The refusal of a civil Judge to adjudicate religious and theological disputes brought against any ministering vessels of the Holy Spirit, viewing them as matters of words and names, not criminal nor even moral offenses, is wise and a Divine intervention. Deeming disputes about religious traditions or doctrines as outside the jurisdiction of secular authority and civil laws, as a non-religious Judge, refusing to intervene in religious or internal community conflicts, helps one to focus on serious matters of national security and growth (Mark 12:17).
Moreover, the actualization of religious freedom, the separation of church and state, is mostly achievable this way, for spiritual matters cannot be accurately judged with a carnal mindset (1 Cor. 6:2-4).
PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Heavenly Father and Gracious God, for always coming to my aid and vindicating me from every accusation of the wicked. Please continue to fight for me, even as You keep me consecrated and free to continue Your glorious work,
Amen.
From Acts 18:14-15
