JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
THEME: THE JUSTICE OF GOD (PART 2).
Beloved, as we promised you in the previous message on the justice of GOD, we will show you how we ourselves make it powerless by the doors that we open spiritually in our lives.
But first of all let us remember that all that motivates GOD to have regard for us (men) is the fact of always wanting to show us his love through Jesus Christ, his justice for all. This is the reason why everything is given to us by him (Jesus), because he created us so that we can receive his love. However, because of the consciousness of sin, there is a spiritual barrier that prevents us from fully enjoying this love. This is why in his presence we must approach him with a sincere heart by seeking first his kingdom and his justice and the rest will be given to us (Matthew 6:33). And the kingdom, it must be specified according to Romans 14:17, is justice, peace and joy by the Holy Spirit.
So aware of this, our attitude in the presence of GOD during prayer must change: instead of complaints, we must show him our adoration because of his justice; this is no longer a way of doing things but rather an attitude of faith towards the very person of the Lord Jesus Christ and what he has done for us. Ah! What good news!
That is grace!
GOD no longer looks at us from the angle of condemnation but rather from the motive of his love for us because of Jesus Christ. There is therefore no longer any condemnation, no cure of soul to be done for all those who have received the justice of GOD. Moreover, GOD promises to no longer remember our iniquities (Hebrews 10:17-22) and the motive of sin no longer has a place in our lives and it is said in this regard that whoever is born of GOD no longer practices sin but righteousness (1 John 3:9).
In this regard, healing, peace, wealth, prosperity in all respects for example are available to us in abundance according to the immense richness of GOD's grace.
In addition, we must be careful not to reopen the doors by living in sin and this in any area of our life at the risk of having our spiritual blessings stolen, slaughtered and destroyed by the enemy (John 10:10).
To cite a specific case among many others, being a young girl aspiring to marriage, she cannot for example desire that GOD be gracious to her while she is already living maritally with a man, it is not possible and it is a door already open spiritually in this area and in this case she must close it in order to benefit from marriage as GOD wants because it is the blessing of the Eternal which enriches and is not followed by any sorrow. By closing the door in this way, it can be painful: to stop the relationship whatever it costs her in question and it is afterwards that she can hope that the Lord will give her by his favor the ideal partner for marriage.
So in Revelation 3:7, it is written that Jesus is the True One, the one who has the key of David, the one who opens and no one will shut and who shuts and no one will open: this is the solution.
We must therefore close the wrong doors that are opened by the name of Jesus Christ by declaring their closure in every area while seeking the help of the Holy Spirit to help us keep them closed forever and be prosperous in the righteousness of GOD.
We are blessed in the name of Jesus Christ.
