Matthew 7:1-2

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Key word is judge. In this life we’re consonantly judging our situations, our families, friends and jobs. Being a judge, if you look at that word, it implicates to condemn, punish, avenge, conclude, damn, decree, determine; the Greek word for Judge is: kree’-no which means to decide. When you look at the triune structure of man, we tend to judge from our soul, not from the Spirit of God inside. Our souls contain our imagination, conscience, memory, affections, and reason. When we make a determination about a situation, or in other words judge, we’re not basing our judgement on facts, were basing our judgement on what our soul says or psyche. So, if we have preconceived notions about a thing, person, or situation, then we’re going to make a judgement call based on our experience with that situation we’ve encountered in the past. So to make a fair and Godly type judgement, we need to allow the spirit that God has placed in every human being be the deciding factor in our decision making. I advise you if you don’t know to go to the resources, under articles, and look up the Triune Structure of Man, and use that as your footnote for Matthew 7. It explains to you how man perceives his world around him.

² For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

When you make a judgement and don’t have the right decision making structure, when the judgement is made and wrong because you don’t have the information, the Word is saying that that same judgement will be placed on your head. Whatever results come from that judgement being made it shall be also placed upon you. Some people like to say that the Lord says we will judge the world (1 Corinthians 6:2). Yes when He comes back because you’ll have already been worth to judge the world. As long as we have a fleshly nature, and our souls are the determining factors for judging other or a situation, we will not come up with a righteous judgement. That is why the Word of God tells us not to judge, because when we do, we have issues going on with ourselves. There is a saying I heard my family say: “The pot can’t call the kettle black, when they’re both black.” You can’t find problems with me because you have your own. What makes you think you can decide judgement over me when you have issues? The fact of the matter remains is this: as it says in the Word of God, judge not.

³ And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

You making a determination about someone else’s sin and your the biggest sinner in there. You nit pick over someone else life, about the little things you think are important to you because it effects you and low and behold, you’re jacked up. God does not want us to go around and find fault with people concerning their walk, their talk, and concerning their views on life.

⁴ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? ⁵ Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. ⁶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

You sit there and judge a person to the untimpth degree, and judge in their life what you perceive, according to your understanding, but after you make that determination that this person is guilty based on your understanding, then you see yourself as being a righteous judge, and begin to pronounce punishment for the judgment. A lot of times people them to point their fingers at other people to hid their own sin so no one will notice them, so they won’t be found out. So the innocent will be crucified and judged. And what innocent person in the Bible was judged and accused wrongly?  Our Lord and Savior Jesus, wrongly accused, lied upon then the sentence of death placed upon His head. Have you crucified someone lately and the sentence was placed on their head, all because of what you said, your testimony? Have you placed someones life in jeopardy because of a lie you told in your judgment of a situation, thereby leading them to be wrongly accused. If so, then you need to cross examine your intentions. You need to begin to judge yourself, and if you find yourself guilty, do you want that same punishment placed upon your head?

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.⁹ Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?¹⁰ Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?¹² Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Would you want to get the same judgment you passed on another? That’s the situation judgment. What Judgement? So why would you pronounce the sentence of death on someone because you don’t like what they stand for, or because you don’t like what they look like, or you don’t like that they have more than what you have. I tell you jealousy, envy has cause a lot of false judgment in this world today, and in the House of God. You have son against father, father against son, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother, saint and saint, pastors against pastors, bishops against pastors, bishops against pastors and pastors against bishops, all because of jealousy and envy. If both of you believe in God, how long halt you between two opinions. If God be God serve Him. But I dare you having an ought against your brother or sister, and you allow it to harm your brother or sister. A lot of us have killed and destroyed our bothers and sisters and ministries all because of a lie, envy, jealousy. What about husbands and wives? Sometimes, husbands get jealous of the wife because she is more popular than he is, and vice versa. A lot of times wife’s get jealous of husbands because they have more charisma, people look up to them more than they do their spouse, causing division in the house. Satan doesn’t care who you are, what you are, if he can get you to judge brother, sister, husband or wife, and it destroys that union, he’s won. So, I ask you in closing, have you judged someone today? The word of God tells us that, if you have an ought against your brother or sister, go to them get it straight. If they won’t hear you than take a witness with you. And if they don’t hear you, bring them up before the Pastor of the Church, so that things can be resolved, because Satan only comes to kill, steal, and destroy relationships, ministries, and anything God has ordained to be establish on this earth.
