Ps. 149:9 To execute on them the written judgment-- This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!
It is time to execute the written judgment against the enemy of our souls. It is time to execute God’s written judgment against the enemy who oppresses the people in this world. We are not the ones who judge, this privilege belongs to God. But when there is a judgment from God, and this is even a written judgment, we should find out how to execute God’s written judgment. It is the honor of all His saints to execute the written judgment. When you lose your life you find THIS life, the life to be His saint.
Matt. 10:39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it
GREAT JUDGMENTS
We can learn from God how HE used GREAT JUDGMENTS when He delivered His people from slavery out of the land of Egypt. God used signs and wonders as a judgment on the oppressor. Even today God will use signs and wonders to embarrass the enemy.
Ex. 6:6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
Ex. 7:3-4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But Pharaoh will not heed you, so that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
The great judgments that God executed were against all the gods of Egypt. The battle was not against flesh and blood but God executed His judgment against the principalities, rulers of the darkness, and all the gods of Egypt. People in Egypt died because they were connected to the gods of Egypt.
Ex. 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
DESTROYING THE ENEMY’S AUTHORITY AND POWER
Before God started His great deliverance of His people He swallowed up the power and authority of the gods of Egypt. The battle began in the heavenly places and after this battle was won He started to make it on earth as it is in heaven. God first bound the strong man before He plundered the land of Egypt.
Ex. 7:11-12 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
God didn’t throw a rod to swallow up the authority and power of the enemy. God threw down the CROSS where the Lord Jesus Christ swallowed up all sin, all sickness, and all curses. The Lord Jesus Christ even swallowed up death in victory. (1Cor. 15:54-56)
The Lord Jesus Christ showed in the New Testament the same principle of dealing first with the strong man. He told the people that they first had to bind the strong man and then plunder his house. Do you have enough of the devil plundering your house? It is now time to plunder the devil’s house!
Matt. 12:28-29 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
TAKE YOUR POSITION OF GREAT SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY
We have to take our position of great spiritual authority when we want to bind the strong man because we are not fighting with flesh and blood but wrestling against the principalities, and rulers of the darkness,
Eph. 6:11-12 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
We need to put on the whole armor of God because we are in a spiritual battle. We need to understand why the spiritual darkness is wrestling with us. The spiritual darkness is fighting us because they don’t want us to know our position in Christ Jesus and our position in the heavenly places. That is why we need to put on the whole armor of God that exists out of: CHRIST!
- Belt of truth (Christ is our truth)
- Breastplate of righteousness (Christ is our righteousness)
- Gospel shoes (Christ is the Gospel)
- Shield of faith ( Christ is our faith)
- Helmet of salvation (Christ is our salvation)
- Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God (Christ is the Word) (Eph. 6:14-17)
Our weapon is to speak the Word of God! That was the weapon Christ used when He was tempted in the desert against the devil. When we put on Christ and take our position with Him in the heavenly places we can destroy the works of the devil because in Christ we are seated far above the devil.
IN CHRIST WE ARE FAR ABOVE ALL SPIRITUAL DARKNESS
Eph. 1:20-22 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
The spiritual darkness is wrestling with us because they don’t want us to know that we are in Christ, in His body, far above all principality, power, might, and dominion. We are in Christ, we are the body of Christ, and He put all things under His feet. Even when we have the lowest place in the body of Christ, the feet, the devil is still under us! (This place of authority belongs to you when you live for Christ, if you still live for yourself you will stay under the devil’s feet.)
The Word of God tells us that we are seated in Christ in the heavenly places. Christ is sitting at the right hand of God in a seat of great authority. That is the place where we are seated together in Christ.
Ehp. 2:6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Col. 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Now we understand why the spiritual darkness is wrestling and fighting us. The spiritual darkness doesn’t want us to know our position in the heavenly places and our great authority in Christ. We can execute God’s judgment with great authority and destroy the works of the devil from our position in the heavenly places at the right hand of God when we live in the name of Christ.
THE RULER OF THIS WORLD IS JUDGED
We need to know the written judgment so that we can execute the judgment with great authority. When we read the written judgment we discover that we are fighting an enemy that is made powerless and judged already.
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world; NOW the ruler of this world will be cast out.
The Holy Spirit has to convince us that the ruler of this world is judged, otherwise we can’t believe it. Our fallen minds have to be renewed by the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit to receive the revelation that our enemy is judged and made powerless.
Col. 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
The Lord Jesus Christ took away our sins so that the enemy became powerless. The Lord Jesus Christ took away the keys of Death and Hell so that we don’t have to fear death anymore. Christ died for you! Christ disarmed the principalities and powers!
HOW TO EXECUTE THE WRITTEN JUDGMENT?
Now we know our exalted position in Christ, raised together with Him and seated together in Him in the heavenly places. Now we want to execute the written judgment. TO EXECUTE THE WRITTEN JUDGMENT IS NOT DIFFICULT, BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT, YOU NEED TO EXECUTE IT! The manual to execute the written judgment is written in Psalm 149.
Ps. 149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.
We can rejoice and be extremely joyful in glory. We are standing in the victory of the Lord Jesus Christ. We can even sing and worship from our beds. This is the ultimate picture of being in His rest and staying in His rest. We will execute the written judgment from His rest!
We need to sing high praises about our God who created the heavens and earth. We need to sing high praises about our God who is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. We can speak and sing God’s written judgment as a declaration and weapon over our enemies.
Singing high praises and speaking the Word of God are the weapons given to execute judgment, vengeance, and punishment over our enemies. We can bind the spiritual dark forces by speaking and singing God’s Word. (Matt. 16:18-19) Praise is a weapon!
Ps. 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
(Matt. 21:16) (See also 2Chron. 20:21-23)
Ps. 149:6 - 8 9 To execute on them the written judgment
-- This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!
We can execute the written judgment, God’s judgment, by speaking and singing God’s Words. We can execute the written judgment with signs and wonders by casting out demons and healing the sick. The written judgment is to destroy the works of the devil. THIS HONOR HAVE ALL HIS SAINTS!
EXECUTE THE WRITTEN JUDGMENT IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT
We need to proclaim the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ and preach the gospel to all creation. We need to open our mouths, sing high praises, and speak the Word of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We should not stop even when we face persecution. Share the gospel with family, friends, and colleagues, because the spoken Word will do miracles and save the people.
Acts 4:29-31 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus." 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
SPEND TIME IN PRAYER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES BEFORE GODS THRONE
Remind God about His promises; it will honor God when we stand on His promises in faith. We can come before the throne of Grace, we can enter into the most Holy place by the blood of Jesus Christ. (Hebr. 4:16, Hebr. 10:19-21, Hebr. 12:22-24) God desires to hear and answer our prayers! When we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and pray for the advancement of His Kingdom we will see God’s outstretched hand to heal and deliver people with signs and wonders. Pray for God’s fiery judgment to come on our enemy!
Zeph. 3:15 The Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.
Deut. 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, 'Destroy!'
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
