act of doing 189 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,960 adultery that such person should be 190 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,560 stoned to that's what the law of Moses 191 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,280 say yeah they were trying to trick him 192 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,879 you what do you 193 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:06,680 say so when we take the situation on 194 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,240 literal senses on the letter you're 195 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,720 going to Stone the woman that's what the 196 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,400 letter says that's why even a judg when 197 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,039 you go to any court today no judge will 198 00:08:16,039 --> 00:08:17,800 go by the face value they do 199 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,919 investigation to find out what was the 200 00:08:20,919 --> 00:08:22,840 motivation of the person you will never 201 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,440 condemn any person if you realize the 202 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,039 person has psychatric 203 00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:29,000 problem the first is the person has his 204 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,960 own mind 205 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,719 has he done this act willfully 206 00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:35,279 consciously with all his mind that's 207 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,680 when guilt can come because if the 208 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,959 person is out of his mind because he has 209 00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:42,479 psychc problem you canot say he Express 210 00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:44,560 his will he doesn't know what he's doing 211 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,600 so rather than judge him take him to 212 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,760 prison they will take him to hospital 213 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,279 for treatment and that was the right 214 00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,600 judgment right but in the case we're 215 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760 talking about when they brought the 216 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,519 woman to Jesus Jesus looked at him said 217 00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:00,000 if any of you has not never committed 218 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,399 sin be the first to throw the 219 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:06,959 stor I just love that word that Jesus 220 00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:09,720 spoke because it just shows that Jesus 221 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,640 is the father of every heart every heart 222 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,120 from now till the end of the ages and 223 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,480 everyone has to answer to him whether we 224 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,800 understand it or not or we realize it or 225 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,839 not we do have to answer to him and that 226 00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:26,279 is why he he knew what had happened in 227 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,160 each person's heart because he knew the 228 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,000 motive and that's he only he was in the 229 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,880 position to say that judgment rightful 230 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,839 judgment is to get into the heart of the 231 00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:41,000 matter and you can't do that without the 232 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,079 Holy Spirit no you because the holy 233 00:09:43,079 --> 00:09:44,640 spirit always gets into the heart of the 234 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,560 matter he never judges situation by Fai 235 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:50,519 Val or by hear say or by what situation 236 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,079 looks like he looks beyond to the heart 237 00:09:53,079 --> 00:09:55,600 to find up the motivation of the person 238 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600 behind that action we should not be 239 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000 quick to judge not be too quick to judge 240 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,360 judge if the rightful judge who sees a 241 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,600 heart does not rush into judgment why 242 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,720 should we rush into judgment that's why 243 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,519 many relationships have been 244 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:11,120 so 245 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,720 strained because we we we judge people 246 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,519 on on today okay and we don't know what 247 00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:19,480 tomorrow brings husband and wife today 248 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,640 we have many if I ask if we are honest 249 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,040 we have so many marriages relationship 250 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,880 marri to relationship that are strain 251 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880 today because of this 252 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,440 mindset marriage is a Unity of heart and 253 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,079 purpose and mind the heart agrees right 254 00:10:39,079 --> 00:10:41,079 if our heart agrees we should not have 255 00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:43,800 any division in our hearts and that's 256 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,320 why God said in the Book of Malachi 257 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,399 chapter 2 I am the witness of your 258 00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,360 wedding that's what God said be careful 259 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,279 that in your heart you will not betray 260 00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:54,880 your wife or your husband the heart 261 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,920 that's why Jesus say if a man looks at a 262 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,079 woman it his heart without saying any 263 00:10:59,079 --> 00:10:59,760 words 264 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,720 but desire to have relation with a woman 265 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,720 he has committed adultery in his 266 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,680 heart Jesus always gets into the heart 267 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,760 of the matter the heart and he said if 268 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,800 anyone of you has not committed any sin 269 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,079 be the first to throw he just 270 00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:15,760 demonstrated with just that sentence 271 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,079 that he's the father of every heart 272 00:11:17,079 --> 00:11:20,040 absolutely by saying this the motivation 273 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,279 what brought that woman to that act 274 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:25,240 however sinful it is the same Temptation 275 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,399 everybody's faced today the hierarchy of 276 00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,480 sin can only be determined by Jesus sin 277 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,440 sin lying is sin killing is sin the sin 278 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,560 of Adam just disobeying to 279 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,240 Adam the SE of Adam that disob eating a 280 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,360 food and say how can this bring death to 281 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,720 him not only to him but to the whole 282 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,920 world what matters is not the action but 283 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,240 the motivation behind the action we have 284 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,160 time to talk about it in in depth but if 285 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,200 you see yeah because he willfully 286 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,120 disobeyed God and he had chance to 287 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,560 repent and he didn't good if I see you 288 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,279 doing something which does not seem 289 00:12:04,279 --> 00:12:06,600 right to me which does not 290 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,399 seem instead of me praying over it or 291 00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,639 asking you I come to a conclusion 292 00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,279 because I expect you to do right thing 293 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:19,000 so I said ah what she did it seems 294 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,320 strength to me instead of inquiring from 295 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,000 God or finding out you come to Quick 296 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160 mindset and judgment that's why mindset 297 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,720 is a problem negative mindset negative 298 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000 mindset bad feeling towards others 299 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,399 prejudgment which is fed by pure 300 00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:35,720 ignorance can come to a judgment wrong 301 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,600 judgment that's why I was thinking at 302 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,839 the I said at the beginning that we as 303 00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:41,560 Believers you know we we are supposed to 304 00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:43,240 be with a difference we're in this world 305 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:49,040 but not part of it so we should refrain 306 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,279 from allowing our hearts to be drawn to 307 00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:55,000 division to 308 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,600 judgment um to anger to bitterness when 309 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,600 we see or hear things that's happening 310 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,760 around us and rather we should we should 311 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,480 do what is good to change the bad we see 312 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,040 be a force for love judgment is is 313 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,440 double edged sword you can judge what is 314 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,440 not 315 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,440 right but you must have a sense of 316 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,040 judgment to do what is right and that is 317 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,079 what I want to say if I have judgment is 318 00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:20,480 not just to say this is bad this is bad 319 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,079 but the rightful judgment say this is 320 00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:23,560 good this is what you should 321 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:28,199 do yes it's a double side what I mean 322 00:13:28,199 --> 00:13:30,240 okay when I enter into relationship with 323 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,040 the 324 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360 person what is the motivation to say 325 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,279 this is the person this is this before 326 00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:38,800 you go the Bible says inquire from God 327 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,440 when you inquire from God you have the 328 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,800 rightful Judgment of anything you do you 329 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,760 will know the right place to go the 330 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,440 right type of people to meet the right 331 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,160 type of job to have that's rightful 332 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,560 judgment we need to have the positive 333 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,240 side of it if we have rightful judgment 334 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,000 and that cannot happen without inquiring 335 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,800 from the Holy Spirit then we should 336 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,720 guard against judging people 337 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,519 because no one is righteous not even one 338 00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:04,199 without Holy Ghost we cannot get into 339 00:14:04,199 --> 00:14:07,160 the heart of the matter if you ask 340 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,199 anyone who is honest and sincere what 341 00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:11,600 type of person I want to marry I want to 342 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,959 live in they will mention criteria that 343 00:14:14,959 --> 00:14:18,959 are all based on the 344 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,519 outside beautiful beautiful eyes 345 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:23,519 beautiful nose beautiful body tall 346 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:25,759 whatever everybody has his own how how 347 00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:27,600 do you call it 348 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,639 preferences but 349 00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:31,639 the most important is the inside who we 350 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,399 talk about the heart a man or woman that 351 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:36,160 fears God that's the 352 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,480 heart our heart does things before our 353 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,759 mouth that's the 354 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:43,800 motivation that's why the Bible say when 355 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800 you think 356 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,759 negatively you are bound to speak 357 00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:49,920 negatively and act 358 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,120 negatively that's why the Lord warns 359 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680 everybody in that Matthew chter 360 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,959 15:8 that what defiles us is what comes 361 00:14:57,959 --> 00:15:01,839 from our mouth all our motivation anger 362 00:15:01,839 --> 00:15:04,839 resentment divorce separation attack 363 00:15:04,839 --> 00:15:07,519 always come from the heart of a 364 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,079 person that's why remember what Peter 365 00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:12,680 said to ananas in act chapter 366 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,079 5 that's that's a clear example of 367 00:15:15,079 --> 00:15:18,440 judgment let's take the example at early 368 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,600 church in the 369 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,480 beginning the disciples were selling all 370 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,199 their 371 00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:26,120 properties and bring it in common in the 372 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,639 treasury so anybody who's in need 373 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,959 receive help right yeah we have Anan and 374 00:15:31,959 --> 00:15:35,160 sa Safa they came

free it's your free will 389 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:10,959 offering from your heart but they were 390 00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:13,560 trying to but they came to say they're 391 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,160 entirely from Jesus the house is sold at 392 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,680 this 393 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,279 price Peter was a man led by the Holy 394 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:22,920 Ghost with rightful 395 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000 judgment inquire from the Holy Spirit 396 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,199 the Holy Spirit revealed to him the 397 00:16:26,199 --> 00:16:27,759 truth that the P of house is not what 398 00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:30,000 they said this the real 399 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,319 price when Peter heard this what did he 400 00:16:33,319 --> 00:16:35,639 say he said you have sinned against the 401 00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:38,079 Holy Spirit why you allow Satan to fill 402 00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:40,560 your heart so that you can lie to the

should be extremely careful of my 420 00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:25,319 thoughts first before I talk about my 421 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,000 words because everything starts in the 422 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,200 thoughts m 423 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,400 that's why as a Christian a Believer 424 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,039 should be careful of what he looks at 425 00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:37,799 what he sees what he touches that can 426 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,240 influence his 427 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,640 thoughts bad feelings negative thoughts 428 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,760 start from here you don't need to 429 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,120 express it but God hears it and it 430 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:48,120 matters to the Holy Spirit that's why 431 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,120 when we have the sensitivity of God's 432 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:51,480 presence in our heart through the Holy 433 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Ghost anytime our mind begin to drift 434 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,200 towards something that's not 435 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,200 right your conscious will dud 436 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,120 immediately because of who because the 437 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,000 Holy Ghost will prompt your heart before 438 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,960 you step into action that's why we need 439 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,159 to be always be sensitive to the voice 440 00:18:06,159 --> 00:18:07,840 of our conscience because that's how the 441 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840 Holy Spirit speaks to us absolutely 442 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,440 that's why Jam say nobody can tempt God 443 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,000 canot be tempted but sin is when we are 444 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,919 attracted by our own Desire by our own 445 00:18:17,919 --> 00:18:20,840 will that we then we are enticed to fall 446 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,080 into the temptation of prejudgment Jud 447 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,480 judging others the question is the 448 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280 person you are judging today no matter 449 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,799 how bad the person may seem Look to You 450 00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:33,320 on human 451 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,400 judgment ask yourself what does Jesus 452 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,080 think about that person because we we 453 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,880 are not God we have to keep reminding 454 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,640 ourselves that God's standard of 455 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,200 judgment is different from our own God 456 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,120 tests our heart to reward us because 457 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,960 he's his focus is the motive behind what 458 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,679 we do exact Soul we know Soul we know 459 00:18:56,679 --> 00:19:01,000 Soul who was soul well Saul was the one 460 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,280 who was persecuting all the Christians 461 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,320 yes terribly in a very harsh weight 462 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,640 forces them to 463 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,400 blashe he was his chosen vessel yes no 464 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,080 when he was going to persecute the 465 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,000 people in Damascus having letters of 466 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,760 recommendation from the teachers of the 467 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,559 law Steven he stood there as Steven was 468 00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:23,080 killed and stoned to death yes that was 469 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,080 his Zeal but he had a Zeal for the law 470 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,039 of Moses but Zeal marked with with 471 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:31,200 ignorance of spiritual 472 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,840 things he judges the situation on the 473 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,600 letter we judge but the word of God we 474 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,120 approach it in the letter we have the 475 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:41,360 wrong judgment there's a letter of the 476 00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:44,480 word there a spirit of the of the word 477 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,120 wait say that again there's the letter 478 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,360 of the word and we have the spirit of 479 00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:50,600 the word the Divine meaning of the word 480 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,360 so you can be very 481 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:55,600 committed zealous for towards the letter 482 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,240 of the word and yet completely missing 483 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,440 the point if it's not spirit is not in 484 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,720 truth and so it's all nothing that's 485 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,760 what Jesus said to them if you know that 486 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,880 I Del like Mercy you will never condemn 487 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,679 innocent people that's what Jesus said 488 00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:11,640 Jesus met ananas one of the disciples 489 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,320 who knew who Soul was in the dream and 490 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,440 when Jesus mentioned the name of Saul he 491 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,799 say hey Lord this man is a wolf he's a 492 00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,080 terrible person no I mean just think 493 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,640 about it in today's society if someone 494 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,159 who's 495 00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:29,559 publicly persecuted in people that 496 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:32,720 believe in Jesus and then suddenly God 497 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,120 reveals to you that oh this is actually 498 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:36,919 the one I want to use as my chosen 499 00:20:36,919 --> 00:20:39,720 vessel wow and that's what happened and 500 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,080 I mean yeah motivation behind the action 501 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,320 of Soul was pure ignorance he had a Zeal 502 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,799 without knowledge and he even said it in 503 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:53,200 that book of Timothy chapter 1 but now 504 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,400 what was the answer of Jesus to him he's 505 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,640 My Chosen vessel God does not consider 506 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,600 our now our past to determine our future 507 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,559 we need to understand that because Jesus 508 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,000 is a tomorrow thinker he has Vision 509 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320

then he can 558 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,640 do it for everyone that is why we 559 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,400 shouldn't judge anyone on account of 560 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,640 today because tomorrow is a mystery so 561 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,400 when the Pharisees brought that lady 562 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,360 they were considering her 563 00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,960 but you say rightfully that tomorrow is 564 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,960 a mystery that only God knows when Jesus 565 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,279 is correcting you and me all of us it's 566 00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:38,760 because of the 567 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,720 future when God say don't do 568 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,679 this you may not do it today but you may 569 00:23:44,679 --> 00:23:48,400 do it tomorrow correction judgment 570 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,799 everything God has spoken through the 571 00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,000 mouth of the Prophet as a warning is for 572 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,159 the future when God said to the Prophet 573 00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:57,080 Jeremiah tell them that if they continue 574 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,760 to do this I will send the enemy 575 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,799 nebukadnezar will come he will burn the 576 00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:04,120 city he will kill everybody but God was 577 00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:06,880 saying this to trigger a sense of 578 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,799 repentance say hey God sorry we come 579 00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:11,480 back we stop doing evil we come back to 580 00:24:11,480 -->

00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,000 looking at as well that will determine 584 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:19,799 your 585 00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:22,640 future your response to correction this 586 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,640 ter is your future and when we talk 587 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,240 about correction here we mean correction 588 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,679 in the power of the Holy Spirit 589

judgment there's a 598 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:49,200 difference between correction and 599 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,760 judgment 600 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,840 judgment is a mindset a preset judgment 601 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,279 in your mind already you have decided to 602 00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:58,480 judge the person already but correction 603 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,320 is to help someone is to help the person 604 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,480 to change how do you correct the person 605 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,039 don't say hey this is bad you are this 606 00:25:05,039
