 I want you guys to open Matthew chapter 7 verses 1 through 5 and while While you guys are doing that. I'm gonna say a quick story So it's a personal story to me. So it was a while back when I got my license With some other of my my friends and cousins About a month month and a half two months one of my friends he gets pulled over and I'm not and I start making I was quick to judge and make fun. I was like, oh what a loser. He already got pulled over after two months of driving I'm like, oh my gosh. That's embarrassing. I mean at least wait a year so I was quick to judge him make fun of him and Next thing you know, I get it stuck my I get myself stuck in a sticky situation and I get pulled over a couple weeks later and Obviously I got I got let off with a warning while I was while he was walking to my car I was praying in my mind so hard I mean Unbelievable and when I was praying I heard this voice say because you judge that person you got tested in the exact same area and you fell I'm like perfectly to that that trap that Satan put and I'm like and after that I realized I Need to stop judging people. I need to stop making fun of people because what I did that's gonna keep on happening It's like when you throw a boomerang whenever you throw a boomerang it comes back to you and that's what happened When I threw out that judgment I made fun of that person the exact same thing came back and tested me and I fell into the trap It's weird whenever I threw boomerangs. They never come back to me It's like I never I throw it doesn't count back or I throw in it does something and break something. I don't know Okay, so Matthew chapter 7 verse 1 through 5 do not judge others and you will not be judged For you will be treated as you treat others the standard you use and judging is a standard by which you will be judged and Why are you worried about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend? Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye when you can't see past the log in your own eye Hypocrite first get rid of the log in your own eye Then you will see well enough to deal to speck in your friend's eye and as our amazing faithful friend Edwin over here comes out with a two by six and a splinter I I think I don't think I know our God He's a funny guy because in this story as you can tell over dramatic So I have right here a two by six and it's kind of big Someone had to put on Edwin shoulder imagine this I have this to my eye and Edwin has that splinter to his eye And I say hey, let me take that thing out of your eyes bothering me, and I don't think you can see that well so I go and I take that and obviously you can see I have a log in my eye Our God's a funny God yeah Thank you. So when when I read this verse I Thought the same thing. I was like that doesn't make sense But then when I started digging more and more I got splintered in my arm When I got when I started digging more and more and to to why God said this is he doesn't mean this physically I mean imagine this You don't see people walking around with logs in their faces. No I mean if you've seen that please tell that person recommend them to a doctor because that's not normal But when God said this he meant this spiritually For example imagine two two guys to two friends one man He is he's kind of he has problem with money once in a while He will go gamble or he'll buy something that he shouldn't have and waste his money and another guy. He's Strongly addicted and gambling and he was his money He just bought an expensive car that he can't afford on a loan He has a house that he can't afford and soon will the bank will take it from him and he says to his friend Hey, man. I know you're having a problem with I mean you can't really like save your money and and you have hey Let me help you out. Let me give you some financial tips His friend will look at him like he's crazy and saying dude. Look at your own life You look at the log that's in your face first deal with the log in your own eye and then fix and then help me This is what God says here. He says Deal with your own your own pile of poop and then you can deal with your friends So and this leads me to to the title of my message, which is what's in your head? And my first point is why we judge and the consequences So three reasons that we judge one is we are insecure Often when we are scared or intimidated by other people we put them down For example, if two women see a prettier girl They right away think of her as a threat and they start looking for for a negativity in her life Oh, dude those shoes that does not match her outfit Her hair it does not look right her eyebrows. She forgot to pluck that one hair and the whole world can see that You start looking for for weak points in that person. No one's perfect God created that person the way that they are a point number two we are Number two we are seeking change when we want our own lives to be different We are quickly to judge the life of others for example If someone wants to have a strong healthy relationship how and get married and they see that their friend just got engaged And they live an amazing life. God's on their side. God is just blessing their life and They they're quick to judge and they say That girl doesn't even deserve that guy. I don't know why they're even getting married and you start saying stuff that that sounds like nonsense and You bring others down so you can bring yourself up just like Giovanni said She was she was in depression and and she was stuck in all that stuff and when when you're in that position when people are in that position the the most common thing to do is if You want to bring yourself up people the closest thing that you can do to make that thing go quick as you judge people because When you judge other people when you're at your lows you bring them down so you can bring yourself up and When you do that that starts causing an unhealthy life unhealthy habits My point number two, why does what does it do? So three things judgment due to us and others hurt other people this might not always happen if the person finds out are you in the clear right not necessarily because Sometimes that thing has a curveball and when you when it goes and you're like oh It's gonna miss that person but then it curves and it could hurt them in weird ways For example, so and this is kind of a little bit off of judgment But whenever I do something when I was a kid I would always like to my mom and dad always and I know a lot of us We're in the same spot where our parents always find out even if you googled that you YouTube that and the people said It's the best so I could tell your parents my parents would always find out and even if they didn't see me do anything One of my cousins or my mom's friends or dad's friends, they would see me They'd be like hey, I saw your kid doing this yesterday Dude, are you aware of this and things like that happen and you are put on the spot and then you are you are hurt Number two a judge by actions we often judge other people by their action and judge ourselves by our intentions For example when I judge my friend I judge him by his action because he got pulled over I judge him because he got pulled over, but I judge myself on my intentions I judge myself because I'm oh dude. I'm gonna stop at every single stop sign. I don't care I mean, it's just a couple seconds. I'm not gonna do a California roller like a lot of people do I'm gonna do speed limit. I'm gonna obey every single law. I know that's how I judge myself and because I did that I ended up I Said I'm never gonna be in that position Never say never because I learned my lesson from there And I want you to learn from other people's mistakes not your own Then my parents would always tell me that learn from other people's mistakes not your own and in this case I disobeyed my parents and I went out. I said I'm never gonna do this and next you know that never became a permanent Point number three how to stop judging Monitor your thoughts You can monitor the thoughts that come through your mind for example an airport. They have security They don't let a person with the bomb come through because most likely their intentions are to hurt people They know what's right and what's wrong the people that are the wrong the people that are right They leave the people that are right go through and that the people that are wrong They don't let them through they either arrest them. So you how to do that with your mind You'd have to have a security you are the security in your mind You have to stop the things that are destroying you that that could destroy others you say stop right there You are not going through this is my mind. I own this to not you. You don't pay rent here I I Sack my parents I sacrifice for this and you cannot come in here because this is mine I didn't let you in here only the good thoughts can go through you take the bad thoughts You arrest it you say no you are not going through and you let the good thoughts go through a man Look for the positive. There's always something positive. You can find about someone even if they're the worst person ever Still don't treat them like crap They're God's creation God created that person God didn't create that person say oh man I Messed up. He didn't do that. He created that person just the way they are He loved that person just the way they are it doesn't matter if if one leg is shorter than the other It doesn't matter if if something happened to them and it was just complete devastating God created them Just the way they are you don't treat people like they're crap Just like Pablo said when they fix people when they and China when they fixed place to fix it with gold God He is there. He's fixing people. You don't have to worry about it Focus on your own life when all else fails and judging like pushing away judgment is the hardest thing to do focus on yourself and Don't worry about what other people are doing wearing or etc You have to if you are if you this log is you're turning your head and you're hitting every single person you possibly can People are starting to get mad at you people are starting to get pissed off. Hey deal with your own problems Do it stop worrying about other people's stuff because you here have a log in your own eye And you're judging other people because they have one too, but smaller They have a splinter and now you have a log in yours deal with your own stuff, and then and then you can help other people Exchange the time you judge people to something that can uplift your life and set up over here judging someone Exchange that time to doing something that could bring you up spiritually or physically it doesn't matter or even financially Read the Bible pray Learn something if you're into instruments or if you're into sports You know like I already know everything that I could about that start going into technology. There's so much more things There's never enough things to learn about in this world. There will always be new things coming up Exchange that thing that you do that's wrong. That's negative to something. That's positive Start started work like learning stuff about real estate start learning stuff about money saving money and Actually start saving money. Don't go out and spend it every single Wednesday on Applebee's after church And I'm also part of that Sadly So some practical steps, and if we can have some of the worst team go up really quick Some practical advice for you to To help you to stop doing this to start working on yourself to get rid of that log Just it's the simplest things you can do your homework clean your room help your parents obey your parents for us Teenagers that's the hardest thing to do is obey our parents because we're like They don't know anything about about the new trend about ripped jeans These ones are patched so we're good They don't know anything about the new trend you close They want me to wear these grandma shoes, and I'm over and like and people over here wearing like Yeezys and an expensive shoes are the value of them are Growing like crazy. It doesn't make sense and you obey your parents because they they have the bigger picture You're just looking at a small thing, but they see the whole picture And that's why they do the things that they do is to save your life to help you out. Amen So What are your thoughts? Do you have negative thoughts? Do you have thoughts that will you judge people where you make fun of people where you talk crap about other people? Just to lift yourself up or do you have thoughts where? You know what I'm gonna deal with this stuff on private people don't need to see this people Don't need to see the problems that I have and I'm gonna tweet it all over Twitter or Instagram or anything like that I'm gonna learn. I'm gonna do new things What are what are you where are you there or are you there working on yourself as the hardest thing to do That's why the majority of people don't do it But the people that don't that do do it. They reap the best things that they could they reap Physically they reap they have money. They know how to use that money. They have so much things. They have knowledge so Just realizing that you have a problem you're already halfway at the finish line The rest even if it's hard even though even if it's easy just realizing you have a problem You're already halfway to the finish line What's in your head? What are the thoughts that go into your head? What is in your head? So I want you guys To think when you go home when you're before you go to sleep just just pause and and turn around and be like What am I doing with my life? Where am I? What are my goals? What do I want to be when I grow up? What is my future? What have I done in the past? How can I fix those problems? What's in your head?
