      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://messiahschurch.com/mc/Blog/Entries/2012/2/20_Judgmental_Guidelines_files/girls-holding-hands.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://messiahschurch.com/mc/Blog/Media/object005_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:216px; height:123px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Judgment..  It is an unavoidable step in the life of anyone. Having to choose between Right and Wrong is what sets it up. The key to wholeness is not be involved personally. The Way thru it with Righteousness intact is to never speak it to a person, but rather to a situation. The life out of it is to know you did not pass sentence, but simply held to Truth at a Crossroads of decision.&lt;br/&gt;To be approved by GOD The FATHER in a situation where others felt you judged, but you felt you held to His Ways, is to have never stopped loving or caring and wishing for their best.   Here are some guidelines (two, perhaps more another time) for this unavoidable step that leads everyone to have to know what to do when we don't want to do it.  When we are right and they are wrong, we are wrong.. Though Truth in Jesus may weigh in, His Word tells us agree with the adversary in the way.. &lt;br/&gt;There are no complete innocents and complete wrongs.. We are in this together till the end..There is a lot to do before we could get to the ground of believing them completely wrong and us completely right. Preferring our brother is one. Honoring the weaker member is two. You who are strong strengthening the weaker, and covering a multitude of sins is three. Four is speaking The Truth in love. &lt;br/&gt;This fourth is what we believe we do, but imagine how difficult it is to actually speak JESUS. None are so perfect, so love kicks in as the balancer. Look at what Love is listed as..suffers long, endures anything ever thrown at it (endures all things). Hope the case is proven.. When we believe we are completely Right, that belief goes against the preponderance of Scripture, and so, we are wrong.. &lt;br/&gt;Someone who can believe they are wrong is on the right path. The subtle pride that sneaks in to ensnare us all is what must be guarded against, but we are now in the beam and mote land, where what we see in another is what is in us, which is why we were able to spot it when another missed it. Who is the Righteous one before GOD. FATHER, forgive me, a sinner.. &lt;br/&gt; When we are always correcting any correction, we are in need of correction. Correction is 3/4's The Word OF GOD.. All scripture is profitable for..Teaching is good, but unheeded, the same scripture becomes the Correction of why we couldn't receive it, then the same scripture Instructs us in Righteousness after it reproves us, which Heaven backs up in manifest realms of relationships, finances etc. &lt;br/&gt;No one knows enough of how to get back to what Adam had, we can discard Correction where needed. Steering wheels exist on cars because traveling has bumps in the road. It's not flat out there. The ebb and flow of tides requires checking the ship's rudder 24 hrs a day, while at sea. Navigating life requires correction. If this were not so, we could raise up a child in the way it ought to go without any disciplines.&lt;br/&gt; The WORD IS GOD, and GOD is right and every man, no exceptions is a liar anytime our life is off where the WORD is on, and who is so perfect, this never happens to them. Correct a wise man, and..the scripture says.. he will increase in wisdom.. Wisdom is life from GOD's perspective. It is wanting to be Right that has to be corrected. Wanting GOD to be known for who HE is, is the Right we are to desire. His Will is what we all want to speak out of, and it cant be recognized except in HIS Kingdom.. In HIS Kingdom, there are Commands, and Love, Blessings and Fun, Exploits and learnings.. But Commands come with a KING.. &lt;br/&gt;Ask ourselves, are we Commandable. LOVE is GOD and Good, but we must not be guilty of being in love with the idea of someone loving us. This is puppy love, and we don't want puppy love toward GOD. LOVE IS the Highest Expression of GOD our FATHER, In JESUS' NAME, by LORD HOLY SPIRIT, Sir.. and it is not a one way street. &lt;br/&gt;If The Bride never told the Bridegroom it loved HIM more than itself, what heighth of Love could it experience. JESUS SAID (this is GOD Talking now)..Why call me LORD, LORD, and Do Not the things I say.. Plugged in to LOVE still has Commands.. &lt;br/&gt;If we are Commandable, we are Correctable, and Instructable in Righteousness, being able to receive Reproof. If life reproves, and we can look to ourselves and say, FATHER, what are YOU Saying to me personally first, before all other responses from the heart, we are on course, are part of the Remnant Bride, Love GOD and His Church and His World more than ourselves, we are presenting our bodies a sacrifice while still alive inside, which is buying Gold and Reserve oil at the time of Gold and Oil, we have listened and heard the Council of JESUS, I counsel you..and we will not judge wrongly, even though we get ordered to know it where necessary.. May HIS PEACE Guard your heart and mine, while you stay plugged in to JESUS. your brother/C-mor..&lt;br/&gt;</description>

America thinks organization equals Heavenly Mandate, so much so, the more organized the work, the more it reaches and the more we heed it with validity. For certain, Organization places a network outward, becoming what people can choose to relate to. No Army functions without Organization, but there is a way that seems foolish, yet it can contain the very Wisdom of GOD to those who have an ear. JESUS HAS To Build The House. He is the Foundation of every thought and motive, He is the Entry to every access of the soul and spirit, and He is the Finisher of &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    The Race we all run. When man comes up with a Plan, it propogates itself thru Cloned reproduction. Everyone does the same thing all over till we believe it got done. IF JESUS Did not DO it, it didnt get done. Work, time, effort, monies spent, calls and contacts and meetings and assemblies and shouts and declarations only matter when the Origins, the Plan, the Labors and the Finalizations ALL are JESUS.. If it didnt start with Seeking, it didnt originate from Heaven. If the Direction is out of Hearing GOD Speak His Will, it did..Make certain we do nothing without HIM being The Beginning, The Center, and The End..</description>

Wherever my heart has drifted or gotten lukewarm, return me back to You. God, I give You permission to do whatever it takes to make me wholly Yours. Set my heart on fire for You. Send a holy ambush of Your Spirit into my life to usher me out of the ruts that have hindered me from being a dreamer, a lover and a warrior.&lt;br/&gt;Please forgive me for ___________ (here be as specific as you can be and take as long as you need). Thank You for Your total forgiveness of my sins. That is such a precious gift to me.&lt;br/&gt;How I ache to know You more! Draw me close and speak tenderly to my heart. I want to develop a secret history with You, Lord. Captivate my heart with the gazes of Your eyes. I want to see You face-to-face and not through the lattice, as Your Word says. Put Your seal on my heart so I am fully Yours..&lt;br/&gt;Now, Lord, I ask You to release the fiery whirlwind of Your presence with a fresh impartation of Your heart into my heart. I ask You to revolutionize my life from the inside out. Let an earthquake in my heart break up the fallow ground. Let the lightning of God strike me so that I become God-conscious instead of self-conscious.&lt;br/&gt;Jesus, I am ready to give up control of my life and put You in charge again. Forgive me for thinking that I know what is best for my life. It is hard for me to let go; the warfare has been so intense and the storms of life so great. But I can see that my way is not working. I am heartsick about my life. I want to run to You and not from You. Give me grace and humility to accept Your timing in my life.&lt;br/&gt;Burn in me a holy desperation and craving for You. I need a profound touch from You, a fresh baptism of fire from the Holy Spirit. I want a force field of Your glory surrounding me so I am dangerous for God. Will You radiate Your love and power through my life so I can do exploits as You promised?&lt;br/&gt;I want to be a carrier of Your glory and go outside the walls of the church, touching people in every arena of life. Lord, I want to know the times and seasons we live in.&lt;br/&gt;Let me see people through Your eyes and not my own; help me feel Your heart for those around me. Break my heart for the lost. Cause revival to burn so deeply in my spirit that others cannot help but be changed by coming in contact with me.&lt;br/&gt;I do not want business as usual, Jesus! I want a radical visitation from You. I must have a visitation. I want an open Heaven over my life. Will You help me to legislate Your mandates from Heaven, to bring them to earth so I see things from Your perspective and not my own? I am asking You for divine strategies so Your Kingdom will come.&lt;br/&gt;Open my eyes so that I can see what is happening in the realm of the Spirit. How I need keen discernment for the days I live in. I want to get Your plans, Your blueprints so I do not build on the &amp;quot;land mines&amp;quot; the enemy has planned for me.&lt;br/&gt;I want my heart to bless Your heart and give You the love that You deserve. Awaken my heart to worship You. I want to be one who desires You only.&lt;br/&gt;Lord, I want to give You my life no matter what the cost. Even as You died for me, help me to be willing to die for You. You are worth everything I have. All I am--my past, present and future--is at the foot of the Cross. Take all of me.&lt;br/&gt;Help me to be a big dreamer with You, dreamer God.&lt;br/&gt;Help me to be an extravagant lover of You, my Bridegroom.&lt;br/&gt;Help me to be a fierce warrior for You, my King.  Amen.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt; </description>

      <title>A Cry for Holiness</title>

By Grace and hunger, the saint possesses this, never out of our own works. When we do what is wrong our conscience warns us that this is not right.  We have hardened our hearts  so many times that we no longer hear the warnings not to lust, steal, commit adultery, speak against our neighbor, forgive others, so that we might be forgiven.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We as a people have lost our way.  The church is to be the salt of the earth. If the church has lost it’s heart to preserve the truths, and the holiness of God, the world has no standards to observe.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The church has just as many divorces, and those that are in immoral acts as the world.  We need to cry for mercy.  We need to repent and turn from our wicked ways so that the world might have a chance.  Without the church having a standard,  the world does not have a chance. We are to be the children of Light, the people of hope.  Our lights should shine so bright that those in need of hope can watch our holy living and not feel condemned, but find hope.  To see us is to recognize there is an anchor, there is a shelter from the storms of their lives, but if we live like the world there is no hope for a future.  We must turn back to Jesus with all our hearts and be holy as He is Holy. We must DO what is right in the SIGHT of the Lord.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There is a need to CRY FOR HOLINESS!!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Jurena Cook</description>
