Prayers
Praying for Favorable Court Decisions
Hi Faith-writers, I thank God for another opportunity to share HIS Word with you. I’m sorry for the long lay-off from writing. However, I’m back to continue to share more teaching on the topic of Prayer. We are going to consider the Promises in God’s Word concerning “Favorable Court Decisions.”
What this teaching is going to reveal to us is how God is in control of the Justice system. We all know that the earthly Justice system usually fails the poor and the under privileged. I can testify on several occasions that God granted me and others Favor before the courts. Let’s start by sharing a few Scriptures, then we will go into detailed testimony that will steer us in the application of prayer to witness God’s Power in the court room.
The first Promise—Proverbs 8:14-17 NKJV
God speaking through Solomon; Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength. (v.14)
By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice. (v. 15)
By me princes rule, and nobles, ALL THE JUDGES OF THE EARTH. (v. 16)
I love those who love Me (God the Father), and those who seek Me (God the Father) diligently will find Me (God the Father). (v. 17)
Here is a prophetic Word from the Holy Spirit that Solomon was inspired to pen in the Proverbs that declares God’s Divine ability over Kings, Rulers, Princes, Nobles and ALL THE JUDGES OF THE EARTH. This prophetic Word is a Biblical fact that no matter what the court system may do---God over-rides the decision making process of every Judge on the earth. To fulfill HIS Divine Purposes on the earth with HIS people (Believers in Christ).
A classic example is, Abraham and Abimelech with the issue of Sarah. Sure Abraham told a half-truth to Abimelech to save his skin from being killed, but God intervened and appeared to King Abimelech in a Dream and warned him to release Sarah and return her to Abraham. (Genesis 20:1-18 NKJV)
There are many more Biblical accounts of God changing the Hearts of Kings.
The Second Promise—Proverbs 21:1 NKJV
The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, like rivers of water; He (God) turns it wherever He wishes (v.1)
Daniel in the lion’s den story is another Biblical fact that God can turn the Kings heart around. Daniel’s enemies wanted to destroy Daniel because he was in charge of all the wise men in Babylon. So they made up some law that will trip Daniel up, because they knew Daniel Honored and Prayed to God the Father in Heaven. So they made a law prohibiting anyone to worship any other God. Well, Daniel knew the plot and continued to worship God. So they told the King and the King knew that he could not go against his new decree. So they threw Daniel in the Lion’s den. The King even prophetically spoke that God will protect Daniel. The next day, the King got up and sought Daniel and found that the Lion’s did not harm him. Then the King took those who deceived him into making the decree and threw them in the Lion’s den. (Daniel 6:1-28 NKJV)
The Third Promise—Proverbs 29:26 NKJV
Many seek the ruler’s favor, but justice for man comes from the Lord. (v. 26)
What we go through in the Court system?
The Court system usually doesn’t have all the facts upon the beginning of any case that’s presented. Only the initial charges with minimal paper work. Especially, if it was a rushed arrest, law-suit, or careless divorce proceedings. In any event, God always sees to it that we are given the Justice that HE desires to give us based on His Divine Favor. (That’s HIS Unmerited Favor!!!) So if they say, we will give him or her life—God will give us probation. It’s what HE decides, Amen!
Manuel’s Testimony before and after I became a Christian
I was serving time for crimes that I committed against other drug dealers. I was shot at several times by rival drug dealers in the 80’s. I wasn’t a Christian. So I lived by the code of silence, and other under-world rules that govern that lifestyle. I shot those drug dealers up with a UZI sub-machine gun. I also had another two shootings which I had committed. They sentence me to 6-18 years in prison. While I was going back and forth to court they indicted me again for second degree murder. I lost the trial. Now I had 25 to life plus 6-18 years, totaling 31 to life. I became a Christian. In December 28th, 1991.
In 1992, God began giving me a series of Dreams and Visions that I was out in the streets. I didn’t understand how it was possible. But in 1993, Jesus appeared to me and told me that HE was going to release me. But I must teach HIS Word. That was the condition!!! So, I was still skeptical. Then I came across these Scriptures in Proverbs 8:14-17/ 21:1/ 29:26 NKJV. These Scriptures reinforced my Faith that God was able to release from Prison. Then Jesus gave me a series of others Dreams and Visions leading me to perfect my appeal. I was granted an attorney pro-bono and in May 1st 1995, my case was heard in the court of appeals. May 10th, 1996 my case was over and I was release shortly thereafter.
These Scriptures Work for others!!!
In 1996, after my case was decided I used to pass by this Correction officer name Kip (nick name) who was a Christian, a very upbeat positive Brother in the Lord. One day, I saw him looking really depressed and said, hey Kip what’s going on? You don’t look good! He looked both ways to see if any other officer was around, and shared with me that he was going through a vicious custody battle with his wife. She was out to break him. I shared my testimony and these very same Scriptures in Proverbs about God’s Unmerited Favor in the Justice system that came to pass in my life. I told him to Pray these verses in the order that I wrote them in this article. And Pray them believing God will Grant him Favor with the Judge.
He did and a week later Kip came back with the Praise report that God turn the heart of the Judge to rule in his favor. He also won equal custody of his child. And he did not have to pay child support. It was a relieved because he had just purchased a new car, and he was so over-joyed with God’s Blessing. Kip also gave me about 10 Christian Books that helped me in my spiritual growth. This is what the Kingdom of God is all about helping one another.
After I was released from Prison (The Second Court Battle)
After I was released from Prison I had trouble obtaining all my identification. Again, God bless me to find my Social Security card and obtain my New York state ID. Then I went to the Motor Vehicle Department to obtain my learners permit. I passed the test with a 96 score, but was denied the permit due to outstanding tickets (32 Tickets). I was in prison so I was not able to pay them for several years. I had a court date and explained to the judge I was incarcerated for several years grant me a chance I have 800 dollars at hand. She looked at me and said, because you are trying to turn your life around this is what I’m going to do for you. I will have you pay for 4 tickets at the original price with no penalties. So I paid 164 dollars. Praise God!!! Hallelujah!!! I will lift the suspension so you can get your permit and license thereafter. And give you another court date to deal with the other tickets. That’s fair enough!!! Thank you Judge! I went back to deal with the other 28 tickets and they dismissed them all (GLORY TO GOD)!
If you have a court case pending and you desire God’s help Pray this Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come before you in Jesus’ mighty name. YOU said, O GOD, Counsel is YOURS, and sound wisdom; You are Understanding to my Court situation and You have Strength to do something about it. By You do Kings reign and rulers decree justice. By You O God, princes rule, and nobles, and ALL THE JUDGES OF THE EARTH. You love those who Love YOU, and those who seek You early will find You and the Favor and Mercy You have to offer. Consider my case that I have in the courts at this time. And turn the heart of the Judge to as YOU turn the rivers of water, to rule in Favor of my case. I don’t seek the Judges Favor I seek Your Favor O Lord. Because every rulers Judgment comes from You O God. I trust and Believe Your Promises found in Your Word that You will vindicate my situation In Jesus’ Mighty name I Pray, Amen. Glory Hallelujah!!!
A Final Word of Encouragement
Please don’t look at me as an evil man because of my past. I did not know God until I was serving time. That’s why I committed so many crimes against bad guys other drug dealers who also had criminal records and who tried to take me down, because I had a pretty big empire. So with that said, God who knows all things, knew I will respond to HIS Call to serve HIM with all my heart. This is why HE has anointed me so powerfully like he did with Moses and Paul who also killed people.
So instead of judging me—consider the Grace and Mercy and Unmerited Favor of God who got me out of prison to teach His Word. And I’m sharing it for free!!! It’s up to you to believe what the Word says and apply it for yourself to witness the Power of God in your life. I am truly Born-again and anointed by God, if not, I would not be able to share all these teachings I have already shared with Faith-writers. I pray that all these articles will help you become a Powerful believer in Christ Jesus. If God be for us who can be against us (Romans 8). Good night!
