It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 36:
6 Your righteousness is (immovable) like the great mountains;
Your judgments are a great deep;
O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
And in Psalm 89:
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.
Righteousness is the perfection or holiness of FATHER’S nature; exact rectitude; faithfulness. HE is always right in every aspect and in every situation. We, on the other hand, are right some of the time.
In Psalm 37:
5 Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
If we want to be right in what we do and say, we must fully align ourselves with Our Heavenly Father. HE has given us The Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into all righteousness if we will walk according to THE SPIRIT. We will be given understanding in all matters affecting us. In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus spoke:
14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear
We need understanding and that comes by submitting to The Holy Spirit. If we don’t submit to THE SPIRIT, then we open ourselves up to being deceived and walking in error. When one is deceived, he is misled; led into error; beguiled; cheated; deluded. What is total deception? It is when you have no idea that you are being deceived! To put another way, deception is when our perception is wrong.
It is not what we hear, it is what we understand that matters. Until we perceive or understand, we cannot know the fullness of what FATHER is saying according to HIS Divine Intent. FATHER’S Righteousness is precise, accurate, and absolute Truth thus HIS Word will reveal error, corruption, deception, and manipulation.
FATHER’S Throne is built on the foundation of righteousness and justice. It is perfect in all aspects and there is no variation, for a throne is established by righteousness. Now with this understanding, let us focus on what FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 54:
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.
If we are to be fully established in righteousness, we must totally rely on The Spirit of Truth. Jesus explicitly revealed the plan to us in John chapter 15:
26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.” And in John chapter 16:
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
Why would I want to rely on my own knowledge and understanding when I have access to error-free Truth and understanding? If I rely on my own faculties, then I am subject to deception which is no different than what happened in the Garden of Eden. Facts without the Truth are subject to misperception. The Truth is our plumb line to determine what is truly righteous.
When we move toward fully embracing HIS righteousness, a shift in our perception occurs. We begin to see things different and our priorities change and what was once important, no longer matters. As for me, my life became simpler.
The Holy Spirit will reveal the righteousness of Jesus as He declares and glorifies Jesus to us. As a result, He will guide us into all Truth!
