SID: Now this is very important, at the end of this program, we have a very special extended segment. Dr. Myles will be teaching on the seven places Jesus shed his blood that destroy evil altars, and then he’s going to lead us in communion. Just log onto, soon as this program is over, just log onto SidRoth.org/7places. It is literally life changing, so don’t miss it. You are known for teaching on the courts of heaven, but you call the courts of heaven, the highest realm of prayer. Why?
FRANCIS: I call the courts of heaven the highest realm of prayer because Jesus presented the court of heaven as the last place of appeal for prayers that have not been answered. We find this in the book of Luke chapter 18, when Jesus is encouraging us not to lose heart and give in and throw in the towel. He says, do not do not lose heart. And then he begins to, he says, men ought always to pray. That’s just saying, don’t give up on prayer just because it’s not being answered. I have a final place of appeal, we live in America, in America we know that if a lower court hasn’t done you right, there’s still hope-
SID: There’s higher court.
FRANCIS: That there’s a higher court called the Supreme court where there could be a remedy of a mistake made in the lower courts. And so Jesus is saying, listen, heaven has a Supreme court.
SID: It’s the final word.
FRANCIS: Yeah. It has a final word. And so you don’t let discouragements have the final word. He said, there is a place where you can go. Then he goes into talking about a widow who needed help from an adversary. The word adversary simply means anti de course, one who is against your rights. Anti against, de course rights. He said, she went to a judge and she began to pester the judge for deliverance from the adversary. And the Bible says that she kept going.
FRANCIS: Then after the while he said, you know what, I don’t believe in God, I don’t even care about men, but I do care about my peace of mind. And this woman’s nuisance value is rising and I want to deliver myself of this, so he gave her justice and protection from the adversary. Jesus then says, what about your heavenly father? How much more shall we avenge his own elect? So Jesus is telling us that unless something has been dealt with in the court of heaven, you can’t give up on it. That’s where anything else you couldn’t get answered in prayer is answered because the judge now gets to rule on it.
SID: Now, when you’re in court, the person coming against you or suing you, if they don’t show up, the court case is dismissed. How’s this work in the heavenly court?
FRANCIS: The Lord spoke to me, he said, Francis, my children, he said to me, the devil keeps getting default judgments in the court of heaven because my people don’t show up for court. It’s so important for us to show up in the court of heaven so we can silence the accusations of the enemy, because accusations is what gives the enemy legal right to even enter the court of heaven in the first place. Just like in the world of men, unless you are accused, the court system does not begin until there’s an accusation. So that’s why it’s important for believers to show up in the court of heaven and the most, another thing, why it’s important for them to show up is because the court of heaven, unlike natural court is biased in our favor because Jesus already paid the price.
