2/18/18 DISCERNMENT:  WHAT IS A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE

HEARD:

A righteous judge.  To understand motives and the hearts of men.  To separate thoroughly.

1 Kings 10:9 Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to execute justice and righteousness.

Leviticus 19:15 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.

Romans 2:5-6 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart treasure up unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.

Psalm 9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

Isaiah 1:26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning: afterward you shall be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

2/16/18 WHAT UNDERSTANDING TO DISCERN JUSTICE MEANS

Tonight I was listening to Solomon’s prayer and this phrase stuck out at me:  understanding to discern justice.

1 Kings 3:9-12 Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this your so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life; neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies; but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice; 12 Behold, I have done according to your words: lo, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like unto you.

Heard:  To separate the weighty matters and bring a verdict.  Make a decision.

ANNIE’S VISIONS - THE PLACE OF WEIGHING

There are many places in God, and each one is different from the others; in fact, all things are in Him. Today He took me to a new place of great severity and cold exactitude, where the balances of God weigh, with inflexible vigor, all things from the smallest to the greatest. Although the sense of warm, flowing love is absent, it is, nevertheless, the background against which the severity of His balances operates.

Here there is tremendous exactitude and perfection of harmonic distribution where nothing, not even the smallest atom, is out of place, for all things are located in exact positions. Although nothing moves from its designated place, nevertheless, all things are greatly moved upon by the tremendous operations of these powers of great severity. In this place of weighing which is in continuous and ceaseless operation, all things are examined and weighed to utmost perfection; not one thing, no matter how small, is ever overlooked.

In this judging place which is impartial, inflexible, solemn and severe, the atmosphere is not like that of a tribunal or court of justice. It is more like that of a school principal's office, where a disobedient child is brought for correction, or a godly home, where the sole purpose of the wise discipline of an upright father is to bring a rebellious child to right paths.

When I did a search in the Words to Ponder with the Word, discern, these 2 were quickened to me.  I perceived the Lord is opening doors to teach and learn discernment in group settings.  One example of this is that I have been praying about our new Discernment forum of chewing strong meat.

TEAM MINISTRIES  4/17/03

I AM building team ministries.  As I place you on a team, in the days to come it will be vital that you stay together in discernment, in feedback and prayer support.  Give one another time to discern, for in doing so it shall keep you from being swept away by enemy traps.  Let it be your goal to stay together.  Be one even as we are one.  I shall confirm you.  You shall find rest in My arms of loving support.

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.”  (Eze 44:23 KJV)

TRAINING BEHIND THE SCENES 1/1/05

Behind the scenes, in secret training places, I have been raising many for leadership.  I grant them wisdom and understanding to discern the scenes of humanity from the side lines, regarding control, religion and agendas.  I give this wisdom to clearly candle hearts so My trainees might pray according to My will.  As they offer the things they see in loving prayer, with fearful hearts lest they too fall into the same plight, they embrace this training to apply to their own lives.  This is My preparation for their own futures, for I weave every circumstance of their lives into preparatory Words for another day.

By witnessing humanity without judging them, they are given eyes, ears and hearts to accurately discern issues which do not line up with My desires.  I reveal these things so they will learn by observing the successes as well as the failings of those who walk before them.  I give the failings they witness as loud signs for their own preparation.  In My mercy, I train them second hand so they need not learn the same lessons through the school of hard knocks.  Instead, I give them these silent lessons to listen, learn and grow, lest they fall into the same mistakes.  In the same manner, the successes they witness will foster the hope and courage that will bring them along into their own future calling.  Loved ones, listen to wisdom that is planted in your heart as you see behind the scenes.

Pr 4:11-12 NLT

I will teach you wisdom's ways and lead you in straight paths. If you live a life guided by wisdom , you won't limp or stumble as you run.
