2 Cor 11:12-15
12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
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)
xx Whether we know it or not, we all judge with every decision we make. When we think in our minds, what we are doing is opening up ourselves in our minds to the opinions of every spirit that is in us. Then we have to decide, or judge what opinion we will go with. Now everyone is born with two opinions-one is from your guardian angel-the other is the devil. And because the devil always gives the opposite of the guardian angel we get confused. Now to those who are following Jesus Christ(christians) we are trying to learn the opinion of the Holy Spirit. Now because the Holy Spirit only quotes verses it is easy to pick His opinion out of the confusion. But it is not easy to obey the Holy Spirit. Because of the influence the devil has had over us up until this point. Now the devil has always had help from our unclean spirits(emotions). And our guardian angel has only had help from our affections which are not strong like our emotions(unclean spirits). But because we believe in the power that accompanies the Holy Spirit(verses) we step out in faith that the power will be there if we make a commitment to the Holy Spirit(verses). So when a verse comes out of our mouths that is the Holy Spirits opinion, and by us letting the verse out we show our agreement with the Holy Spirit. But when that judgement comes out that is the Holy Spirit judgeing and not us, we are just in agreement with Him. Righteous judgment is done with the verses(Word of God) carnal judgment is done with the carnal language.
