Our authority comes from FATHER’S Throne!
Psalm 89:14 NKJV
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your Throne; Mercy and Truth go before Your Face.
For us to function in Divine authority, we must carry those two elements: justice and righteousness. Justice fixes what is broken. Righteousness builds what is possible.
Justice is where we stand up for those who have little or no voice. They don’t have the ability to be heard. The poor are an example of having no voice. Whether it’s a racial issue, sex trafficking, or other areas of exploitation and crises, we are to stand up for justice. Courage is needed and we need to step into a new grace of courage.
King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 103:
6 The LORD executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed (defenseless).
Many people speak Truth, but they don’t do it in Love because they don’t consider the outcome of their words. Speaking in Love always serves the person we’re talking to because we are interested in the outcome of our words. We must speak the Truth in Love! What are we producing?
Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 18:
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
So many times, we can say things that are true, but it is in such a biting fashion that it actually condemns and robs people of their sense of hope and purpose. Oftentimes, Truth is misused and abused people. Authority is not for self-promotion or to make me feel better about my political stand or my righteous stand. It’s supposed to be for the benefit of the people I’m speaking to.
Justice addresses the issues of a broken culture, a broken society, or a broken situation. We serve and we speak to the need of the moment in that individual. We work to see that individual become reawakened and move into a place of a future and a potential to realize the dreams that got smashed by abuse or other injustices.
Walking in justice puts us in a position to speak on behalf of those who are broken.
Righteousness looks at what’s possible. The Great Commission released authority to disciple nations. Unity and power are essential to be able to disciple nations.
To display righteousness in society is actually what enables us to help build The Kingdom of GOD on the earth.
Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 18:
19 For I (GOD) have known Him (Abraham), in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the Way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”
FATHER is building a Holy Nation based on righteousness and justice.
King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 33:
4 For the Word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in Truth.
5 He Loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
As we embrace FATHER’S Divine purpose, we will only get where we need to go by using authority properly through justice and righteousness. The lives that we build where we take the broken person and see them restored, this is how we increase The Kingdom. We take those who are hopeless and plant hope in them. We want to restore them to their place of destiny and purpose.
We have been given Divine authority from The Throne of GOD a capacity for justice and righteousness that can help to deal with what’s broken and help to build what is possible. Use what you have to help people, to Love people, to serve people.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:
29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
In other Words, never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful and constructive gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them.
In order to walk in both power and authority, we must watch over our words. Negative words we speak will abort and undermine our own prayers.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 50:
4 The Lord YAHWEH has equipped me with the anointed, skillful tongue of a teacher—to know how to speak a timely Word to the weary. Morning by morning, He awakens my heart. He opens my ears to hear His Voice, to be trained to teach.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:
28-29 Christ is our message! We preach to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of Truth. It has become my inspiration and passion in ministry to labor with a tireless intensity, with His power flowing through me, to present to every believer the revelation of being His perfect one in Jesus Christ.
Paul understood the importance of words so let us speak in the same manner so that we achieve the same results with power and authority.
