This Is How We Walk Together

Ron:

Stand in your place. Don't worry about your brother. Stand in your place. Know your destiny. Know what you're called for. Know the steps that I'm setting before you today and stand in your place. And bless your brother. Whether you understand or agree with them is not the point. The point is, he's your brother and the Lord bless him.

Just because they're not walking, in what's real to you doesn't mean they're not part of My body, part of My kingdom and manifesting something that I want that's very real to them and they're driven to do what they're doing. Instead of being critical or judgmental, can't you just bless them? Can't you just put them in the hands of God?

Can't you just put them in My hands? I'm more than competent to take care of their walk with Me. Let's just make this real. Go back to David's time when David was king and the things that he did. And if I was a subject under David at that time and heard the things that he did, would I have rejected David?

Could I not have a heart that would just bless my brother and just say, Lord, I don't understand. I don't agree with what David did or what he's saying, but I put him in your hands, Lord. That's not my business. My business is to walk in where You've put my feet to walk, but I am going to bless, and put those people into the hands of God.

That's His business. I'm going to walk with the Lord with my eyes fixed on Him, and doing what I'm told to do. That's the way we're going to walk in oneness. Because God will change Saul's into Paul's, if we just pray for him.

Sherry:

That story keeps coming up to me about the parts of the body. The eye isn't going to be able to say to the foot, no, you're not a part of the body because you're too different.

You're not what I am. So sorry. It's been so real to me as the Lord is just working this inside, that we don't understand necessarily the destiny of particular groups or individuals. And so to me, you minister grace. You just minister grace, and you hold them before the Lord. There's so many parts of the body that I'm not seeing yet.

I'm believing to see them, and I am believing to really know them. I am trusting that the Lord's got it all in His hands. I'm doing what Ron was talking about, standing in the experience that I've had with the Lord.

Dale:

Diversity and division are two different things. People try to make them the same thing. Diversity comes with the blood of the lamb. Division does not. Diversity doesn't compare. Division compares.

Lois:

The army of the Lord does not break ranks. Somebody doesn't jump over in somebody else's lane to see what they're doing, leaving their lane vulnerable to attack. But we stay in our lane, shoulder to shoulder, respecting the diversity and what each one is doing.

Ken:

I know that what the Lord is doing, He's teaching us to love those who are walking in a different path. Include them into the body of Christ in general. Okay, we're doing something different. What's that got to do with it? If they're under the blood of Jesus Christ and know Him as the Lord, Hey, that's my brother over there.

He may be doing something a little bit differently going down a different pathway to accomplish the will of God as God's leading him. Who am I to criticize that? I just have to love him. That's my job is to love my brother Open your heart up. Don't be confined to the path you're on. Be aware of the other people out there that are doing the will of God where they're at.

They're being led by the Spirit. Oh, sure, there are some who are not, but we're not the judge, are we? Last time I checked, there's only one. And His name is G O D. Capital G O D. But we learn to love those who are walking towards the same destination with the same Lord, and being led by His Spirit. We just love them, because you know what?

They're part of our family. When we see things that are just a little bit off color, don't criticize. Pray. Ask the Lord to help them. Ask the Lord to lead them. Speak to their hearts. Direct their lives. Because we're not the judge. In fact, the Word says, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” I don't want to fall under judgment because I'm judging my brother. I just want to love him. I just want to see the Lord meet his heart.

Ron:

That's our job, is to love people . But let's flip the coin over. Let's not be ignorant of all parts of God, because there is a righteousness , and a purity in God that will not, you will not come in His presence with perversity in your heart.

Things that are not right. But it's not our job to judge. Our job is to love people. But is there going to be punitive judgment? Are there going to be people that are judged before the Lord and brought down? Yes, there will. Many. Remember when Paul talked about this young man that was having sexual relations with, I don't know, his father, his wife, or whatever it was?

And Paul said, you know what, I'm going to turn him over to Satan so that his flesh will be destroyed, but will save his spirit. And I believe that's true. I believe there are many that God will turn over and allow to be destroyed. They are in a place where they're not able to open up to the Lord. Their flesh will be destroyed because in God's love He's trying to save their spirit, which is eternal.

That's not our job either to figure all that out. There is judgment and there is righteousness. And it's His righteousness and His judgment. There's a spirit behind these things, and God's trying to judge those spirits. If people hang on to those spirits, they're judged along with them. Do we want that to happen?

Of course not. We believe for mercy that triumphs over judgment. God will find a way to deliver these people from these spirits that have ravaged their lives. There's a spirit behind what's controlling their behavior and their attitudes. But again, my job is to love them with the love of God. And put them in His hands.

Ken:

We're gonna stop evaluating. Isn't that what Paul said? I don't even evaluate myself. How can we evaluate a brother? You can't. All you can do is love your brother.
