If you cannot control your tongue, then neither can you rule your own spirit.

If you use vulgarity in your speech, how do you think people around you will trust anything else that comes out of your mouth? Do you not know that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks?

If you have used vulgarity and have been told by another person the dangers of this and you disregard this using vulgarity again, you have erred according to the promise. Why? Those who are filled with the Ruach when instructed in spiritual matters will repent. However, those who are not born again will not repent. They will continue in their sinful ways. Scripture tells us that the lost when they fall, do not repent. But the righteous when instructed will repent. This is the difference between the lost and the righteous. The righteous will receive reproof, but the lost continue in their folly. The lost continue in vulgarity and do not submit to the body of Messiah. In these instances scripture tells us to remove them from our midst, or literally, from the Assembly.

If the Father is using a brother to gather his people and there are those among that group that have been instructed in sound doctrine who continue to seek their own agenda, after the second and even third admonition are to be removed from the Assembly.

This is a heavy weight on me because the Father is bringing people to me in my region I live in and this is hard for me because I don’t want to disregard anyone. And yet, the Father has not left me lacking for fellowship through every step he leads me in. And yet, many times there are those who come into fellowship with me who are not filled with the Ruach. Granted they have learned a lot from scripture, but they disregard Messiah’s Love or even keeping Sabbath as they ought. Going to restaurants on Sabbath and even doing their own thing on Sabbath when scripture tells us not to do our own thing on Sabbath.

Am I wrong for the times I have removed myself from such people who do these things as scripture tells me? Or when I remove them from my fellowship and they claim I am the one who is wrong, are they justified or correct?

It’s very hard for me to make a decision to find new people for fellowship, but each time I do I know it is according to scripture and I know the Father would not mislead me in any of this because his word declares all of this. And every time this happens the Father brings new people into my life and I am actually never without fellowship as long as I obey Elohim.

I’m at a cross roads today. And maybe this is one of those poings where the Father is shaking my world so that I will do his will. I know I have to trust him. But I also want to be sure I am doing his will and not mine according to my own heart. When we have instructed people in love concerning the truth and they continue to rebel against the scripture, what else can we do but turn it over to the Ruach at that point, right?
