Good day
Last night while praying the Holy Spirit showed me an illustration of a court case where a lawyer would present an argument to the court, backed up of course by evidence and witnesses, in an attempt to win the case and then the final outcome rests with the judge/jury to decide. What the Holy Spirit pointed out is that the devil is like a lawyer, God is like the judge/jury and that our mind (perspective of ourselves and our surroundings) is on trial.
The devil will present his case with all sorts of false arguments or accusations about us. He may use evidence (whether true or false based on our past experiences). He may use witnesses (people that may have said negative things to us or about us) ... All in an attempt for us (not the judge) to see things through his perspective. To believe his lie, agree with him and to throw in the towel and accept defeat.
But - the difference about this court is that the judge has already declared the outcome before the trial could even begin!
Before any case can be made against you the judge has already decided your fate! ... The judge has already declared you worthy! Loved! Forgiven! That there is a plan and purpose for your existence!
The words that God has declared over you has final authority. You have the backing and support of the judge of this universe and His word is final!
As far as He's concerned, it's case closed!
You have an invisible ID card saying that you're a citizen of the kingdom of God and that you have eternal immunity. This kingdom is governed by different laws and regulations. It has its own constitution (the Bible). In it you find out who you are, that you have certain rights and privileges and access to certain things that others are yet to know of...all of this because the judge has already decided your outcome.
Will you choose today to believe that outcome?
Will you choose today to believe the words that your loving Heavenly Father has spoken over you and the situations you may be faced with?
For the judge has rendered His verdict and He's calling on you to believe Him, take Him at His word and to see yourself as He sees you!
Amen!
