No I am not like that in real life. I am a man of God. However, there has been times were I was given a word of correction or just a strern word to deliver to a group. It gets pretty speciifc at times. It requires a lot of death to self because I slip at times as well. Self has to be completely dead. I mean who in their right man just wants to go and drop a bomb on folk. Its not that way all the time but its definelty not always a word or action that will tickle the ears of people. It pierces the flesh of many and convicts. We all need God. It's just sad and burdensome to think that there may be a time where Gods wrath may poured out. Who knows the consequence. I rather just do right byt hte word and right by people and not stand in the way of Gods work. Of course, if we as people would stop the wickness and get back right with him then he may retreat his wrath. I have seen TO MUCH and been exposed to many things. I aint playing around when it comes to the spirit. Warning always come before destruction, thats is evident in the Word. I was not sure if this was my church family or not. I expect rejection. A prophet is without honor in his own country, that is in the Word. Its just a tough pill to swallow at times. I know how it felt in what I saw. The people were very nasty and it was a jealously and hindering spirit.

Thank you both for your comments. I will definelty always watch my character always in conducting Gods work. It can get dirty sometimes but He loves us. I'll make sure its God and not me. I am nothing without Him leading this thing for me. Believe that.

We are not here to judge for there is but one who judges and that is God.
We are here to comfort, support and love one another. Love God and love one another is our 2 main commandments that came out of Jesus Christ's own mouth. We cannot say that speaking judgement is come from God, for he will judge. Our war is not against flesh but against spiritual wickedness. As followers of Christ we need to show love, share the gospel with the unbelievers and war in spirit against evil by prayer and fasting.

Romans 14:13
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Romans 2:1
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Colossians 3
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

You are right about the 2 greatest commandamants. I think is has to do with motive and your heart when you dish out something difficult. I am not here at all to tear anyone down. I forgive folk all the time and have to brush it off my shoulders. I have learned that people are people. It hurts what they do sometimes. I watch my conduct, I am accountable for me. Thats why the Bible says to Hold your peace and let the Lord fight your battle. I know for a fact that God can get angry with us and send stern words at times to correct us. I got in trouble for judging folk. It was my motive and heart in doing what I was doing. I learned my lesson. Hebrew 10:31 says it is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. Romans 9:15 says I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy on and compassion on whom I have compassion. God is soverign and does what He wants. God knows each and every situation. He may be to the point when He turns the heat up on us if we remain hardhead.

Prophecy of Judgment is conditional and serves as a warning. If the hearer adhears to it return from their wicked ways then God may relent if not then the wrath is sure to come. Every story that I have read in the bible supports this unless God says that something is unconditional. I have recently completed a study of the Prophets and learned this. There are several instances where God has instructed the Prophet to prophesy against something. I can get mulitple scriptures for you if you'd like. Of course one should be completely lined up with God, this particular call is seroius business and not glamorous all the time. It is not all peaches and cream. There are several good things and very motivating things as well. The good words are lovely but OH LORD HELP US ALL when it is not something great.

If something is hindering Gods people and Kingdom work thats a problem. I will speak against it and hope the people realize it so that nothing comes upon them. Warning always come before destruction. We can speak a stern word in Love. I've done it before and the Word was accurate and recieved and it brought positive change. Dont think I was not questioning myself but I know what I saw. My motive was not to tear down, be angry, or judge folk at all. I got enough issues of my own and dont want my skeletons to be let out. My job was simply to deliver a message. We must check that Heart in everything. The word say that God judges the heart. He knows what the intent and motive of man is if we are doing something to condem folk in judgment. If you are a true mouth piece of God it is He judging not you. We are vessels. Self examination and death to self is a must in this walk. The Word says that we can judge righetously only. Without Love nothing works. If God says go and drop them bricks, thats what you do, We only know in part God knows the whole thing.

My thoughts, research, and experience. I am continuing to learn more and more. I appreciate your scripture references, it helps keep us grounded.

Bless You,
