YOU CAN JUDGE

Apostle Dale R Loewen

Is the church to judge or is the believer to do judgment? God’s will is clear, but the absence of RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT in most of the church today has left a religious, lieing, mocking, filthy, divided and disorganized perversion of the BODY that will eventually destroy the gates of hell! These powerless, unrighteous, sloppy saints are either asleep or on the "hype, mush-love trail" hollering grace! or love[mush]!whenever God tries to reach them with reproof or commissions them to speak it They will experience the consuming and refining fire of purification in judgment. To not submit will bring death as it did to Ananias and Sapphira. A powerful remnant will do a quick and mighty work in these last moments of the age before the return of Jesus. There will be many surprises as to who are really His!

"Judge not, that you be not judged."Matt.7:10. Oh, what a deceit and a perversion has been made of this scripture by a largely Harlot church, to literally squash the very thing that pleases God the most in His people---JUDGMENT, but RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT! not SOULISH,FOOLISH AND STUPID JUDGMENT to which this scripture clearly refers but Righteous Judgment in the Spirit! And still by their form of religion in disobedience, gossip, slander and treachery they continually partake of this unholy soulish judgment which is about to land on their foolish heads! By discernment and rightly dividing the Word of God, in balance, the answer is clear. Because most of the church has spurned righteous judgment, God has written ICHABOD [the Glory of the Lord has departed]over the thing and is dealing severely with the abomination that has resulted. FOOLS!------REPENT!! Judgment will come to all of it!

God spoke of Abraham’s heirs, of which we are included [Gal.3:29];"And they shall keep the way of the Lord to DO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT."Gen.18:19. It greatly pleased God that Solomon asked Him for discernment in judgment.[1Kings3:11]"And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged and they feared the king for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment."1Kings3:28" The Lord loved Israel forever, therefore made He the king, to do judgment and justice."1Kings10:9; 2chron.9:8 "And David executed judgment and justice unto all his peoples."2Sam8:15

"It is a joy to the just to do judgment, but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity."Prov.21:15 "To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice."Prov.21:3. Why is this so? Justice and judgment are the foundation of thy throne."Ps.89:14 "Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His throne."Ps.97:2" He is the Rock, His works are perfect: for all God’s ways are judgment."Deut.32:4. "For, I the Lord love judgment."Is.61:8 He expects us to judge, IN THE SPIRIT! It pleases him the most because without righteous judgment there can be no order, no true spiritual unity and no perfection of the saints for the building up of the body of Christ. As kings and priests before God, we like Solomon and David are to discern and Do Judgment. If only the saints would desire this wisdom and act in obedience to the Spirit, what a different church it would be and what judgment upon ourselves we would avoid!" For indeed, judgment begins in the house of the Lord."1Pet.4:17

"The spiritual man judges all things but is himself to be judged by no-one. For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ."1 Cor.2:15,16 "Judge not by appearances but judge by righteous judgment." John 7:24,Lev.19:15 He clearly tells us to judge and how and how not to judge! It is only unholy judgment that falls back on the believers head in Matt.7:1---the spiritual man is judging in the Spirit and is to be judged by no-one. He speaks the mind of Christ, he speaks righteous judgment and thus pure truth. AWAKE! ARISE!

The Lord instructed Moses in the making of the priest’s garments. "And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work."Ex.28:15 "And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart when he goeth unto the holy place for a memorial unto the Lord continually."vs.30. As new testament priests, we are also instructed to put on the "breastplate of righteousness".Eph.6:14 The word also means equity or justification and is the same breastplate of righteous judgment, in the spirit, as the literal chest piece that Aaron wore. The judgment of the church is close to the heart of the yielded saint.

Any Christian is aware of the lack of justice in the land and in the system of government and the courts which are secularly based. Much of this is a result of a dead and silent church who refuses to do judgment. When there is lack of judgment there is slackness of God’s people and He deals with them. "None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity and speak lies, they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity."Is.59:4"The way of peace they know not and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace."vs.8. He calls the discerning saints out of that which He has labelled ICHABOD. Yet foolishly, they remain! AWAKE! ARISE! and REPENT! "Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us; we wait for light but behold obscurity; for brightness but we walk in darkness."vs.9 "---we are in desolate places as dead men."vs.10 "And judgment is turned away backward and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey and the Lord saw it and it displeased Him that there was no judgment."vs.14,15. The ones who depart from evil and so discern and Do the judgment of the Lord are preyed upon and despised by the crooked scorners of judgment and peace.

"For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant and He looked for judgment, but behold oppression, for righteousness but behold a cry."Is.5:7 Micah exhorted the leaders, "Hear I pray you, O heads of Jacob and ye princes of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know judgment?"Mic.3:1."But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord and of judgment and of might to declare unto Jacob his transgression and Israel his sin."vs.8. The priests were teaching for hire and the prophets divining for money while leaning on the Lord and saying, "Is not the Lord among us, none evil can come upon us."vs.11. Amos spoke judgment," Shall horses run upon the rock? Will one plow there with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock."Am.6:12

OH, what a commentary on the church today! "Therefore turn thee to God, keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually."Hos.12:6. "For the Lord loveth judgment and forsaketh not His saints: they are precious forever."Ps.37:28 "The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom and his tongue talketh of judgment."vs.30. Because the saints largely scorn righteous judgment and excuse everything under "hype-love" and "hypergrace", the law is slacked. "Therefore the law is slacked and judgment doth never go forth for the wicked surround the righteous, therefore wrong judgment proceedeth."Hab.1:4

"But the redeemer is coming to Zion and to those who will turn from their iniquity,"Is.59:20 And the Glory of the Lord shall arise upon them, Is.60:1,2"Zion shall be redeemed with judgment and her converts with righteousness."Is.1:27

The church is largely asleep and shut up in temples! God is saying as He said through Jeremiah, "Amend your ways and your doings and I will let you dwell in this place. Do not trust in these deceptive words, this is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord! Behold you trust in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely—and go after other gods you have not known and then come and stand before me in this house and say, we are delivered—only to go on doing all these abominations? Has this house which is called by My name become a den of thieves in your eyes?"Jer.7:3,4,8,11."Do I do ANYTHING without revealing my secrets to My servants, the prophets." Amos 3:7.There have been prophets and watchmen in the land for some time, warning—these the church has mocked, despised, lied about and stoned! Yet the foundation is being laid. God is not mocked! He will accomplish His plan. Apostles and prophets will complete the five-fold ministry again and will no longer be stoned and pushed out because they DO JUDGMENT. The time of warning is at the end, the shaking is in progress and will increase. Awesome miracles and demonstration of God’s power are here again. His pleading is over, His action will be seen! "The former things I declared of old, they went forth from my mouth and I made them known, then SUDDENLY I did them and they came to pass."Is.48:3 "Because you despise this word and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them, therefore this iniquity will be to you like a break in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse whose crash comes suddenly in an instant."Is.30:12,13 Instead you desire smooth things and illusions and not what is right.[vs.10] The same God[Heb.13:8] will SUDDENLY act to deal with the slop and disobedience He has patiently waited for His people to correct! What will you do then? He will draw near to you for judgment. Mal.3:5 He will be a refiner’s fire and fuller’s soap! "But who can endure the day of His coming and who can stand when He appears."vs.2. His Glory will bring many low! Many also will be cut off! His Glory will rise upon and be seen upon a remnant [Is.60] who will be the church without spot, wrinkle or blemish that he comes for in the clouds. AMEN.
