JUDGING ELDERS
1 Tim 5:1-2
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
(KJV)
Heb 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
(NKJ)
xxx The Word of God is true, and powerful and perfect just the way it is written. It separates apostles from disciples, believers from non believers. And will show the purpose of every thought in you.
1 Pet 5:1
1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:
(NKJ)
xxx Elders are those who have walked in obedience to the Holy Spirit and submitted to every verse given to them. Doer's of the Word.
Rom 12:19
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
(NKJ)
xxx Elders do not need to discipline disciples God will do it for them.
Rom 13:1-2
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
(NKJ)
xxx Even apostles have authority over them, If their young in apostleship, they have elders in apostlehip. If their elders in apostlehip, they have those who have the revelations of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will never lead you to rebel against the governing authorities. Those who have the revelations of Jesus Christ have Jesus Christ.
Rom 13:5
5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.
(NKJ)
xxx If you rebel against the spiritual governing authorities you have an evil conscience. You must purge it.
Rom 2:11-12
11 For there is no partiality with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
(NKJ)
xxx When your a Christian, your under the law of Christ.
Rom 2:1-3
1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
(NKJ)
xxx When you judge an elder in Christianity you condemn yourself. Until you have the authority from experiance, you dont have the right knowledge to judge. And you are judging Gods law.
James 4:11
11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
(NKJ)
Matt 7:1-5
1 "Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
3 "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?
5 "Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.
(NKJ)
xxx You will always have carnal thoughts judging against spiritual authorities. That is the evidence of the presence of the devil in you. Which is your thorn in the flesh. The moment you believe one of them thoughts, is the moment you STOP growing in the Spirit. And start loosing your treasures that you have built up. The devil leads you into looseing all you have worked for.
[Mar 4:24–25
[24] Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.
[25] "For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
(NKJ)
Rom 7:24-25
24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
25 I thank God-- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
