There are Christians, who access the courts of heaven and operate daily in the courts of heaven. Maybe you have heard about the doctrine of the courts of heaven and/or you plead your case(s) in the courts of heaven. But what does the Bible say about the courts of heaven? What does God say about operating in the courts of heaven? Where did Jesus operate in the courts of heaven? Where did Jesus command His disciples to become His advocates and plead their cases in the courts of heaven? Do these courts of heaven exist? Is the teaching of the courts of heaven Scriptural or is the teaching of the courts of heaven a false doctrine?
What does the Bible say about the courts of heaven?
What does the Bible say about the courts of heaven? The Bible doesn’t say anything about accessing the courts of heaven and operating in the courts of heaven nor about the task of Christians to become advocates and plead their cases in the courts of heaven.
What did Jesus say about the courts of heaven?
What did Jesus say about the courts of heaven? Jesus didn’t say anything about the courts of heaven, nor about the fact that He operated in the courts of heaven. Jesus never mentioned the courts of heaven to His disciples and later His Church. Jesus didn’t command His disciples to become advocates and plead their cases in the courts of heaven. Not even when His disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.
Jesus kept nothing hidden. Jesus revealed a.o. the Kingdom of God, the will of God, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the Church and the authority of His Church, the end times, His return, the darkness, the temptations and works of the devil, the spiritual warfare, the Day of Judgment, the final destination of the righteous and the final destination of the unrighteous (unbelievers).
If the courts of heaven would exist, don’t you think that Jesus would have said something about the courts of heaven? But Jesus has not spoken about the courts of heaven! Why? Because the courts of heaven don’t exist!
What did the apostles and disciples of Jesus say about the courts of heaven?
Even the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ didn’t mention the courts of heaven, where the Church of Christ supposed to plead her case(s) as advocate.
They didn’t say anything about accessing the courts of heaven and pleading their cases as advocates in the courts of heaven. Why not? Because the courts of heaven don’t exist!
We have nothing to look for in imaginary heavenly courts. There is no place in the Bible, where Jesus has appointed His Church as advocate.
Is the devil an accuser? Yes, the devil is the adversary of God, and therefore the devil is also our adversary and this shall always be until the devil will be cast into the eternal lake of fire together with all his minions and followers, who have listened to him and obeyed him. But until then, we have an adversary, who goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he can devour.
The devil has the ability to accuse, bother and attack people and tempt them to sin, since we are in a spiritual warfare. This means, that we will always war against the devil, and the principalities, powers, mights, dominions, and the rulers of darkness.
However, the devil can’t come before the throne of God in heaven to accuse the true sons of God. As long as the sons of God walk after the Spirit in obedience to the Word in righteousness according to the will of God, they have nothing to fear (Read also: ‘Can the devil accuse you?).
The law of the Spirit of life
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2)
The law of the Spirit of life and the laws of the Kingdom of God, which apply and represent the will of God, stands forever and these laws have been made known by the Word and the Holy Spirit.
As long as believers stay in Christ, through their submission and obedience to the Word, and walk after the Spirit in the will of God, they are spiritually untouchable.
Jesus is the Way to the Father and He has paved the way to the Holiest
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; And having an High Priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrew 10:19-22)
Jesus Christ, our King, and High Priest has not paved the way to the courts of heaven, but Jesus is the Way to the Father and has paved the way to the Holiest, where the throne of God is and Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father and reigns as King (a.o. Acts 5:31,-32; 7:56, Romans 8:32-36, Ephesians 1:20-23, Colossians 3:1-4, Hebrew 1:1-13; 8:1-2; 10:11-14; 12:2, 1 Peter 3:22.
Sinners can’t come in the Holiest, but only saints, who have been made holy and righteous in Christ by His blood.
The saints, who are born again in Christ and have the Holy Spirit abiding in them and belong to God, shall come boldly before the throne of God and spend time with the Father in the stillness (a.o. Ephesians 3:12, Hebrew 10:19-22)
Why prayers are not answered?
This doctrine of the courts of heaven has been received, because many prayers have not been answered (quickly enough). Instead of believers spending time in the Word and in prayer and communing with the Father and listening to the voice of the Father and Jesus Christ, they search for written prayers and prayer technics and prayer strategies that are supposed to ensure that they quickly receive what they want. And so their prayers derive from a piece of paper instead of their hearts.
Many think that what they pray for is according to the will of God, while most prayers are soulish and derive from the flesh and are not according to the will of God, but according to the will of man.
Because of the fact that many believers pray wrong, namely out of the lusts, desires, and the will of the flesh, and most prayers are focused on the things on the earth, instead of the Kingdom of God, many prayers are not answered.
Unfortunately, the prayer life of most believers only revolves around receiving instead of spending time together with the Father and listening to His voice.
Jesus withdrew Himself many times in silence to be alone with His Father and commanded His disciples to do the same (Read also: ‘The secret prayer life of the believer’ and What is the key to answered prayers?’)
“Lord, teach us how to pray”
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen (Matthew 6:5-13)
When one of Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, Jesus said nothing about the courts of heaven, where they were supposed to proceed nor did Jesus say anything about advocacy.
Don’t you think, that if the courts of heaven would be real and would be the truth, Jesus would have revealed the courts of heaven to His disciples, instead of keeping them ignorant?
As written before, Jesus has not spoken about operating in the courts of heaven, not when His disciples were the old creation, nor when His disciples had become the new creation.
Even to the seven churches, Jesus has not mentioned anything about the courts of heaven and operating in a court of heaven.
Why not? Because the courts of heaven don’t exist but are an invention that has derived from a vain carnal mind.
The devil laughs, because instead of the soldiers of Christ taking their position in Christ and walking in the spiritual armor of God and becoming active and fighting in the heavenly army for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God and revealing and destroying sin and the works of the devil and deliver and save souls, they have an identity crisis and are in the wrong place, wasting their time in the heavenly courts, where they have no business and are operating in vain (Read also: ‘Destroy the works of God instead of the works of the devil’).
It’s remarkable that many Christians don’t want to do, what Jesus has commanded them to do, but they are eager to do what (famous) religious people tell them to do.
And so the devil has succeeded to make the army of the Lord Jesus Christ passive and ineffective, while the devil can go ahead and continue to steal, kill and destroy and to make the stage ready for the coming of the antichrist (Read also: ‘The church is seated in darkness‘ and ‘The world church is being prepared for the antichrist).
Is it the devil or the Holy Spirit?
Every believer, who has become a son of God through regeneration in Christ, the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, and the abiding of the Holy Spirit, ought to put off the old man and put on the new man; Jesus Christ. No one, who calls himself a son of God (both males and females) is excluded.
It is the will of God, that His sons submit to Him and obey Him, and walk holy and righteous according to His will. Corrections, warnings (admonitions), and chastisements are part of the process of sanctification and to spiritually mature. Because whom the Lord loves He chastises (Read also: ‘Whom the Lord loves He chastens’ and ‘What if God’s will is not your will?’)
If you refuse to submit yourself to the will of God and refuse to obey His Word, but persevere in sin, then the works you do and the life you live prove that you don’t belong to God, but still belong to the devil and serve the devil through sin (a.o. Matthew 7:15-20, 1 John 3:4-11).
Many people, who keep living as the old creation and persevere in sin, blame the devil for everything, while they are responsible for the things they do.
The devil can tempt you to sin, but the devil can’t force you to sin. You do that yourself.
Besides that, many murmur and whine, because they are accused by the devil. But is it the devil, who accuses you, when you do something that is against the will of God? Or is it the Holy Spirit, Who confronts you with your sin? Since the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment and calls to repentance.
It is the will of the devil that everyone perseveres in sin. Because walking in sin means submission and bondage to the devil, sin, and death.
As long as the devil knows how to tempt people and ensure that they keep walking in sin, darkness reigns on earth, and the ruler of the world can quietly continue his destruction plan (Read also: ‘The will of God vs the will of the devil’ and ‘Is the mission of the devil successful?’ )
What authority has a son of God?
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:18-20)
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8)
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church, Which is His Body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:15-22)
But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:4-7)
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:9-14)
For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10)
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen (Revelation 1:4-6)
The Word says, that Jesus Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth, and everyone who is born again in Christ and has become a son of God and is transferred from the darkness into the Kingdom of God is seated in Christ and has received all the authority and all the power in Him.
Jesus has done it and has given it all! It is by His work and through His blood and not by your works and your way of living.
Jesus is King! It doesn’t matter whether people want to believe it or not, it is a fact.
Jesus is King and is seated above all power, principality, might, and dominion. And those, who are seated in Him are also seated above all power, principality, might, and dominion and reign on earth out of Him.
Because the Church of Christ is the Body of Christ (the government of Christ) on earth and represents His Kingdom and reign from Him, from His authority and power.
If you are born again, you have received all authority and all power against the whole army of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you!
There are no special powers and positions. There are no special levels of authority, which you gain by your conduct in holiness before the Lord. God has given His Holy Spirit to His sons in fulness! And by faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, the sons of God shall do their works.
One is not above the other. Every believer has received the same power and the same authority in Christ. But it’s all about, whether you believe this or not. As long as you think that you need a special authority or a special anointing, or obtain a certain level, then you will never walk in the fulness in Christ (‘What does the Bible say about the anointing?‘, ‘How many anointings are there?‘ and ‘The lie of levels‘)
Carnal Christians should stop to feel important and exalt themselves above others and show off their so-called titles. You can have a lot of titles, but those titles don’t prove anything.
Jesus didn’t show off and didn’t announce everywhere He came Who He was and didn’t boast in the fact that He was and is the Son of God, but Jesus walked as Son of God on earth, and by His words and works Jesus showed Who He was.
The Pharisees and Scribes were the ones, who put themselves above the people and showed off their titles and positions and we all know what Jesus said about them (Read also: ‘The difference between Jesus and the religious leaders’ and ‘What are the similarities between the religious leader then and now?’)
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven (Luke 10:17-20)
In the Old Covenant, Jesus had sent His 12 and later on 70 disciples and had given them all power and authority. They had received the same power (authority) in its fulness from Jesus. Jesus didn’t give Peter or John more power than Andrew or Philip. Even Judas received the same power as the others.
They had been given all the power (authority) they needed to preach the Kingdom of God and to bring the Kingdom of God to the people, who belonged to the house of Israel and nothing would by any means hurt them.
And this still applies to the sons of God, who are now seated in Christ and who represent, preach, and bring the Kingdom of God to the people.
But because of the many false doctrines, which are preached and because many Christians believe these false doctrines above the words of God, many Christians have become side-tracked and believe that they first need to receive a word, or special anointing or authority or reach a certain level and besides that receive permission from God, before doing something.
Because of all these false doctrines, many Christians have become afraid and doubtful to walk in authority and to address the devil and the powers of hell and death in prayer, and to fight against demonic powers.
Many are afraid of retaliation and therefore they keep their mouth shut and pray in a defensive manner and pray humanistic prayers, instead of being spiritual prayer warriors and pray offensively and destroy the works of the darkness and claim the people and areas for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.
Many are afraid to cast out demons, because they are afraid that demons will jump on them. Therefore they leave the demons alone
But if Jesus Christ abides in you and you are full of the Holy Spirit, then demons shall flee from you.
Jesus defeated the devil with the Sword of the Spirit
Although Jesus was and is the Son of God and Jesus was not a sinner, Jesus didn’t have a life on earth without temptations, struggles, persecution, and sufferings. On the contrary, Jesus had a life full of struggles and was tempted and tested in all points, just like we are, without sin.
The devil was constantly chasing Jesus and tried to tempt Jesus to sin. But the devil didn’t succeed. Jesus defeated the devil with the Sword of the Spirit; the Word of God.
Jesus didn’t defeat the devil by operating in the courts of heaven, but Jesus defeated the devil by knowing the Father and His will and by speaking the words of God in the right context, and by not submitting to the words of the devil.
Where did the faith in the Name of Jesus Christ go?
But where did the faith go, in which Jesus walked in? Where did the faith in Jesus Christ, through which the works should be done, go?
Faith in the Name of Jesus and walking after the Spirit in the spiritual armor of God in submission to God’s will is all you need to resist the devil and demons and have a victorious life (Read also: ‘Faith in the Name of Jesus‘).
A victorious life doesn’t mean that you won’t have struggles, resistance, and persecution. Because there will always be struggles, resistance, and persecution because you don’t belong to the world and the ruler of this world anymore.
There will always be storms in your life. Jesus has never said, that believers shall not experience storms in life.
However, Jesus did say, that if you stay faithful to Him and abide in the Word and keep His commandments and therefore you do what Jesus commanded you to do, then you shall stand in the storm and overcome the storm and not be defeated and destroyed (Read also: ‘The hearers vs the doers’)
If you keep His commandments and keep standing on the Word and persevere then you will come out of the battle victorious.
Living a victorious life is living a victorious life according to God’s standards and not the standards of the world. Because the will of God is not the will of the world; the will of man.
When we look at the lives of the prophets in the Old Covenant and the lives of Jesus, Peter, Paul, John, James, Stephen, and all the other disciples and their acts, then we read about the resistance and persecution of the world, the martyrdom and living in captivity.
Although they all walked in the will of God and God was with them, to the outside world it didn’t look like they lived in the will of God and that God was with them. Even Jesus was esteemed stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted (a.o. Isaiah 53:3-4, Acts 1–28)
What is written in the books?
And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15)
Jesus said to His disciples that they should not rejoice that the devils were subject to them but that their names were written in heaven. Because on the Day of Judgment books and a book of life shall be opened.
Does the Bible say anything about (personal) books, in which a.o. people’s destination and God’s plan for someone’s life on earth, bloodlines, ancestors, and DNA are mentioned?
The Word doesn’t say anything about (personal) books, in which God’s plan and the destinations of people on earth and their bloodlines, ancestors, and DNA are written. The Word says, that in the books, which will be opened, the works of people are written.
The books, which will be opened on the Day of Judgment, contain the works and names of the sinners; the ungodly, who belong to the devil and have served the devil. They shall be cast into the eternal lake of fire just like their master and experience the second death.
And the book of life, which will be opened, contains the works and names of the saints, who belong to God and served Jesus Christ. They shall inherit eternal life.
These books shall stay closed until the Day of Judgment.
On that Day of Judgment, the books will be opened, and everyone shall stand before the great heavenly Judge and receive their eternal sentence; a sentence to eternal life or a sentence to eternal death
How did the false doctrine of the courts of heaven originate?
In general, false doctrines arise through soulish people, who are led by false spirits and are not willing to submit to God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and refuse to go the way of the Word and put off (the works of) the flesh.
False doctrines are new teachings, which many times derive from Old Testament Scriptures that are taken out of context, and make the people believe that you can receive what you want and what God has promised in the Bible via other ways, without having to lay down the flesh.
Because many believers want to receive the promises of God, without fulfilling the conditions. This also applies to the false doctrine of the courts of heaven.
In the false doctrine of the courts of heaven man is the center instead of Jesus Christ. It’s all about the ‘self’ of people and if something stands in the way of happiness, prosperity, and carnal wealth and things don’t go as expected or according to their will and they experience struggles, then it’s the devil’s fault and the bag of tricks is opened and all kinds of carnal human methods, technics, prayer strategies, and legal procedures are applied.
And so according to the vain creator of the courts of heaven, people should operate in the courts of heaven for breakthroughs, deliverance, unlocking destinies, cleansing of ancestral bloodlines, breaking blood ties and generational curses, and to receive health, unlocking wealth and receive the riches of this world.
But what does the Bible say about these things? The Word says, that if you have become a new creation in Christ, old things have passed away! Jesus has carried all your sins on the cross and all your sins are under His blood. You are cleansed by His blood of all sins and unrighteousness. Therefore you have been made holy and righteous by His blood (a.o. Romans 3:22-26; 5:9, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13-2:15, Hebrew 13:12, 1 John 1:7)
God doesn’t remember your sins, if you truly have repented and have become born again in Christ and have become a new creation.
Therefore, why do you have to dig in the past and dig up all the sins of your old former life and bring them to remembrance before God again, while God doesn’t think about it because the old man no longer lives and all the sins and unrighteousness are under the blood. Why do you put yourself above God? (Read also: ‘Don’t fall into the hole of your past‘)
And what do we read in the Bible in the New Covenant about generational curses and ancestral sins? Where is it written in the New Covenant that you must dig in the past of your ancestors to find out their sins and why must you confess their sins? This is not Scriptural but occult. What if they don’t live anymore? You shall never find out their sins.
And what does the Bible say about bloodlines, the cleansing of ancestral bloodlines, and breaking the blood ties? Nothing! The cleansing of ancestral bloodlines and breaking of blood ties are occult and the sons of God should not be concerned with that!
The Word says, that everyone is responsible for his or her own works.
Jesus has defeated the devil and has dealt with sin and death. The blood of Jesus Christ is so powerful that everyone who repents and becomes born again has been cleansed of all sins and unrighteousness of the old man.
Instead of Christians becoming truly born again and renewing their mind with the Word of God to get to know the will of God and gain insights into the Kingdom of God and spiritual warfare and walk after the Spirit and do the works out of Jesus Christ, they believe the words of these false teachers and believe their words and follow them as fools and apply their foolish methods and strategies.
The Bible warns for false teachers
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ (Galatians 1:6-10)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not (2 Peter 1:2-4)
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:6-10)
The Bible warns us of false teachers, who preach false doctrines and pervert the simple gospel of Jesus Christ and trouble the believers and cause them to go astray.
Today, there are many false teachers, who take the words of God out of context and come up with all kinds of new self-invented theories, that remove believers from Him unto another gospel, which is not a gospel, only for their own fame and financial gain.
But those, who are born again and are spiritual and know the Word shall not be misled, since they know the Word, the Truth, and the will of God.
Wake up and fight the good fight of faith
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:3-12)
Thou therefore endure harness (hardships), as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he my may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier (2 Timothy 2:3-4)
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (2 Timothy 4:6-8)
It’s about time that Christians wake up from their deep sleep and follow Jesus Christ instead of the words of people and do what the Word says and put off the old man and put on the man and submit to God and walk in the will of God as is written in the Bible and not originated in the carnal mind of vain people.
It’s about time that Christians walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and follow His example and represent the Kingdom of God on earth and preach and bring the Kingdom of God to the people
Let the believers, who are the Church, exercise their spiritual authority and power, which they have received in Christ by His work, by doing what Jesus has commanded the believers to do.
If Christians are so eager to become practitioners of the law, let them submit to the law of God and obey the will of God and execute His will; His commandments and stop sinning and judge sins and remove them from their lives.
Instead of accessing and operating in a heavenly court, let the Church function as the Body of Christ and be the government of the Kingdom of God on earth that represent His law and reflect His holiness and His righteousness on earth and condemn sin and remove them from the Body of Christ instead of embracing sins and defile the Body of Christ.
Let the Church remove those, who refuse to submit to the will of God and refuse to remove the sins from their lives, from the church, as Jesus commanded and just as Paul did, who only obeyed the Head and delivered the rebels of Jesus Christ unto satan (Read also: ‘What does it mean to deliver someone unto satan?‘).
In the Bible, in the New Covenant, we don’t read anything about believers becoming advocates and accessing the courts of heaven and operating on different levels in the courts of heaven.
Jesus has never appointed His followers as advocates and to operate in a court of heaven, but Jesus has appointed the believers as fighting soldiers in His army, who fight the good fight of faith and resist sin and spiritually war against the principalities, powers, dominions, and rulers of darkness and deliver souls from the darkness, so that they shall establish and expand the Kingdom of God on earth and on the Day of Judgment, when the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall judge the people, those who have loved the Lord and kept His commandment will receive the crown of righteousness.
‘Be the salt of the earth’
