Understanding the Court of Supplications and Acquisitions – Part 1

Engagement #1

At the end of last year, we were introduced to a new court: the Court of Supplications and Acquisitions. That particular engagement was primarily just an introduction; however, we had been told by Gloria, a woman in white who serves as the legal advisor for our ministry, that this was an earned place. We had been granted access due to proper stewardship in other areas of the Courts of Heaven. Some may be taken aback by that seeming restriction on one of the Courts of Heaven, but it is perfectly in line with what Joshua the High Priest was told by the Lord in Zechariah 3:7:

Thus says the LORD of hosts: “If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My command, then you shall also judge My house, and likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk among these who stand here.”

The Christian walk is built around stewardship which that passage outlines. Because we had been faithful stewards of other courts and the protocols of those courts, we had been granted access to this court. We were grateful.

From this courtroom, we could see other courts as if you could access other courts (even celestial ones) from this courtroom. They were in other dimensions but were quickly accessible from this courtroom.

We watched as Gloria spoke to the judge, then to Ezekiel, the Chief Angel over LifeSpring who presented evidence and scrolls to the judge, then having heard the instructions, he turned and left. At that point, Henry, a man in white whom we had assisted in his transition to Heaven some years before, and who now assisted Gloria, came, and stood with her. The Court of Times and Seasons then came into action. We saw a wheel turning and a clock turning as well. A tapestry was rolled out in front of us. Also, an interrogatory[1] was presented to us.

We found ourselves standing on the beautiful tapestry that we knew represented many nations and represented what LifeSpring was doing with people of many nations. As we watched, more details of the courtroom came into view as if it was morphing from the original scene of one judge behind the judge’s bench to a long table with a panel of judges seated behind it. The Spirit of Wisdom was standing nearby. A counsel of three also seated in another location that included the Spirit of Knowledge, and the Spirit of Understanding, and the Spirit of the Reverential Fear of the Lord. A banner flanked the entire ceiling.

Gloria, who had been standing before the judge turned and came behind the knee wall and stood in front of us. Speaking to us she said, “This is your new position of authority. This is where you will state your cases. The enemy is not welcome here.”

Unlike some courts where the accuser might be present as we read in Job 1 and 2, he was not welcome in this courtroom, not even through what we would call a video feed.

Gloria continued with instructions to us. She said, “Be careful or be aware that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”

Supplication is the act of asking for something earnestly.

Jeremiah 36:7:

It may be that they will present their supplication before the LORD, and everyone will turn from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people."

We can define supplication as a form of prayer, a call for help from God. The term bears a spirit of reverence, which is why we noted the Spirit of The Reverential Fear of the Lord was one of the counsel seated off to the right.

Not wanting to dishonor the court, we asked Gloria, “How do we navigate this properly? We want to honor the court and we are grateful and thankful to the king for allowing us to have access to this court and be a part of this court. Is there a docket that we are to follow?”

Gloria replied, “I will carry the docket and that you are to mind your mouth because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”

Stephanie responded, “Well, I know that I have to be careful with my heart. Help us to understand the docket and the protocol to walk through this.

Gloria continued, “The court knows you're willing to do it, which is why you're here (pointing to the other side of this knee wall,”) the side where the audience sits.)

I asked what we were to witness that day and Gloria replied, “The establishment of your position in this place. There is no delay here. In what you would consider delay. There is no delay in this position.”

“Can we step ahead into the future and adjudicate here?” I asked,

Gloria replied, “I thought you would never ask. It is my specialty.”

I responded that we were willing. We were reminded of a prior engagement when the angel Neopol took us to the future and then brought us back.

Gloria stated, “That was the beginning.”

Engagement #2

As that engagement ended, a short time later we were engaging with Heaven again and found ourselves with Gloria. She seemed rather serious and stated, “This is serious stuff.”

This time we went down the hall in this complex and to the left to a courtroom. There was a magistrate.[2]

As we entered the courtroom, the magistrate had Stephanie stand behind him as if to watch the proceedings from his viewpoint. She looked on the magistrate’s bench and saw records of supplications (which are prayers made by petition).

The Magistrate remarked that we could make petitions in this Court. “This is a Court of Supplication,” he explained.

As Stephanie looked around, she saw Gloria sitting at the front of the courtroom in the first chair. Then, the Magistrate showed her a ledger.

The Magistrate explained, “These are supplications, and they are backed by the word. They are different from decrees because you can decree something without having a biblical foundation for it. Supplications have scripture to support it and to provide legal precedence.”

Explaining to Stephanie how I understood a supplication worked, I said, “For example, if you were requesting provision, you could base it on Philippians 4:19,

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

The magistrate smiled and nodded as I asked him if my surmising was correct.

The Magistrate explained, “That's correct. There is also a court of decrees but that is a different court with a different magistrate. Here you can bring your supplication backed by the word.”

He showed Stephanie pages of supplications containing a short simple paragraph of a prayer with the Biblical reference underneath it done in a ledger style. In the middle of the page, she was a line drawn down the center of it and to the right were the court’s rulings.

She noticed one that was not yet ruled upon and asked for an explanation.

The Magistrate explained, “Heaven knows ahead of time who is coming to bring these supplications. The person for this ruling hasn't brought it before the court yet, however, Heaven already knows what you are going to say before you say it and what you are going to pray before you pray it, therefore, it is already written, it just needs a ruling.”[3]

In the prior engagement, Psalm 19:14 was written above and behind the judge's bench:

“Let the words in my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable or pleasing in your sight, my strength, and my redeemer.”

The Magistrate explained, “The focus is, that you watch what you say. What you say is what you will end up with.”

Stephanie noted, “This will kind of make people get in the word a little bit more.”

The Magistrate replied, “That's the idea.”

If you have a need, find out what scripture you can use as backing for that need.

The Magistrate explained, “There are not a lot of people that gain this access. Not everybody comes this direction (to this court).”

Stephanie remarked, “I saw this scene going backwards, as if Heaven rewound this scene of and me and Gloria. We were walking backwards going out before we came in. I am getting the knowing that the way into this court is intimacy with the Father and Jesus. Not everybody comes this direction, through intimacy and through seeking out the Word.”

I asked, “Is this a stewardship-based court?”

The Magistrate replied, “Correct.”

I said, “From what I recall from the previous engagement we got here because we had done court work faithfully in other courts.”

Stephanie was reminded that she had been praying for her daughters and speaking to the Magistrate, she said, “For example, the prayer that I've had on my heart about my children where I have said that my children are my inheritance…”  

The Magistrate turned the page in the ledger and showed her the page with that petition. A ruling on it already existed – a righteous judgment on her behalf for that supplication.

I was reminded that in the prior engagement, Gloria would have the docket for what needed to be dealt with in this court. I asked if we needed to present anything before the judge. Gloria then handed the docket to Stephanie to hand to the Magistrate. Even before he opened it, he said, “You know that you're in good standing.”

Stephanie replied, “That's good to know, Magistrate.” And he has opened up the docket. On the ledger was a line item of every supplication. Not every supplication had a scripture beside it, but most of them did. We realized we had some petitions we needed to add scriptures to. When you add scripture to a petition, you are presenting a legal precedence for that petition to be answered.”

Seeking an example, it came to mind that as part of my daily governing for LifeSpring and Heaven Down Business where I state that I will not permit disunity and disharmony, I needed to add scriptures to support this prayer. Then, the petition would become a legal case as a supplication.

I then began to recite a scripture I had read that morning from 1 Corinthians 1:10 that states,

Friends, because we are surnamed and identified in the name of our master Jesus Christ, I urge you to speak with one voice. We share the same source as our reference. The idea of division is an illusion, we are a perfect match, accurately joined in the same thought and communicating the same result. (MIRROR)

As I read the passage, Stephanie watched it appear on the page. I then saw a second scripture that states, “How can two walk together unless they are agreed (Amos 3:3).

A third scripture came to mind from Matthew 18:19:

If any two of you agree is touching anything that they would ask, it would be done by Father, which is in Heaven.

We asked the Magistrate if we could have this prayer as a supplication. In beautiful calligraphy script we saw him write, “Granted.”

Stephanie noted, “When you were talking, Ron, I actually saw Jesus on the back row because there's rows of seats in this court. I saw him on the back left hand side, and we had a mental conversation between one another.”

Jesus said, “You're here because of your connection and your intimacy – our relationship.”

When the Magistrate wrote, “Granted,” Jesus said, “I second that!”

We asked if other prayers needed scripture and the Magistrate suggested, “Let's talk about sickness among the brethren.”

3 John 2 came to mind, which states, “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.”

The Magistrate stated, “It has to be submitted as a supplication with that scripture.”

Stephanie asked, “So, what would this supplication be?”

I replied, “That wholeness would basically be the children's bread for those that are associated with LifeSpring. And of course, we have a scripture about the children's bread” (Mark 7:26-29).

Stephanie said to the Magistrate, “How about adding “by his stripes we are healed.” (1 Peter 2:24).

The Magistrate exclaimed, “Granted.”

Stephanie remarked how much she liked this court and got the impression that the Magistrate had been waiting for us to come and was very happy that we came.

We could see Ezekiel standing off to the left. He said, “My role is to implement these matters of the court.”

Stephanie asked if we needed to call upon him and explained that the Magistrate would call upon him when the petitions for that time were done.

Our next instruction was to build out a framework of supplications from each of the heads of the various departments of the ministry.”

Stephanie remarked, “So, Jen for AfterCare, David for Sandhills Ecclesia, Jeremy for Heaven Down Business, Adina for Adina’s Melodies, Kevin for CourtsNet and the FTP, and the others.

We put in these supplications for those coming up underneath my leadership.

I requested that each would be filled with Wisdom, Understanding and compassion based on Proverbs 1:2-7:

² To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding,

³ To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity;

⁴ To give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion—

⁵ A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

⁶ To understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles.

⁷ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

We could see the ledger filled with supplications that had been answered.

Petitions on Appeal

The Magistrate then turned to the back of the ledger, and we saw the word “appeal.”

He explained, “Some of these are on appeal.”

Stephanie asked, “What does that mean? How do you mean they are on appeal?”

He replied, “The enemy has appealed some of them.”

Stephanie could see that the appeal was based on what the accuser kept saying regarding “the truth of the matter.”

I remarked, “For instance.”

The Magistrate asked, “What is the substance of things hoped for?”

Stephanie replied, “Faith.”

The Magistrate explained, “There are some areas where the enemy knows that there's a lack of faith regarding certain matters which has caused an appeal.”

Stephanie asked, “Is there a specific example?

He asked if she believed she was healed.

She replied, “I have been fighting for that. Is that my lack of faith? Can you give me another example?”

He responded, “Agreements.”

Stephanie saw the difference between what one person thinks should happen and what others think should happen regarding how we do things.

Stephanie stated, “But Magistrate, we can't control what other people’s thoughts are.”

He replied, “No, but you can forgive.”

Stephanie responded, “Okay. We do forgive them for not fully being in agreement with a matter.”

She continued, “It seems like it would be difficult to manage, especially as we grow regarding many people's thought processes about matters.”

The Magistrate replied, “It causes an appeal, nonetheless.”

The scripture just came up about how can any walk together unless they agree, (Amos 3:3)

Stephanie asked, “So, when we meet with Gloria, we can just ask if there are any appeals against supplications?

“Yes, you can,” he replied.

I remarked, “Okay. For those who do not agree, we do forgive, bless, and release them for operating contrary to how we operate and not agreeing with our standards.”

Stephanie asked, “May we request that this appeal be overturned by this court as supplication of unity with the scriptures that were spoken of before that were specifically about agreement…” where two or more agree upon a thing… (Matthew 18:19). We wanted that scripture added to the supplication.

In response she was the word appeal and he put a red X across it.

I asked, “At this point, does it go back to the regular listing on the ledger?”

The reply was, “Yes, it goes back over on the ledger side.”

 

Ready Access

Stephanie asked, “Regarding individuals that have relationship with Jesus, how do we tell the people, many of whom have a problem of feeling unworthy of a relationship with Jesus, about this court and this process without making them feel that they're an outcast or become offended?”

The Magistrate replied, “Jesus will meet them at the door of this Court if they truly want a relationship. The entrance is through him. He accepts them when they come.”

Stephanie remarked, “That's good to know. I was questioning about how we all step into the realms of Heaven through Jesus and this being different. Jesus is standing at the door of this Court to grant them entrance through relationship, whereas, when we come into the realms of Heaven, just because we are all accepted as sons, we are coming through Him there. But in this place, He's meeting us face to face.

Some scriptures came to mind.

Acts 1:14:

These all (the disciples) continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Philippians 4:6:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Ephesians 6:18:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

Stephanie asked if those scriptures could be placed on the front of the ledger. As she asked, the words appeared as I read those scriptures.

The Magistrate remarked, “Talk about authority!!!”

Because of our authority in Him we are a part of the process of even obtaining justice in this court.

The Magistrate added, “Wait until you get to the Lamb’s Supper and see what you get to do there.”

Nothing else was on the docket for us that day, so Gloria left us with the words, “Continue to persevere.”

We ended with a final petition from Psalm 19:14 saying, “I would like to add a supplication with that scripture, that those that draw near to LifeSpring, and especially those that contract with and work for LifeSpring and all components of LifeSpring, that the words of their mouth are acceptable to You. That no defilement comes from our mouths.”

The Magistrate replied, “Granted.”

Stephanie remarked, “Wow, that was easy. What is a scripture about discord?”

I replied, “Well, there is Proverbs 6. It talks about someone with perversion in his heart who devises evil continually. He sows discord and then the Lord deals with it. Verse 19, the false witnesses who speak lies and one who sows discord among the brethren.”

I rephrased it into a petition, “We want all discord cutoff from the ministry among those who are employees, contractors or volunteers, those who track with us, those who are students in the FTP program or those who formerly tracked with us, those who are coming to any of our conferences, those that join us online, and those who take courses, in Jesus’ name based on Proverbs 6 and Psalm 133:1:

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

The Magistrate responded, “Granted.”

Stephanie exclaimed, “This is fun! I need to learn my scriptures more. I get the first words of it and then I have to go look it up.”

The Magistrate replied, “It’s part of the fun.”

Stephanie remarked, “You sound like Ron!”
