The Trap of Criticism

The difference between the filmmaker and the critic is that one invests time, resource and passion while the other sits on their behind does nothing but run their mouth about what somebody else did and gives their opinion of it. Most people question everything but never have a working knowledge of why people do what they do. You can research and learn about anything but until you try to do something you never really find out what the cost is. I've not only made but have helped on album projects. The average person has no clue of how much work is involved in producing any kind of album. There are many phases you have to go through. The danger with a media that tells you to speak you mind and is critical of everything is they invite people to speak out in ignorance. You words frame your world. That's how God set it up.

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

That's what Jesus said. Your words may be keeping you in that situation. When God gives you what you believed for and it is established the habitual peaking of death framed your world. When you speak God's Word it frames your world but it has to be consistent. One reason our speech is not consistent is because we are double minded concerning what we believe. We mix worldly philosophy with the Word of God and expect results. We we don't see them we become more unbelieving.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

What we believe determines how we live and what we speak. When we live in a culture of condemnation and judge others that's the seed we are sowing to return to our own life. It's a trap! Most people blame Satan for things happening in their life but they open the door to it themselves.

Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

You determine the harvest in your life by the seed you sow. There are different seed for difference harvest in your life. Your mouth plants seeds. I'm going to leave you with some scriptures about the tongue.

Proverbs 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
1 Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Psalms 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
Psalms 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
