A Spiritual Courtroom Drama!

Order in The Court!

This Week's Reflection: Faith on Trial, The Evidence of Your Blessing

Imagine for a moment that you're standing in a celestial courtroom. The case? Whether or not you truly have the blessing you've been praying for.

The accuser is trying to prove that your blessing doesn't exist. But here's the twist: you have a key piece of evidence that can win your case.

It's not something you can touch or see in the natural world, but in the spiritual realm, it's more tangible than you might think.

Key Insight: Faith as Admissible Evidence

If there were in fact a court proceeding to find out if you indeed have a blessing that you prayed for, would you have any evidence? Faith is the literal EVIDENCE of the things unseen. If there is no faith, then there is no unseen thing for that person. But their faith can be entered into evidence!

What It Means for Us: The Substance of Our Hopes

In the Spirit, what you have asked for is MADE UP OF faith. It is the literal SUBSTANCE of things hoped for. If I look at my shirt tag, it will tell me the percentage of materials, or substance, that it is composed of. The things you have prayed for are made up 100% of faith. This means that your faith isn't just a feeling or a vague hope - it's the very material from which your blessings are fashioned in the spiritual realm.

Steps to Take: Presenting Your Case

1.  Recognize Your Evidence: Understand that your faith is tangible evidence in the spiritual court.

2. Strengthen Your Case: Nurture and grow your faith through prayer, meditation on God's Word, and surrounding yourself with believers.

3. Guard Your Evidence: Just like moths can eat your clothes, doubts will eat your faith. Make sure not to let them into your mind or heart.

4.  Present Your Faith: When challenges come, don't shy away. Show forth your faith boldly.

5.  Stand Firm: Remember, your faith is all the evidence you need. Stand firm on it, even when you can't see the manifestation yet.

Scriptural Guidance: The Legal Basis

Hebrews 11:1 provides the foundational legal precedent for our case: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (KJV)

Additionally, 2 Corinthians 5:7 reminds us of the nature of our spiritual walk: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." This verse underscores that in the spiritual realm, faith is our mode of operation and our evidence.

Final Thought: You've Already Won

When you stand in faith, you're not just hoping for a favorable verdict - you're presenting irrefutable evidence in the court of heaven. Your faith is the proof that what you've asked for already exists in the spiritual realm. The accuser may try to challenge you, but with faith as your evidence, you've already won your case.

Your Challenge: Build Your Faith Portfolio

This week, I challenge you to build your "faith portfolio." Take some time each day to:

1. Write down the blessings you're believing for.

2. List the scriptures that support your faith for each blessing.

3. Journal about moments when you've seen God's faithfulness in the past.

4. Speak your faith out loud, declare what you believe God has for you.

By doing this, you're not only strengthening your own faith but also preparing your evidence for any spiritual court proceedings that may come your way. Remember, in the courtroom of heaven, your faith is all the proof you need.

Share with us how building your faith portfolio impacts your spiritual walk in the comments. Your testimony could be the evidence someone else needs to strengthen their case!
