Attacks come from any of the three realms: Satan's kingdom, the world's system, our flesh with the same purpose:
1. To pull us into sin.
2. To push us into judgment.
3. Thereby opening the door for judgment to come upon us.
Where does judgment come from?
1. God has put a hedge of protection around us.
2. The enemy has to get us into a position where he can devour us either through sin or judging.
People like to quote the scripture that says judge not lest ye be judged. What they are saying is they don't want anyone telling them what they're doing is wrong. Yet, other places in scripture tell us we are to judge.
We are to judge actions, but not the motives of others. We don't know their hearts. If we ask them why they did something and they tell us, that's a different story.
It's easy to fall into the judging trap. We constantly hear other Christians judging ministers and ministries. One ministry got a lot of flack for raising money for a jet. It's between them and God. If we don't like it, we don't have to support it, but we have no right to judge the motives of that minister.
