"The Justice of God will be Seen in July"
Katie Barker
On July 1st as I sat with the Lord and asked Him what was on His
heart, I had a powerful encounter and I heard Him say, "July
justice." This month, heavenly books over individuals, ministries, regions
and nations are being opened in response to the cries and intercession of the
people of God and their stand in faith. God is delivering verdicts from Heaven
to see injustices overturned. A shift will occur in the spirit for many of
God's people this month which will lead to a shift and breakthrough being seen
in the natural in the remaining months of this year.
Recompense, repayment and restoration will come to the people of
God in the coming months. This will not just be for individuals, but for
regions and nations as well.
Restoration and Recompense
I received this word at 10:10am on July 1st, and I knew the Lord was highlighting John 10:10: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." The enemy has over played his hand in the lives of many of God's people, but the justice of God will be seen for those who have continued to stand in faith and have walked in obedience, love and mercy. The Lord's heart is to see the destiny He has for individuals and nations come to pass. This means that He is bringing things into right alignment and bringing restoration and recompense for what has been lost and stolen. What the enemy meant for harm, the Lord is turning for good in the lives of His people.

"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your
throne; mercy and truth go before Your face" (Psalm 89:14 NKJV). Where the
enemy has stolen or robbed His people, He is bringing restoration and
recompense.
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame." (Joel 2:25-26 NKJV)
The Legal System of God
God has established a legal framework for His creation. It is a
framework that we all operate within, including the angels. This legal
framework is based on aspects of the character of God, specifically His justice.
In the nations of the world we have legal systems that exist to serve the
justice of the people. Heaven also has a legal system that operates in a
similar way, but is governed by the righteousness and justice of God. Therefore
to see the manifestation of the justice of God in our lives, it is helpful to
understand His legal system.
Revelation 20:12 talks of books in Heaven that record all of our
works. In Matt. 12:36 we read that every word is recorded. Psalm 33:13-15 tells
us that God sees everything and considers all of our works. The word
"works" here is "ma'aseh" in the Hebrew text and can also
be translated as "transactions". The Lord showed me a vision of a
vast trading place in Heaven, where there was so much activity occurring. These
transactions that were occurring in the trading place were later used as
evidence in the court.
I saw people of God were bringing their cases to the courts and
the Lord was releasing verdicts to see His justice established. As the verdicts
were released, a spiritual shift occurred and then situations in the natural
changed in the lives of the people of God.
Angels were released to bring to pass the verdict God had given.
The angels were released on assignment to bring alignment in the natural to the
Word of the Lord. The people had prepared themselves before entering the courts
by searching their hearts and repenting of any wrongs Holy Spirit was revealing
to them.
As God released the verdict in the courts, I saw situations in
the lives of people change. Where the enemy had stolen from the people of God,
the Lord was releasing repayment and recompense. This was in a variety of forms
including release of finances for advancement into Kingdom projects, recovery
of health, blockages removed where there had been blockages to stepping into
their divine destiny, prodigals returning and marriages restored. I saw the
Lord suddenly open up new paths and opportunities for people and launching them
into their next step in their destinies in God.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
Metamorphosis
At the start of this year, the Lord told me the year would be a
year of "metamorphosis" where complete transformation is seen. I
believe one of the main ways this will occur is through God releasing His
justice into the lives of individuals and nations.
A harvest is coming for what has been sown in prayer and
intercession for individuals, families, regions and nations. Those who have
sown in tears will reap with joy. It will be a time of double blessing and
double harvest for what has been sown. The Lord is lighting the seeds of
intercession that have been sown.
"But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
not have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for
those who love Him.'" (1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV)
Destiny and Inheritance
We are in a time of great spiritual shifting in the earth and
great acceleration as the manifestation of God's end-time plans in the earth
unfolds. The Lord is looking at the inheritance over nations and all that has
been sown into nations with regard to intercession, alignment with Biblical
principles and acts of faith and obedience. Now is the time for God's people to
partner with Him and call forth the destiny and inheritance over nations.
Destinies of nations are being reclaimed in this hour.
Injustices in nations are being
uncovered and overturned as God's carriers of justice are
partnering with Him in intercession to see Kingdom justice released. These
intercessors have great assignments from the Lord to use their authority in
Christ to unlock regions and nations in the spirit by bringing down strongholds
and taking territory for the Kingdom.
Individually the people of God who have felt they have not moved
forward into the fullness of their destiny in God will see blockages removed
and divine opportunities and open doors released. Those who have stood in faith
and walked in love, honor and mercy regardless of their situation will see the
Lord move powerfully on their behalf.
The Lord is calling people to claim their spiritual inheritance
and take their territory. The enemy has illegally occupied your territory and
the Lord is calling His people to use their authority and the truth of the Word
of God to take back their territory. Corporately, the people of God are
standing in the gap for their regions and nations and taking back territory
from the enemy and advancing the Kingdom of God.
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." (Matthew 11:12 NKJV)
"So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall,
and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land..." (Ezekiel 22:30
NKJV)
"[N]ow, will not God bring about justice for His elect who
cry out to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that
He will bring about justice for them quickly." (Luke 18:7-8 NASB)
Be encouraged, your intercession is opening
heavenly books. God is delivering verdicts from Heaven to see injustices
overturned and recompense and restoration is coming.
