The Write From The Courts Of Heaven

The Writ From The Courts Of Heaven 

II Kings 20:6, 8-11 NKJV

[6] And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” ..[8] And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord the third day?” [9] Then Isaiah said, “This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?” [10] And Hezekiah answered, “It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees.” [11] So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. 

In January, 2023, Leon du Preez explained  a concept that was popularised by Robert Henderson. Its the concept of the Courts of Heaven. This is Preez, " Most believers know we can pray to God as our Father and Friend. Most do not know that we can appeal to God as a Judge. Just as we have judges presiding over earthly judicial systems, God is the Judge in the Court of Heaven". 

   Henderson had explained in his books that he had known for a long time that he could pray to God as Father and as his Friend; however, he had missed the fact that he could also appeal to God as the Judge. Did Hezekiah tap into a New Testament secret by asking for a sign? We have heard messages that said it was tempting God because " An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. And there shall be no sign given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah"( Mat.12:38 ). For Hezekiah, it wasn't time to argue theology. It was to get real answers. 

   In Luke 18, Jesus puts prayer in a judicial system. That parable was not to show God as an unjust Judge. It was to show that we can get our verdict from the Judge of all the earth. So Hezekiah asked for the writ of release. A writ is form of written command in the name of a court or other legal authority to act, or abstain from acting, in a particular way. I needed to let you know, there's a writ for your release. It wasn't just for Hezekiah. There's a sign of the cross that your case is over. That is from the Courts of Heaven. And God is the righteous Judge. Good morning.
