What To Do When 

You're Being Judged By The World

Part 3

What To Do When You're Being Judged By The World:

• Accept the Will of God. Your tests and trials are by no means accidental.
• Acknowledge that you are not alone and will never be alone
• Realize that it's not about you--it's about God.
• Humble yourself and die to the flesh.
• Know that you are being tested not only by man, but, by God, also.
• REMEMBER THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. Trust and obey. It is not for you or man to understand everything. We will understand by and by.
• Know that good will come out of this.
• Guard your heart and tongue. Sometimes, others need not know of your tests or suffering. Protect your family and friends by not involving them, unless it be the Will of God. You must keep others from sinning and doing harm. Therefore, there are times when you must remain silent or tell others to keep silent.
• Bear the Cross, even when no one else will.
• Avoid having unrealistic expectations. Don't expect friends, family, etc. to understand what is happening to you, join you, or be on your side. Don't dwell on having someone on your side. God is on your side. He is enough and with Christ, you are enough, or He wouldn't have chosen you.
• Do not expect to make your accusers or observers your friends. They serve a purpose in that God allows them to be a part of His plan.
• Do all things in love for the glory of God and for the good of the Kingdom.
• Be slow to anger, but, do not hold back righteous anger to glorify God.
• Pray for protection
• Pray increasingly and unceasingly
• Commune with your Heavenly Father unceasingly. Just talk to Him and listen for His voice.
• Ask God for guidance and endurance.
• Abide in Jesus and the Holy Spirit and let them abide and be manifested through you.
• Be Fruitful always, staying connected to the Vine.
• Acknowledge and never forget who you are in Christ.
• Live in Holiness and Righteousness.
• When they place you under a microscope, do not be afraid to show them who you are. You have personality, but your character is that of God.
• Do not let your lack of privacy fill you with shame of your body, circumstances, or mannerisms. Pride is the mind-killer.
• Know that the world is unable to see or understand that as long as you have the Character of God, God fights for you, for the battle is not yours, but the Lord's.
• Know that your strength comes from God, not the flesh.
• Know that your Peace is Christ Jesus. Hide yourself in Him, especially when your privacy is taken away. Cling to the Rock.
• Allow God to use you. He cannot use you if you are in self. The Holy Spirit will be manifested through you in ways you have not experienced before. Surrender your will and allow God to use you in a mighty way. Stay humble. You are nothing and can do nothing without God.
• Speak Truth without fear. Listen for God's voice and speak what He tells you to speak. He will tell you what to say to your accusers and observers and when to say it.
• Treat each day and live each day anew. Do not dwell on the past or worry about tomorrow.
• Wait patiently for your change to come.
• Trust God throughout your pain and suffering.
• Ask Jesus to increase your faith.
• Know that ALL things are possible for those that love the Lord.
• Evaluate the method by which you are being judged. This will remind you that you are being judged by the world. How can the world judge and what is the weight of their judgment?
• Understand that man and the world has limited sight.
• If possible, assess your accusers and observers so that you may help them with Truth.
• Pray for your accusers and observers, even your enemies.
• Understand that the world cannot understand you or God.
• Understand that the world is at enmity with God. The world cannot and will not be your friend.
• Realize that the world is not looking for what God is looking for, especially in you.
• Realize that the world can only see what God allows it to see. Its observations are in vain if it does not have God's Light.
• Understand that you are preparing the way for those to follow you and preparing the way for our Savior's return.
• Understand that the witnesses in the future will need your testimony and find strength from them, for they, too, will come to be judged by the world.
• Obey the commandments of Yeshua to love unconditionally, spread the gospel, and STAND until the end.
• Know that whatever happens God will take care of you. You have nothing to fear.
• Praise God throughout your trials and tribulations. Lift him up in song and word.
• Listen to what God puts upon your heart, whether it be song or word, it is important and will strengthen and keep you. It will lift your Spirit and give you power to conquer.
• Do not be dismayed. The Body of Christ works together on your behalf. We are One.

Once again, I find myself in a precarious position, of my own making, but not of my own choosing. -And, I must ponder if this is what God has been preparing me for all of these years? Then, I must come to the conclusion that of course it is. You see, you must realize that when you walk with Jesus, along the journey, you're going to change and while you change, He is going to increase your faith. -But what does increasing your faith entail? It often involves a detour to the past to retrace your steps when you were weak to strengthen you and increase your faith. It often involves affirmation and confirmation of what you have already learned or already know.

So, here I am, once again, on display. I'll call myself, Charlotte, for now. I am Charlotte and I am a prophetess. -And these days it's pretty hard to believe in prophets, because the devil is counterfeiting everything that belongs to God. I know that presents a problem for me, also. I have learned not to expect validation from the world. When things get tough, I have to remind myself that the Holy Spirit could have rejected me. Then, I, too, would be of the world.

On my present journey into the past, I find myself, once again using my God given talents to play to an audience. My audience loves what I do. I play to them and entertain them in various ways. I appeal to that which they claim to love, but, when the music stops, after the applause and appreciation, we drift apart. We are no longer intertwined in a web of harmony. They leave, satisfied for the moment that they have briefly indulged in the sanctity of fellowship and love. -And, I know, that like the food they have tasted and consumed, I can never truly be a part of them, for I too, am consumed for their brief pleasure and entertainment. They cannot see the wrong in this for they are blinded to the part they play in this theatrical presentation that repeats itself again and again. So, it is I who must show compassion, forgiveness, love, and hope.

Yes, the pain no longer consumes me and taunts me. You see, things change when you realize not everything is about you. I no longer ponder why Jesus has taken me here to the memories of childhood feelings of emptiness and loneliness. I know why, just as the spider knows why it must weave an intricate pattern within its web to strengthen it. Faith is a journey of fortitude and strength. To be fishers of men, like the spider, our nets must be strong and our mind, body, and spirit strong enough to endure. Greater faith demands greater endurance for great will be that which is required of you. Have patience and wait on the Lord.

As I walk this path of reminiscence and pain of the past, Satan taunts me. You're all alone in the world he chants and whispers, as if he can weaken me and remove the foundation beneath me. -But, now, I am anchored. Now, I know without doubt that I am never alone and never will be again. Yet, this does not stop him from returning to try again. So, this journey God has taken me on can only lead to greater faith and greater endurance. As I walked this journey before, I neither acknowledged the presence of God, nor realized that He is and has been my help and my strength, but I was as a child and thought as a child.

When I tell you that you will be judged by the world, you do not have to look beyond your shoulder to find those who will test your faith. You do not even have to go to them. They will come to you as they have come to me. Do not give up. Do not faint. Continue to cast your net far and wide, speaking the Truth in all things with love.

WHY INCREASE YOUR FAITH?

Hebrews 12:2 King James Version
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Are you prepared to be a witness for those who walk by faith and not by sight? The Believer of Today may not be concerned with increasing their faith. They may believe that the faith they are functioning with is adequate and sufficient for them and for other Believers. Their level of faith may define them and the religion that they practice, but is today's faith really sufficient for tomorrow? Do we know what tomorrow will bring? Can we be assured that we are prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow with the faith that we possess today? Is our faith sufficient to Prepare the Way for the Coming of Christ? Are we prepared and equipped Saints, in that our faith will sustain us through the trials and tribulations of tomorrow, even the Rapture? Are we prepared to be persecuted because of our faith? Is there a level of faith where you are beyond compromise? Have you reached it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being judged by others can lead us into a trap to where self and pride arises within us. We can fall into the trap of vengeance, spite, irritation, frustration, anxiety, depression, and adapt to the ways of the world, gossiping, backbiting and fighting against one another. We are not here to judge those who judge us, or, to criticize and tear down others, due to our own expectations. Remember that something can always be done better, therefore, we don't judge people by our own expectations. We leave that up to God. A person can still be fruitful and productive, fulfilling their purpose, although, the task could be done better.

Neither do we judge ourselves by our own expectations for we can hinder ourselves. If we are perfectionist, we will never find the perfection we are seeking, for something can always be and will be done better. We must look beyond self and self-expectations, fueled by pride. To be fruitful is to be connected to the Vine, bearing the Fruit of God's Holy Spirit. If all things are done in love, we have met the expectations and purpose created by God and therefore are pleasing in His sight. 

Be not a hindrance to yourself or to others. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Encourage one another while you lift up the name of the Lord on High. Think it not a simple thing to speak harshly against one another lest you fall into temptation and sin. Be thou Holy and Righteous in the sight of God and not unto thyself. Whereas, self-righteousness is self-serving and can only cover you in darkness.  Guard thy tongue lest darkness enter thy mouth and unknowingly you are left void of Light.

Follow not after the ways of the world whereas one must always judge the abilities of another, making thyself an exception to the rule, wanting no one to tread upon your feelings. Remember that with God, all things are possible, not by thy way or will, but, by the way and will of God. Therefore, lean not to thy own understanding, for God has infinite ways to turn the wind and grind the wheat. He determines what is finished and what is good. Man's eyesight is fixed upon himself although he lacks the infinite wisdom of God and power to increase the harvest and make it bountiful and sufficient. Think not on how you believe something must be done my child. Have I not shown you how I make a way out of no way?

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. Thank you, Father. I love you. Be encouraged my brothers and sisters. We are One.

Your servant and soldier, by the Will and Way of God,

Mishael

SELF REFLECTION: A Look in the Mirror

Once again, when we look at Jesus' parables, He is challenging us to examine where our heart lies. Closely examining your heart, answer the following questions.

DISCUSS your answers with a mature Believer who can guide you in your spiritual relationship with Jesus and our Father, and/or have group discussions to learn from those who have different experiences and perspectives.

QUESTIONS: Write down your questions and discuss them with a mature Believer or submit them to:
https://fsasw.blogspot.com

1. Has your faith been tested?  Really tested?  How do you know?
2. How do you prepare for your faith to be tested?  Can you prepare?  What does the Word of God Say?
3. How was Abraham's faith tested?
4. How was Job's faith tested?
5. How was Jesus's faith tested in the desert?
6. Have you prepared your children for their faith to be tested?
7. Why is our faith tested?
8. Who can test our faith?
9. Who will test our faith? Why would the enemy want to test your faith?
10. What is faith?
11. Is all faith the same?
12. If faith cannot be seen, then, how can it be tested?
13. How do you know your faith is being tested?
14. If God created faith, is there power in faith? Whose power?
15. Who increases our faith?
16. True or False. If there is only ONE faith and Jesus is the Author and Finisher of Faith, meaning that the Word of God is the Author and Finisher of Faith; and given that faith can be found in all people, in all walks of life, then, therefore, the increase in one's faith, no matter who they are is because of Jesus. Therefore, the presence of Jesus, whether we accept Him as the Son of God, or not, manifests itself through those who have faith; for the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) is inseparable. Hence, the Word of God, which is God, who is omnipresent, is manifested through people who have faith. Therefore, can we question the origin of one's faith if it is placed upon the Word of God, which is Truth?
17. True or False. God within His infinite Wisdom, Grace, and Mercy, has chosen to look beyond our faults to see our needs. Through Jesus, the Kingdom of God is at hand to those who have faith, even as tiny as a mustard seed. 
18. Knowing that the beginning and ending of faith is attached to the Word of God who is God Incarnate, Christ Jesus, can we as men and Children of God judge the faith of others?
19. If not, can we as Believers in the Word of God, Christ Jesus, then come to look beyond the faults of others and see their needs, knowing that we are all in the beginning of our faith, which He has authored or created within us and it shall be He, Christ Jesus, who shall seal the end, when every knee shall bow and profess that He is the Son of God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords? 
20. Does this not give evidence to the power of faith to change people, circumstances, and the physical and spiritual world? Why or why not?
    

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES 

Revelation 7 King James Version
7 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.


Hebrews 12 King James Version

12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.


Jude KJV

1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
