God’s voice is heard in the distance
The final article in the series, Judges of Righteousness
The series of articles (August 12th to 26th) started with God asking me to read the Book of Ruth (again); He caused me to focus on the first verse (In the days when judges ruled…). It was then that I heard the voice of God in the distance. Ever since then I have been standing on the wall as a watchman and blowing the trumpet, i.e. write articles regarding what I heard. So, I am sounding the alarm in response to His voice.
You can find all the articles on my blog (wwjwmtd.com). It is time to ask God if He wants you to hear His voice, blow a trumpet, let out a shout for the Lord, and begin to unite in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
During the next 80 days (beginning August 16th through November 4th) God wants to move through His Body of Believers creating Judges of His Righteousness confronting darkness at every level of our society. Satan has come in like a flood and God wants to rise up a standard/barrier to confront and diminish Satan’s power and authority over our lives (Isaiah 59:19). {Note: It is Isaiah chapters 60 & 61 that gives us authority to stop Satan and all the darkness he produces.}
So, I am calling you to take up the call! I am calling you to be judges! I am calling you to “fulfill all righteousness”! I am calling you to unite with fellow believers and take back what God has promised (The meek shall inherit the earth, Jesus said in Matthew 5:5). “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof” (Psalm 24). Satan does not own it nor those who do evil and follow Satan’s requests. This is your promise from the Lord that King David experienced, and you should fight the spiritual warfare as Jesus commanded just as David gave us as an example.
We are in a unique position to judge righteous judgment and God’s judgment comes to us only if we use His power wisely as the Spirit of God directs us. We must be willing to take back our communities, our counties, our cities, and our states as we humble ourselves, take on God’s righteousness and dress in the armor of God to do one thing—to be judges of righteousness.
As we join together as one person under Christ (no big I’s and little you’s)—as we all become servants (no leadership outside of Christ)—one body helping each other, supporting each other in Christ, then God will be our unity, our strength, and our voice.
Our message is Jesus Christ and His hope, His love, His forgiveness is what we speak about and show to the world. Christ becomes the healing force in our nation—not politics, not activism or division, not one group or ethnic group elevated above other groups. We are one in Christ; no matter who you once were or where your heritage came from. This is the healing a judge of righteousness brings to mankind. We offer the gospel of redemption and do everything possible to command evil to release individuals by proclaiming and working to the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1-3.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”
