 Be
blessed
Doing
it God's Way!
With Reverend Michael
Cartwright
Let's find out what God says about one of the
biggest reasons we separate ourselves
from His blessings - Judging
Good
Cop/Bad Cop?
"A righteous man may have many troubles, but
the Lord delivers him from them all." Psalm 34:
19
Full sermon on Good cop / Bad
cop?
God reached deep into my bitter
heart and showed me that as long as I kept doing it my way by
judging others through their troubled times, that I will always be
at a place of mediocrity. He promised me that if I do it His way
with a pure heart by showing others His unconditional love and His
life of total forgiveness that He will always bless me throughout my
destiny. God has kept that promise and He wants to do the same for
you. (excerpt from Pastor
Michael's book; God has my back so bring it
on!)
"Be more concerned
with your character than with your reputation. Your character is
what you really are while your reputation is merely what others
think you are. - Dale Carnegie
I
often think about the true story not long ago of the highway
patrolman who always carried a pocket tape recorder with him on the
job. And just like any other day he gave a traffic
ticket to a woman and then afterwards she quietly drove away.
Later she filed formal charges of being abused from this
officer. The woman swore he abused her out on the highway and was
willing to go to Court over it.Fortunately the officer was able to
play back the tape recorder and it did play a big role in
helping clear the officer of these shocking charges filed against
him. And the woman was seriously admonished by the Judge for
falsely accusing a police officer.
But
what if the police officer did not have the tape
recorder as evidence to clear his name that day, where would his
rock solid proof of innocence be then? Surely his life would
have taken a much greater turn for the worst.Could his
department risk such a scandal? The woman seemed so convincing
and she did swore he abused her out on the highway and was willing
to go to Court over it. Would his character be judged or his
integrity questioned throughout his career or lifetime? Would
he have missed out on future promotions that he so rightly deserved?
Or would his social standing at his Church suffer? And what
about those of us who pass out "our personal
brand of hypocrisy of judging everywhere we go".With only
one goal in mind and that is to cause division and destruction among
the Church and this person's life. Because of our
actions of judging other believers we bring God's judgment on
ourselves, and none of us are worthy to be judged by God. We
also end up separating ourselves from God and His
blessings.
What
will our contribution of losing souls to God be worth on judgment
day? Surely more than the price of the patrolman's tape
recorder?
God does
not want us to just care if we go to Heaven, He want's us to care
if everyone else goes to Heaven too. The truest form of
worship is to show compassion in a place of peace and
holiness.
What
does it take to change the heart and soul of a
person? And at what point in our life do we become accountable
and decide to follow what Jesus would do to fill a Church
pew in glorifying All Mighty God and not Satan?
Did not
Jesus lead by example and show us a life of unconditional love and
lead a life of total forgiveness. Remember how excited Jesus was
when he first shared with you the wonderful story of Mercy and
Grace and how he left his entire flock to save one lost sheep?
Remember what he said, "He said that you were worth it!"
"A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also
love one another. By this all men know that ye are my diciples, if
ye have love one to another." John 13:34-35
"God blesses those who are
merciful, for they will be shown mercy Matthew
5:7"
God's Plan of Salvation
"To learn to
love instead of judge starts you on the right path of receiving
continual blessings and favors"
"May you and your
loved ones be continually blessed by God"
