Pathway of relationship that leads to deeper intimacy with God .Flowing from inside out – heaven to our gateways of spirit, soul, body to the world around us .We need those gates open and flowing with the river of life and the fire of God’s glory.
In the UK: 7 levels of courts like family court, magistrates, county, crown, high, appeal, house of lords.
In heaven: Court of Accusation, divorce courts – deal with Blockages, Restrictions, Accusations etc.
Law courts – court orders – judicial mandates, financial mandates, legislation is made.
Galactic Council, Court of Judges – high level judicial decisions.
Court of the Lord, eternal purposes of God including our destinies.
Courts are about legal proceedings .Criminal proceedings .Civil proceedings .Other types of courts which are more like council meetings or assemblies .Governmental cabinet meetings .Legislation making laws into statutes, statute books – Legal authority.
The enemy is a legalist and has to be given permission or have a legal right to be able to operate .Adam & Eve gave him that initial right .The only true authority that exists is God’s and what He has given to us as His sons .We can give that authority to the enemy .To remove the enemy from our gates we need to remove any legal rights.
Legal right is a judicial or court term we need to use the legal system to deal with rights of familiar spirits .Prayer or ministry should be seen as a legal process not warfare .Jesus uses the analogy of petitioning the judge for justice in relation to prayer .
What is in a court? Bench where the judge sits .Dock where the accused stands .Witness box .Advocates bench .Gallery for witnesses and observers.
Who makes up the court: Judge – God . Advocate or lawyer – Jesus. Us the accused. The accuser – familiar spirits. Witnesses – 7 spirits, our angels etc.
Zech 3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel. 4 He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.”
Zech 3:4. Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes.” 5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the Lord was standing by.
Zech 3:6 And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, 7 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My laws, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing here.
Hebrews 12:22-24 “You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God (the heavenly Jerusalem), to myriads of angels in festive gathering, to the assembly of the firstborn whose names have been written in heaven, to God who is the Judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect, to Jesus (mediator of a new covenant), and to the sprinkled blood, which says better things than the blood of Abel.
God is calling us to go to the Heavenly Mount Zion to learn how to engage with and become part of the Courts of Heaven and His Government. Mountains are governmental realms where we can come to release legislation into the earth and to annul the contracts of the enemy made against us.
Isaiah 2:3 “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” This is the position of government God designed His people to rule from.
Psalm 89:14 “Righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne…” Absolute standards are set by God .Everything God does is from the nature of who He is – righteous .God is interested in the right thing happening and justice being delivered for his creation.
Just and Righteous is who He is – not just what He does. He Himself has a throne where He rules and that rule is based on Righteousness and Justice. Justice is a legal or judicial term. God’s kingdom is where his rule and reign is administered.
His kingdom is in the heavenly realms and in and through us in the created order.
Everyone has had things stolen from them and experienced unjust situations and circumstances: Health, destinies, inheritances or dreams. Revivals in the past have been attacked and ultimately ended prematurely. Nations that were supposed to prosper have struggled with poverty. The church itself is not even walking in the power of the early apostolic era.
Anything that is living short of what God’s will is for us is an injustice and therefore not right in Gods eyes .We have all been robbed in many areas .But the books in heaven are being opened and God is passing verdicts in favor of His children.
Zech 3:6-7 God’s Angel then charged Joshua, “Orders from God-of-the-Angel Armies: ‘If you live the way I tell you and remain obedient in my service, then you’ll make the decisions around here and oversee my affairs. And all my attendants standing here will be at your service. The courtroom is rigged in our favor because the Judge is our father and Jesus is our advocate and the word of God is our witness or bill of rights.
We can all access or convene the court, regardless of how sinful or unclean we feel and what filthy rags we think we are wearing. You don’t have to clean yourself up to go the court, you go to the court and you will be cleansed.
Joshua even though he was high priest wasn’t clean when he went to the court .He was given new robes just like the prodigal son was from his father .Representative of forgiveness, our being washed in the blood of Jesus that is what makes us righteous .Joshua was given a new turban which represents the mind of Christ.
2 Cor 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. How many promises have been robbed from us because we don’t know our legal rights? The promise wasn’t just that we can go to court to plead and face the accusations but if we live His way we can oversee the affairs of the court and make decisions.
Realm of Kingdom government is available to us a promise in Christ. We can rule and reign and be part of God’s justice system. We can use the judicial system to remove the enemy’s authority. We can use the court system to give us legal authority to bring the kingdom from heaven to earth.
Job 1:6-8 “ One day when the angels came to report to God, satan who was his designated accuser came along with him, God singled out satan and said, ‘what have you been up to? Satan answered God, checking things out on the earth. (or going to and fro and up and down)
Our enemies are looking for opportunities by observing what we do, say and think.
Satan comes to the heavenly court as the accuser and you are the one being accused .The use of accuser is court room language .An accuser is someone who has a case against you or has some accusations to present against an individual, family, city or a nation .The court was where Satan asked God’s permission to curse Job and he still does.
Why doesn’t God refuse satan permission? Court operates on a system of legal rights .Job 3:25 For what I fear comes upon me, And what I dread befalls me. Where did this fear come from? Trusted in his own works rather than faith in God.
Job 1:5 – Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually. Job was trying to protect his children rather than trust God with their protection.
Luke 22:31 Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that [all of] you be given up to him [out of the power and keeping of God], that he might sift [all of] you like grain, 32 But I have prayed especially for you [Peter], that your [own] faith may not fail; and when you yourself have turned again, strengthen and establish your brethren.
Satan asked excessively i.e. many times if he could destroy the disciples. Where did he ask? In the court where satan and other spirits ask for permission to do things on the earth .Including seeking permission to afflict us in some way.
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. Satan has been using the legal system of the courtroom to get permission to rob, kill and destroy. Our words, our belief systems our behavior our generational line has given Satan the legal rights he uses.
Matt 12:36 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Legal judicial language again used .Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
We have probably not been going into court to present our case and deal with the accusations against us .We have often been defeated because of lack of knowledge .We have not operated in the revelation of the judicial nature of the kingdom .Generational legalities can also be in operation.
Num 14:18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.’ Why would people be guilty? Because they have not confessed their sin and repented of it.
Iniquity is a bent or bias towards sin .Iniquity can be passed spiritually through familiar spirits or within the epigenetic memories in our heart or in our actual genetic material .Each generation that continues with the sin or behaviour perpetuates the issue .Familiar spirits can therefore become familial spirits.
Rev 12:10 … the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. We need to know how to overcome our accuser . Blood, our testimony and our attitude.
If we are to use the legal system of the court we need to understand the protocols of the court .We need to understand our legal standing before the court .We need to know how to stand covered by the blood of Jesus, word of God and the love of God in the new covenant.
1 John 2:1 .. But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father—[it is] Jesus Christ [the all] righteous [upright, just, Who conforms to the Father’s will in every purpose, thought, and action]”
“An advocate is someone who speaks on behalf of someone else” the term is often used in the legal profession to describe someone who has received some legal training which allows him or her to represent another in a courtroom.”
Jesus is legally trained and he knows how to represent you in the court .So if you fall short and sin Jesus can represent you in the court and your forgiveness is guaranteed because He already took the punishment . The whole court system is rigged on our behalf based on the cross and the blood of Jesus that is an eternal heavenly record.
Col 2:13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, 14 having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.
2 Cor 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Phil 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, . We stand in righteousness
1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. He picks off the weak, ignorant, fearful and isolated.
Satan makes accusations against us day and night. We can see the charges he brings against us . He has no real authority other than what we give him . He has already been cast down because the victory of the cross . We must use the legal system to enforce that victory .
What happens in the court? Matt 5:25 agree quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Don’t try to defend yourself by arguing your own case self-righteously.
The cross is where the legal issues of sin, judgment and justice were dealt with .We can stand having been made righteous without guilt, shame or condemnation .We must not try to win our own case by defending ourselves .We must agree with our adversary not trying to be self-righteous .We must not try to hold onto our own life.
Psalm 35:1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me .Amos 5:15 Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts .Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Job 13:18 now that I have prepared my case , I know that I will be vindicated’. What would have happened if Job had prepared his case earlier? Would he have been able to block satan’s attempt to destroy him and his family in the court? YES .We need to learn how make and present our cases in the court.
True authority comes from the legal system of God’s kingdom – verdict .It’s like a policeman standing in the road with his hand up, he doesn’t have much power in himself but he does have the whole backing of the law behind him .Therefore because the whole law is behind him you probably will stop when he simply lifts his hand.
Verdict is announced and is recorded and papers are written Depending on the type of case there may be different sorts of papers:
Right to freedom . Right to ownership or custody . Separation and divorce papers . Court orders . Restraining orders.
We get the scrolls and papers from heaven that declare our unjust situation must change . They have to change as all of heaven backs that verdict including angels and God Himself . We must know believe and act in faith according to the verdict . We are responsible for enforcing the verdict
Restitution is a biblical principle .Jubilee is the ultimate restitution .Proverbs 6:31 But if he is found out, he must restore seven times [what he stole]; and he must give the whole substance of his house .That’s not only what he’s stolen from you, that’s the booty, spoils of war, and the plunder .
In these last days God has opened the books and He is going to release justice and we will reap what many generations have sown. Restoration of all that has been stolen from God’s people . Our full heritage restored . The restoration of all things . All the promises of God restored
One generation will receive all the rewards of all the prayers made by all the saints down through the ages .Every promise ever made to any saint will be fulfilled! •It is time for justice .We can receive the verdict in our favour as sons of God.
How do you engage or convene the court? By faith putting all the things we have learnt about fixing our eyes and focusing our attention .Using our imagination as a doorway into the experience .Listening to the proceedings as thoughts in our mind.
Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated .We need to believe and act on the basis that it’s real because it is and then our physical senses will catch up .So when you go in to court (by faith) you need to have an attitude of honour. It’s not a formula but there are some simple protocols.
Let the Holy Spirit guide you and teach you the process .We must honour or respect the judge, the court the angels and the cloud of witnesses. Don’t be impatient, angry or frustrated.
Thanksgiving and praise are good attitudes to have as the verdict is already assured if we follow the protocol.
We must judge ourselves first, admit the sin, repent, renounce and ask God to cleanse you, the blood is there for you and it speaks on your behalf. The court can deal with accusations .The court can also deal with injustices etc. We need to learn to prepare a case .
Why is it called a mobile court? The Mobile Court is a Courtroom that is in session whenever you need it to be .It’s the Courtroom that is always open and ready when you are .Throne of God is mobile and appears .Dan 7:9 He sat on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire.
Basic format of a court case to deal with behavioural accusations: Convene the court or face the accusations being made . Stand in righteousness allow God to cloth us . Hear the accusations . Agree with the accusations . Repent and renounce our part . Forgive, identify and repent generationally .Receive the verdict – not guilty . Receive the court papers . Ask for the judgment to be released on all your accusers present and absent . Use the verdict and live by its authority .
We are now going to practice engaging our soul gates to gain understanding .If you are not yet ready for the court case make a note of what you perceive for use later .If you understand court process use that against any familiars that are either blocking outside our spirit gates or in our soul gates.
