Unlocking Destinies From the Courts of Heaven

Operating in the Courts of Heaven

ROBERT HENDERSON is a global, apostolic leader who operates in revelation and impartation. His teaching empowers the body of Christ to see the hidden truths of Scripture clearly and apply them for breakthrough results. Driven by a mandate to disciple nations through writing and speaking, Robert travels extensively around the globe, teaching on the apostolic, the Kingdom of God, the Seven Mountains, and most notably, the Courts of Heaven. He has been married to Mary for 40 years. They have six children and five grandchildren. Together they are enjoying life in beautiful Midlothian, TX.

A S I have sought to progress in the Courts of Heaven, I have gleaned ideas and concepts to approach this realm. This has been and continues to be one of the greatest thrills of my life. I have for many years had a heart for prayer. God has graciously taught me many things as I have endeavored to be more effective. The Courts of Heaven, however, has been without question the single most important revelation I have received. This insight has caused me to understand dimensions of the spirit I had no concept of before. This began to come into view as I saw that Jesus placed prayer in three distinct realms. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, in Luke chapter 11 and then in Luke chapter 18, Jesus revealed three dimensions from which we can pray. He spoke of approaching God as Father (see Luke 11:2). He then spoke of approaching God as Friend (see Luke 11:58). In Luke 18:18, Jesus then placed prayer in a judicial system where we must approach God as Judge. Judges, of course, rule over judicial systems and courts. There is a very real Court in heaven that we have been given the right to approach. Daniel 7:10 gives one of the clearest pictures of this spiritual dimension.

A fiery stream issued

And came forth from before Him.

A thousand thousands ministered to Him;

Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.

The court was seated,

And the books were opened.

When we examine these scriptures and others, we find what the Bible is calling The Court here is referred to in other portions of Scripture. Sometimes it is called the Throne. Still in other passages we see the activity surrounding this spiritual dimension called The Court. The bottom line is that we have been given the right, privilege, and even responsibility to function here. Hebrews 12:2224 gives us insight into this realm.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

The New Testament writer of the book of Hebrews says we have come to a place in the spirit we need to recognize. We are in a spiritual arena where the Courts of Heaven operate. We know this because we have come to God the Judge of all. In the spiritual sphere described here, we should learn to pray prayers from a judicial viewpoint. This can be very effective in the Courts of Heaven.

To understand this, we should see another scripture where the Courts of Heaven are spoken of and insight is given to their operations. Revelation 12:1011 unveils some secrets about this dimension.

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

The word accuser is the Greek word kategoros, and it means a complainant at law or in a legal system. It is speaking of one who is bringing a case against you that is legal in nature. It is not talking of someone speaking evil against you in the natural world. The Bible says it is before our God. This means these are voices and words from someone in the spirit world seeking to deny us breakthroughs and all Jesus died for us to have. This is why so often we do not see everything Jesus died for us to have becoming functionally ours. We need to know how to answer the accusers case against us and silence his demands. When we do, we will gain all that belongs to us that Jesuss sacrifice has secured. This scripture not only describes the problem and conflict, it also gives us the answer to it. We overcome any and all cases against us by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and loving not our lives unto death. These are three essentials to receiving breakthroughs for our life.

The blood of the Lamb is how we undo the cases against us. The accuser, the devil, uses our violations, sins, transgressions, and iniquities as legal elements to bring cases against us. In Hebrews 12:24, we are told we have come to the blood that speaks. This is an important scripture. We must come,

To Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

Notice that Jesuss blood is speaking better things than what Abels blood spoke. We must remember this is a reference to Cain killing Abel in Genesis 4:812. In these verses we see the blood of Abel calling out to God for judgment.

Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
