Matthew 7:1-5: and what it means to all People?

 

Matthew 7:1-5; and what it means to all people?  By Anthony Joseph Hopkins June 18, 2021



        What Does it mean to have a log, speck, or beam inside of your eyes?  First and foremost, we must remove the sin from our lives.  Second, we cannot judge your brother.  Only God is the righteous and just Judge.  This has a lot to do with the sins inside of our lives.  Frankly, it is better safe rather than sorry. 

This means that we all have problems that God must resolve for us.  I know that my life is not perfect.  I can only share with others what God has done for us.  What I am saying is that for all have sinned and we have fallen short.  I want to informed all of you that I am saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Spirit.  God assumes full responsibility for our obedience.  I do recall in my life when I was growing up in Dayton, Ohio.  During the 1970s, I have spent a lot of time with my grandparents. 



        Next, I want to inform you that we should not judge others.  God will judge us in the same way that we judge others.  I recall during the 1970s, I was in Elementary School at Edison in Dayton, Ohio.  My mother and grandmother used to watch me get chased by my enemies. 

My schoolmates used to chase me home.  I did not pick on them, they used to bother me because my parents used to bless me with money and goods.  Although I did not have a problem sharing all of my things with my friends.  I remember when I made a bet with one of my classmates.  I made a bet that Minnesota would beat the Dallas Cowboys.  I made a $3.00 bet.  Therefore, Minnesota lost to the Dallas Cowboys.  I do not recall the score of the game.  I saw it for myself.  Afterwards, it took me 6 years to pay my debt to my friend.  This same person used to chase me home.  Each time I went to school, I used to get chased home by my classmates.



        Before I can judge and accuse others, I must look at myself.  I also have to pray to God the Father to help me to resolve all of my personal conflicts.  I do remember when my sister used to beat me up.  My sister used to get mad at me because I used to hold her hand: while we are walking home from school or my grandmother’s house.  I know that it has not been easy for me growing up.  Yesterday, I talked about hearing voices.  Everyone who read my information prayed for me.  I want to thank all of those who read my essay, who prayed for me.  I have a lot of confidence in myself because Jesus Christ died for my sins.  I am very happy that I have friends and caring people; who loves me enough to want to pray for me.

        Finally, I want to say that during the time I was growing up in Dayton, Ohio, I used to get chased home by my classmates.  I am not saying that I was a punk growing up.  I had to fight people, who were older than me.  I want to say that I love people.  I love God’s Creation.  I know that my life has been filled with ups and downs from 1972 to 1990.  Currently, I am reading the Bible each day.  I am praying for everyone who I know and do not know.  I write about what the Lord has done for me in my life.  I feel much better right now.  I have been clean and sober for 31 years now.  Thank you, Jesus, for saving me.  Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the Cross for my sins.  I am free from the bondage of Satan.  Whoever is praying for me, I want to say thank you very much for praying for me.  I love you very much.

Have You Ever Wrestled with God

Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that the Man of God Wrestled with Jacob?        I have a very important question to ask everyone right now.  Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that Jacob wrestled with the Man of God?  I am asking this question because I had a flashback recently.  It happened in 1974 when I got into a fist fight with a 15-year-old boy.  We got into a fist fight over a black fisted pick that people used to comb their hair.  I fought this boy because he threatened my manhood over something that he could have purchased for himself.               Next, I fought with this boy because he threatened me with violence.  I might have been younger, but that poor brother was limping after I got finished with him.  He got away on his bike.  I want to inform all of you that this boy was 6 years older than me.  I want to say that I might not have wre...

God is Watching All of US

    God is watching all of us!!   I know for myself that God has been watching me because He is solely responsible for waking me up this morning.  He watches me because I know that I am not able to get away with anything that I am doing wrong throughout my entire 60 years of existence. Next, I want to inform everyone that I have been a Born Again Christian for 10 years now.  I will admit that I have had my moments when I have acted out by using words that does not make sense.  Lord God, I am asking You; to please forgive me of all of my sins both past and present.  This also includes any sins that I am thinking about inside of my mind, as well as any besetting sins that I have presently. Good Afternoon Lord Jesus!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform you that I am only a Work in Progress.  The reason why I am saying this is simply because I am not perfect.  I am asking you to please bridle my tongue; so t...

STEPS ARE ORDERED BY GOD

Steps ordered by God         Is it true that our steps are ordered by God?  This is a very good question.  The reason why I am asking this question is simply because I am curious.  The following Bible verses will be discussed: Jeremiah 10:23, Proverbs 20:24, Job 34:21, and Job 31:4.  First, I would like to emphasize that God does order our steps.  According to Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.  This means that it is a Power that is greater than ourselves that is actually helping us.  Second, in the Book of Proverbs in the 20 th  Chapter and the 24 th  verse which states that man’s goings are of the Lord, how can a man understand his own way?  This Bible verse is a little bit different.  A man’s goings are the steps that are ordered by God.  How can a man understand his own way?  This is a very good ...
