The Angel stands to minister orders given by God.  He does what he was sent to do.  He knows he is in a direct sight of the Sovereign Father and his Holy Son.  The Holy Angels willingly obey.

The Angels attend the garden of God, which is this place of testing.  They are of the house of God.  They are not of this place of blood and flesh.  Therefore they do not judge man as they minister those things for which they were sent.  Perfectly, their entire being is firmly set on the will of God.  And man receives what God has sent through their hands.

God alone is Judge.  It is the sin of man that he judges his brother while he ministers those things for which he was sent. 

In the blindness of flesh we minister among the blind.  By this we mark ourselves as unholy.  It is not right that this should be.

We, who are of the house of God, will do well to consider our place.  It is good that we consider the service of the Holy Angels.  Is also good that we consider the service of men who have achieved a non-judgmental ministry.  (Personally I am convinced that every age of man sees a few such men.)

Those who are of the house of God. through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, no longer belong to this place of blood and flesh.  They belong to eternity; sealed forever as the sons of God.  How can we then minister our charge as if we belong to the wicked?  I believe it is from a misunderstanding that we sin in this manner.

We are told that we will judge with Christ.  Do we suspect that we will take our place on the judgment bench and dictate the outcome for many?  (“And now, the judgment of all creation will be handed over to Johnny Richter!”)

Perhaps it is better to perceive that we will stand among a great throng; the people plucked from the fire and set apart from all else.

Perhaps it is better to perceive that God will use us as a standard.  He will point to one and say “This one is of your clan, but he has done such and such.   How is it that you did not?”

If that is how it will be on the day of judgement, how is it that Christians judge the wicked even now?  We do not judge with word and condemnation, though we proclaim words from God that do condemn.  Rather, we condemn the wicked by becoming.

By obedience and a willing heart we become God’s desire.  By this we are set apart.  Even in the clan of men from which we are taken we are marked as of the house of God.  And thus our former brothers are condemned even in this place.

We do not take our place among men on a bench crafted to judge.  Like the Holy Angels,  let us carefully choose what we perceive, and how we conduct ourselves as sons of God.

Why should we see their sin, unless it is to help them overcome?   Why should we listen to their vile words, except to increase their vocabulary into that which is holy?  And why should we witness the unlawful and unholy acts of men, except to teach them what is better.

Do not close up the judgment you are saved to display.  It is far better to learn from the Holy One and to do His will.  Let the sovereign God judge by speaking directly to the souls of men.  But let us become obedient and holy servants so that God may use us as an example.

We must assess.  Wisdom dictates assessment.  Who walks an open field successfully with his eyes closed?  Then assess with all due wisdom from God.

But setting our face toward heaven like flint, we purpose in all our being to obey.  By this we become a standard from which our brothers are judged.  And that without a word of personal condemnation from us.

In perfection of service we are not even allowed to compare.  By the true words of the Apostle Paul, we are not even allowed to judge ourselves.  How then shall we judge others?

But let there be no mistake.  As we are called to obey, we are also called to teach.  Let no man embrace the one and forsake the other.  Do not close up what God has opened among men.  For to do so, is to deny the Christ among men.  A thing for which a horrible end is promised.

If this message is not clear, please my brothers in Christ, ask God to show you.  These things are His will.  He will certainly educate.  Only let us be willing to learn.
