In my communion time this morning with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of how people will learn what righteousness is. We most times think that righteousness will be learnt as more love is extended to the wicked and they repent of wickedness. The reality is they won’t change because you show more love.Revelation.2:20-23.

However the Lord Himself dealt with this question in Isaiah.26:9 which reads With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are on the earth,The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

It is very important to remember that our thoughts on truth are not what truth is but what the Lord says on matters are what truth is and that truth alone can make us free. So let us look at this word in Isaiah.26 and grasp what the Lord is teaching us so we can see the hand of the Lord manifested on our behalf. This is part of a song of deliverance for God’s people who will be freed.

We see the soul desiring the Lord at night and the spirit within seeking God early. In other words we see a passion in the heart of man for God day and night and then these words as an answer from the Lord which will establish His Kingdom on earth. When the judgments of God are seen on the earth people learn righteousness.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that in Hebrews.1:8 & 9 we read these words. But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” Jesus loved righteousness and hated lawlessness and established His throne on earth through righteousness because that is what His scepter of His authority is based on.

The Holy Spirit had revealed to me clearly that no kingdom of righteousness can be established unless there is an effective system of justice in place to deal with offenders that sets the example.

Certainly the Lord made clear in Psalm.89:14 that Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face. The throne of God without justice is missing the other part of its foundation and therefore will not stand which is impossible with God because God’s throne is already established in heaven so the problem will be on earth if no justice executed supports the righteousness of God.

This is why we are told that when the judgments of God are on earth people learn what righteousness is.

Jesus further emphasizes this reality in Luke.18:1-8 when He talks about His disciples praying for justice to be served on earth and concludes by saying in verse: 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.

Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Will my people be contending for justice to be seen and have the faith required to see righteousness be learned by people on earth. A demonstration of Justice that proves the reality of righteousness that men see to learn from.

Let me now share a clear portrait of this reality demonstrated through the Apostle Paul in Acts.13:6-12.

This story shows how the Proconsul learns what righteousness is when justice is executed by the apostle Paul over Elymas the sorcerer for the proconsul to see its manifestation in the immediate which enables him to make a decision to follow righteousness verses:10-12 and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11 And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

The reality of this which the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is that as the judgment of the Lord was released on earth in this instant the Proconsul learned what righteousness was by the teaching of the Lord and was no longer in two minds about truth but could now with confidence defend and walk in the truth of Jesus Paul had taught him.

May the Holy Spirit grant you the grace to walk in this reality in the Name of Jesus and begin to see the teaching of the Lord manifest on your behalf as the justice of God is executed on your behalf and people learn what righteousness is and the Kingdom of Jesus is established on the earth as the Lord has determined and you are no longer an obstacle to the will of the Lord being done on earth as in heaven in Jesus name. Amen.

As you receive this word.Remember that Jesus has already expressed all the love by coming as a man and taking our sins and has offered us the opportunity to become sons of God through receiving the truth. Non-receiving of what Jesus did to save your soul is what disqualifies men from salvation because Jesus has already made the atonement for our souls.John.3:16-21.
