Romans 14:10-13 (AMP) “Why do you criticize and pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon or despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. And so each of us shall give an account of himself - give an answer in reference to judgment - to God. Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavor never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”7 Step Cure for a Critical Spirit
Isaiah 26:3
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
1. Focus on God not Man
2. Trust in God
2 Cor 10:12
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
3. Do not compare yourself to others
1 Tim 5:19
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
4. Do not Receive an Accusation
So many people are ready to receive bad information. They revel in the negative. They believe and pass on the information whether is proof or not.
I call it having a “Ready Ear”
Mark 11:25
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
5. Forgive
Rom 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
6. Be not Conformed to this World
There are whole industries in our culture today that thrive on nothing more than the art of criticizing…
Art Critics… Movie Critics… Fashion Police… Politic Pundits… Tabloid Journalism… Talk Shows… News Cast
7. Be Transformed by the Renewing of Our Minds
Wash your mind with the Word. Strengthen your resolve with the renewing of the Holy Ghost.
The Bible doesn’t promise peace to those who dwell on the faults of others! It says that the Lord will keep them in perfect peace, whose minds are stayed on Him!
