Robert Henderson - Navigating the Courts of Heaven

welcome brother Robert tonight hustle Robert let him share his heart tonight those by stream we welcome you tonight as well a good evening all right I love to teach on this principle I travel around quite a bit and this is part of what I teach I teach it in schools and in different settings because the body of Christ some of us are awakening to the fact that maybe there's there's some tweaking I don't use that word tweaking of our intercessory ministry prayer ministry that we have before the Lord because my deal is this I'm not I'm not interested in just putting out more effort in energy to somehow another pacify my conscience that I did something I want results and and we do know there is something very powerful about perseverance just persevering in prayer because Jesus shared that many times in his teachings that part of the realm of Prayer requires perseverance where we just keep pressing and pushing but at the same time we have to balance that out with this that we were not heard for our much speaking remember what Jesus said that to the Pharisees when we're in his disciples when he was teaching he said you need to know that God knows the things you have need of even before you ask so prayer is not informing God of our needs prayer is actually working with God to see that which we desire need and his kingdom purposes come into being because we're actually working with him to accomplish that and I've made some statements this morning that I want to go into more and more but let me just start with this with this this way I'm going to start in for this group that may be very elementary because I know that apostle team has taught some things and Natasha and so forth but I don't know where you are so I'm because just gonna start where I normally start and help us understand some things I mentioned this morning that prayer we have to discern where the conflict is when we enter into the realm of prayer I mean we know there's a conflict because in Daniel I think is chapter 10 when Daniel began to pray he pray for 21 days and an angel finally got through with the angel or excuse me with the answer but once the angel got through with the answer he said you were heard from the first day that you started praying so the issue wasn't being heard the issue was that there were demonic forces in the spirit realm that were resisting the answers from coming through okay so the issue was that over his 21 days of praying what happened was that Michael the Archangel was sent and all sorts of things happened in this unseen realm and finally the answer came through but that what that says to us is that when we pray we're entering a conflict where you're not just asking God for something when we began to pray where we're engaging Heaven but we're also being engaged by the demonic and there is a resistance in the demonic realm of what God wants to happen and what we want to happen from occurring so we have to realize number one that there is a conflict when we pray okay so so the reason sometimes we don't get answers and certainly don't get them quickly it's not because God is not releasing them it's because of the conflict Korean okay so I'm I just wanted to establish that for a few moments we're in a conflict when we pray okay the second thing I want to establish or the question I want to ask is where is this conflict now I was raised to believe that the conflict was on some kind of spiritual battlefield and we were taught to be warriors and by the way that's right that's that's biblical but I want you to understand that from my persuasion here's what I want you to get is that the conflict we're in when we pray initially is not a battlefield it's a courtroom now why is that important and I'll prove to you that it is but why is that important because the protocol of a courtroom is completely different from the protocol of a battlefield you see you don't behave yourself in a courtroom the same way you behave yourself in a battlefield because if you do you'll be found in contempt of court that's the very least so so here's the deal we have to know where the conflict is where are we good and so here's what I want you to see the rate how many of you have ever prayed for something going after something in the spirit realm specially some of you the intercessors and instead of seeing breakthrough you encountered what we call backlash where then all of a sudden you start getting attacked because you're going after something in the spirit realm after something in God that you know is God's agenda in God's heart but while you're going at it and trying to push it through all of a sudden you start getting hit let me tell you in my persuasion why that happens the reason that happens is because we haven't bothered to get legal things in place first you see if we get legal things in place first then we have firm legal precedent set and we can mark March onto the battlefield and win but if we don't get legal things in place first and engage the enemy we will suffer backlash because he has a right to come against us because we can did not get legal things in place look with me in Revelation chapter 19 Revelation chapter 19 and verse 11 let me just show you this principle it'll help us I think understand what I want to try to communicate here revelation 19 in verse 11 it says now I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse and he who sat on him was called faithful and true and we know that's Jesus and in righteousness notice his in righteousness he judges and makes war notice the order he does not make war before he judges judges judge judgment or judge speaks of judicial activity that's what happens in the court its decisions that are being made from a judicial system from a courtroom setting the Bible says that before Jesus marches forth and makes war the first thing he does is judge or get judicial things in place so I have to know how to go into the courtroom of heaven and get judicial things in place before I march onto the back field because if I March onto the battlefield without judgments in place from the throne of God I risk everything from not being effective to suffering backlash you see I think it's foolish that there's some are another there's something we're missing that we just somehow another expect backlash to occur because I've engaged the enemy while I'm trying to propel the kingdom of God forward I'm thinking there's something missing here there's something that's not that we don't understand I believe that this is a piece of it he judges and then he makes war now Luke 18 look at me in Luke 18 Luke 18 is a parable that Jesus spoke about prayer Luke 18 in verses 1 through 8 and I just want you to turn there but it says that Jesus spoke this parable that meant ought always to pray and not to lose heart not to turn coward so the purpose of this prayer Jesus said or the Bible says was for Jesus to encourage them now you need to understand we must understand that when Jesus is going to encourage them he's not taking a cheerleading posture see how is he going to encourage them by releasing another secret to them concerning prayer so they can be effective in prayer see we think well he's gonna encourage them right he's gonna cheer lead them he's gonna pump up he's not going to do any such thing he's going to unveil a secret that has been hidden that's going to make them more effective in prayer so that they're going to want to pray because now they're understanding something they didn't understand before so the scripture says he taught this parable for that purpose to to encourage them to pray and not to lose heart and faith what is he's talked about he talked about a certain widow who comes to an evil wicked judge and says get justice for me get justice for me and he would not for a while but but afterwards he said this woman's gonna wear me out so I'm gonna give her what she wants and then the scripture says how much more will God avenge his own elect who cry out to him day and night he said yes he will avenge them speedily okay let me give you three issues here number one in this parable Jesus puts prayer in a judicial system he says when you pray you're stepping into a judicial system because that's where judges reside and judges operate so whenever he says this Widow he picked makes a parable of a widow becoming coming before an unrighteous judge but then he says how much more will God he's saying that look if if she got a verdict from an unrighteous judge how much more can we get verdicts from the righteous God the judge of all that we serve so the first thing I want you to realize is Jesus puts prayer within a judicial system that judicial system is heaven number two at no time in this parable does this woman address her adversary she never yells she never screams she never curses she never binds she never loses she never does anything she realizes my success is totally caught up in a verdict from the judge not me doing something to the adversary she realizes that if she can get a verdict from the judge that will incapacitate the adversary and he will be dealt with are you noticing that in that parable why because she understands the conflict the prayer is not on a battlefield where she's got to do hand-to-hand warfare against an adversary she realizes the real conflict is getting a judgment from a throne that will incapacitate the adversary so that as soon as she wins the victory against the Justice she's crying for so that changes the game that changes the way we think are you following me here okay so now watch I just won't be very clear here's the deal once you get judgments in place once verdicts are rendered from the court then we also as God's people and the ecclesia can begin to make decrees against adversaries and they will have to obey them because now there's legal precedence in place to cause that to happen to try to do that without legal things in place is to fail and I've had my share failures so I'm an expert at it and I got tired of failing so I thought there's something here we need to learn or you are you tracking with me so far so two things is that it's in the judicial system and she never addresses the adversary she only speaks to the judge because she realizes what she needs more than anything else is a legal rendering from this court to allow her victory over her adversary third thing it says and God will not God avenge his own elect speedily here's what I've experienced I have watched things I have prayed for for years for years I have watched them when I got off the battlefield and got into the courtroom happened almost immediately because suddenly it was no longer about spending more time in prayer it wasn't about striving it was about learning secrets see I've kind of figured something out in my course of my lifetime of following the Lord and trying to understand him sometimes we as the church say well if we would just pray more if we would just do more if we would just be more that something different would happen and we birthed a spirit of striving sometimes in the church listen I don't believe we need to strive I believe we need to learn secrets because secrets employed can bring results that for in situations that we have labored a long time in and saw nothing let me give you an illustration just personal illustration have one of my son's with me mark but I have a second son's name is Adam it just you know be very transparent with you because you just need to understand the situation to appreciate the story I'm about to tell Adam was a youth pastor up in the northwest part of our country he and his wife had moved up there I had a friend they ended up on staff had done very very well long story short was that the the girl that he was married to after two or three years just wanted to move back down to Texas be with her mom be with her old friends and they had had a baby girl long story short while she ended up divorcing Adam and lives back in Texas a very sad situation Adam wasn't without fault but nothing warranted the decisions that were they were that were made and so Adam ended up in this situation at twenty five six years old in a divorce state with a divorce situation and unable or his 'you'll not being with his child that he loves dearly and all this kind of thing it threw him into a tremendous state of depression and I couldn't get him out I mean I tried to encourage him I loved him I shamed him I did everything I knew to get him out to try to break him he was in this depression for two plus years nothing I could do could get him out I prayed for him every day I prayed I worshiped I cried I yelled I screamed I bound I loosed I did everything I knew to do nothing happened nothing worked anybody have situation like that this is just one of my personal situations so what happened was I go to prayer one morning like normal and I began to become a little bit aware of some of what I'm teaching you and as I went to prayer I heard the Lord say bring Adam to my courts I heard him say that I had not a clue really how to do it but here's what I did I said father I just come and I just bring Adam before your court into your throne room of grace and mercy and I want to present him to you and I knew enough to know this if there was an accuser according to revelation 12 chapter 12 verses 10 and 11 that is accusing us before God day and night I knew that and I and so I knew that he had accusations he was bringing against Adam so I began to to pray and I began as it as his father and as an intercessor that'll go way around I began to repent for the way Adam they just laid down under the situation and not believe God I said I just repent for his faithlessness I repent for his unbelieving I repent for him not embracing your grace i repented for everything i could think of that the accuser could be using against adam in this situation and resisting what god wanted for him from occurring so I just began to repent because that's what we do I'll get into that more near just a moment that's what we do in the courts of heaven we repent because we're seeking to give God the legal right as judge to grant his father's passion I knew it was his father's passion for Adam not to be in this situation but I knew there was something holding him here so I just began to repent for everything the accuser was using and all of a sudden of the Spirit I just felt a release I just felt this release in prayer and then I heard the Lord say this to me now you repent for all the negative things you have said about Adam in your frustration because you as an authority in his life the devil is taking your words and using the as testimony in the courts of heaven against him because you're an authority not anybody can just do it because I'm an authority in his life the things I have said in frustration to his mother not even to him the devil heard those words takes those words and as the accuser says even his own father says this about him so I began to repent before the throne of heaven for the things I had said that actually had given the enemy ammunition to use against Adam in the courts of heaven just begin to repent of all that I repented and repented and repented everything I could think of and everything the Lord brought to my mind I repented of when I got through with that I felt a release and then I heard the Lord say now now began because that's all been broken now began to declare his destiny and I knew some things God has said because on the day he was born the Lord has said to me how beautiful upon the mountain of the feet of those that bring good news so I began to prophesy in the atoms of spirit like he was just standing before me I just began to prophesy the destiny I begin to say awake now the sleepers in Christ will give you life I just began to prophesy things into his life until I fail to release it probably took me maybe 15 20 maybe 30 minutes I don't even know been praying for two years and I was done one and a half weeks later a week and a half later Adam calls me and he said dad can I talk to you for a minute I said sure he said I don't know what happened this is lowered away said I don't know what happened but a week and a half ago all the depression left and I'm now ready to pursue what God has for me he is now on staff in Seattle Washington as the adult pastor in a very strong growing Church with great favor on his life and he's going after what God has for him but watch this what please hear what two years of praying could not do on a battlefield 15 minutes in the court room did did you hear what I just said 15 minutes did no nothing it's always gonna be that quick but the Bible says he will avenge them speedily because if we can get legal things in place in the court of heaven we can win on the battlefield every time if we can make judgments and get judgments in place we can win now look with me in Daniel chapter 7 there are many pictures in scriptures of the court system of heaven there's a very real court system in heaven let me just say while you're turning to Daniel chapter 7 as I'm turning there in Daniel chapter 7 we read verses 9 and 10 because it pictures the court system so clearly but here's what you need to know in it interesting that Jesus deals in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 with the ECLA Sia's in the seven churches of Asia Minor see these ECLA see as it means God's judicial governmental legislative people see let me just cut to the chase as the ekklesia we have been we have a right to stand in the court systems of heaven and get verdicts from the Lord if you can hear this we actually set them in motion remember what he says in Revelation 19 in verse 10 this the the scripture says in that verse that that the angel came or the man came and began to unveil to John certain things and John fell it is at his feet to worship Him and he picked him up he said don't worship me I am of your fellow servants and of your of your Brethren's I'm just like you I've just come with a message and then he says worship worship Jesus worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy well we'll wait the testimony of Jesus do you understand that Jesus from his position the courts of heaven as mediator and high priest we'll get to that in just a moment as media he is actually testifying in the courts it's his testimony before the courts of heaven do you also understand that as he testifies there is a spirit of prophecy that is released that actually allows us to prophesy in agreement with what he's testifying that when we began to prophesy many times we're not just speaking in the earthly realm we're actually prophesying things that is an agreement with a testimony of Jesus that is setting the courts in heaven into operation now that was just a freebie okay when we prophesy we are actually in a spirit prophecies on us we can be in agreement with that which Jesus is testifying because the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy see in other words I just need you to understand there are things that are set in motion that allows God the legal right to render verdicts in our behalf based on the testimony being given in the courts that happen and sometimes we're praying sometimes we're decree sometimes we're repenting sometimes we could be prophesying in agreement with what he's testifying I mean we a possible tonight we're talking in it but could it be that sometimes when people like like those who have gone before William Brennan and all this kind of stuff could it be that what they did when they heard the Lord and they prophesied it actually released a legal reason for God to bless because their prophecies were in agreement with the testimonies of Jesus in the courts of heaven just a thought for us to think about Chapter seven first I'm sorry that's right that's exactly right we're agreeing with Jesus and Jesus is agreeing with us and if two of you agree it'll be done Daniel chapter 7 verses 9 and 10 it says I watched till Thrones were put in place Daniel's saying this and the anxious of day was seated his garment was white as snow and the hair of his head was like pure wool his throne was a fiery flame is full of burning fire so let me pause right there it says Thrones plural were put in the in the place in the midst of the throne we know that v throne is the throne that God the judge of all sets on but there are multiples of Thrones here we know that there are at least 24 I believe there are many many more because in the book of Revelation the Bible says there's 24 Thrones that twenty-four elders set on Jesus said in Luke chapter 22 to his apostles you are those who have continued with me in my tribulation I will give you twelve Thrones to set up on it you'll judge the 12 tribes of Israel so I personally believe that the apostles are on 12 of these Thrones probably representatives of the 12 tribes of Israel up on the other 12 Thrones now I can't prove that but I do know this I know they are of human origin because they have crowns on their head and only humans have crowns because of their faithfulness to the Lord in the earth realm because the Bible says Paul said there's a crown of righteousness later for him James chapter 1 says there's a crown of life for those who endure temptation in other words what does it means these guys have won positions in the courts of heaven they won positions in the courts of heaven see Jesus won his position in the courts of heaven it wasn't given him he won it by his faithfulness to the Father in human form in the planet and God has given him a name better than every other name and he is literally literally in the court system of heaven as our high priest now let me just pause and say this I'm just doing a lot of things at you but let me just say this what was the job of the high priest the job of the high priest in the Old Testament was to offer offerings that granted God the legal right to bless his people that was the whole job of the high priest it was to offer offerings that granted God the legal right to bless his people rather than have to judge them or the Day of Atonement they would go in behind the veil and the high priest would would would sprinkle the blood and pour out the blood and the blood of the bulls of the goats would testify in the courts of heaven because of what the high priests had done and the offering of the high priests of that blood would grant God the legal right to role the sins back for one more year so that he could keep blessing his people instead of judging them that was the whole job of the priesthood to grant God the legal right to bless rather than judge I mean you know we are kings and priests to our God do you know that even we our job is priest is to grant God the legal right to show mercy rather than judge I touched that this morning I want you to hear something it is God's heart always to bless and always to be merciful he just has to have a legal right to do it it's always his heart he's equal to what 22:30 God said I sought for a man to stand in the gap and make up the breach but because I couldn't find one I had to release judgment but he's but his intent was not to release judgment his intent was to show mercy God wants to show mercy he wanted to show mercy to Sodom and Gomorrah but he couldn't find a governmental people that would grant him the right to show mercy so he had to judge we are that governmental people it is our job to go into the courts of heaven and grant God the legal right in agreement with a that Jesus has in his doing to grant us drag are the legal right to be merciful to us as his people and even the people of nations that's our job that's what we're here for that always know if you if you have any counts of intercession in you that all just stir your heart it is God's heart to show mercy see there's this answered questions for me this answer god is good all good gifts come from him then why does bad happen because no one gave him the legal right to show mercy let me just I gotta tell you this stream right now back last not this November the past November but the November before I began to teach this I had a dream one night enter the dream Dutch sheets which is he's my friend he he had written I saw in the dream his wife CeCe had sent me in the dream sounds crazy but he sent me in the dream his official response to 911 when it happened it was Dutch his official response to 911 what happened I don't even know what it said because what the what the important thing in the dream was was right below his official response Cece had handwritten what she had seen in the courts of heaven that had allowed 911 to occur and here's what she saw this was in my dream she saw that just like there are four living creatures before the throne of God saying holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty there were demonic counterparts to those four living creatures that were saying before 911 Bok denied BOC Buc denied Bok denied these living creatures saying holy holy holy these are saint but denied Bok denied Bok denied and I woke up Bob denied BOC I know it was BOC I didn't know anything better so I googled BOC you know what the first thing comes up body of Christ here's what the Lord was saying the principalities over Nations had gone before the courts of heaven and had legal reason to say we deny the body of Christ their rights and on the basis of that denial because there was no ekklesia to plead their case in the courts God had to allow 911 to occur even though it was not his heart his heart is mercy that's what I saw in the dream I didn't manufacture that I'm using that to say we hold the key to Nations not just individually not just my son to Nations if I can get legal things in place so there is a throne with multiple Thrones in the courts of heaven and then it says this verse 10 a fiery stream issued and came forth before him a thousand thousands ministered to him ten thousands times ten thousand stood before him we see it again in Revelation and so forth the court was seated the court of heaven was seated and I love this the books were open okay so what does that mean that means every decision the court is going to make is going to come out of what's in the books do you understand that the books of heaven among other things the scrolls and books in heaven the books of heaven contained the destinies of individuals all the way up to nations revelation 11 John was told to eat a scroll and then prophesy the nations see what was he saying he's saying eat this scroll eat what's written in The Chronicles of about this nation and they began to prophesy the kingdom purpose of that nation into place and by the way let me just say this I believe that the book of Revelation is all about courtroom activity that is granting God the legal right to reclaim the planet why because after Jesus deals with the ecclesia and tries to bring them to a place of perfection so they can stand governmentally before the throne of heaven and they have the right to be there John is caught up into the throne what's the first thing he sees in revelation 5 after he sees the throne and all the happenings around it in the court system of heaven he sees a book that's sealed with seven seals and he begins to weep and cry because nobody's found worthy to open the book the angel says don't cry one is prevailed the Lion of the tribe of Judah he has prevailed to open the book and it says that when he turned to see the lion he instead saw a lamb in the midst of the throne little miss lane here's what you need to get the roar the governmental roar of the lion is always discovered in the brokenness of the lamb until we come to a deep place of brokenness we cannot roar out of the government of God effectively I believe that with every fiber of my being no now but but here's the deal John was weeping why was he weeping because he knew that the court system of heaven he was standing in the midst of could not operate until that book was open see because the court is seated and the books are open if the books were shut the court has no basis on which to render verdicts I'm helping him frige in just a few moments so he said John understood if this book isn't unsealed isn't unlocked and the court cannot render verdicts that will grant God the legal right to reclaim the planet and the devil will win but what happened the became unlocked the seals were broken and what happens judgments began to come out of those books that the finality of them all was to grant God the legal right to reclaim the planet as verdicts from the courts of heaven but what opens books well we know Jesus has prevailed but notice the tears of john played a part in opening these books see until until we come to that place of brokenness there's something about brokenness and tears quite often that unlock and unseal books that are closed now why is this important because I want I don't I have whole teachings on this but I'm gonna just cover the basics so stay with me for just a moment so in these books that are in heaven or the destinies are people individuals Psalms 139 verse 16 all the way up to Nations it is what God wrote now probably need to go here it's what God wrote in the books before the foundations of the earth about each one of us and about Nations the atashi does a great teaching on this called the sod of God that was the council the word sought as the Council of the Lord and that there was the council in heaven probably menial but before time began and there was a chronicling and a decision that was made about what each one of us the part we would play in God's kingdom purpose she has a tremendous teaching on it and that perhaps we were all there as spirit beings before we came to the earth I do too thank you for saying that I do too here let me tell you why I believe that it's consistent with our pattern which is Jesus he knew he came from God he knew he went to God now he was he was God we were spirits before the and Jewish culture and rabbis teach that we were within that Council of God and we actually agreed to be born in the time we were born in and to accomplish the purpose we were assigned to and we signed it and said we would do that and then we come to earth and we forgot it we don't know it but it's our dana of god so there was a council that watch this i'm a previously there was a council that decided it then out of that council there were books written out of the council there were books written about our destiny based on what was decided in the council okay and then we come to earth and all things happen now romans 8 what does it say whom he foreknew that's council he predestined that's when it was written in the book whom he foreknew he predestined out of the council it was predestined when it was written in the book we have a predestined plan for our life that is written down in a book of heaven concerning us he foreknew he predestined was he do next he called that's when we struck getting glimpses of what's in our book the call is when I start getting glimpses of what's in my book whatever the call is whom he called he justified is this where your sticky what's justification that's courtroom activity now watch that's where we refute every word of the accuser that's telling God why we can't have what's in our book imma prove it to you in just a moment and then whom he justified in other words legal things get in place so I can now legally have what's in my book a nation can have what's in their books and Shreveport can have what's in this book he glorified and that's the realm called convergence where everything begins to come together and all of a sudden we're walking out and living out our kingdom purpose and destiny and God's will is being done we prophesy out of the book absolutely an agreement with a book when a prophet really prophesized whether there's him they are prophesying out of the books of heaven I always say with Chuck in Dutch went around America prophesying over each state they were prophesying out of the books the problem is you can prophesy out of the books the kingdom destiny of a state but if there is no ekklesia to take what is prophesied and take it into the courts of heaven then nothing becomes of it I know I'm throwing a lot at you but watch this let me prove this thing about foreknowledge predestined there's teachers out there for knowledge predestined called justified glorified getting what's in our books that's the process of getting what's in our books into the earth room let me say it to this way I love this we all know that Jesus is the Word made flesh John 1:14 what does that mean most of us don't have a clue what that means which is just a good verse to talk about at Christmastime and I'm not telling you I know exactly it everything but here's what I do know Hebrews 10 verses 5 through 7 says of Jesus Jesus is saying this himself in Psalms in his record in Hebrews 10 verses 5 through 7 I have come oh God to do your will in the volume of the book is written of me in the volume of the book book book book it's written to me I have come o God to do your will he said burnt offering and sacrifice you didn't desire but a body you are prepared for me I have come Oh God to do your will it is written of me in the volume of the book so here's what we need to understand everybody has a book in heaven including Jesus there was a foreknowledge in the council and Jesus agreed as God to do certain things in the earth so there's a book about Jesus and he said in my body that you made for me I have come to fulfill what's written in the volume of the book concerning me so what does it mean the Word made flesh watch it means that what was written in the books of heaven that was the word written in heaven Jesus came into the earth to flesh out he is the Word made flesh we are also to be the Word made flesh that we are to live out what is written in the books about us how many we know there was a great battle concerning Jesus living out what was written in the books about him the enemy tried everything winning this power to destroy anything that would allow that to happen but Jesus won he is the Word made flesh because he fulfilled what was written in the wind the volumes of the books in heaven about him he fleshed it out in the earth we have books in heaven and we we are to flesh out in the earth what is written about us in the books of heaven that's what a part of what these books are now why is it important what's that have to do with courtroom activity the court is seated and before it can move into its activities its proceedings the books have to be open because the verdicts the court is going to render is going to allow what's in the books to become reality so if we're going to get our destinies that are written in the books we have to know how to operate in the court Luke chapter 22 verses 31 through 34 very familiar Scripture the Bible says that Jesus said to Peter Simon Simon Satan has desired to have you that he may sift you as sweet but I pray for you that your faith will not fail and when your convert is strengthened your brother and we know that scripture which we probably don't know this the word desired there has desired to have you that whole phrase there it literally just look it up in the Strong's no big depth of trying to make something mean something it literally says when you look it up has demanded you be put on trial jesus said to Peter Simon Simon Satan has demanded you be put on trial why because Satan somehow or another knows at least some of what's written in Peters book and he knows if he doesn't disqualify him in the courts of heaven from getting what's in his book Peter is going to do massive damage to the kingdom of darkness so his ploy to stop Peter is to disqualify him in the courts from getting the Destiny that is written in his books so that he cannot flesh out in the earth what is written in the books about him so here's what you need to understand when it says he's he is desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat it means he wants to tear you to pieces with accusations before the court he is he has watch this I don't have time but he's EQ 28 says that Lucifer was on the fiery stones in the mountain of God walking back and forth when you see him in the book of Job wringing accusation against job what's he doing going to and fro in the book of first Peter chapter 5 it says that our adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour so here's what you here's what we have to understand about that Satan's walking about is about gathering evidence against us why because he's he said he's walking about seeking whom he may devour he's building cases against us to present in the courts of heaven to disqualify us from what's written in our books and that can be everything from our own personal sin to sins of our bloodline that had that he has a legal right to use against us until we apply the blood of Jesus from the cross into those situations God wants what's in our books to be realized but the devil is going to seek to disqualify us by legal activity before the court that's why he demanded that Peter be put on trial because if he could bring enough accusations that no one could answer Peter would be disqualified from fleshing out what was written in his book here's the good news jesus said but i have prayed for you and you're gonna make it Peter I have been into the courts and I have gotten verdicts in your behavior I in your in your behalf I have answered the accusations now you said well that's Jesus no this was before he won his place in the courts when he went into the courts he did it as a mortal man not as God how do I know that because of in his in his human life on the earth if Jesus ever touched his godhood he disqualified himself from being our Savior because a man lost creation a man had to win it back that's why the devil comes to Jesus in the wilderness and says if you be what the Son of God command these stones to be made bread the issue wasn't the stone that would be made bread the issue was the power he would use to do it would he use his godhood to turn stones of bread or would he learn to live his life as a man filled with God there's a big difference see every miracle Jesus did he did as a man filled with God not as God because if he ever did one thing is God while he lived on the planet he disqualified himself from being our Savior now why is it important because when he is praying for Peter here he's still in his humanity so when he said I prayed for you he did not do it as our high priest he did do it as a wanted one the position he did not do it as the exalted Lord he did it as a human being why is that important because that means we can do it that means we can go in the court and we can get verdicts that set people free from depression in 15 minutes and I bet two years wouldn't do or we can go into the court and get verdicts for nations or we can go into the court and get verdicts for our fate whatever it may be we can get verdicts in place that grants us the legal right to now march under the battlefield and win every time and get what's written in our books is that pathway clicking with you everywhere I wanted to get let me just show you one more scripture in Daniel 7 verses 25 through 27 just to show you the power of this court and these shall speak pompous words against the Most High shall persecute the Saints of the Most High high and shall intend to change a lot of times in laws didn't the Saints she'll be given into his hands for time and times and half times now we think about the Antichrist and all that but for just a moment I just want you to not think about the Antichrist as much as maybe even the Antichrist spirit that's in the earth because Johnson is already here so so he says there's gonna be this spirit and it's intention is to war against the purposes of God and the Saints are gonna be given his hands for time and times and half a time verse 26 but the courts shall be seated and they the court shall take away this antichrist his Dominion to consume and destroy forever then the kingdom in the minions and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people the Saints of the Most High God his kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and all dominions shall serve Him so here's the deal watch what happens here the Saints go from a place of defeat to a place of Dominion by one verdict from the courts one verdict out of the court of heaven caused the Saints to go from a place of being defeated to a place of absolute Dominion because those are illegal rendering from the court and nobody yelled at the devil I'm not against yelling at the devil he needs to be yelled at but only from proper legal footing okay go just can I go a little deeper just just for a few minutes I just want to give you one I'm just gonna touch these things Isaiah chapter well first of all Hebrews 12 verses 23 to 24 there are many voices in the courts of heaven you go into a literal court here in our nation you're gonna find many different voices in that court system judges attorneys bailiffs witnesses all sorts of things recorders all sorts of things operating in the courts of this of our nation and let me just let me just put this to you - there are varying levels of Courts in in the court systems of heaven the Bible says in Zechariah chapter 3 and verse 7 I believe it is that Zechariah was prophesying to Josh for the high priest he was given clean robes and cleaned turbans so the enemy had no reason to resist him that God was using to rebuild Jerusalem it says the Lord rebuke you the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you it wasn't even that he had chosen Joshua the high priest Joshua the high priest was simply the vehicle the vessel that God was using to accomplish his kingdom purposes and he was unclean that gave the enemy legal right to accuse him and resist not just him but the purposes of God through him we don't understand how important holiness is sometimes the Lord helped me because holiness steals away our right or a lack of holiness steals away our right of operating in the courts of heaven so when we go into the courts of heaven the first thing I have to do is for every accusation being used against me because the devil will come and say he can't do this because of this in his life so just like that aside for just a moment so Joshua the high priest is said right and then the Bible says if you will walk before me among other things he said I'll give you charge of my courts plural so he's saying to Josh for the high priest which is a legal position this job is to offer up sacrifices to grant God the legal right to have sustained blessings on his people he says if you walk before me I'm gonna let you operate and even have charge in my courts plural see in our nation we have Criminal Courts small claims courts you know all sorts of courts up to the Supreme Court did you know there's only a handful of tourneys that can operate in the Supreme Court it's all based on their jurisdiction that they have been granted we have to understand not everybody is called to war for nations in the courts if I am NOT apostolic Lee assigned to war for nations in the court I better not try to take principalities and powers to court because they know I don't have a jurisdiction to be there see this is where some intercessors get in trouble sometimes they feel they can even feel the passion of God for something but they don't have the legal jurisdiction to attempt to accomplish it and and we could allow ourselves to be pulled in two dimensions that the enemy now understands they're out of their jurisdiction they are illegally mine I can go after them it's very important you stay within your legal jurisdiction in the courts of heaven that's exactly right see what what can grant you some legalities and some jurisdiction is how you are connected and aligned apostolic Li see that alignment Apple stood see you look at the Apostle Paul and he's actually giving the church's prayer agendas from his apostolic position and he's saying you pray for this approve of this now let me just make a clarification I can pray for nations and speak blessings over them but if I start engaging principalities that's a completely different situation I can bless nations I can play for pray for leaders of nations but if I step into a court system and began to wrestle with principalities that is a position that is reserved for apostles and those correctly aligned and commissioned by those apostles that's my own personal belief and I'm speaking from experience I have been in two places I didn't need to be in years going by and I'm gonna tell you something that's no fun and I didn't even know what was going on now I do so I'm very careful about where I tread in the realms of the Spirit because they're a multi levels of course now I said all that to say this Hebrews 4:16 says that we were to come boldly before the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help at the time of need this is a court system that all of us can come into the throne of grace and mercy is a court system to get very easily get virtually whenever I went into the court system of heaven and behalf of my son that was the court setting I went into I wasn't warring for nations I wasn't dealing with prints of eyes and powers over cities I was simply trying to set my son free from whatever was holding him and that was in the throne of grace and when I knew what to do and how to do it at the leading of the Spirit we got instantaneous results so everybody can come into this court system the throne of grace court system if you will so let me just show you this right quickly I just need to do this Hebrews 12 23 through 24 but you have come to Mount Zion to the city of the Living God to heavenly Jerusalem to the numerable company of angels to the General Assembly in Church of the firstborn who arrested in heaven to God the judge of all to the spirits of just men made perfect did Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel listen there are eight things and there's one more there are actually nine voices in the courts of heaven that it is our job to come into an agreement with that we as individuals and as humans and as the ekklesia then began to grant God the legal riders judge to fulfill his father's passion if you'll just let me go for just a few moments you said well how do you get that the key here is this word you have come to Mount Zion and I'm just gonna brush the price passes but in Isaiah chapter 2 it says that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the tops of the mountains in other words there is a governmental mountain that will rule over all of the mountains and anytime you read about mountains you're reading about governments so there is the mountain of the Lord in the tops of the mountains that is determining what goes on in these other mountains and then it says and the people will say come and let us go up to the Mount of the Lord to the house of our God so for this song and it says and out of the of Zion shall go forth the law and Jerusalem the word so here's the deal verse 3 actually identifies the mountain that's in the top of the mountains its name is Zion and so when God says you have come to Mount Zion he's saying you have stepped into my governmental place you stepped into my court system you're stepped into the dimension where verdicts come from because that's what Zion is see isn't it amazing we try to keep trying to get places God says we've already come to we as New Testament believers are supposed to be living our lives out in this place called Zion because if you go in to read in verse 4 by Isaiah 2 it says that from Mount and he will judge nations in other words judicial activity comes out of Zion I'm just brushing past it real quick but what I want you to see is that Zion is a reference to the governmental place that we have come to which is the court system of heaven and we know that among other reasons because the rest of these things mentioned here are legal God the judge of all a mediator which is a legal entity the blood that speaks better things than that of Abel in other words they'll show this judgment is giving testimony see all of these things mentioned are voices in the courts that we are to come into an agreement with and when we do we grant God the legal right to fulfill his father's passion and let me just run through these doing really quick I want to go in verse reverse order in verse beginning in verse 24 it says you have come to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things in that of Abel in other words blood gives testimony how do we know that he talks about Abel in Genesis chapter 4 when Cain kills Abel God comes to Kansas where is your brother Abel he said am I my brother's keeper and he says what have you done for the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground and then the very next verse says you will be a fugitive and a vagabond God sentenced Cain on the basis of the testimony of Abel's blood there was a verdict that came out of heaven against Cain based on what the blood of Abel was testifying blood testimony gets results the Bible says that that we have a better better blood a better sacrifice it's the blood of Jesus and his blood is crying out for our Redemption for our restoration for our forgiveness but it's also crying out for the purpose that was spilt for which is God reclaiming the whole earth back to himself that blood is still crying in the courts of heaven so when I go into the courts of heaven in it listen they overcame the accuser by the blood of the Lamb the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto death so whenever I go into the courts of heaven I fully come into an agreement with everything the blood is saying about me anything I need forgiveness for anything I need cleansing for anything I need to repent for I repent and I ask for the blood to purge it I come into an agreement with a voice of the blood it's testifying in my behalf before the courts of heaven does that make sense to you because without the blood I have no ability to stand in the courts of heaven only by the blood can I stand in the courts of heaven I had time ago in Isaiah 43 but we don't have time but so it says the what the first voice I want to mention is the blood the second voice is Jesus the mediator of the new covenant the word mediator is a legal term anybody ever been into a court case where you're going to go and there's a suit going on and before you go into that court case the judge demands you go before a mediator why to see if you can come to an agreement so you don't have to bother the court that's what mediators do I've seen this happen several times within they go into mediation and if they come to an agreement and all the judge does is put his stamp of approval on it and call it legal but the purpose of the mediator of the New Covenant is Jesus and he functions as our mediator for the purpose of bringing God and us together so he can legally release to us all the promises of the New Covenant see if you're not getting the promises of the New Covenant it's because something legal is resisting you from getting them there's an accusation the enemy is using to stop it just letting that soak in and I don't have time to go through all this but number 20 verse 23 we have come to the spirits of just men made perfect that's the among other things the great cloud of witnesses these these are those that have died and going on they were not on a cloud playing a harp they are actually have positions in the courts some of them are among the multitude worshiping some of them have won positions in the court the best way I know how to describe this it's amazing how in our in our southern evangelical traditions what we make heaven to be about when it is full of great activity and just because somebody dies and goes to heaven doesn't mean they stop their Kingdom purpose of existence they just step into the next round I don't know from the Tosh's never never explain this but there's a there's a guy named David that's there in South Africa that's one of the serious great young man the first time I went he's running around doing all the stuff everything next time I go they got a bed a hospital bed in the back and David's in this hospital bed because he has been in a horrendous wreck and should have died the next time I come he's in a wheelchair I've been there so many times and I've watched him just from stage to stage now he's up moving around and walking but the truth is the accident he was in which was a car accident everybody knew he should have died and he was in a coma while he was in this coma he suddenly was in the courtroom of heaven and the debate going on in the courtroom of heaven was sure David come on to heaven or should he be allowed to fulfill what was written in the books about him and let's stay in the earth and this was the debate going and going on in the courses above heaven and David said suddenly out of nowhere a man with a long white beard showed up he was very gentle he was very meek and began to give reasons in the court why David should be allowed to go back to the earth and finish his destiny and on the basis of that man's testimony the court rendered a verdict has said he could stay alive and the planet and fulfill his destiny it's written in the books and he's well he's healed he's recovered but here's the deal after that man gave his testimony and Dave was still in this court system and in the coma the man turns to leave the court and David Christ him is as Sir the man just keeps well he says sir and he calls him finally the third of sir finally the man stops he turns and looks at him and he says David says sir what is your name because this man has just got a verdict in his behalf he said what is your name I think you may be asking third time what is your name and suddenly the man said my name is Noah and turned around and walked off somebody says well that can't be true really Ezekiel 14 when God when Ezekiel is prophesying about the devastation that will come to Israel God said even though Noah Daniel and job I think it was should stand before me I wouldn't even do it for them but what that says is that these people these people are already dead when these equals prophesying this so they have a tremendous place in the course of heaven or God would dimension them are you getting this he's a lawyer see here my point is this you know I don't know read I am no way of validating that other than to say this we have come to the spirits have just been made perfect they are still crying out for what they laid their lives down for we have loved ones I believe that are in the court systems of heaven they are not on a cloud playing a harp they are the Bible says they without us cannot be made perfect so they're a part of this system in its operation let me give you the next one it we have come to God the judge of all now isn't it interesting that in his verse it doesn't call him father or Savior our Lord it calls him judge why because this is the courtroom setting and the Lord said to me teach my people that they must grant me as judge the legal right to fulfill my father's passion let me explain to you this way I went into the the bedroom of a man his wife who was dying of cancer she was 43 years old and had a 13 year old daughter and she had cancer breast cancer that had spread across her body here's the deal her mother her mother had died of the same I mean identical disease at 43 years old when she was 13 clearly a family curse clearly a generational issue operating here and I laid my hands on this woman's head and I felt the father's passion to healer I'd felt it I felt it many times I felt his passion a healer and in 12 hours she was dead what I didn't know was that she and her husband had gotten into a great place of dishonor and stealing away that which belonged to another person because they had been given a position that enabled them to do that and trusted with it and when they got into that place please hear me it gave that curse a legal right to land so we could have prayed until whenever and she would have never been healed until there was repentance that had allowed that curse to land when it says it's like a fleeting sparrow and a flying swallow it means it's circling waiting for something legal to let it land are you following me I personally believe this is the reason so many people don't get healed don't see breakthrough it's because there's still something legal resisting God from doing what he wants to do because this is what the Lord said to me I can never compromise myself as judge to fulfill my father's passion because then that would make me less than God he's judge of all that's why I say it's our job to get everything in place that grants him the legal right as judge to fulfill his father's passion his father's passion is always mercy always life always Redemption but if he doesn't have a legal right to do it he has to allow nature and even demonic forces to take their toll because he has no legal right to stop it and we can pray and we can cry we can I have just given you the reason why bad things happen to good people that's why bad things happen the devil can't just do anything he has to have a legal right to do it and he uses our ignorance he uses our lack of discernment he uses all that stuff against us but the bottom line is if we can discern that we can understand it we can discern the legalities that's allowing this thing to work we can get that thing moved out of the way by the provisions of the cross put it in place move it out of the way and grant God now the legal right is judge to fulfill the father's passion that he so desperately wants to fulfill and that's on a personal level and that's on a national level that's on every level that's our job that's our job is to give him that right is this happy-making halfway sense because he is God the judge of all and he will do righteously remember that's why he brought Abraham into the equation why somebody give me the legal right to heal somebody give my wife years ago when we were function he's so strong the healing ministry we're so we're seeing wonderful things but we were seeing some people not healed obviously my wife had a dream and this is what the Lord said to her in a dream she heard the voice of Lord say if you do not pray for them correctly they will die we didn't even know what that meant we thought what does that mean now I feel like I have some semblance of an understanding if there are legal things that is allowing a sickness to operate and it could be it can even be a myriad of things if there's a legal reason it has to operate you can't get them healed until you get that legal thing moved out of the way and the truth of the matter is if they get healed apostle to me on top of this on the basis of somebody else's faith it's a strong likelihood that that thing will come back because it still has a legal right to be there so we have to get those things moved out of the way so that God now has a legal right to release healing in a sustained measure it's not just healing us every round but God is the God he's a judge of all let me run through this other very quickly he said we have come to the General Assembly just real quickly that literally means universal companionship mass meeting it is a picture of the multitudes around the throne that are worshipping worship is an integral part to the court system of heaven see worship is an integral part what happens see when we worship we step into a governmental dimension and this is what we as ekklesia are learning how to do in the midst of our worship we then move into a place where we can operate governmentally see David created Zion the place that the tabernacle was set up and had twenty four-hour-a-day worship why didn't David do that everybody thinks Sian is about worship Zion is not about worship Zion is about a cultivation of the presence from which David could govern a nation he understood that so he wanted the presence of God about him so that out of this place called Zion he could began to govern the nation and so when we worship we are stepping into the dimensions of heaven and we're stepping into the court system of heaven from which we can see verdicts rendered just a lot of things we could say there but let me move on we have come to the first born the church of the first one registered in heaven what does that mean that means there is a church there is a necklace iya it is recognized in heaven why is that important because it's all about jurisdiction see some necklaces are supposed to govern a city others are the govern states others are the governing nations it's about jurisdiction it's about where we're recognized in heaven let me make this point this way when you go back into Revelation chapter 2 the Bible says that the Church of Ephesus was warned if you don't repent of leaving your first love jesus said I'll come and take the candlestick away see what was the candlestick we'll go back and search it out it was the two olive trees are the two witnesses Moses and Elijah is anointing that was being released it was feeding as candlesticks what is Moses Moses had a get a governmental authority that delivered a nation Elijah had a governmental authority that turned a nation back to God it was about nations and go Jesus was saying if you don't repent that which is flowing in you that causes you to be a necklace ear registered in heaven that gives you rights to operate in heaven and see verdicts come out of heaven that grants God the legal right to do what he wants to do if you don't repent of having left your first love I'm gonna come and take that candlestick away watch this and the earth will still consider you a church but heaven won't it's possible for the earth to say we're something that heaven doesn't wreck nice there are many churches today they have Church on the door but they're not ecla seus that are recognized in heaven just think about it this is a necklace eeeh you're recognized in heaven you have a jurisdiction in heaven up recognizes its saying come on step into the courts of heaven if somebody says well I don't know if I can do this no listen when we don't know how to pray as we ought the spirit helps us thank God for the spirit ci something that teaches in some song I've had some leaders say oh he's just trying to preach another gimmicky way to price and no I'm not either I'm looking for some results I'm looking for understanding how to get legal things in place that grants God the legal right to fulfill his passion I'm almost ready to an innumerable company of angels there I mean I've heard different ones teach it I mean I consider them right to teach there's 10 different ranks of angels right each sometimes I just teach there you know at least four of those ranks that are operating in heaven and they all have functions let me give you let me you sometimes I share what I shared about them what I saw in the dream were the the demonic powers in the heavenly powers were releasing their testimonies before the courts and God had to allow 911 to occur it came out of the renderings of the court but one of the jobs of some of the angels are this see I'll just touch this in Zechariah chapter 5 zechariah sees a scroll of flying scroll that's carrying a judgment Zechariah is prophesied during a restoration period so in the in his in this scroll he sees it and it's flying but as it begins to land it enters houses and it judges thieves and perjurers it judges thieves and purges why because obviously there are thieves and perjurers that were hindering the process of restoration that God was after so Zacharias ceases but he sees it because an angel awakens him to see it so here's what I believe I believe that when we I mean I've teach this that when we function as the ekklesia in the courts of heaven not only do we grant God the legal right but there are verdicts that come out of heaven that are scrolls they're Scrolls and it is also our job as the ekklesia not only to get the verdicts out of heaven but then to land those Scrolls that allows what God release out of heaven to become reality in the earth see these scrolls were landed and judgments began to come see listen people don't like the word judgment listen you can't have justice without judgment it's impossible if we want just to see judgment is not necessarily the activity of an angry god judgment is decisions coming out of heaven that are setting things in place and moving out of the way everything that's hindering God's kingdom will that's what happened in Zechariah 5 and angels were a part of that process of these things being landed so here's what we try to do once we discern we have had a had something released we also go through the process of landing that scroll we say Lord let what you have released out of heaven let it land let me give you one testimony I'm almost through please just hang with me I could have worked on this farm as well finish okay there was there's a lady that came to us her daughter head was going on trial the next day she lived we're in Colorado she lives out on the East Coast and the reason she's going on trial was because her and her husband had got into an argument she had taken off in one car she had jumped in the other car and he'd eventually rammed his car when the police came they realized what we had when they took her into custody and they charged her with attempted murder well I mean she shouldn't have done that obviously let me before I finished that story tell you a personal story when our kids were really really little markers really though meri and I were coming back from basketball and she was in the minivan and I was in my red Mustang we had gotten past what I described you this morning so I'm in my red Mustang and I remember coming we're merging on the traffic it's January and I shifted down and I looked back there was nothing coming and I stepped on the gas well I didn't know that Mary had stopped in front of me letting a car pass he wasn't even though there was a lane to merge into and I nailed her and airbags came out and kids we were the key one of them in the backseat I think maybe was marked wasn't buckled in and came coming through my arm up long story short I totaled my car I did massive damage to the minivan the police had to be called to make her police report so when they come is I never gave his generous go we're standing in the greater ditch I say that here you guys know what that is I'm standing in the ditch and all of a sudden the police separate us and they Mary tells me later they asked her have y'all been fighting and Mary said no but we're going to it wasn't much of a fight because I have a leg to stand up so that was my personal story but but so this lady has read literally maliciously rammed her husband she's charged with attempted murder the DA will not let it go even though the couple got it all worked out and got back together and so the mother comes and says they're taking her to trial and they're gonna have jury selection tomorrow and all this kind of so we be I began to lead mom through a prayer of bringing her daughter into the courts of heaven and some of you my can share some of this here we have some guys who have several had a couple of guys in the church there in Colorado Springs that began because Katie's stayed in their house where Katie Squires it runs around with Natasha sometimes y'all knows her they had stayed in our house and all of a sudden after Katie laughed these guys started getting numbers they would get numbers while I was pre and it would be exactly what I was preaching out of Strong's Concordance I mean they would get these numbers and so we started using that to operate in the courts of heaven and so so we went to the courts of heaven we began to operate here and they started getting numbers and we led them we led mom through all this repentance and then we asked began to ask for mercies on the situation and all of a sudden it was a there was a number came up out of Strong's Concordance and some of you don't know comma but it meant it meant for a case to be dismissed that's what it meant and I knew we got every so we began to land that scroll we said we land that verdict out of the courts of heaven we don't just get it we landed and we just broke up I went home about mid-morning the next morning when the situation was going on in the East Coast mom called and she was so excited she could tenant she said they went to court the judge looked at innocent this is foolishness and threw the case out all because a verdict came out of the court of heaven that was implemented in a natural Court and a scroll was landed I could tell you more stories but you know used court stories no but not because it just only works in courts but just because it connects things in the legalities let me just tell you this last one sometimes I had to take to tell some of these stories about my family because you think god they're a mess but here's my situation just raise six kids and see how well you can do you know all seriously all of our kids are serving God every one of them is serving God with their whole heart but my oldest son Ryan he started 32 years old now back probably when he was early 20s I suppose it was now he was out doing something and these guys attacked him and he they literally did and they don't want to attack Ryan Henderson because I don't know how he learned do it but the boy can punch and he stepped and he leveled one of them and broke their jaw well even though the guy attacked him he went and filed an assault charge against Ryan they ended up being a misdemeanor assault charge because he wanted somebody to pay for his broken jaw Ryan ended up in court the judge says I'm putting you owe two years probation and don't know whatever fines and situations he had to come up with instead of fulfilling his probation in Texas he ended up going to Kansas and not taking care of his business I know none of you have kids like that but that's just what happened in and he went to Kansas and ended up meeting a wonderful girl and they got married and things are great I mean just tremendous stuff as far that part of it goes but then wonders of wonders the girl graduates from kayuu Kansas University and ends up getting a teaching job in Houston Texas so now they've got to move back to Texas where there is a warrant out for Ryan's arrest and Ryan calls me he says dad I got to get this taken care of I said oh no you do you got to say shouldn't Bend dad you should have never done that I tried to tell you but no so anyway he contacts the DEA office talks did the DA hates him his Waco is not a big place but the assistant DA is okay with him so he actually talks to the system there it says here's what we'll do he said we'll go in and we'll say to the judge this is what the guy did but this is what we want we want to do we want him just to spend ten days in jail pay some fines and he'll be able to go on with life and and they said but the problem is we need to get the right judge Ryan hired a lawyer you know this okay the problem was they got the wrong judge they didn't get the judge they wanted and this judge is hardcore this judge doesn't play games he don't like so so I take Ryan I said Ryan we got to go to the courts of heaven with this and he said okay so I lead him through it's over the phone cuz he was someplace else I leave it and and and we doing the numbers thing and all of a sudden these numbers about violence begins to come out and I began to lead Ryan through repenting for his violent behavior because they the accuser was using that against him in the courts of heaven and Ryan yet though my son he doesn't do this he broke and started crying and I knew it was real repentance and all of a sudden vert things started coming out of the courts numbers and also things that mercy was going to be shown and so and I knew I could sits into my spirit thinks it's shifted we got a verdict out of heaven about this so the day comes for him to go truck I fly to Texas and go with him because this is what we're thinking you know the courts are gonna give us what the DA's are asking which is 10 days in jail pay the fines get out go on with your life it was very small price for two years of parole violations and all this kind stuff so we go into the courts Ryan hitters are standing there the judge says they're done here's that lawyer says something in the DA says well here's what we recommend I've given it to you the judge reason and as he reaches the expression on the judges face changes he says I don't like this at all this is a slap on the wrist young man why did you do this there were parole offers in Kansas and he begins to rip him up one side and down the other and I'm thinking oh it ain't looking good for Ryan what happened to our court and all of a sudden God is my witness the judges expressions changed his tone change and he said young man this is what I'm going to do no jail time pay your fines I'm giving you your driver's license back because it had been suspended because of it all you go home you take care of that wife you finish school and I better not see you in this court again God is my witness God is my witness we gave God the legal right to be merciful he was granted a legal right to be merciful do you get that we've just seen it happen over and over and over again let me finish this real quick Newberg we have come to the to the city of the Living God the heavenly Jerusalem what is that didn't take a rocket scientist or a Bible scholar the angel said come I'll show you the Lambs bride he said he took me up on a high mountain that name of that mountain is Zion because everything looks different from the governmental perspective so he takes him up on this time and he sees the bride as a city coming out of heaven see now as far as I'm concerned and I know there are many different things we could say about that that is a depiction of heaven invading earth but this is what I believe God wants to reform cities by causing the heavenly to be imposed upon the natural so that natural cities began to take on the tone of the heavenly but the thing that allows that is the operation of the bride in the courts of heaven see here's what I believe God wants us to so be in love with him and be his lover that from the bedroom we have courtroom authority here from the place of intimacy with the Lord our voice carries away to see their way out of the way as if we just remember whenever David is weak closing with us David is a weak I'm swearing with so long but David is weak he's dying his days are up and one of his sons tries to take his kingdom again Bathsheba is sent in by Nathan the Prophet said you better do something or her heads on the line and Bathsheba the lover of David goes in and says did you not say that my son Solomon our son would be king why is this other guy taking the place and she appealed to David and David from his position as king rendered a verdict that said Solomon would be king that he as he had promised but here's the deal it was Bathsheba the lover of David that got the verdict from him when we know how as the bride to operate in the courts of heaven I believe that the beauty of the bride will begin to be reflected in our cities that Reformation will come so that watch this our cities no longer carry the flavor of the principalities that rule them but the bride will determine what the cities look like because right now principalities are determining what they look like but when we as the bride take our place we will cause the glory of God to be made manifest within natural cities as the heavenly city is superimposed upon the natural and it all comes out of verdicts from the courts as we begin to operate there so there are and there's those right there there are voices in the courts of heaven so could you stand with me and I know I went really long the Holy Spirit will teach us how to do this I've given you some we let me just tell you one more thing as you're standing we had a situation in Colorado I told you personally let me tell you about the governmental thing to happen we had a situation in Colorado where that they said that we were going to have passed in Colorado another legislation that would allow the state to come in and take children out of the home and it was you don't have a veil er than all this kind of thing but what they would be able to do they would be able to come in if children were being talked Christian principles from a Christian viewpoint they would consider that legitimate reason to take a child out of the home and it was it was on the docket and they had said they literally said it's it's gonna pass it's gonna pass I mean gosh we just made marijuana illegal you know it's gonna pass that's kind of spirit as they're in that state and so I remember was a Wednesday night and I just said we just take this to court so I led the group through the court proceeding led us into the court and I expected a fight I literally expected a fight I expected for principalities and powers and to my amazement when we stepped into the courts it was like the most easiest thing we ever did and I knew we had gotten out of verdict and the next day the vote was taken and to everybody's surprise it didn't pass everything because we got a verdict out of the court that literally set in order God's kingdom agenda in that situation so we saw that happen I've just seen thing after thing after thing so it's a very real thing so here's what I feel like I want to do tonight for this is just close I know we need to go but I mean if you realize you have a book in heaven don't you put your hand over your heart I want you to say these words say father right now I want to thank you for what's written in the books of heaven about me about my family line and what I want to ask that every legal thing that the devil is using to resist what's in my book from being made flesh I want to ask you Lord that these accusations would be answered I agree with the blood of Jesus and I ask you Lord that the blood would speak in my behalf let every Kingdom purpose for which I was created let it be done father I repent for every place I have granted the devil the legal right to resist me I ask Lord that you would cleanse my bloodline so that there is no legal place for the devil to stop what's written in the books about me so I just come Lord and I repent before you and I say your will be done on earth as it is in heaven and I just come

Lord so that there is now a legal right Lord to see your will fulfilled in the earth I thank you for doing this Lord I thank you Lord I think that we get binding contracts in place that allow you the legal right to invade the planet we dissolve contracts with hell it allows the enemy's powers to be broken and his devices to be to be removed in the name of Jesus I want to thank you for doing this

okay I will do one more thing before I turn it back to apostle Tim who anybody here in the room you need a job you're you if you need a job come stand here with me I just felt the Lord said this if you need a job yes you need a job I verified by the Spirit of the Lord that is true okay I just really sensed this some and maybe all of us here there's something leaked and have some of you been looking for a job for an extended period of time okay okay I want to set things legally in place that's going to allow God to fulfill answer your prayer and fulfill this passion okay so I want you to say these words say father right now I thank you everybody pray with us say I thank you and Lord I declare before your courts that I submit myself to you and any place of rebellion or entitlement that I have walked in I repent of Lord I just want to say to you that I want to serve you and so I'm asking you Lord and I am agreeing with the blood of Jesus that is speaking in my behalf and I ask that every accusation that would be resisting me being employed I ask that the blood cleanse me and answer these accusations anything the devil is using I ask to be taken out of the way by the blood of Jesus now say they say father I surrender my life I surrender my heart right now and I ask for favor from your courts that allow me to be employed I declare I have favor in the face of employers that are even coming out of the courts of the Lord now father I just want to decree this over them I say that even things are shifting right now and I pray that as they go forth or that there is now favor coming out in every resistant thing is broken that has been used against them and Lord they are going to see answers come Lord answers come gainful employment being secured Lord so that they can be supported and have the things that are necessary I say before the courts of heaven I remind you Lord that you said that we should maintain good works so I decree Lord that good works are maintained and the doors are open and there is a provision through employment that now comes over these is stand here even as they have brought their case into the courts of heaven and everything that resists them is now removed and the answers are coming now in Jesus name Amen amen hallelujah Wow did your brain fall out tonight we're gonna go by and pick them up later and we'll use them first good Wow scriptures just like pop in as he's preaching I'm scriptures just flying before me too affirm what this is about and I just I know it's unusual I mean we got to grow in this don't don't go to Supreme Court tomorrow all right just we got to grow in the revelation is I'll say this just to confirm this I was Minister in Oklahoma recently and before I went I had a dream and in the dream I saw men underground rerouting water pipes everywhere they were undoing them and rerouting them and everything and then I saw our president come out and he had just come from a court and he had from this court decree did this water it would be rerouted and everybody's like why did you do this and he says I was doing it for your good you just don't understand and I'm thinking wow well I don't understand that you know I couldn't understand it so I go to Oklahoma to minister and I'm gonna pass his house to stay in his house he's out in the rural area and he says you know I don't believe what Oklahoma just did out here the government just did they've taken away all our water rights and they won't allow us to have wells or Springs here anymore that they're gonna run pipes from the city all the way out here their ruler because they don't want us to have our own water sources I then knew that that court case that our president was part of whatever was decreed something and they lost their rights so now I'm gonna get him this series cuz I we didn't know what to do about it I just won cassettes for me I just I feel great coming this way for that anyway I'll trade a book for you or I trade you a book right but I feel like we can begin to decree those things and we have to be wise when you're in alignment he talked about that you got to get an alignment of authority and really be careful there John Paul Jackson wrote a book called needless casualties of war and that book was birthed out of two women in his ministry young ladies in their 20s who decided to try to take the principality of New York City down by themselves and that wasn't John Paul's call he wasn't called to do that and they stepped out and tried to pull it down and both of them died in the same year the same thing both of them died of cancer in their 20s healthy nothing wrong with them they went out the Principality and so he wrote the book needless casualty wars on that issue so we got to be careful of where you're in alignment you know this is a national how we have nations in this house so you know we're gonna begin to deal with issues like that because that's a call over this house but you know if you if they make sure you understand our alignment or where we are or if you're not in this ministry what alignment you're in find out where they are because you don't want to step out of that like he said you can pray prayers just don't go to court over that make sense you want to preach some more hang on I can go on and on yeah and I thought about Susan I said you know there's a cloud of witnesses witnesses witnessing you know about what what they're called to do and what we're called to do so he said since we have them surrounding us let us run our race cuz we got witnesses can decree for us from the courts of heaven what we're called to do your fault your grandfather that saw didn't walk in his destiny but he passed it on to you is a witness before the Lord and he's witnessing on your behalf and he's been in decree says so therefore you need to run your race cuz it's not just about you decree in it somebody else else's decree knit with you oh no I mean there's a preaching on in here I don't want to do it father let us go home tonight and just have this revelation those of you watching my stream receive this impartation right now even though you're not here with us tonight some of you in other states and other nations are just released to you tonight as well the impartation that we received here I pray the Father you teach us your ways as we learn how to deal with this issue and father that we would grow in this and Lord this is a a jurisdiction that you called us to walk in as the ekklesia I pray that Lord we truly be the decklist see that the gates of Hell will not prevail against the Lord will walk in our anointing for this purpose give people tonight dreams and visions Lord let the see your anointing fall on them let them understand what needs to be dealt with in the courtrooms father I pray for dreams to reveal hidden things that are keeping us bound so that when we have revelation Lord we can go with you with that revelation go to before you with that revelation and decree what you have revealed to us I pray for us spirit of Revelation and understanding to be released upon us tonight we bless our brother apostle Robert and we thank you for what he's brought to us we receive and we embrace the message tonight we received Lord the message of revelation and the spirit of revelation it's growing in this house come here out let's pray over you y'all stretch your hands toward him father I thank you for Robert and what he's caring in this hour and father Lord you're gonna take him to another place and and when I put my hand on your shoulder I heard this word legislative mandate and I saw the Lord give you a new mandate of a legislative anointing now I know you just preached that but I saw it come on you and this is a mandate from heaven it was decreed and I heard this voice echo in the heaven in other words is something that you've cried out for and now it's coming and I saw it go into your belly and it said it will flow out of your belly like a river and it will begin to come out of your mouth and it will be a mandate that will actually set a standard for others to walk after and as it goes forth the Lord says it will not only be a standard but it'll actually be a a policy and it will actually be a book that comes out of this mandate and it's going to be a whole thing that God's gonna teach you how to legislate in this realm but the mandate is that you must train others for the Lord said you will never leave this earth until you release this mandate and so there are many others to train and it is not to reside in you and you alone for the Lord said he's gonna raise up others who will actually even take it further than you but nonetheless you're gonna lay the foundation for a greater Revelation for a greater movement within the body of Christ and so I declare that in a spirit I see this in the spirit the Lord declares over you that you have the anointing in this season to begin to release this for the next seasons ahead so the Lord says don't be discouraged by what you see in this season for your alene something that's gonna change generations down the line and it's going to be generational and it will go cross the generations even to the youngest believers so they will not you know this goes to the older and the younger and it'll be cross generational teaching and understanding and so I thank you Lord and there's going to be an authority that comes with this and an authority that comes through you to begin to release this in this season so father I thank you that he moves into this legislative mandate season and Lord we received this mandate from him as well tonight and we start walking in it and I ask you to release that revelation a greater Lord open the prophetic on this man like never before and that's it you're going a new realm of the prophetic it's gonna be in a way of declarations and you will actually stand before houses of authority places of authority and you will decree from those places just like you are a speaker of the house and the Lord said you will be a speaker of the house and you will decree from that place as one whose vote carries more weight many times than those that are in the house and so the Lord will release that for you in this season so lord I bless our apostille friend with that in Jesus name Amen all right hey that's your job now hallelujah all right look at your neighbor and say I'm a legislator all right and then love on them and we'll see y'all Wednesday night or Tuesday morning which one you want come to bless you bless you bless you
