Christianity has been programmed to view judgment as a negative word, almost to the point of being a swear word that people run from at all cost. The reason for this is because we do not understand what judgment does, what is means, what purpose it holds. The other reason is because it has been used as a weapon to condemn not a decree to heal, build and establish. God is redeeming words in this day and hour, He is switching decrees, for great change is upon us and even our language is going to have to pivot to truly enter into this new age in which we are walking in.

Psalm 7 is the place where I learned what judgement is really all about. I remember the first time I prayed this psalm and the Lord showed me that judgement is to eradicate wickedness and establish righteousness. This was the first time I saw the redemptive nature of judgment and why God is called Judge of all the earth. Without a judge, without a judgment being rendered wickedness goes unchecked and runs rampant. We need God as Judge or we may as well say we don’t need Deborah in Judges 4-5; we don’t need David as King of Israel; we don’t need Jesus as Messiah; without an understanding of judgment we don’t really understand restoration, redemption, and reconciliation.

Today, I am praying Psalm 7 again and the Holy Spirit says, “We are changing the decree today from decreeing public exposure of wickedness, to public vindication of the righteous.” I was shouting, rejoicing, and decreeing Psalm 7:6-8, “Execute the judgment you have decreed against them. All the people gather around you. Return to your place on high to preside over them. You are Yahweh who judges the people. Vindicate me publicly, Yahweh, and restore my honor and integrity. Declare me innocent. Once and for all, bring to an end the evil tactics of the wicked! Establish the cause of the righteous!”

Friends, the decree has changed, we are no longer looking for or calling for public exposure of the wicked, but now we are decreeing, let us see public vindication of the righteous, in Jesus name. For this public vindication will eradicate wickedness and establish righteousness. Let’s go!!!!!
