Keeping Judgment

Kathleen Maples

Psa 106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. Looking at this definition carefully will help bring this verse of Scripture very personally home to you. It will bless you, I know. H4941 Judgment (from Ps 106:3) From H8199; properly a verdict (favorable or unfavorable) pronounced judicially, especially a sentence or formal decree (human or (particularly) divine law, individual or collectively), including the act, the place, the suit, the crime, and the penalty; abstractly justice, including a particular right, or privilege (statutory or customary), or even a style: - + adversary, ceremony, charge, X crime, custom, desert, determination, discretion, disposing, due, fashion, form, to be judged, judgment, just (-ice, -ly), (manner of) law (-ful), manner, measure, (due) order, ordinance, right, sentence, usest, X worthy, + wrong. Blessed are they that keep judgment! Blessed are they that won't let the devil rob them of who they are and what has been decreed, by the Almighty God, theirs, as joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Blessed are they that reject deceit, partiality, injustice, unrighteousness and evil. That are willing to step out of their comfort zone and call sin what it is. The Lord has rendered the verdict that all those who believe and call on his name, will be saved. Those who do not believe will be condemned to hell, because their unbelief will cause them to live and die in their sins. He has pronounced judicially a sentence of eternal life to all those who are cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, who are forgiven of their sins, and appropriate that forgiveness and that blood every time the devil accuses. Or conscience. He has pronounced judicially eternity in hell with the devil and his angels to those who reject the love and truth of the Lord. It is divine law that is forever settled in Heaven and can't be changed that if we walk after the Spirit and not the flesh we will rule and reign with him forever, serving him in joy and gladness all through eternity. It is the right and privilege of every saint of God who is living by faith, submitted totally to the Father, and governed by His Word, whose eyes and heart are set on things above, not things on this earth, to have authority and power over all power of the enemy, to cast down strongholds in the mind, to loose our loved ones from the bondage of sin, through believing prayer and fasting, and appropriating the power of the Name of Jesus, his shed blood, and the Word of the Living God. By his promises we are able to partake of his Divine nature, and be seated with Christ in heavenly places. It was at the discretion of God, who judged sin, and sent his Son to pay the penalty for the crimes of mankind. This satisfied the demand for justice of the Father. Sin was judged at Calvary, on a cross, and let us ever keep judgment, the judgment the Lord made in our hearts and before our eyes. For if we do that, we will do righteousness. We will seek righteousness. We will recognize and be ever aware of the judgment declared on sin, and shun it. Let us keep the judgment of the Lord and be blessed.
