Do You See Difficult People According
to Their Past or Their Potential?

(In Peter's vision) ... I heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter; kill and eat.' But I said, 'Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.' But the voice answered me again from heaven, 'What God has cleansed you must not call common.' Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. At that very moment, THREE MEN stood before the house where I was, ... Acts 11:7-11 NKJV


Tip: Click "Last time" in each devotional to read the previous one.

Today, God took me to this passage where God had to tell Peter 3 times that he was not to consider what God has cleansed as unholy (even though his religion said it was.) And God commanded Peter to go with the Gentiles without misgivings. Likewise, God exhorts us to be careful to discern when God is transforming someone and to allow His Holy Spirit to minister to them through us as He instructs.

God is calling some of the most 'unlikely people' these days and we must be careful to discern the working of the Holy Spirit in their lives and not to judge their present or their potential by their past. In order for us to partner with the Holy Spirit as expressions of His heart, we have to take our judgmental and condemning attitudes to the Cross to be crucified. When you are around difficult people, do you see them through the spiritual eyes of Christ who wants to minister restoration and reconciliation through you?

Heb 12:15 says. "See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;" NAS In other words, if you were not diligent to truly fully forgive, you are in danger of a root of bitterness springing up in you. You are now the bitter difficult person! Bitterness has been described as unfulfilled vengeance or revenge or judgment.

No excuses!!!! (Rom 2:1) Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. NKJV

Are you like Peter, who had mindsets against some persons blocking God's vision for them? Are you like Jonah, who would preach at them, command them to repent, threaten them with Hell fire and then could not rejoice with they did repent? Or, are you like Ananias, who obeyed God, went to minister to newly converted Saul and helped transform him into our beloved Paul, by believing the prophetic Word he was ministering to him?

Last time, we discussed how our heart may be like an old screen door with a spring closure on it, closed until purposely held open. Until you let Jesus in to heal your own hurts, He can’t take your hurts upon Himself on the Cross. Until you can trust Jesus to take your hurts to His Cross, you won’t trust Him to train you in His love by letting you bear a Cross. Ouch! (If you need prayer, please consider Restoration Prayer Ministry.)

The revelation that the Lord gave me was that most us of think that we have already accomplished forgiveness because we don't feel angry or resentful anymore. We may have learned to block our emotions, to stuff them or to handle offenses with our minds. But the unforgiveness, lodged deeply in our hearts still needs to be hauled to the cross and crucified, whether we can feel the emotions anymore or not.

It seems that there is also a lot of confusion in the church about forgiving and forgetting. Some sins seem to be forgivable and yet others prevent a person from being chosen for ministry, leadership or even marriage. In the Lord's prayer, we ask God to forgive us as we forgive others. Do we want God to remember our sins as we remember the sins of others? Do we want to express His heart of forgiveness to those who have failed and need His unconditional love the most?

We are like plain beige melamine cups. We are just RECEIVERS and RELEASERS, receiving Father God's perfect love and forgiveness, and releasing His love and forgiveness to others. We are forgiven if we are born again and have confessed our sins ... but we are no better than those who appear difficult today. Let the truly spiritual one be spiritual first!

God will give us pop quizzes as a test for our own promotion. His desire is not to tempt us to sin, but to prove our readiness for spiritual promotion in ministry. He will reveal to us whether we look at others through eyes of judgment or with His eyes, looking on the heart. How about you? Would you forgive, restore or even promote someone who:

  1. went on a cruise instead of prophesying to a desperate city

  2. went around naked for 3 1/2 years, claiming it was a God thing

  3. ate locusts, isolated himself and preached a new gospel

  4. who had a prostitute for a wife (his house is not in order!)

  5. had been delivered of seven demons

  6. got rich cheating you and your friends our of your tax money

  7. who had committed adultery and pre-meditated murder

  8. had murdered countless Christians, this year!

  9. was an illegitimate, long-haired transient with no experience

  10. had been in prison more than any other applicant

  11. was a woman "healer" that never graduated from high school

  12. had bragged about his loyalty, then betrayed you three times

  13. had been married five times and was "living with" someone?

How is your unconditional love doing? Remember that God chooses the weak and the unlikely. Often, the greater the anointing one has, the greater the blind spots. If we judge one who has "failed," we condemn ourselves to do the same. If we bow to public opinion, we may miss the opportunity to support God's anointed with unconditional love when they need it the most.

How can we partner with Jesus Christ to minister restoration if we have no vision for those who need it? The leaders listed above, rose to greater heights after their "apparent" failure. It takes the true humility of Jesus Christ in us to forgive. If you had known them, would you: 1. avoid them, 2. tolerate, 3. feel embarrassed, 4. forgive from a distance? or 5. fully forgive, forgetting the past and actively invest in them, restoring them to a higher place than they were before?

If a man is caught in ANY TRESPASS, you who are spiritual, restore a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted." Galatians 6:1

In His unlimited love, Carlotta and Lou
