Rip and Tear! Rip and Tear!
“Rip and tear, rip and tear, the manifestation of greed, envy, and selfish ambition is so rampant in My Church, that people are devouring one another, not realizing the work of the enemy that is working through them. Cannibalism is common.
Instead of Grace and Mercy for one another, there is biting and devouring at each other’s flesh, not realizing your own flesh has plenty of prominence in the doing of it.
Flesh is from flesh, that is, you war NOT against flesh and blood!
Stop! Stop!! Stop using your swords to devour one another!
If I did not come to condemn the world, what are you doing condemning one another?
Are you not giving in to the flesh by your own accusation?
I did not call you to be judges!
I called you to Love one another as I have loved you!
Lay down the battle gear against people —- and pick it up to destroy the works of the evil one!
I AM the Beginning and the End, and I know the beginning and end of all things.
I know the beginning and end of your life and that of others.
If you have a grievance against someone, come to Me, The LORD and Giver of Life.
I will give you ability to see as I see; to act as I would act.
But if you walk according to the flesh — and not the Spirit — you only are seeking your own way.
Do not neglect the greater thing to sit at My Feet and learn of Me, for I AM Humble, and lowly of heart.
I know what made you the way you are — and I know what made others the way they are.
I have counted all the hairs on your head. So how much more do I know the intricate details of the lives of My Loved Ones?
Your enemy is not your neighbor. Your enemy is the one who wants to destroy all souls and lure them to hell.
Division is the fruit of witchcraft.
Strengthen the hands that hang low, and the feeble knees. A bruised reed, I will not break.
Smoking flax, I will not quench. Learn from Me, for I AM your Resource, Your High Tower, Your Wisdom and Strength!”

Scripture References on Judging:
“Judge not [neither pronouncing judgment nor subjecting to censure], and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and released.” Luke 6:37 AMP
“He said to the servant, I will judge and condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked slave! You knew [did you] that I was a stern (hard, severe) man, picking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow?” Luke 19:22 AMP
“I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord–but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.” John 5:30 AMP
“Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously.” John 7:24 AMP
“You [set your-selves up to] judge according to the flesh (by what you see). [You condemn by external, human standards.] I do not [set Myself up to] judge or condemn or sentence anyone. Yet even if I do judge, My judgment is true [My decision is right]; for I am not alone [in making it], but [there are two of Us] I and the Father, Who sent Me.” John 8:15-16 AMP
“If anyone hears My teachings and fails to observe them [does not keep them, but disregards them], it is not I who judges him. For I have not come to judge and to condemn and to pass sentence and to inflict penalty on the world, but to save the world. Anyone who rejects Me and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge [however]; for the [very] message that I have spoken will itself judge and convict him at the last day.” John 12:47-48 AMP
“And He charged us to preach to the people and to bear solemn testimony that He is the God-appointed and God-ordained Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets testify (bear witness) that everyone who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him, giving himself up to Him] receives forgiveness of sins through His name.” Acts 10:42-43 AMP
“Because He has fixed a day when He will judge the world righteously (justly) by a Man Whom He has destined and appointed for that task, and He has made this credible and given conviction and assurance and evidence to everyone by raising Him from the dead. [Psalm 9:8; 96:13; 98:9.]” Acts 17:31 AMP
“THEREFORE YOU have no excuse or defense or justification, O man, whoever you are who judges and condemns another. For in posing as judge and passing sentence on another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge are habitually practicing the very same things [that you censure and denounce].” Romans 2:1-3 AMP
“[But] we know that the judgment (adverse verdict, sentence) of God falls justly and in accordance with truth upon those who practice such things. And do you think or imagine, O man, when you judge and condemn those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment and elude His sentence and adverse verdict?” Romans 2:1-3 AMP
“On that day when, as my Gospel proclaims, God by Jesus Christ will judge men in regard to the things which they conceal (their hidden thoughts). [Ecclesiastes 12:14.]” Romans 2:16 AMP
“Who are you to pass judgment on and censure another’s household servant? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he shall stand and be upheld, for the Master (The LORD) is mighty to support him and make him stand.” Romans 14:4 AMP
“Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavor never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.” Romans 14:13 AMP
“But [as for me personally] it matters very little to me that I should be put on trial by you [on this point], and that you or any other human tribunal should investigate and question and cross-question me. I do not even put myself on trial and judge myself. I am not conscious of anything against myself, and I feel blameless; but I am not vindicated and acquitted before God on that account. It is The LORD [Himself] Who examines and judges me.” 1 Corinthians 4:3-4 AMP
“This was a case specific to the church of Corinth and was an obvious and flagrant problem that Paul was dealing with but!this judging was to be encouraged by those who KNEW the person and had relationship with them.” 1 Corinthians 4:5; 5:12 AMP
“Do you not know that the saints (the believers) will [one day] judge and govern the world? And if the world [itself] is to be judged and ruled by you, are you unworthy and incompetent to try [such petty matters] of the smallest courts of justice? Do you not know also that we [Christians] are to judge the [very] angels and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them]? How much more then [as to] matters pertaining to this world and of this life only! If then you do have such cases of everyday life to decide, why do you appoint [as judges to lay them before] those who [from the stand-point] of the church count for least and are without standing? I say this to move you to shame. Can it be that there really is not one man among you who [in action is governed by piety and integrity and] is wise and competent enough to decide [the private grievances, disputes, and quarrels] between members of the brotherhood,” 1 Corinthians 6:2-5 AMP
“For if we searchingly examined ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition], we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgment]. But when we [fall short and] are judged by The LORD, we are disciplined and chastened, so that we may not [finally] be condemned [to eternal punishment along] with the world. So then, my brothers, when you gather together to eat [The LORD’s Supper], wait for one another. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together to bring judgment [on yourselves]. About the other matters, I will give you directions [personally] when I come.” 1 Corinthians 11:31-34 AMP
Strong’s NT:1252 : Diakrino (dee-ak-ree’-no); from NT:1223 and NT:2919; to separate thoroughly, i.e. (literally and reflexively) to withdraw from, or (by implication) oppose; figuratively, to discriminate (by implication, decide), or (reflexively) hesitate: KJV – contend, make (to) differ (-ence), discern, doubt, judge, be partial, stagger, waver.
“Therefore let no one sit in judgment on you in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath. Such [things] are only the shadow of things that are to come, and they have only a symbolic value. But the reality (the substance, the solid fact of what is foreshadowed, the body of it) belongs to Christ. Let no one defraud you by acting as an umpire and declaring you unworthy and disqualifying you for the prize, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen, vainly puffed up by his sensuous notions and inflated by his unspiritual thoughts and fleshly conceit,” Colossians 2:16-18 AMP
“I CHARGE [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His kingdom: herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:1-2 AMP
“For we know Him Who said, Vengeance is Mine [ retribution and the meting out of full justice rest with Me]; I will repay [ I will exact the compensation], says The LORD. And again, The LORD will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people. [Deuteronomy 32:35,36.] It is a fearful (formidable and terrible) thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God!” Hebrews 10:30-31 AMP
“And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect,” Hebrews 12:23 AMP
“[My] brethren, do not speak evil about or accuse one another. He that maligns a brother or judges his brother is maligning and criticizing the Law and judging the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are not a practicer of the Law but a censor and judge [of it]. one only is the Lawgiver and Judge Who is able to save and to destroy [the one Who has the absolute power of life and death]. [But you] who are you that [you presume to] pass judgment on your neighbor?” James 4:11-12 AMP
“Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you [yourselves] may not be judged. Look! The Judge is [already] standing at the very door.” James 5:9 AMP
“They cried in a loud voice, O [Sovereign] Lord, holy and true, how long now before You will sit in judgment and avenge our blood upon those who dwell on the earth? [Genesis 4:10; Psalm 79:5; Zechariah 1:12.]” Revelation 6:10 AMP

Cherish Berg and Priscilla what a powerful post. And so true, the Body of Christ is not living James 1:27 Psalms 68:5 Galatians 6:2 1 Corinthians 13 all Matthew 22:36 to 40 Matthew 25:31 to the end the Golden Rule and the First Two Greatest Commandments not to mention The Sermon on the Mount the Beatitudes The Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments. There is not a lot of love in the church these days as people are the church. Yes the church has been spiritual vampires and spiritual cannibals way too long. I’m always telling people live in Proverbs 6:16 through 19. I am NOT getting distracted by the corruption in the false Church institute and ministries, I’m keeping oil in my lamp staying hid in his word, prayer, reverence, holiness, righteousness and humility. Cherish Berg thank you for sharing and pouring your heart out like water. Love and prayers. Proverbs 9:10! Matthew 7:13-14.
Jeremiah 13:26 Amplified
“So I myself will throw your skirts up over your face, that your shame may be exposed [publicly].
Hi Priscilla. I absorbed every word in this post as Truth….and as a warning.
The Lord exposed my shameful nakedness before the watching world. It began 10 years ago this coming January. He stripped me naked. People may think, “Oh come on, you did it to yourself,” and although the filth and shameful sewage I’d allowed in my life was all me, the exposure was all Him, and today I truly can’t thank Him enough. The person I’d become was a making of my own vein imagination. It was far from the Image reflected in my Father…..VERY far!! But because of the walk of shame, being publicly led through the sewer (so to speak), the real me is shining through. She might not be beautiful to the world, but she’s exquisite in the Hand of my Father.
I’m praying for these people, and am aware, and saddened by the slander, back biting and assaults I’m seeing from our brothers and sisters in Christ.
I’ve learned much through discipline, and am still waiting to be completely healed and delivered, which is His promise to me. I’m still heavily persecuted, day and night, which again only draws me closer to my Loving Father.
One day I asked the Father a question I’d been pondering, which was, “if everything exists within You Father, does that mean hell is in You?” To which He replied, “actually daughter, he’ll is in you, and We are working it out.”
God bless you beautiful lady!!
God bless you! Blessings
