PAUL AND JESUS: CONFLICT?

“But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”
1 Corinthians 2:15 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1co.2.15.kjv 
To many people, this verse seems to conflict with what Jesus said in Matthew 7. Let's read it ourselves: "Judge not, that ye be not judged.”
Matthew 7:1 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.7.1.kjv 
This is the very verse that many people use to get away from the Gospel. 'Don't teach me; doesn't your Bible say not to judge?' But you see, you have to address what Jesus was talking about and who he was talking to. 
Answer me this; when Jesus was talking to these people, were they not sinners? Or had they been saved? 
The answer is NO! They were sinners! How can a sinner lead another sinner...didn't Jesus say they would fall into a ditch? “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
Matthew 15:14 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.15.14.kjv 
What about the logs and specks: “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 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? 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.”
Matthew 7:3-5 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.7.3-5.kjv 
As Christians, we now can judge others, AS CHRIST WOULD JUDGE. In the last verse of 1 Corinthians 2, verse 16. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 2:16 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1co.2.16.kjv. 

You see, Christians are supposed to have the mind of Christ. Remember this...and let Christ lead you. Always ask, how would Christ do this?

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...
