Winning in the Courts of Heaven (Part 3)

Winning our battle against the devil is more than a personal struggle or victory, but “joy shall be in heaven”(Luke 15:7 KJV) by God and His angels over the repenting of one sinner. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary [Greek, antidikos, opponent in a lawsuit] the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1Peter 5:8). People cry out for justice, for it is true that God is the Judge of All the Earth (Genesis 18:25) dispensing justice. Then, why so much injustice in the world? God’s justice demands “all things be done decently and in order” (1Corinthians 14:40). Why? God refuses to do wrong to make things right. “There is no unrighteousness in Him” (Psalm 92:15). When we fail to bring our petitions into the Courts of Heaven without clearing away our adversary the devil’s objections against our case, we prevent God the Judge ruling in our favor. Satan’s objections against Jōb illustrate this. “Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life” (Job 2:4).
