NO FEAR OF JUDGMENT

My Dear Precious Child,
   As far as old covenant Mosaic Law is concerned, if you keep every little bit of the laws except one tiny little rule, you are guilty of breaking all of the laws.  The same Law that says do not commit adultery also says that you must not kill anyone.  If you commit murder, you do not have to also commit adultery to have become a breaker of the Law.
   You must talk and behave like My children who are going to be judged by the law of liberty because there will be judgment without mercy for people who have not been merciful themselves.  The merciful need not worry about being judged because they have no fear of being judged because they have refused to judge anyone.  It is the people who judge others who receive judgment because they bind themselves to the devil when they judge others and they have sown seeds of judgment for themselves so they will reap judgment from the devil who seeks whom he may devour. (James 1:10-13; Matthew 7:1-2)
    James wrote that My children must think about this:  if someone claims to have faith but has not done one single act of kindness and goodness, do you think that his or her faith will save him or her?  He wrote it even more clearly when he said that if you see a brother or a sister in need of clothes and they do not have enough food to live one, and one of your believers wishes them well, sending them on their way with empty stomachs and only few clothes to cover their nakedness, what good is that?  He wrote that faith is like this: if good actions toward the poor, the widows, the children, the hungry and the thirsty do not accompany your faith, then your faith is dead.  He said what your comments must be when you talk to people like that, sending the needy on their way with empty stomachs and their bodies naked.  He said that you must say that you will show them your faith by showing them your good deeds of mercy.  You have proven your faith only by your good, merciful deeds.
   In the letter James also wrote that you believe in Me and that is good; but do you say that other people have faith and you have good deeds?  He said that there were many believers in Me, the One God, but the demons have the same belief and they tremble with fear.   He emphasized that faith without works is dead.  He spoke about Abraham who was willing to sacrifice Isaac.  He wrote that faith and deeds work together and Abraham's faith became perfect by what He did. It was written that Abraham put his faith in Me, and therefore it was counted as making him righteous.  That is why he was called My friend.
   So you understand that it is in doing good deeds of mercy, not only in believing, that a person is justified in My sight. Even Rahab the prostitute was justified by her believing because she welcomed My messengers and showed them a different way to leave the house in order to be saved.  When the human body dies, it is separated from the spirit, and in the same way faith is dead when it is separated from good deeds.  Because teaching is such a noble profession, remember that those who teach inherit a greater punishment for sins because they are targeted by the evil one.
      The writer wrote that everyone does something wrong over and over again, but the only person who could ever reach perfection is the person who never said anything wrong because he would be able to control every part of his or her body.  Once you put a bit in the mouth of a horse, you have control over him or her.  Also think about ships.  No matter how big they are, even if a gale is blowing the man at the helm can steer it anywhere he likes by controlling the rudder.  It's the same thing with the tiny tongue which is a small part of a body but it proudly does great things.  Also think about how small a flame can set fire to a huge forest.  The tongue is like that, a whole wicked world in itself.  The tongue affects the actions of the whole body, catching fire itself from hell.  A tongue will not keep still, it is full of deadly poison.  It sets fire to the whole wheel of creation. You use it to bless Me and  you also use it to curse people who are made in My image.  My children, that is wrong.  Does any water supply give a flow of fresh water and salt water at the same time?  Can a fig tree give you olives or a vine give you figs?   No, no more than sea water can give you fresh water. 
   So you must be careful to learn, by the instruction and power of My Holy Spirit, to control your tongue.   By My words I created the world and, because you are made in My image, by your words you create whether heaven or hell is orchestrating your life. 
   Remember that the loose tongue is set on fire by hell itself and the tongue can set on fire the whole creation.  Make it your aim to do what James advised; that being to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. (James 1:19-21)  When you have learned to control your tongue, you have reached perfection in My eyes.
