Sweet Sounds From Heaven

Have you ever noticed while reading through the Bible, that much of it reads like a legal document? The first five books of the Old Testament are even called the Law. After the death of Moses, another book was written called Judges. The Bible uses such words as petition, false balance, just weight, rightly dividing, justify or condemn, acquitted, defend, righteous judgment, reprove, lawful, delivers from death, everlasting covenant, counselor, mediator, mercy and God is judge over all the earth.

These are just a few, but enough to get me thinking about the High Courts of Heaven. We have rights when accused. Just as a lawyer would research the law, we must research the law of God and discover what belongs to us because of the Shed Blood of Jesus, our Mediator. What happened between the Cross and the Throne is more than significant. He made a way for our Victory. Thank you JESUS for the Cross at Calvary. He legally striped the devil of all authority. I Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory!!! Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Since there are always consequences to actions, repentance may be the 1st Article that needs to be presented to Our Righteous Judge. Once right relationship is restored, He can legally take over and fights our battles. He always has our best interest in mind. Even the word, Testament, Old or New, means the same thing as Law or Will. The Last Will and Testament of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ is definitely a legal document. JESUS is the only person who has ever died and rose again to make sure His Will is properly carried out.

All Rise!! There is always respect and honor in the court system because justice hangs in the balance. We have a dress code, time frame and rules. Our actions are judged in that environment.
Honor and Respect for the Judge of all the earth grants us tremendous FAVOR with the Court System of Heaven. God is standing ready and watching over His Word to perform them on our behalf. We have a legal right to stand before the Creator of the Universe, Judge over all the Earth and watch Him rule in our favor and change whatever needs to be changed for our benefit. Isaiah 33:22  For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our King; he will save us.

Prayer is a Petition. When based on the Word of God, the Judge can and will perform it. Matthew 21: 21, 22 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

There’s no way to get around it, we must have and use our Faith. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. This gives a deeper dimension to the Lords Prayer. Thy Will Be Done in earth as it is in the High Courts of Heaven.
