Maybe you have heard about the doctrine of the courts of heaven or access the courts of heaven yourself and plead your case(s) in the courts of heaven. Many Christians access the courts of heaven and operate daily in the courts of heaven to present their case and unlock destinies. But where is it written in the Bible that Jesus operated in the courts of heaven or that He commanded His disciples to become advocates and plead their cases in the courts of heaven? Let’s look at what the Bible says about the courts of heaven and find out if this teaching is Scriptural or a false doctrine.
What does God say about the courts of heaven in the Bible?
Where does God speak about the courts of heaven in the Bible and about entering and operating in the courts of heaven to plead your case? God doesn’t say anything in the Bible about accessing the courts of heaven and operating in the courts of heaven.
God didn’t say anything about the courts of heaven in the Old Covenant or the New Covenant. Nor did God say anything in the Bible about Christians taking on the role of advocates and pleading their cases in the courts of heaven.
What did Jesus say about the courts of heaven?
What did Jesus say about the courts of heaven in the Bible? Jesus didn’t say anything about the courts of heaven in the Bible. Nor do we read anything in the Bible about Jesus operating in the courts of heaven.
Jesus never mentioned the courts of heaven to His disciples and later His Church. He didn’t command His disciples to become advocates and plead their case in the courts of heaven. Not even when His disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.
Jesus kept nothing hidden. He revealed all things to His disciples. Jesus revealed the Kingdom of God, the will of God, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the Church and the authority of His Church, the end times, His return, the darkness, the temptations and works of the devil, the spiritual warfare, the Day of Judgment, the final destination of the righteous and the final destination of the unrighteous (unbelievers).
If the courts of heaven existed, don’t you think that Jesus would have said something about the courts of heaven? But Jesus has not spoken about the courts of heaven! Why? Because the courts of heaven don’t exist!
What did the apostles and disciples of Jesus say about the courts of heaven?
Even the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ didn’t mention the courts of heaven, where the Church of Christ is supposed to plead her case(s) as an advocate.
They didn’t say anything about accessing the courts of heaven and pleading their cases as advocates in the courts of heaven. Why not? Because the courts of heaven don’t exist!
We have nothing to look for in imaginary heavenly courts. There is no place in the Bible where Jesus appointed His Church as advocate.
Is the devil an accuser? Ya, the devil is the adversary of God. Therefore the devil is also our adversary and remains our adversary until the devil is cast into the eternal lake of fire together with his minions and followers, who have listened to him and obeyed him.
But until then, we have an adversary, who goes around like a roaring lion, mencari siapa yang boleh ditelannya.
The devil can accuse, bother, and attack people and tempt them to sin, since we are in a spiritual warfare. Ini bermakna, that we will always war against the devil and the principalities, powers, mights, dominions, and rulers of darkness.
Namun begitu, the devil can’t come before the throne of God in heaven to accuse the true sons of God (Ini terpakai kepada lelaki dan perempuan).
As long as the sons of God walk after the Spirit in obedience to the Word in holiness and righteousness according to the will of God, they’ve nothing to fear. Why? Because the devil has nothing in them. (Baca juga: Can the devil accuse you?)).
The law of the Spirit of life
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (orang Rom 8:1-2)
The law of the Spirit of life and the laws of the Kingdom of God, which apply and represent the will of God, stands forever. These laws have been made known by the Word and the Holy Spirit.
As long as Christians stay in Christ, through submission and obedience to the Word, and walk after the Spirit in the will of God, they’re spiritually untouchable.
Jesus is the Way to the Father and He has paved the way to the Holiest
Having therefore, Saudara-saudara, boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; And having an High Priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrews 10:19-22)
Jesus Christ, our King and High Priest, has not paved the way to the courts of heaven. But Jesus is the Way to the Father. Jesus paved the way to the Holiest, where the throne of God is and Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father and reigns as King (Oh. Perbuatan 5:31,-32; 7:56, orang Rom 8:32-36, Efesus 1:20-23, Kolose 3:1-4, Hebrews 1:1-13; 8:1-2; 10:11-14; 12:2, 1 Peter 3:22.
Sinners can’t come in the Holiest. Only saints, who have been made holy and righteous in Christ by His blood, can come in the Holiest.
The saints, who are born again in Christ and have the Holy Spirit abiding in them and belong to God, come boldly before the throne of God. They spend time with the Father in the stillness (Oh. Efesus 3:12, Hebrews 10:19-22).
Why are prayers not answered?
This doctrine of the courts of heaven has been received, because many prayers have not been answered (quickly enough).
Instead of Christians spending time in the Bible and prayer, communing with the Father, and listening to the voice of the Father and Jesus Christ, they search for written prayers, prayer techniques, and prayer strategies that are supposed to ensure that they quickly receive what they want. And so their prayers derive from a piece of paper instead of their hearts and the Spirit.
Many think that what they pray for is according to the will of God. But in reality, most prayers are soulish. They derive from the will of the flesh (the will of man) and are not according to the will of God.
Many Christians pray wrong because they pray from the lusts, desires, and the will of the flesh.
They pray vain prayers that don’t revolve around Jesus, the Kingdom of Heaven, and the will of the Father, but revolve around themselves and the things on the earth. Itu, many prayers remain unanswered.
Malangnya, most Christians’ prayer lives revolve around receiving instead of spending time with the Father and listening to His voice.
Jesus often withdrew Himself in silence to be alone with His Father. Because Jesus loved His Father. He commanded His disciples to do the same. (Baca juga: The secret prayer life of the believer)
What did Jesus teach His disciples to pray?
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amin (Matthew 6:5-13)
When one of Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, Jesus said nothing about the courts of heaven and advocacy.
Don’t you think, that if the courts of heaven were real and this courts of heaven doctrine were true, Jesus would have revealed the courts of heaven to His disciples? He would have spoken about it instead of keeping them ignorant.
Jesus also didn’t mention anything about the courts of heaven to the seven churches. Why not? Because the courts of heaven don’t exist. They are an invention that derived from a vain carnal mind.
Are Christians having an identity crisis and wasting their time in the wrong place?
The devil laughs. Instead of believers being witnesses and soldiers of Jesus Christ, who are taking their position in Christ, walking in the spiritual armor of God, becoming active and fighting in the heavenly army for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God, revealing and destroying sin and the works of the devil and deliver and save souls, believers have an identity crisis and are in the wrong place, wasting their time in the heavenly courts, where they have no business and operate in vain. (Baca juga: Destroying the works of God instead of the works of the devil).
It’s remarkable, that so many Christians don’t want to do, what Jesus has commanded them to do. But Christians are eager to do what (famous) religious people tell them to do.
And so the devil succeeded in deceiving Christians and making the army of the Lord Jesus Christ passive and of none effect. While the devil can go ahead and continue his mission to steal, kill, and destroy and make the world stage ready for the coming of the antichrist.
Is it the devil or the Holy Spirit?
Every believer, who has become a son of God through regeneration in Christ (the death of the flesh, the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, and the abiding of the Holy Spirit), ought to menangguhkan orang tua itu and put on the new man; Jesus Christ. No one, who calls himself a son of God (both males and females) is excluded.
It is the will of God, that His sons submit to Him and obey Him, and walk holy and righteous according to His will.
Corrections, warnings (admonitions), and chastisements are part of the process of sanctification and to mature spiritually. Because whom the Lord loves He chastises.
If you refuse to submit yourself to the will of God and refuse to obey His Word, but persevere in sin, then the works you do and the life you live prove that you don’t belong to God, but you still belong to the devil and serve the devil through sin (Oh. Matthew 7:15-20, 1 John 3:4-11).
Ramai orang, who live as the old creation and persevere in sin, blame the devil for everything, while they are responsible for the things they do.
The devil can tempt you to sin, but the devil can’t force you to sin. You do that yourself.
Selain itu, many murmur and whine, because they are accused by the devil. But is it the devil, who accuses you when you do something that is against the will of God? Or is it the Holy Spirit, Who confronts you with your sin? Since the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment and calls to repentance.
The devil wants people to live in sin
It is the will of the devil that everyone perseveres in sin. Because walking in sin means submission and bondage to the devil, Dosa, dan kematian.
The devil knows exactly how to tempt people. As long as people give into temptation and walk in sin, darkness reigns on earth, and the ruler of the world (the devil) can continue his destruction plan. (Baca juga: Adakah misi syaitan berjaya?)
What authority and power has a son of God?
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: dan, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amin (Matthew 28:18-20)
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Perbuatan 1:8)
But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus (Efesus 2:4-7)
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amin (Revelation 1:4-6)
The Bible says that Jesus Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth. Everyone who is born again in Christ and has become a son of God and is transferred from the darkness into the Kingdom of God, is seated in Christ and has received all the authority and all the power in Him (Oh. Matthew 28:18-20, Perbuatan 1:8, Efesus 1:15-22; 2:4-7, Kolose 1:9-14; 2:9-10, Revelation 1:4-6).
Jesus has done it and has given it all! It is by His work and through His blood and not by your works and your way of living.
Jesus is King! It doesn’t matter whether people want to believe it or not, it is a fact.
Jesus is King and is seated above all power, principality, might, and dominion.
And those who are seated in Him are also seated above all power, principality, might, and dominion and reign on earth out of Him.
Because the Church of Christ is the Body of Christ (the government of Christ) di bumi. The Church of Christ represents His Kingdom and reigns from Christ, from His authority and power.
If you are born again, you have received all authority and all power against the whole army of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you!
Every believer has received the same power and authority in Christ
There are no special powers and positions. There are no special levels of authority that you gain by your conduct in holiness before the Lord. God has given His Holy Spirit to His sons in fullness! And by faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, the sons of God shall do their works.
One is not above the other. Every believer has received the same power and the same authority in Christ. But it’s all about, whether you believe this or not.
As long as you think that you need a special authority or a special anointing or obtain a certain level, you will never walk in the fullness in Christ.
Carnal Christians should stop feeling important and exalt themselves above others and show off their so-called titles. You can have a lot of titles, but those titles don’t prove anything.
Jesus didn’t show off and announced everywhere He came Who He was. Jesus didn’t boast in the fact that He was and is the Son of God. But Jesus walked as Son of God on earth, and by His words and works Jesus showed Who He was.
The Pharisees and Scribes were the ones, who put themselves above the people and showed off their titles and positions and we all know what Jesus said about them (Baca juga: The difference between Jesus and the religious leaders)
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you”
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven (Lukas 10:17-20)
In the Old Covenant, Jesus sent first His 12 disciples and then 70 disciples and gave them all power and authority. They received the same power (authority) from Jesus. Jesus had not given Peter or John more power than Andrew or Philip. Even Judas received the same power as the other disciples.
They had been given all the power (authority) they needed to preach and bring the Kingdom of God to the people of the house of Israel and nothing would by any means hurt them.
This still applies to the sons of God, who are seated in Christ and represent, preach, and bring the Kingdom of God to the people.
But because many false doctrines are preached and many Christians believe these false doctrines above the words of God, many Christians have become side-tracked.
They believe that they first need to receive a word, a special anointing or authority, or reach a certain level and get permission from God before doing something.
Because of all these false doctrines, many Christians have become afraid and doubtful to walk in authority and confront the devil and the powers of hell and death in prayer and fight against demonic powers.
Many Christians are afraid of retaliation and cast out demons
Many Christians are afraid of retaliation. Itu they keep their mouth shut and pray only defensively. They pray humanistic prayers instead of being spiritual prayer warriors and pray offensively and destroy the works of the darkness and claim the people and areas for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.
Many Christians are afraid to cast out demons. Because they’re afraid that demons will jump on them. Therefore they leave the demons alone and allow their destructive work in the lives of people.
But if Jesus Christ abides in you and you’re full of the Holy Spirit, then demons flee from you.
Jesus defeated the devil with the Sword of the Spirit
Although Jesus was and is the Son of God and Jesus was not a sinner, Jesus didn’t have a life on earth without temptations, struggles, persecution, dan suffering. On the contrary, Yesus’ life was full of struggles. Jesus was tempted and tested in all points, just like we are. However Jesus didn’t sin.
The devil was constantly chasing Jesus trying to tempt Jesus to sin. But the devil failed. Jesus defeated the devil with the Sword of the Spirit; the Word of God.
Jesus didn’t defeat the devil by operating in the courts of heaven. But Jesus defeated the devil by knowing the Father and His will and speaking the words of God in the right context and not submitting to the words of the devil.
Where did the faith in the Name of Jesus Christ go?
But where did the faith, Jesus walked in, go? Where did the faith in Jesus Christ, through which the works should be done, go?
Faith in the Name of Jesus and walking after the Spirit in the spiritual armor of God in submission to God’s will is all you need to resist the devil and demons and have a victorious life.
A victorious life doesn’t mean that you won’t have struggles, resistance, and persecution.
There will always be struggles, resistance, and persecution. Because you don’t belong to the world and the ruler of this world anymore.
There will always be storms in your life. Jesus has never said, that believers shall not experience storms in life.
Namun begitu, Jesus said that if you stay faithful to Him and abide in the Word and keep His commandments and therefore do what Jesus commanded you to do, you shall stand in the storm and overcome the storm and not be defeated and destroyed. (Baca juga: The hearers vs the doers).
If you keep His commandments, stand on the Word, and persevere, you will come out of the battle victorious.
What is a victorious life?
Living a victorious life means living in obedience to God according to God’s standards and not the standards of the world. Because the will of God is not the will of the world; the will of man.
When we look at the lives of the prophets in the Old Covenant and the lives of Jesus, Peter, Paul, John, James, Stephen, and all the other disciples and their acts, we read about the resistance and persecution of the world, the suffering, martyrdom and living in captivity.
Although they all walked in the will of God and God was with them, to the outside world it didn’t look like they lived in the will of God and that God was with them.
Even Jesus was esteemed stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted (Oh. Isaiah 53:3-4, Acts 1–28)
What is written in the books?
And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15)
Jesus told His disciples not to rejoice that the devils were subject to them. But they should rejoice that their names were written in heaven. Because on the Day of Judgment, books and a Book of life shall be opened.
Does the Bible say anything about (personal) Buku, in which, dalam kalangan yang lain, people’s destination and God’s plan for someone’s life on earth, bloodlines, ancestors, and DNA are mentioned?
The Bible doesn’t say anything about (personal) Buku, in which God’s plan, the destinations of people on earth, their bloodlines, ancestors, and DNA are written. The Bible says that in the books people’s works are written.
the books contain people’s works
The books that will be opened on the Day of Judgment, contain the works and names of the sinners; the ungodly, who belong to the devil and have served the devil. They shall be cast into the eternal lake of fire, just like their master, and experience the second death.
And the Book of Life that will be opened, contains the works and names of the saints, who belong to God and obeyed Him and served Jesus Christ. They shall inherit eternal life.
These books shall stay closed until the Day of Judgment.
On that Day of Judgment, the books will be opened. Everyone shall stand before the great heavenly Judge and receive their eternal sentence; a sentence to eternal life or a sentence to eternal death
How did the false doctrine of the courts of heaven originate?
In general, false doctrines arise through soulish people who are led by false spirits and are not willing to submit to God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They refuse to submit to the Word and go the way of the Word and put off (the works of) the flesh.
False doctrines are new teachings that often derive from Old Testament Scriptures that are taken out of context. They make people believe that you can receive what you want and what God has promised in the Bible through other ways and methods, without having to lay down the flesh.
Many Christians want to receive God’s promises without fulfilling the conditions. This also applies to the false doctrine of the courts of heaven.
In the false doctrine of the courts of heaven, people are the center instead of Jesus Christ.
It’s all about the ‘self’ of people. And if something stands in the way of happiness, (carnal) prosperity and wealth, and things don’t go according to their will and they experience struggles, then it’s the devil’s fault and the bag of tricks is opened and all kinds of carnal human methods, technics, prayer strategies, and legal procedures are applied.
And so according to the vain creator of the courts of heaven, people should operate in the courts of heaven for breakthroughs, deliverance, unlocking destinies, cleansing of ancestral bloodlines, breaking blood ties and generational curses, and to receive health, unlocking wealth and receive the riches of this world.
But what does the Bible say about these things? The Bible says, that if you become a new creation in Christ, old things have passed away!
What does the bible say about your sins?
Jesus carried all your sins on the cross and all your sins are under His blood. The blood of Christ cleansed you of all sins and unrighteousness. Therefore you have been made holy and righteous by His blood (Oh. orang Rom 3:22-26; 5:9, 2 Korintus 5:21, Efesus 1:7, Kolose 1:13-2:15, Hebrews 13:12, 1 John 1:7).
God doesn’t remember your sins if you truly repent and become born again in Christ and become a new creation.
Itu, why do you have to dig in the past and dig up all the sins of your old former life and bring them to remembrance before God again? God doesn’t think about it because the old man no longer lives and all the sins and unrighteousness are under the blood. Why do you put yourself above God and His Word? (Baca juga: ‘Don’t fall into the hole of your past‘)
What does the bible say about ancestral sins?
What do we read in the Bible in the New Covenant about generational curses and ancestral sins? Where is it written in the New Covenant that you must dig into the past of your ancestors to find out their sins and confess their sins? This is not Scriptural but occult. What if they don’t live anymore? You shall never find out their sins.
What does the bible say about bloodlines?
And what does the Bible say about bloodlines, the cleansing of ancestral bloodlines, and breaking the blood ties? Nothing! The cleansing of ancestral bloodlines and breaking of blood ties are occult and the sons of God should not be concerned with that!
The Bible says, that everyone is responsible for his or her own works.
Jesus defeated the devil and has dealt with sin and death. The blood of Jesus Christ is so powerful that everyone who repents and becomes born again is cleansed of all sins and unrighteousness of the old man.
Instead of Christians becoming truly born again and renewing their mind with the Word of God to get to know the will of God and gain insights into the Kingdom of God and spiritual warfare and walk after the Spirit and do the works out of Jesus Christ, they believe the words of these false teachers and believe their words and follow them as fools and apply their foolish methods and strategies.
The Bible warns for false teachers
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not (2 Peter 1:2-4)
The Bible warns us of false teachers, who preach false doctrines and pervert the simple gospel of Jesus Christ and trouble the believers and lead them astray (Oh. Galatia 1:6-10, 2 Peter 1:2-4, Kolose 2:6-10).
Today, there are many false teachers, who take the words of God out of context and come up with all kinds of new self-invented theories that remove believers from Him unto another gospel, which is not a gospel, only for their own fame and financial gain.
But those, who are born again and are spiritual and know the Word shall not be misled. Since they know the Word, kebenaran, and the will of God.
let the Church wake up
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, Kelemahlembutan. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:3-12)
It’s about time that Christians wake up from their deep sleep and follow Jesus Christ instead of the words of people. Let them do what the Bible says and put off the old man and put on the man.
It’s time to submit to God and walk in God’s will as is written in the Bible and not as originated in the carnal mind of vain people.
It’s about time that Christians walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and follow His example, and represent, preach, and bring the Kingdom of God to the people on earth.
let the church be the Body of Christ and the government of God’s Kingdom on earth
Let Christians, who are the Church, exercise their spiritual authority and power, which they have received in Christ by His redemptive work, by doing what Jesus commanded the believers to do.
If Christians are so eager to become practitioners of the law, let them submit to the law of God, and obey and execute God’s will (perintahNya). Let Christians stop sinning and judge sins and remove the sins from their lives.
Instead of accessing and operating in a heavenly court, let the Church function as the Body of Christ and be the government of the Kingdom of God on earth. Let the Church represent His law and reflect His holiness and righteousness on earth and condemn sin and remove them from the Body of Christ instead of embracing sins and defiling the Body of Christ.
Let the Church remove those, who refuse to submit to the will of God and refuse to remove the sins from their lives, from the church, as Jesus commanded and just as Paul did, who only obeyed the Head and delivered the rebels of Jesus Christ unto satan. (Baca juga: ‘What does it mean to deliver someone unto satan?‘).
Let Christians fight the good fight of faith
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (2 Timothy 4:6-8)
Thou therefore endure harness (hardships), as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he my may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier (2 Timothy 2:3-4)
Dalam Alkitab, in the New Covenant, we don’t read anything about believers becoming advocates and accessing the courts of heaven and operating on different levels in the courts of heaven.
Jesus has never appointed His followers as advocates and to operate in a court of heaven. But Jesus appointed the believers as His witnesses and soldiers in His army. Soldiers fight the good fight of faith and resist sin and spiritual war against the principalities, powers, dominions, and rulers of darkness and deliver souls from the darkness, so that they establish and expand the Kingdom of God on earth.
Let Christians be faithful witnesses and soldiers, who love the Lord and keep His commandments. So that on the Day of Judgment, when the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall judge the people, they will receive the crown of righteousness.
‘Jadilah garam bumi’
