Vindicate me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me. Psalm 35:24

There is one very clear rule in the Scriptures concerning how God can judge us, and this will exempt us from any sentence, because once we have been accepted for believing in Jesus, we will never be condemned.  Many are ignorant of how much is lost when they do not give credit to God’s instructions and directions through the Word, do not interact or get more involved with the Lord and doubt that He can do what he says if we act in His Name.  Practice righteousness!

As he understood the value of divine righteousness and the Name of Jesus, David was led to write these instructions, for us to enjoy and lay hold of this blessing which nourishes our spirit. Whoever refuses to answer to any biblical direction discovers that he turned his back on what could have given him total success in life.  Nobody loses any battle if he obeys God’s directions, using and believing in the Name of Christ.

Practicing righteousness, we can achieve or accomplish in the Lord, and not only in the praise pronounced by our lips, which leads to nothing.  We must be like a judge when he pronounces his sentence.  Our position before the situations is like that of a magistrate, which knows the importance of his position.  Everyone, saved or not, expect the servants of God to act according to the Scriptures, according to the power transferred to them to represent the Most High.

Every timewe obey the Most High, we practice righteousness, because all of His commands are obeyed.  There is no way a servant to the heavenly Father expel evil and fail.  Be careful, for the devil can fill your heart full of doubt in the reply of the Most High to be in your favor because of a sin you might have committed.  If you fell into a temptation, confess this to the Lord and accept forgiveness.  Those who are in Christ have no condemnation on their record.

He who does not use the authority of the Name of Jesus for the Word to be fulfilled in his life or that of his neighbor, surely does not fear God.  The Lord was clear when He said we must pay no heed to the devil (Ephesians 4:27).  If he tries to make you sin, or places any evil in your life, do not accept this or any other trick in your life.  Enter immediately into prayer, and on feeling God’s presence, rebuke the evil and be delivered!

When we sing praises to the Lord and use His Name to halt the forces of darkness and to end suffering, we recognize and lay hold of everything He promises to be ours. If you do this now, the problem that torments you now will beat a hasty retreat.  Your firmness in faith in the Word will rid you of all anxiety.  The sons and daughters of God need not fear the threats of the enemy, and simply must destroy them using the Name that is above all names: Jesus.

Why not praise God according to His righteousness right now and sing praises in His Name?   Follow the directions from the Word of God concerning divine righteousness, and you will be able to obey and complete all His orders and commands.  This means that you love Jesus.  Then in their turn the Father and the Son will love you, and Christ will manifest Himself to you (John 14:21).  Do this right now!  Amen?

In Christ, with Love,
