THE COURTS OF HEAVEN

COURTS OF HEAVEN
• The idea of interacting with God
as a Judge, or of entering into the
Courts of Heaven is not a new
notion.
• Both the Old Testament Prophets
and The New Testament Apostles
Wrote from this concept.
WHAT ARE THE COURTS OF
HEAVEN
The Courts of Heaven are places where the
legal proceedings of heaven are carried out.
Cases are brought before a Judge, witnesses
testify, and rulings are handed down.
The concepts of justice, law, courts, and legal
proceedings existed in heaven first, and over
the millennia our society learned of them and
copied them.
WHAT ARE THE COURTS OF
HEAVEN
Our modern system of legal justice was
modeled after the Courts of Heaven.
Daniel 7 gives us a view of God as a Judge
who sits upon a fiery throne, presiding over a
heavenly Court.
In Psalm 82, the Lord says He judges among
the hosts of heaven.
 CONCEPTS OF THE COURTS
OF HEAVEN

type of prayer that you may be familiar
with like the book of Psalms – King David
prayed often in the Courts.

you just haven’t realized it.
 CONCEPTS OF THE COURTS
OF HEAVEN
• Going into the Courts of Heaven is a tool
• But the Courts of Heaven is a real place in
the spirit.
• We are not seeking God’s judgment
against any person, but against the
spiritual realm that operates around.

save us. Isaiah 33:22
 WE NEED GOD TO BE OUR
JUDGE
In the Bible, we see that God is called
our Father, Friend, and Judge.
The roles of father and judge reflect
someone who is in a position of
authority over us,
A concept that can be difficult to
embrace for those who have had a
negative experience with authority in
 WE NEED GOD TO BE OUR
JUDGE
When we are summoned to appear
before a judge, some of us become not
only uncomfortable but also very afraid.
The moment we hear the word
“judgment” we think about punishment
and try to ease our guilty consciences
by developing reasonable excuses.
 GOD IS OUR JUDGE

If anyone understood what it meant to

be persecuted in their innocence, it
would be David.
As a boy, he was rejected by his family.
In the court of Saul, he was initially
welcomed with cheers but in the end,
Saul was trying to kill him.

chased away. All of his life his enemies
were constantly trying to kill him.

vindicate me by Your strength. Hear my
prayer, O God; give ear to the words of
my mouth. Psalm 54:1-2
 GOD IS OUR JUDGE

we need a righteous Judge that will
avenge us.
Unfortunately, we are often stuck in
the conviction that we too are
somehow guilty.
 GOD IS OUR JUDGE

But God invites us to go to court

together. There, we will be justified.
You must no longer allow the fear of
punishment, deception, and
condemnation have power over you.
 GOD IS OUR JUDGE

offenses for my own sake; I will not
remember your sins. Remind me when
we're in court together— tell your side,
make the case that you are right.
Isaiah 43:25-26 (CJB)
 THE LORD THE RIGHTEOUS
JUDGE
Our redemption is the direct result of a
court order, our fear of God as Judge
disappears.
All legal demands that are necessary
for the reconciliation of man with God
were fulfilled by the sacrifice of Jesus
on the cross.
 THE LORD THE RIGHTEOUS
JUDGE
The only legal ground upon which
satan has to attack us is our own
transgressions of the law and
regulations of God.
We need to understand that the legal
status “justified from sin” is directly
connected to the confession of the sins
in our lives.
THE LORD THE RIGHTEOUS
JUDGE

When God forgives us our sins as

Judge, He renders a verdict and
justifies us from sin.
When we confess our sins, this
confession is recorded in a heavenly
court?
THE LORD THE RIGHTEOUS
JUDGE

The forgiveness of our sins is directly

connected to our confession.
As long as we are silent, our adversary
has power over us.
Jesus knows the battle we are fighting
against sin; He Himself has fought the
same battle and He did not yield.
 GOD DOESN’T TAKES SIDE

It is His courtroom. He is the Judge; we

are not. We approach Him because
injustice has been done to us.
But do not make the mistake of
thinking that God as Judge will be
persuaded to take our side or rule in
our favor solely because He loves us.
 GOD DOESN’T TAKES SIDE

He doesn’t take sides; when He is

sitting on His throne, He is completely
impartial.
His judgments are based on His
legislation, the testimonies, and the
evidence presented in court, and not
because He likes us.
 GOD DOESN’T TAKES SIDE

God doesn’t take our side, but that we

must choose His side.
The Holy Spirit will help us to better
understand the position God has as
Judge.
We will have to agree with God and
acknowledge that He judges with a
righteous judgment.
 GOD DOESN’T TAKES SIDE

injustice that has been done to us, as
well as our part in it, we will be
acquitted from all charges
 THE COURTS OF GOD

• Psalm 82: 1 - God stands up to open

Heaven’s court and pronounces
judgment.
• Hebrews 9:27 - It is in store for people
to die once, and after that is the court
trial.
 THRONES OF GOD
• These Old Testament verses use the
Hebrew word “kicce”, which means
both a royal throne and the tribunal
seat of a judge.
• Psalm 11:4 The LORD is in His holy
temple; the LORD is on His heavenly
throne.
 THRONES OF GOD
• 1 Kings 22:19 I saw the LORD sitting on
His throne, and all the host of heaven
standing by Him on his right hand and
on his left.
• Isaiah 66:1 Heaven is my Throne, earth
is my footstool
 THRONES OF GOD
• In the New Testament the word for
“throne” is the Greek word “thronos”,
meaning a royal chair of the king or the
seat of authority of a judge.
• Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come
boldly unto the Throne of Grace, that
we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need.
 SATAN AS PROSECUTOR,
ACCUSER AND ADVERSARY
• The accuser of the brethren, who accuses
them before our God, day and night, Has
been cast down. Revelation 12:10
• The word “accuser” is the Greek word,
“kategoreo”, which literally means “one
who makes accusations before a judge”,
and is therefore in context a legal
accusation.
 SATAN AS PROSECUTOR,
ACCUSER AND ADVERSARY
• The word “adversary” here in this New
Testament verse is the Greek word
“antidikos” and means an opponent in
a court of law.
• 1 Peter 5:8 your adversary, the devil
• Luke 18:3 Give me justice against my
adversary
 THE ROLE OF SATAN AS
PROSECUTOR
 And do not lead us into temptation but deliver
us from the evil one. Matthew 6:13
 The Greek word for temptation is
PEIRASMON.
 This Greek is a translation of the original
Jewish Aramaic word mishaonah.
 This word can mean “temptation” but it also
means “trial, the legal kind in a court of law.”
 THE ROLE OF SATAN AS
PROSECUTOR
 Instead of asking God not to tempt us, we can
read this very differently.
 We ask God not to bring us to trial, that is,
not to take legal actions against us because of
our sins.
 Deliver me from the accuser.
 It was the task of satan to present the
evidence of our sins before the Judge.
 THE ROLE OF SATAN AS
PROSECUTOR
 And do not bring us to trial but deliver us
from the accuser. Matthew 6:13 (Aramaic
translation)
 In Hebrew as well as in Greek, satan means
“accuser or adversary.”
 He is constantly looking for evidence that
testifies against us.
 JESUS AS
MEDIATOR/ARBITRATOR
• 1 Timothy 2:5 There is one Mediator between
God and man – Jesus Christ.
• The word “Mediator” is the same as
Arbitrator, from the Greek word “mesites”,
which means:
• “someone who intervenes between two or
more parties to restore peace or ratify a
contract or covenant.”
 JESUS AS
MEDIATOR/ARBITRATOR
• Jesus works as the one who goes
before God, on our behalf, in order to
restore our peace with God and to
ratify the covenant God has made with
us, His people.
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER

• 1 John 2:1 ….I write to you, so that you

will not sin. But, if anyone does sin, we
have an Advocate with the Father – Jesus
Christ, the Righteous One.
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER

• The word, “Advocate” “parakletos”,means

the comforter, and the one who pleads
the case of another before a judge, or one
who presents counsel for a legal defence.
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER
• This Greek word also means “an
intercessor”, which shows us what we
are really doing in intercessory prayer.
• We are taking the case of another
before God the Judge, and pleading for
the case on their behalf.
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER
• Jesus Christ intercedes for us in the courts of
heaven.
• We only need to confess our sins in order to
be acquitted from sin.
• When we confess our transgressions, the
blood of the Lamb can operate for us.
• At that same moment, all our sins are blotted
out of every heavenly dossier.
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER
• But any sin that we consciously conceal will be
presented by the accuser as evidence before
the Judge.
• This is the reason Jesus is urging us to quickly
agree with our adversary.
• Because, when we stand before the Judge and
there is still an open account, it will have
consequences for us.
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER
• When we voluntarily go to court in order to
confess our sins, the accuser can do nothing
against us.
• The blood of Jesus protects us against his
accusations.
• But when we keep silent and rationalize our
sins, the adversary has enough evidence to
get us convicted
 JESUS AS
ADVOCATE/LAWYER
• The blood of the Lamb, though, speaks from
heaven.
• It pleads for us and asks for forgiveness
because we didn’t know what we were doing.
 HOLY SPIRIT AS WITNESS

• Romans 8:14-17 All who are lead by the

Spirit of God … have received the spirit
of adoption…. The spirit himself bears
witness that we are sons of God
• The Greek word used is the word
“symmartyreō”, which is a word with
legal connotation and means “to
testify”.
 HOLY SPIRIT AS WITNESS
• 1 John 5:7-8 Three witnesses that “bear
record and testify” in heaven – Father,
Word, Holy Ghost. Three witnesses that
bear witness in the earth – the spirit,
the water, the blood.
• 1 John 5:11 This is the record [the
testimony before the Court]:- God has
given us eternal life, and this life is in
His son.
 HOLY SPIRIT AS WITNESS

• In 1st John, the word “martyreo” and

“martyria” is used for “the record” and
means the testimony given before a
tribunal (court) judge.
 BELIEVERS AS PETITIONERS

• In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word

“she’elah” is translated to the English
word petition,
• It means to make a request or a demand
for something, and is most often used in
terms of the requests we make to a
Judge.
 BELIEVERS AS PETITIONERS

• We see this when you go to the earthly

courts, and you file a “Petition”.
• 1 Samuel 1:17 Then Eli answered and
said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel
grant thee thy petition that thou hast
asked of him.
 BELIEVERS AS PETITIONERS

• Philipians 4:6 In everything by prayer

and supplication make your requests
known to God.
• Ephesians 6:18 With all prayer and
petition, pray at all times in the Spirit.
 BELIEVERS AS PETITIONERS

• 1 Timothy 2:1 I urge that entreaties and

prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be
made on behalf of all men.
• Also translated as “supplication”, the
Greek word “deesis” is best translated
as petition, which is the act of bringing
a request or demand before a Judge.
 BELIEVERS AS PETETIONERS

• When we pray, we intercede, we bring

petitions and supplications.
• The word “intercession” is “to entreat the
favor of another--especially in prayer, or
to make a petition specifically to God on
behalf of another. It also means “to
mediate a dispute”, which is a legal
process.
COURTS OF HEAVEN

When we pray— Specifically

when we intercede— We are
engaging in The Legal
Presentation of a Case Before
God
 GOING INTO THE COURTS
OF HEAVEN
• There is no need to get over-
complicated on “how to go into the
courts”
• It’s very simple, your prayers, your
intercession, your conversations with
God.
 GOING INTO THE COURTS
OF HEAVEN
• In the same way that we come into
God’s Presence when we pray or when
we worship – you come into His courts.
• Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come
BOLDLY unto the Throne of Grace…
 GOING INTO THE COURTS
OF HEAVEN
• This “throne” is the Greek “thronos”
meaning both a kingly throne but also
a judicial seat of authority, that of a
Judge.
• Historically, kings fulfilled both roles,
the kingly royal role and the judicial
judge role.
 GOING INTO THE COURTS
OF HEAVEN
• The word “boldly” word in the Greek is
“parresia”
• Ephesians 3:12 (KJV) In whom we have
boldness and access with confidence by
the faith of him.
• Ephesians 3:12 (NIV) In him and
through faith in him we may approach
God with freedom and confidence.
 “PARRESIA”

• Parresia was both the freedom to

speak one’s mind, and a privilege
conferred on the first citizens of
ancient Athens.
• Parresia constitutes pure frankness in
speaking, even to the extent of
ignorant outspokenness.
 “PARRESIA”

• While there may inherently be a risk for

such outspokenness, the speaker is to
speak their mind without fear of
retribution.
• It implies that if one cannot speak in
parresia, in that situation, he is a slave
because they lack true and complete
freedom.
 COURTS OF HEAVEN

• The demand and necessity for

truth Outweigh any offense that
may come with the truth.
• God cannot be offended by
anything that we have to say even
when we are angry
COURTS OF HEAVEN

• Hebrews 4:16 and Ephesians 3:12

• To approach God as Judge in the
Heavenly Court, and to speak
with the Right of Freedom of
Speech: frankly, boldly, and
without fear of punishment.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Imagination is your ability to SEE in the
spirit.
• Just picture it in your mind – imagine it,
as you pray to Him, as you speak with
Him.
• Do you realize that your imagination is
not a carnal or pretend thing?
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Your “imagination” or your “mind’s
eye” is the place where you see and
enter into the spirit realm.
• Satan has purposed to defile our
imaginations and to taint our
understanding of our imagination and
the ability to see in the spirit realm.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Do not allow New Age or Occultic
teachings about the third-eye.
• Our imagination or our ability to see in
the spirit is from the Lord and is not an
operation of darkness.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Like other aspects of ourselves, to the
extent that our imagination has been
polluted by sin, it needs to be cleaned
out – which we do with repentance and
the washing of the word.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He
is faithful and righteous to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
• Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean
heart, O God.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• The word for “heart” is the Hebrew
word “leb” meaning the mind, the
understanding, the thinking of the
inner man.
• We can re-write this Psalm 51:10 verse
like this: Create in me a clean mind and
a pure imagination.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Genesis 6:5 God saw that the wickedness
of man was great and that every
imagination of the thoughts of the heart
was only evil continually.
• And this word “imagination” is the
Hebrew word “yester” which means our
framework, our meditation and
thoughts.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• We see this “yester” in these verses:-
• Psalm 103:14 For He knoweth our
frame [our yester, our meditation,
thoughts and imaginations] and
remembers we are dust.
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace whose mind, [whose
framework, meditation, thoughts,] is
stayed on Thee.
• Isaiah 26:3 Those who keep their
imagination on You, O Lord, You will
keep them in perfect peace!
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• Ephesians 5:26 tells us that we are
washed and made holy with the
washing of the Word.
• Your imagination is a gift to you from
the Lord
 HOW DO YOU ENTER
THE COURTS
• When we are in praise and worship,
we sees and experiences different
things. Similarly, you can see the
courtroom differently than someone
else.
COURTS OF HEAVEN

Enter His Courts the same way

you enter His presence in prayer
or in worship:-
See Him before you in your mind.
Imagine it - simple!
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• It is important to know that there are
parallels between the procedures and
protocols of earth’s courts and heavenly
courts.
• Most of what we have in the natural is
established in order to mirror something
in the spirit – to give us a context for
understanding.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• For example, the principle of marriage in
the natural (Bride of Christ).
• Ephesians 5:31-32-- 31 As the Scriptures
say, “A man leaves his father and mother,
and is joined to his wife, and the two are
united into one. 32This is a great mystery,
but it is an illustration of the way Christ
and the church are one.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• Earthly Court Cases reflect Processes
and Procedures and Principles That the
Kingdom of Heaven is similarly
established upon.
WHY A HEAVENLY COURTS
IS NECESSARY
1. The Courts are where we take
ownership of the Promises.
2. The Courts order that it is illegal
to take matters into our own
hands.
3. The Courts provide a Venue to
Punish the Enemy.
THE END
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
1. A Court Process is necessary because
it is how we take ownership.
• The promises in God’s Word are
“opportunities” that you need to avail
yourself of, you need to do something
in order to get the benefit and
advantage of them.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• They are promises or gifts – like gifts
under the Christmas Tree.
• While it is true that Jesus died for
everyone, not everyone is saved
UNLESS they “avail themselves” of the
gift, they must take it as their own.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• If salvation did not require us to do
something to “activate it” in order to
“benefit from it”
• Then, because of Jesus death,
everyone, everywhere, at all times
throughout history and the future,
would automatically be saved
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• There are conditions that must be met in
order for us to benefit from the promise,
these conditions must be met before we
can actually be saved.
• Romans 10:9:- IF you confess with your
mouth that Jesus is Lord, AND Believe in
your heart that God raised Him from the
dead, THEN you shall be saved.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• If this is true of the most important

promise and gift from The Lord, How
much more so is it true for all the other
promises?
• You have to show up and confess with
you mouth – speak out your agreement -
and believe in your heart that it is true.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• Hebrews 11:6 In order to draw near to

God, you must believe: that God exists,
and that He rewards those who seek
Him.
• Activating a promise in the spirit is
equivalent in the natural law to taking
title and possession to the gift.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• if I left you an inheritance in my Will,

you would have to go to court to have
that gift confirmed and to have the
title transfer made legal and official.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• 1 John 5:14-15
• This is the confidence that we have in
God That if we ask anything according to
His Will, He will hear us, And if we know
that He hears us, whatever we ask We
know that we have the petitions we
have desired.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
2. IT IS ILLEGAL TO TAKE MATTERS INTO
OUR OWN HANDS.
• In the earth realm, “self-help” is illegal.
• if someone shoots a family member, no
matter how much you want to, you’re
not allowed to go and shoot them back,
not even just to wound them.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• If you do, what happens to both of you?
• You both have to go to court and
probably both go to jail. (Stealing)
• Part of the reason for this is for your
protection because the situation will
likely escalate and violence often follows.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal
and kill and destroy
• It is for your own safety.
• You cannot take matters into your own
hands in a face-to-face confrontation
with the enemy because your safety is at
risk.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• PRAYING “IN JESUS’ NAME”
• Our authority over the enemy is in Jesus
Name.
• When we go to Heaven’s Courts, the
Judge confirms our authority and issues
Orders and Decrees against the enemy,
requiring the enemy to comply with the
Judge’s instruction.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• It has less to do with us and much more

to do with the Judge’s authority over the
enemy, which authority He confirms to
us.
• Court appearance also provides the
opportunity for an authority higher than
yourself to confirm to you what is yours.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• When a woman become a mother
• She receives the gift and the title as a
mother.
• That title and authority forever changes
who the woman is, and more
importantly, that title and authority can
never be taken from her.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• So in a court of law, when the Judge
issues an Order confirming your
ownership of the property, the
assessors’ office, and the insurance
agents, and the utilities company,
everyone involved with that property.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• They are now required by Judge’s Order

to acknowledge you as the new owner
and to recognize and respect your new
authority.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• When we go before God as Judge, he

confirms our authority in Christ
• Then issues spiritual decrees and orders
that require His angels to serve us in
this new capacity.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• And those same orders and decrees
require the forces of darkness to comply
with the authority we are granted by
the Court of Heaven.
• If the forces of darkness do not comply,
then they are in “contempt of court”
and will have to answer to the Judge.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• The purpose of going to the courts is to

allow God to order your life, and to
release you into your divine destiny.
• In the arena of personal growth, life
coaching and motivational speaking,
focus on self-promotion
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• The purpose is to take control and to

position yourself in your destiny.
• But you need to know that it is NOT up
to you to take the matters of your own
destiny into your own hands.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• It is not up to you to promote yourself in
the earthly realm into the place God has
shown you.
• Even stepping into your destiny is a holy
gift from the Lord.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• Psalm 75:6-7 says, Promotion does not
come from the east or the west or the
south. But God is the Judge: he puts
one down and raises up another.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
3. A Court Procedure provides a Venue to
Punish the Perpetrator
• It may seem like a hassle, having to go to
court.
• But the legal process serves an important
purpose. The same is true in the spirit
realm.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• We cannot take earthly legal matters

into our own hands, the same is true in
our spiritual walk,
• 1 Thess 5:15 Make sure that no-one pays
back wrong for wrong.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• Romans 12:19 Dear friends, never take
revenge. Leave that to the righteous
anger of God. For the Scriptures say, "I
will take revenge; I will pay them back,"
says the LORD
• Going to Court puts the responsibility to
God who will charge the enemy to make
it sure that His word is followed
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY

• Our responsibility is to allow God to do it.

• Proverbs 6:31But if the thief is caught, he
must pay back seven times what he stole,
even if he has to sell everything in his
house.
• A heavenly court procedure will impose
this sentence on our enemy.
 WHY A HEAVENLY COURT
PROCESS IS NECESSARY
• The earthly court cases prevent you from
taking matters into your own hands,
• Heavenly Courts provide a forum for you
to safely receive that which rightfully
belongs to you, at the right time, and
under the correct circumstances.
