Engaging the Courtroom of Heaven

“If only I knew where to find God, I would go to his court. I would lay out my case and present my arguments. Then I would listen to his reply and understand what he says to me.” Job 23:3-5 NLT

God is a God of truth, justice and righteousness and one of the ways believers access His justice system is in the courtroom of heaven through the avenues of prayer and His word. The same way lawyers need to understand how to function in the legal system of their jurisdiction is the same way believers need to understand how to function in heaven’s courtroom.

As believers we play the role of a lawyer in presenting matters to God. However, many times what we present to God is a slew of complaints rather than a well laid out case before the Judge of all. To present successfully, lawyers must understand among other things who the main parties in a case are and their rights, the precedents and obligations of court and how to get victory over the plaintiff/accuser.

This series we’re looking at the system of heaven’s courtroom and how to navigate it successfully. We pray the Holy Spirit will use this series to open our eyes to the power and efficacy of prayer and God’s word in gaining victory in life. Click here to download the series.

Starting A New Season

‘To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:’ Ecclesiastes 3:1

God deals with us in seasons, and He has allocated seasons to the various assignments we will have throughout our life’s journey. Different seasons open us up to new levels in various areas of our lives, with one season feeding into another. This means that when a new season comes up, it automatically means an old season is about to end.

There are four critical things we need to note about new seasons. One is that God doesn’t follow a January to December calendar, so we need to be spiritually sensitive to when a new season is about to start. Two is that the enemy always knows when we should be stepping into a new season even if we don’t, and he will use that knowledge to hinder us if we don’t discern him at work. Three is that every new season has specific requirements for us to successfully complete it and transit to a new season. Four is that God makes specific enablement available to us to maximize the season, but we must identify this enablement in order to take full advantage and complete the season successfully.

This series we are looking at the how to start a new season, partnering with the Holy Spirit in the place of prayer. Our prayer is that as we engage with this series, the Holy Spirit will open our eyes to the seasons of our life and guide us along the best pathway. Click Here to download the study.
