Accusation

"Who shall accuse God's Elect? It is God who justifies!"
Romans 8:33

Praised be our Lord Jesus, who intercedes for His chosen day and night and makes justice for those who are righteous.

Integrity

"The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me." Psalm 7:8

The eyes of the Lord search the whole world, He is the One who can judge the great and the little. His pleasure is to see His children doing good and helping out those who might be in need, and that is when they are put in charge of bigger things. He tries to give a chance for the malicious and those who are disturbed with envy of those who please Him.

Judge

"Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it." James 4:11
The Lord advises us "Do not judge, and you will not be judged"
I rather fall into my Lord's hands, for He understands me and loves me.

Confess and Forsake

"He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13

Without sincerity or the willingness to abandon sin, a person's life remains bound to evil and still has credit with the devil. However, he who recognises his mistakes and leaves his unruly life puts himself under the conditions of the Spirit of God to act in his favour and to bless him.

Fear of God

"Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, 
but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity." 
                      Proverbs 28:14

Those who fear God are those who have a faith that is constant and defined and giving ears to the His voice is their priority. However, those who resist and harden their hearts will suffer damage from evil because of their rebellion.

The Pit

"He who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good." Proverbs 28:10

Many try to be smart in their own eyes by inviting the righteous to the wrong path, however, if there is fear in the heart of the Christian, he will escape evil and evil people and will find favour with God.

Received

"Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come on you." Revelation 3:3

Remembering and meditating on the teachings that we have received and promptly seeking to live what the Holy Spirit has told us, (giving us an opportunity to correct our mistakes and thus striving to obey His teachings), is a sensible way of watching; so that we may be found active in faith.
