DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THE CROSS FIRE
Kingdom people shoot at the same things I shoot at and know enough to stay out of the line of fire. I hate gossip and slander. This is how I feel about "Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. [32] Though they are fully aware of God''s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them." Romans 1:30,32 (AMP)
Gossipers must have listeners, if you say, but I don't gossip, but you don't shoot it down when you hear it, you are approving of it. Listeners provide and promote gossip by giving a place for the poison to ooze out and encourage the evil gossiper. From My prospective those who gossip and those who listen and do not rebuke are just the same and will be caught in the crossfire when I send forth the reapers.
They have their orders to "Gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them" ... Matthew 13:30 (KJV)
Every time you hear negative words spoken against another brother or sister shoot it down, and walk away to show your disapproval. One who is a real gossiper will not stop, but most people are innocently repeating gossip and unaware the are caught in a snare. They are not yet gossipers and will be saved by your rebuke. "If you warn the righteous man , that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul." Ezekiel 3:21 (KJV)
If you do not rebuke them, they will become full fledge slanderers and die in their sin. However you will be caught in the cross fire, here is My rule, "If a righteous man turns from his righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) and... he perverts ... into sin and he commits iniquity, he shall die; because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood will I require at your hand." Ezekiel 3:20 (AMP) I will hold you accountable.
All believers have a responsibility to "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. [3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;" 2 Timothy 4:2-3 (KJV) Remember this, all politically correct churches will be gathered and burned because they will not rebuke. If you hear gossip, or slander rebuke it in love and you will keep My church pure and not be caught in the crossfire.
Let me tell you the politically incorrect kingdom way to stop gossip and sin in the church, pay attention and keep these in the exact order I give them, "If your brother wrongs you,
(gossip is wronging you by poisoning your mind) go and show him his fault, between you and him privately. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. [16] But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed and upheld by the testimony of two or three witnesses. [17] If he pays no attention to them refusing to listen and obey, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a pagan and a tax collector" Matthew 18:15-17 (AMP)
This is not popular, but My way is never popular, however you will stay clean and joyful and never be caught in the crossfire.
