One of the many reasons we should not judge others is that a person will only act according to his or her level of revelation. If a person has little or no revelation about Our Heavenly Father then we cannot expect the person to walk in the same manner as one with much greater revelation.
It is written in Acts chapter 17 by THE SPIRIT:
10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
When Paul ministered to the Bereans they had not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ yet they were faithful to what they had studied in Scripture. They were simply walking in the revelation they did have but were missing the Good News of Jesus Christ. However once Paul spoke of the greater revelation of Jesus Christ, they were willing to receive this revelation for it was confirmed by the Scripture. They became believers and now walked in a greater revelation than before.
By taking the LORD’S Prayer out of public schools, many children were not exposed to the revelation of Our Heavenly Father. Their parents (or parent) were not providing them with the foundation of revelation they would need in order to understand basic Christian values and lawfulness. After a few decades problems in schools would only grow worse. In the 1950’s and 1960’s there were no major criminal issues in the schools such as shootings. Only after prayer had been removed for a period of time did life-threatening behavior begin to occur around the U.S. in our public schools.
If a person does not have the revelation of unconditional Love then we cannot expect him or her to walk in it. This is why we must become the Living Word to those whom we come in contact. Let each of us expose others to a greater revelation by our walk of Love.
Those who attend church and rely solely on the pastor and Sunday school teacher for their revelation will only rise up to the level of those to whom they listen. The congregation will not rise above the pastor’s revelation unless they seek FATHER for themselves. Most of the church goers are subject to being tossed to and fro because of their lack of personal commitment to study the Word for themselves and if it challenges the doctrine of their church they will tend to side with the pastor’s revelation rather than what FATHER is showing them.
As we walk by THE SPIRIT, we subject ourselves to a higher level of revelation and teaching. Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:
8 “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 “Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.
12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
This is why I continually encourage the reader to seek a closer relationship with FATHER and be led by THE SPIRIT. As each of us pursues this close relationship, our level of revelation will increase and the result will be greater grace, mercy, and unconditional Love for others.
