Having been born of the Spirit as chosen vessels ordained by the LORD, serving in His Vineyard, we are graciously given the right to judge righteously through the Holy Spirit as the True Judge who dwells in us (1 Cor. 2:15). Even when the Law allows us to declare judgment as witnesses to a crime, we should always remember, "to err is human and to forgive is Divine;" besides, no one conceived of the flesh is righteous; yet, by faith in Christ Jesus, we are justified (Deut. 17:6-9, Ps. 143:2, Matt. 6:14, Gal. 2:16).
Also, while we are being placed in priestly positions of authority to judge and cast out, we must be willing to remain in right-standing with God, living and walking in the Spirit so that the LORD may make known His righteous judgment on all brought before us, not merely our flesh pronouncing condemnation on them; for whenever a man condemns another, he also brings forth condemnation against himself, as only the Spirit is the Perfect Judge of all (Rom. 2:1, Ps. 51:5, 1 Pet. 1:15-17).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Jesus Christ, for I'm redeemed by grace through receiving Your Word and precious blood, which makes those seeking to condemn me powerless at the declaration of Your Word. Please continue to set me apart for use in purifying your body; blessed be Your Holy Name,
Hallelujah!
From John 8:7 (Verse not added to the original text.)
