Do you see to include or exclude yourself?

In the past articles we have talked about whether you want to include or exclude yourself and today we will continue on that subject:



“And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”

Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains. ” (John 9: 39-41)

We see here that many people when they see and begin to notice their mistakes, weaknesses and sins begin to feel condemned and often exclude themselves because of it. When the Lord Jesus says He came for judgment, to do justice that is not to condemn, but to teach us discipline because judgment is attached to discipline.

When you notice you have interior problems from the past, inappropriate behavior, and you exclude yourself you avoid hearing the truth, being aware or solving an issue. You are actually excluding yourself to ignore something that needs to be confronted. We cannot allow ourselves to be hidden for the rest of our lives, because that will eat at us until it is resolved.

There are problems that are like a burden, that make you feel condemned, which nobody understands, and makes you exclude yourself. But when you acknowledge your mistakes and are humble and say: “I will learn! What is missing in me? Is my past haunting me? Is my sin prevailing? Then, I will put an end to this.” Intelligent faith has nothing to do with feelings, because when you run away you feel attacked, inferior, and misunderstood. Intelligent faith says, “Let’s roll up our sleeves and solve the issue! I may be selfish, proud, or whatever but as of today, I will end this problem. I will no longer torment or be tormented. ”

If you are seeing and recognizing your mistakes it is because of the work of the Holy Spirit!

And those who recognize their mistakes and exclude themselves become blind. They will have to depend on someone all their life. Is that what you want?

Of course not!

 

“Are we blind also?”
 Friend, let me explain: If your conscience condemns you, then something is certainly wrong.

 ” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains. “

If you recognize your mistakes, but do not do anything to solve the issue, you ignore it, feel accused, and do not get past that, then you will not resolve anything because you are using an emotional faith. When has emotional faith resolved any problem or has made you feel valued?

 

When we feel valued we have the willingness to fight! That is also how intelligent faith works it makes you “rolls up your sleeves” and do what you need to do. It makes you confront the problem, and make happen what does not exist. You learn! You have disposition, strength to solve the problem. But on the other hand, you will remain blind and dependent of others to solve your problem.

 

Like the Pharisees, who had a guilty conscience, but remained the same!

 

I hope, friend, you see and do not remain blind, and include yourself.

 

A big hug and until Monday

  1. Thank you Mrs. Vivi for sharing this message, this was really strong. Whilst reading the message
    It’s clear to my mind that acknowledging my own mistakes and humble to learn can turn around all the situation and I understood the importance and differences between intelligent faith to emotional faith.
    I learnt that every little small mistakes I have to face, include myself and see the problem quitting is not an option or a solution. Mistakes which displeasing God can go deeper and wider which lead us to losing our salvation that’s why we need to be humble all the time and do the righteous in his sight if we want to keep our salvation. Yes the truth is hurt but it will set us free.

  2. Once we have a guilty conscience it means that our eyes are open to the truth and there is no way that we can ignore the ugly truth. What is needed is true repentance. Never look back but forward.

  3. Nothing can be hidden to God. He knows who we are. He is always waiting for us to humble ourselves before Him. Recognize our wrong doings and made decision to let go everything that unrighteous into His eyes. If we remain proud and exclude ourselves for a change, we are making ourselves rotten.

    Thank you Mrs. VIvi for sharing this message.

  4. Hello this is very true if we try to run from our sin and hide it pretty soon we will be prisioners of our own mistakes and sins, but we stand up with our head high we brake that chain.
    Sometimes its hard to listen and put foward what we have too but thats when we are tested and shows our real intentions with God

  5. Hello Mrs. Viviane,

    Up until today I didn’t know that every time I allow my weakness and mistakes gets the better of me, I am using emotional faith. I would always think that, “This is me, I have to accept it.”
    But recently God had been showing me that this attitude is not good, it is actually UGLY! Argh…

    Well today, I learned that using intelligent faith sets us free, just like you said in the article:

    “Intelligent faith has nothing to do with feelings, because when you run away you feel attacked, inferior, and misunderstood. Intelligent faith says, “Let’s roll up our sleeves and solve the issue! I may be selfish, proud, or whatever but as of today, I will end this problem. I will no longer torment or be tormented.”

    Emotional faith binds us and we go through many horrible situations because of it and it brings torment.
    We have to face our problems. Include ourselves and see the problem. Running away is not an option or a solution.

    Thank you for this message. It is an eye opener.

  6. Thank you for sharing Mrs Viviane, I have been having issues whereby I recognise a problem or an inappropriate behaviour but not do anything about it- I mean like I have been really slow to take serious action for me not be the same anymore. I know realise that I need to be intelligent and not allow my shortcomings to to limit my potentials and that I should not exclude myself because I am weak in a certain area but rather use my faith and take steps to overcome my short comings. Thank you and God Bless!!

    1. thank you MRS Viviane. The key words humble & acknowledge and this are the opposite of pride, because pride enslaves us & its the work of flash not faith.
