Spiritual Judgement
The one who is spiritual judges all things based upon God’s Spirit and Truth. Your best thinking is not the standard for judgement. Human judgement is not the same as divine judgement. It would seem that those who have a hard time with judgement are not focused on divine judgement. Jesus taught this concept based upon His own life.

I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgement is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
John 5:30
Jesus provided His own life as an example for all believers. It is not spiritual judgement unless you judge based upon the Holy Spirit’s direction according to God’s Word. This is the way in which a spiritual Christian judges. Judgement is not based upon what one thinks but rather what God communicates. The only way to obtain this is to deny your own will and focus on the Will of God. Therefore, through the Holy Spirit’s conviction, God guides you into the best decisions for your life. Your responsibility is to choose God’s Way and not your own.
Often people make judgements based on the world’s standards of success. Jesus did not do that. His standards were not of this world. In fact, His delight was in the awesome respect of the Lord. His Ways lined up with the Ways of His Heavenly Father. He did not make decisions based on what He could see. What you see does not determine the condition or the intent of the heart. Jesus did not decide by what He heard others say. If He determined His direction of ministry based on what He heard others say about Him, He would have given up. You should make decisions with the fear of God, not by what you see or hear. You should have the determination, perseverance, and courage to follow what Christ instructed you to do.
