2025-05-18 Judging opens doors to bondage论断为捆绑开门

 (James雅 4:11-12)

Today, we’ll look at 今天，我们要来看James雅 4:11-12 to understand how judging others opens doors to bondage, 论断如何给自己带来捆绑，how pride keeps us stuck, 骄傲如何使自己陷入困境，and how we can break free by humbling ourselves 谦卑怎样使人得自由，and living a blessed life that blesses others. 活出自己蒙福且祝福他人的生命。11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 11弟兄们，你们不可彼此批评。人若批评弟兄，论断弟兄，就是批评律法，论断律法。你若论断律法，就不是遵行律法，乃是判断人的。12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? 12设立律法和判断人的，只有一位，就是那能救人也能灭人的。你是谁，竟敢论断别人呢？

1, Judging others judges the law. 论断他人就是论断律法 (James 雅4:11-12)

v.11 tells us that when we slander or judge others, 11节说，当我们毁谤或论断他人we are actually judging God’s Law. 本质上是在论断神的律法。But what does it mean to judge others? 那么，到底什么是"论断"？ Isaiah 赛11:3 speaks about Jesus, the Messiah King: 提到耶稣这位弥赛亚王，说“He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears.” ＂他必以敬畏耶和华为乐，行审判不凭眼见，断是非也不凭耳闻。＂ It says, Jesus doesn’t judge based on appearances or from a human perspective. 耶稣不凭外貌或人的标准来判断人，His judgement is from the Spirit of God. 他的判断是从父的灵领受的。In contrast, 相反，judging others means drawing conclusions based on limited information or our own biases. 论断是根据自己有限的信息或偏见下结论。“They should know better.” “他们应该知道。” “he doesn’t care about anyone but himself.” “他就爱他自己。”“You’re so selfish.” “你太自私了。” V.11 explains that when we judge others, 11节解释说，当我们论断他人，we are not keeping the Law 就不是在遵守律法，but sitting in judgment about it. 而是论断律法。V.12 clarifies that there is only one Lawgiver and Judge. 12节说只有一位设立律法和判断人的Only God can save and destroy. 就是神，祂能救人也能灭人。When we judge, 当我们论断，we place ourselves in God’s position, 就把自己置于神的位置，coz God is the ultimate judge. 因神是最终的审判者，This is not only prideful but dangerous, 论断不仅是骄傲，而且很危险，as it opens doors for the enemy to bring bondage and the influence of generational curses. 因它为仇敌打开了捆绑和累代咒诅的门。

2, The root of pride and judgement 骄傲和论断的根源. (Isa 赛14:13-14)

Isaiah 赛14:13-14 reveals Satan’s pride through his five “I will” statements: 用五个“我要”描述了撒旦的骄傲， “I will ascend to the heavens.”“ 我要升到天上，” “I will raise my throne above the stars of God.” “ 我要高举我的宝座在神众星以上”“I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly.” “ 我要坐在聚会的山上，在北方的极处”  “I will ascend above the tops of the clouds.” “我要升到高云之上，”“I will make myself like the Most High.” “我要与至上者同等” 。These statements reflect Satan’s desire to take God’s place. 这些宣告显明撒旦想要代替神。Similarly, when we make assumptions like, 同样地，当我们产生"He is despising me""他看不起我" or "She is overlooking me," 或"她轻忽我"这类想法时，we need to ask ourselves: 我们需要问自己："Where is this coming from?" “这些念头从哪里来？” From God? 是出于神？Or the enemy? 还是仇敌？These thoughts place ourselves above God 这些想法是在将自己置于神之上，rather than recognizing Him as the ultimate Judge. 而不是信神是审判的那位。Last week, 上周，at least three of us had dreams about snakes and dark powers. 我们当中至少有三人梦到了蛇和黑暗权势。These dreams are wake-up calls, 这些梦是警钟，showing that if we don’t address past hurts, 若我们不处理过去的伤害， lingering unforgiveness can cloud our judgment不饶恕会混乱我们的判断， and open doors to spiritual bondage. 为属灵捆绑打开门。

3，Spiritual consequences of judgmental patterns.论断思维的属灵后果

A, Hinder our Spiritual Growth. A.拦阻属灵成长 Luke 路6:37, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” “你们不要论断人，就不被论断；你们不要定人的罪，就不被定罪；你们要饶恕人，就必蒙饶恕（“饶恕”原文作“释放”）。” Judgmental patterns not only harm relationships 论断不仅破坏关系，but also hinder our spiritual growth. 还阻碍我们的属灵成长。In the OT, 旧约中，Miriam, Aaron’s sister, 亚伦的姐姐米利暗was a worship leader是敬拜领袖，who passionately led others to praise God after He divided the Red Sea 她在神分开红海后充满激情地领众人赞美神(Exodus 出15:20-21). However, 然而，pride and jealousy took root in her heart. 骄傲和嫉妒在她心中扎根。In Numbers 民12, Miriam criticized Moses for marrying a Cushite woman 米利暗因摩西娶了古实女子而论断他，and questioned his leadership. 并质疑摩西的领袖权。As a result, 结果，God struck her with leprosy, 神让她得了大麻风，making her skin "as white as snow" 皮肤变得“像雪那样白” (Numbers民 12:10). This judgment not only affected her physically 论断不仅使她健康受损，but also led to her isolation from the community. 还使她被隔离在营外。Clearly, it shows that pride and judgmental attitudes can cause both physical consequences and spiritual isolation, 表明骄傲和论断会带给人身体上的后果和属灵上的孤立，resulting in a loss of favor. 导致失去祝福。If you've been a Christian for a long time 如果你已信主多年，but feel lonely, 却感到孤独，it may be time to examine your heart for pride or a critical spirit. 当省察自己的内心，是否有骄傲或论断的灵。

B, Bondage to Bitterness and Pride: 苦毒和骄傲的捆绑： Hebrews 来12:15 warns 警戒我们，that a root of bitterness defiles relationships. 苦毒的根会污秽人际关系。You might wonder why some people seem to stir up trouble wherever they go. 你会想为什么有些人到哪里都惹麻烦。We need to be wise我们当有智慧， and not judge based on what we see不要用眼睛去判断， because unresolved bitterness lead them misinterpret things因为苦毒不饶恕使他们曲解人和事，and reacting can make us judge too. 我们起反应也陷入论断了。I once knew a sister 我认识一位姐妹，who always felt judged by others. 她总觉得别人在论断她。Her unresolved pain made her suspicious and judgmental, 未处理的痛使她变得多疑和挑剔，leading to loneliness. 陷入孤独的光景。But when she acknowledged her bitterness 但当她承认苦毒，and embraced God’s grace to practice forgiveness constantly并领受神的恩典操练饶恕时，her relationships and financial struggles turned around. 她的人际关系和财务困境都扭转了。So, holding onto judgment keeps us trapped, 因此，论断使我们被捆绑，but choosing forgiveness and leaving judgment to God brings freedom. 但选择饶恕并将审判的主权交给神则使我们得自由。

C, Open doors for the influence of Generational Curses. 打开累代咒诅的门

Gal加 3:13: “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.’”基督既为我们受了咒诅（“受”原文作“成”），就赎出我们脱离律法的咒诅，因为经上记着：“凡挂在木头上都是被咒诅的。” Through grace and faith, 靠着恩典，凭着信心，we can break generational curses and live in blessing. 我们可以打破家族咒诅，活出蒙福的生命。However, 然而，the enemy often lures us back into sin, 仇敌常常引诱我们回到罪中，especially through unresolved bitterness and judgment, 借着未处理的苦毒和论断，pulling us back under the influence of family curses. 使我们重新陷入家族咒诅。 Eph 弗6:2-3, “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise. 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” 要孝敬父母，使你得福，在世长寿。这是第一条带应许的诫命。 There are two promises here: 这里有两个应许：A, Blessed Life: 蒙福的生命：Honouring parents brings blessings in all areas, 孝敬父母在方方面面带来祝福，mentally, 包括心理的、physically, 身体的、spiritually, 属灵上、financially, 财务上and relationally.和关系上。B, Long Life: 长寿：God wants us to live longer and healthier lives. 神愿我们健康长寿。But when we hold onto bitterness and judgment, 但我们若抓住苦毒的论断不放，thinking, 心想：“She doesn’t love me” "她不爱我"or “He is abusive; they don’t deserve my respect,” 或"他老骂人，不配得尊重"，it blocks God’s blessing! 就是在阻挡神的祝福！ God knows the bigger picture about their pain or trauma and calls us to be merciful like Him. 神看到父辈的痛和创伤，呼召我们怜悯人，如同神怜悯人。

Lamentations哀 5:7 warns: “Our ancestors sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment.” 我们列祖犯罪，而今不在了，我们担当他们的罪孽。 This shows how unresolved family issues can pass down through generations. 这显明未处理的家庭问题会传递给后代。For example: 例如：A. Witchcraft: Through disobedience and arrogance. A. 巫术：藉悖逆和骄傲入侵。 1 Samuel 撒上15:23 says, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” 悖逆的罪与行邪术的罪相等；顽梗的罪与拜虚神和偶像的罪相同。” If one of your ancestors was involved in fortune-telling, 若你的祖先曾参与算命、occult practices, 异端、or anything related to witchcraft, 巫术邪术行为，the door has been opened. 就为仇敌开了门。Even as a Christian, 即使你已成为基督徒，the enemy can still work actively through that open door, 仇敌仍能透过这破口搅扰你，causing pain, 让你心痛、rejection, 感到被拒绝，or anger, 让你发怒，leading you to judge your parents or family members with thoughts like, 使你论断父母或家庭成员，“I won’t be like you…” .如“我不要像你……” Rebellion and arrogance give the enemy opportunities to continue working actively. 悖逆和骄傲让魔鬼进来大大搅扰。To shut that door, 要关闭这门，we must turn to God, embrace the truth, and walk in His ways我们必须转向神，接受真理，并行在祂的道路上。

B. Familiar Spirits: Through Ancestral Worship or Occult Practices. B.家族邪灵：借拜祖先或邪术入侵。 Leviticus 利19:31: “Do not regard to mediums and familiar spiritis, do not seek after them, to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.” 不可偏向那些交鬼的和行巫术的；不可求问他们，以致被他们玷污了。我是耶和华你们的　神。If our ancestors engaged in communication with spirits, 若祖先曾参与通灵、ancestral worship, 祭祖or occult practices, 或异端，this opens doors to familiar spirits within family lines. 就为家族"熟悉的灵"开了门。These spirits may cause recurring patterns of addiction, 这些邪灵会制造那家庭一代代出现上各种瘾的事、mental oppression, 情绪困扰、or spiritual bondage. 属灵捆绑。To break this cycle, 要打破这个循环，we must repent, 我们当悔改，acknowledge any known or unknown family involvement in occult practices. 承认任何已知或未知的家族邪术行为，Renounce any ties to these practices in the name of Jesus. 奉耶稣的名弃绝与这些行为一切连接，And seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness 并先求神的国和神的义，(Matthew 太6:33), allowing God’s truth to fill the space once occupied by darkness.让真理充满被黑暗占据的空间。C. Bitterness and Unforgiveness: Continuing the Cycle. C. 苦毒和不饶恕：会延续家族循环。If bitterness or unforgiveness took root in previous generations, 如果苦毒或不饶恕在前几代扎根，descendants may struggle with chronic anger, 后代可能会陷入持续的怒气、resentment, 怨恨or relational breakdowns. 或关系破裂的困境。This unresolved bitterness can manifest as mistrust, 未处理的苦毒会表现为多疑、jealousy, 嫉妒or strained relationships, 或关系紧张，repeating the same patterns through generations. 且累代相传。To break the cycle, 要打破这个循环，forgiveness is key. 饶恕是关键。As we forgive, 因饶恕他人时，we make room for God’s healing and restoration, 就让神医治和修复提供空间，breaking generational cycles. 去打破累代循环的枷锁。

Raymond’s testimony: Raymond的见证：Despite years of prayer, 尽管多年祷告，Raymond remained trapped in family pride. Raymond仍被家族的骄傲捆绑。A few years ago, 几年前，God revealed through dreams that judgment and pride kept him bound. 神藉异梦向他显明他被论断和骄傲捆绑。One dream showed him and his mum stuck in a muddy place with crocodiles在一个梦中，他和母亲被困在鳄鱼环绕的泥沼，representing family spirits seeking to devour them. 象征着家族邪灵试图吞吃他们。In another dream some Christians in his family were alongside unbelievers burning incense to idols, 另一个梦中，他的家人中有基督徒和不信的人一同向偶像烧香，with dark powers trying to trap him too. 而黑暗权势试图抓住他。Realising these were spiritual battles within his family, Raymond意识到这是家族的属灵争战，he rose in faith, 他开始在信心中祷告，praying to reject shame, 弃绝羞耻感，forgive family members, 饶恕家族成员，break ungodly patterns, 破除家族思维旧模式，and yield to God’s grace. 并顺服神的恩典。Now, Raymond is experiencing freedom, 如今Raymond正在经历真自由，sharing God’s Word at Bible study 他在查经班分享神的话，and ministering to others with a new heart. 并以新心服事他人。Praise the Lord! 赞美主！

Brothers and sisters, 弟兄姊妹们，mistakes have been made! 错误已犯下！Blaming and judging others, 责怪、论断他人，feeling self-pity, 自卑自怜，and harbouring anger can’t fix you! 心怀怨恨都不能医治你！The Maker of the heavens and the earth, 天地的创造者，the most Holy God, 至高真神，had every right to judge us 完全有资格审判我们，because He knew all our flaws, failures, and every sin we’ve ever committed. 我们的一切缺陷、每个失败、每个过犯都不能向祂隐藏。Yet, on the cross, 然而，在十字架上，He bore the judgment we deserved, 祂担当了我们应得的审判，offering us grace we don’t deserve. 赐我们不配的恩典。You are the one God has chosen from your family 你是神从你的家族中选出的那人，to end the old cycles at the cross 要在十字架上终结旧的咒诅循环，and begin a new cycle of blessing. 开启新的祝福循环。You’re called to bless your family and others! 你蒙召去祝福家人和其他人！Would you like to respond to God and pay the price to break these cycles? 你愿意回应神，付代价来打破这些循环吗？It’s not just about letting go; 这不仅仅关乎放手，it’s about embracing God’s truth for your life. 还关乎接受神对你生命的真理更新，It’s about building a new legacy of humility, 祂要在你内心建立谦卑、mercy, 怜悯、love, 爱、generosity, 慷慨and truth, starting within you! 和被真理引导的新遗产！
