Shame/Fear for a believer is usually not someone else's fault. It's usually our own conscience convicting us in truth (Assuming we're hearing the Spirit of Truth and not the spirit of deception (John 16:5-16). Let's encourage as well. Learn discernment. Learn when someone doesn't want to recognize their own sins in humility, but you should be able to expect the same exact judgment in return. It's good to focus on OURSELVES, before we FOCUS on helping OTHERS.
"Hypocrisy" is often a twisted and demonic excuse and rebuttal to the Truth. If you practice what you preach...what is the issue? There is no issue. Be MERCIFUL. Integrity. I wish to see people recognized for their obedience OUTSIDE the church building, NOT their CREDENTIALS/KNOWLEDGE/REPUTATION alone. THAT is a LEADER.
"Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. For just as you [hypocritically] judge others [when you are sinful and unrepentant], so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure [used to pass out judgment], judgment will be measured to you. Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye?" Matthew 7:1-3
Do you see how absolutes have become demon infested?? It's like the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9), everyone's right, but very few care (are able, have the aptitude) to explain in depth of scriptural clarity FREELY, WITHOUT OBVIOUS PERSONAL DISTORTED BIAS.
This is why prophesying is GREATER than human TONGUES (tongues of men, or angels 1 Corinthians 13:1).
"Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater [and more useful] than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates or explains [what he says], so that the church may be edified [instructed, improved, strengthened]." 1 Corinthians 14:5 (AMP)
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world. By this you know and recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ has [actually] come in the flesh [as a man] is from God [God is its source]; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would deny any of the Son’s true nature] is not of God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world. Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].
They [who teach twisted doctrine] are of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them. We [who teach God’s word] are from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]. 1 John 4:1-6 (AMP)
Lack of accountability is a Faith-STEALER. The thief steals! John 10:10
