Prophets And Justice

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You.” Psalm 89:14 Years ago the Lord said to me, “Your voice matters!” At times I’ve experienced a spirit of intimidation, fear, confusion coming against my voice and what I am called to ‘herald. I now understand that this has been an opportunity for the Lord…

“But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our love as we express the truth. As Christians, we are instructed to “speak the truth in love”. Ephesians 4:15 (TPT) In pursuit of order and justice, Christianity places governments not in the place of God but in a place of accountability to God. [1] God never intended people to…

Restoring Righteousness – Part 3

The need for prophesy is precisely expressed in Proverbs 29:18. Prophets enable others to envision life more in conformity with God’s own vision of a just society. Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and His word], the people are unrestrained; But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God]. Proverbs 29:18 During the Old Testament period, God’s…

Restoring Righteousness – Part 4

Light uncovers what the darkness hides. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal…

Restoring Righteousness – Part 2

As I started writing this post this morning it took a slight turn from my original writing.  ”Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21). Many prophetic words are being released regarding the restoration of righteousness in the earth. As I mentioned in Part 1, tsedakah (tsedek) is rendered as…

Restoring Righteousness

Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. ((Acts 3:21 NIV) The relationship between God and humankind was disrupted in the Garden (Genesis 3). There were consequences related to that disruption, and steps have been taken by God to restore that relationship. With much of what…
