Where is Justice ?
Sept 30th, 2007 4:00 am
“Where are those who will cry out for JUSTICE in the land ? Where are those who will stand up for Me against the evildoers. Where are those who will PROCLAIM MY JUSTICE as the noonday ? Where is the belief that I WILL PREVAIL against My enemies ? Where has the call gone out for the poor of the land, for the infirm, for the afflicted, for the oppressed within your gates ? Where are the mighty ones who will work justice in the face of injustice ?
Isaiah 59:8-9 NIV
8 The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.
9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
Where have the mighty gone ? They have gone astray, whoring after other gods, and bowing to mammon, so that the land is rife with injustice, and righteousness is no longer the standard of justice. There are whores in the pulpits and whores in the courts, there are whores in the governments, and many are the perversities that run rampant upon the land. But I have seen a few. I have seen a few who cry out for justice, and who proclaim My promises, and declare MY JUSTICE. I have seen there are a few who still care for the poor, and try to right prejudice, and unrighteousness, and so My hand has stayed the oppressor for a time. I am bringing forth justice through those who have been willing to pay the cost for what I am about to do.
I have seen the crying of the women alone, I have seen the men who are alone and feeling hopeless about the conditions of this nation and this world. I have seen their moaning and crying out ! I know what it is to suffer alone. I know what it is to see injustice and not be able to move My hand to do something. But there is much to answer for in this nation and many others for all the violence that is in the earth.
Isa 1:21-24 AMP
21 How the faithful city has become an [idolatrous] harlot, she who was full of justice! Uprightness and right standing with God [once] lodged in her--but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after compensation and rewards. They judge not for the fatherless nor defend them, neither does the cause of the widow come to them [for they delay or turn a deaf ear].
24 Therefore says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty one of Israel, Ah, I will appease Myself on My adversaries and avenge Myself on My enemies.
Isa 42:1-4 NIV
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; 4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."
Among the rulers are murderers, who care nothing for the sake of the people they are supposed to serve. There is injustice against My people. Children are no longer safe in their own homes. Parents are unjustly accused and unsightly things are done in hidden places and on high mountain tops. Murderous nations you are a stench in My nostrils ! And I will not hold my peace any longer. There will be justice by MY HAND, if no man will bring it, for those who are innocent. In many nations the wicked have pillaged MY people, murdered them and raped their children, yet the world and their representatives do NOTHING to stop it.
Isa 42:1-4 NIV
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. 2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. 3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; 4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."
The Lord said: “REMEMBER MY COMMISSION for MY PEOPLE:”
Isa 42:6-9, 12-16 NKJV
6 "I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, 7 To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house. 8 I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. 9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them."
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, And declare His praise in the coastlands. 13 The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies.
14 "I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once. 15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, And dry up all their vegetation; I will make the rivers coastlands, And I will dry up the pools. 16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, They shall be greatly ashamed, Who trust in carved images, Who say to the molded images, 'You are our gods.'
“ Your leaders conspire for a world government, while the leaders in the church do nothing to prepare My beloveds for the holocaust that is to come. Many have turned My sheep away from the truth, believing lies and fanciful imaginings. Spirits of fear have run rampant over this nation and many others due to injustice. So I will bring JUSTICE My way. I WILL ARISE, and I will make Myself known. I will perform justice with My own hands.
Isa 33:10-14 NKJV Impending Judgment on Zion
"Now I will rise," says the LORD; "Now I will be exalted, Now I will lift Myself up. 11 You shall conceive chaff, You shall bring forth stubble; Your breath, as fire, shall devour you. 12 And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire. 13 Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might." 14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: "Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?"
Ps 12:5 NKJV "For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise ," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."
The enemy has risen up displaying all kinds of power against My beloveds, and slaying them in the streets and in the hidden places. He has no desire to bless My people, but only to DESTROY. He is the destroyer of all that is good and holy. Think not that he means to only work signs that dazzle, but rather signs that destroy lives. Like Jannes and Jambres, he only works his signs in counterfeit power, so he cannot overtake you if you abide in ME. Deceptions have already overtaken so many that they walk further and further away from the truth. Pray that you will be kept from all delusion and have confidence that I will show you all you need to know to have discernment. To retain discernment , stay in the WORD. Eat the scroll for the days are coming when they will burn your bibles, and restrict you from reading them. Get the Word into Your heart, and I will help you recall it.
Focus Your time on the WORD, and in worship and prayer, and quietude. Meditate on My Word and take it into your heart and cherish it, for it is LIFE to your soul and it will sustain you in times to come. Even hide copies in hidden places so that when the time comes, you will still have it available. Walk in confidence in MY ABILITY to SUSTAIN YOU in every area of your life. The cross is getting heavier for many, and for others, they have learned from their lives how to walk in dependence on ME. Know that I am WITH YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING. FOCUS ON ME, and all that is good, holy and worthy of praise.”
