Case Closed

Chances are anyone reading this blog has been to court at least once. If you're anything like me, a speeder, you've been many many times. And if you're lucky enough to have never been to court, count your blessings and tell me your secret! Anyway... going to court and standing in front of a judge is VERY intimidating. I don't care how big and bad you are in your real life, the minute you are in front of that large and looming bench, being looked down upon by that judge, your inside shake. And that's just for a speeding ticket! UGH!

Can you imagine having to go before "The Supremes"? Oh my God. The Supreme Court is the highest court in this land and they have the final say on cases here in the US. There isn't anywhere else to go after a Supreme Court hearing. That's it... case closed!

Right now, at this very moment, all of us are going through something. Aren't we always. And hopefully we have brought this something before the Lord and left it there. Chances are we went and took it back a few times, but at some point we finally finally finally left it there. I bet when we did, God sent us a word, a vision, a promise that everything was going to be alright. He gave us truth to stand on, scriptures to bury in our hearts and a praise in our mouth. He gave us what we would need to hold on to while He is working things out.

Did you know that once we gave it to God that IT WAS ALREADY DONE? It's already done right now in the spiritual realm and what we're doing is waiting for the manifestation of this thing here in this place.

But there are two little problems. 1) Sometimes we don't always remember that it is done. Sometimes we worry and fret and question and over think our situation and 2) the enemy also knows that it is already done AND the enemy knows that we're getting a little shaky. Actually that's a big problem. See the enemy's job is to take advantage of our weaknesses in every way possible. The enemy wants to feed off of our fear and anxiety and make us question even more.

So you must remember "CASE CLOSED!"

See when we took our situation to the throne, it started a court proceeding. The enemy stood as the accuser/prosecutor - his job was to lay out all of our sins, faults and failures before the court. He explained that we were sinners and should not have our problems solved. But our advocate/lawyer Jesus argued our case before the Highest Court. Jesus told the Judge that we were His children. That we believed in His life, His death and His Resurrection - and because of that we had the power to overcome any situation... in His Name. The Judge, our ever faithful God, heard both sides and declared that we were free. The gavel dropped and God declared "CASE CLOSED".

"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." John 3:18

So when the enemy tries to tell you that it's not going to happen, that you should give up, just remind him, and yourself---case closed. We have our verdict. Case closed. No fear. No anxiety. No worry. Case closed.

Just waiting patiently for it to be manifest.

And while we wait...

While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

~John Waller, "While I'm Waiting" from the movie Fireproof
