What does God's injustice look like?
Take a listen to our new podcast episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1aAaVhKFq7JnSwAOut4b3o?si=8mxpmg52RBCyKAtYnta1uw Continue reading for the notes and links discussed in the show. One neat fact is that these three work together in God's heart and we will cover these over these podcast episodes. JUSTICE ~ RIGHTEOUSNESS ~ JUDGEMENT "Bishop Garland Hunt states, "justice plus righteousness is the formula for injustice." I have to agree, that the justice we are to bring HAS to be within righteousness. Below are 8 points I think are things to take in to consideration when God invites us to partake in His justice in the earth. 1st - His judgement and justice is not REACTIVE, it is RESPONSIVE. With a focus TO BRING BACK CONNECTION. Since the beginning of creation, God has pursued all of human kind to have a relationship with Him. 2nd - Justice brings righteousness to REIGN... "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice." Proverbs 29:2 Let's read Isaiah 61:8-11
3rd - It is truth, not hearsay. He doesn't go off His own opinion to bring justice. He knows the hearts of man, we do not.
4th - God is the one who is to bring justice. We are to align with Him and His ways on any path we take for justice.
5th - HIS PURPOSE is REDEMPTION.
6th - It's about our heart in the new covenant...
7th - WHAT ABOUT THE LAW AND COMMANDMENTS....
SO HOW DO WE HAVE A PART IN BRINGING JUSTICE?
BE AWARE OF:
MANY are in need of JUSTICE. Land, all creation, past, present and future. All of creation groans for the sons and daughters of God to rise up and take their place in the world. A place of serving with love, justice, righteousness, peace and joy. This is our mandate, this is what God desires for ALL MANKIND. 1 CHRON 16:33, then the trees rejoice before the Lord because he is coming to judge the earth. Here is a prophetic word from Nate Johnson sent this month as well: "right now the Lord is CONFRONTING the demonic storms that we've experienced. This storm is a storm of justice and righteousness. It's the storm of psalms 2 - where the Lord laughs in the heavens and the thunderings of His justice and His righteousness reign down and routes the enemy. " - Nate Johnston 2023/Jan Remember the opposite of justice is oppression and the opposite of righteousness is a cry for help. If you feel the righteous anger rise up with in you for something, maybe you are to step up and do something about it... RIGHTEOUSLY. **This is not advice, only my opinion and thoughts :) ENJOY!***

Here are the points discussed in the chat. 1. GET UNDERSTANDING. If we are going to REIGN with Him, then we are to bring justice. When we are righteously giving justice, we need to start with UNDERSTANDING. Hear both sides. As with the story of Solomon with the 2 women claiming a baby as their own. He finally suggest the baby be sawed in two parts and be given to each. The true mom cried out and said "please no, just let her take the baby". He then knew who was the true momma. It's not always conventional wisdom, but ONLY God's true WISDOM that will get us through. AND with wisdom we are to GET understanding. Proverbs 4:5 2. The original intent to justice is because there is EVIL to eradicate. Revelation 12 speaks to us and brings insight on what rules evil in our world. We need to keep this at our forefront when dealing with an injustice. satan has a reign on the earth UNTIL we bring the Kingdom. Justice confronts the EVIL spurred on by our enemy, satan. 3, Definition of Justice: placing a punishment/consequence upon someone or something because of their actions or lack thereof; the quality of being just; fairness; the principle of moral rightness; decency; conformity to moral rightness in action or attitude; righteousness. The biggest challenge with JUSTICE is that the world may have a different STANDARD than we do in the Kingdom. This is where the "work" begins with us. 4. Anagram: Judgment Upon Society Til Internal Change Expressed It is an internal change of the heart that God is looking for. 5. What do many do when they ENCOUNTER an injustice? They release their own WHIP OF JUSTICE. - reaction without any self-control; abuse, control or manipulation overcoming another's personal will with harm - bringing actions upon someone, something or somewhere (geographical location) because of a person's actions or lack thereof WITHOUT the expected boundaries being communicated - giving justice wtih anger and NO HEART of EMPATHY or COMPASSION (Zechariah 7:9) The truth is, when we give out justice incorrectly, we end up creating the very injustice that we are retaliating against. 6. Justice is not there to CHANGE another person. This is coercion, control or manipulation. Justice is there to confront the evil brought forth. FINAL STATEMENT: Thank you for listening to the podcast. Take the time before our next conversation to "test" yourself in the space of JUSTICE. How do you feel with the word? Have you ever had injustice upon you? How have you handled an injustice to a loved one? Did you blame anyone? Did you steward justice well? How were your thoughts, beliefs, heart, pain, etc. of the situation you faced or watched another face? Until next time, REIGN with excellence and love! ~ Natasha Greer ~ **This is not advice, only my opinion and thoughts on every single episode it the REIGN podcast. :) ENJOY!*** |
