How to Make Use of the Courtroom of Heaven When You Are Praying

Labels:


Many Christians today are learning about the Courtroom of Heaven and how powerful it is in prayer. This is not a strange or scary idea. In fact, the Bible talks about God as a Judge, Jesus as our Advocate, and the devil as the accuser. When we understand how this spiritual court works, we can pray more effectively, win spiritual battles, and receive answers that were being delayed.

What Is the Courtroom of Heaven?

The Courtroom of Heaven is a spiritual place where legal matters in the spirit realm are settled. Just like there are courts on earth, there is also a heavenly courtroom where God sits as the righteous Judge (Psalm 82:1, Daniel 7:10). In this courtroom:

  1. God is the Judge
  2. Jesus is your Advocate or Lawyer (1 John 2:1)
  3. The Holy Spirit is your Helper and Witness (Romans 8:26)
  4. Satan is the Accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10)

This is where decisions are made concerning destinies, families, nations, and personal matters. Many times, the battles we are fighting in life are legal in nature. Satan finds legal grounds to delay, block, or steal blessings.

How the Enemy Accuses Us

The Bible calls Satan the "accuser of the brethren." He brings up sins, curses, covenants, or ancestral agreements in the courtroom to stop us from receiving what God has promised. His job is to dig up every reason why we should not be blessed, healed, or delivered.

Some of the accusations he uses include:

  1. Unconfessed sin or unforgiveness
  2. Bloodline curses
  3. Involvement in false spiritual practices
  4. Making vows or covenants knowingly or unknowingly
  5. Speaking negative words over yourself or others

Even when we don't remember these things, the enemy may still bring them up before the court of Heaven as evidence. That’s why it’s important to enter the Courtroom of Heaven with humility and ask for mercy.

Here are steps to help you make use of the Courtroom of Heaven when praying:

  1. Come with reverence. Speak to God as the Judge of all. Acknowledge His authority.
  2. Invite Jesus Christ as your Advocate. He speaks on your behalf.
  3. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. He guides and shows you the truth.
  4. Confess your sins and those of your ancestors. This removes any legal right the enemy may be using.
  5. Renounce any evil covenants or words spoken.
  6. Ask the blood of Jesus to cleanse all evidence the enemy is using.
  7. Ask for judgment against the accuser. Ask the Judge to silence the enemy.
  8. Request for justice, restoration, and release of your blessings.
  9. Thank God for the verdict and walk in faith.


Sample Prayers for the Courtroom of Heaven

1. Approach the Judge

"Righteous Judge of Heaven, I come before Your holy courtroom. You are holy, faithful, and just. I acknowledge Your authority and I ask to be heard in Your court today."

2. Invite Jesus as Advocate

"Lord Jesus, my Savior and Advocate, stand with me. Speak on my behalf with Your blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel."

3. Confess and Repent

"I repent for every sin I have committed knowingly or unknowingly. I repent for the sins of my bloodline and any covenants made by my ancestors that give the enemy legal ground. Forgive me, O Lord."

4. Cancel Legal Rights

"I renounce every agreement, curse, or evil altar speaking against my life. I break every soul tie, word curse, or evil covenant with the blood of Jesus."

5. Ask for the Blood of Jesus to Cleanse

"Let the blood of Jesus cleanse every evidence and accusation being used against me. I silence the voice of the accuser in Jesus’ name."

6. Request Judgment Against the Enemy

"Righteous Judge, I request judgment against the enemy who accuses me. Let every evil voice be silenced now. Let Your gavel fall in my favor."

7. Ask for Restoration

"I ask for restoration of every blessing, opportunity, favor, and destiny that was stolen or delayed. Let Your justice be established in my life."

8. Thank and Seal the Prayer

"I thank You, Righteous Judge, for hearing my case. I receive the victory by faith. Let the record in Heaven show that I am cleansed, justified, and set free. In Jesus’ name. Amen."

Final Thoughts

Praying in the Courtroom of Heaven is not about long emotional prayers, but presenting your case in humility and truth. When we use this spiritual principle properly, we stop fighting in the flesh and begin to win in the spirit. God is a good Judge, and when the case is settled in Heaven, victory will manifest on Earth.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...

Warning from God: Take your calling very seriously!!!

Imagine the consequences if Jesus Christ had not embraced the mission on earth that he was given by the father (John 6:38). Imagine what could have happened to millions of souls. Consider what could have happened to the Israelites if Moses had never taken his calling seriously when God called him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 3:10).  God has invested something in you, and it takes you to pray and discover what he has invested in you. Some of you God gave you the anointing of healing, but you aren’t even aware. Millions of souls are lost out there, and this situation requires you and me to take our calling very seriously. So many people are dying in hospitals from cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, while you are ignoring doing the will of the father, and you expect things to go well with you. Certainly, not everyone is destined for the same path, as God has assigned us various missions and duties. The key here is to discover your true identity. When you don't take ...
