From Consumer to Son: Navigating the Spirit Realm Through Legal Alignment

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Am I walking with God as a friend or just a consumer? The way we relate to God often determines how we experience His Kingdom. If your prayers focus mainly on "I, me, and myself," you may still be in the consumer stage. But God is calling us higher—to walk with Him not just as seekers of blessing, but as sons, friends, and partners in His Kingdom.

1. Are You Walking with God as a Friend or a Consumer?

A consumer sees God as a provider only, focusing on personal needs and breakthroughs. A friend submits to God's heart, values intimacy, and carries His burdens. A disciple is someone who enrolls under Christ's authority, acknowledging His rule and allowing Him to command their steps.

Key Sign: If your prayer life is self-centered, it might be time to re-evaluate your relationship posture with God.

2. How Do You Migrate from Consumer to Friend to Son?

This journey requires intentional discipleship:

  • Recognizing God as King

  • Submitting to His commands

  • Allowing Him to lead

As you grow in obedience, you become a friend of God like Abraham (James 2:23). The ultimate goal is sonship (Romans 8:14), where you represent God as Jesus did—walking in divine authority and trust.

3. Understanding the Spirit Realm: The Realm of Justice

The spirit realm is not governed by emotions, but by legal frameworks: justice, judgment, and covenant.

Many believers remain bound not for lack of anointing or faith, but because they don't understand the court of heaven.

Example: Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:8–12) shows God holding a courtroom session. Abel's blood testifies, and Cain is cross-examined. This is the spiritual courtroom in action.

There are witnesses in this court:

  • Eye witnesses

  • Expert witnesses

  • Blood as a witness (Hebrews 12:24)

4. Scripture References to the Courtroom Dimension

  • Genesis 4:8–12: Abel's blood cries out; God acts as Judge

  • Isaiah 49:24–25: A legal battle over captives is described

  • Luke 13:10–16: A woman is bound by Satan despite being a covenant daughter

  • 2 Corinthians 5:17: In Christ, we are new—but legal access must be revoked

  • Galatians 3:29: We are Abraham's heirs, yet that position must be enforced in the spirit

5. Why Some People Don't Get Healed Despite Anointing

Legal bondages can block healing, even when faith and anointing are present.

Job 1–2 shows Satan legally presenting a case against Job.

At the Cross, Jesus secured a judicial victory (Colossians 2:14–15), canceling the legal charges against us. But we must enforce that verdict.

6. Jesus: The Pattern Man and Definition of a True Son

Jesus is the express image of God (Hebrews 1), and the model of what a redeemed man can be. He remained a man in heaven to prove the potential of humanity.

Romans 8:29–30 explains we are predestined to be conformed to His image.

Jesus is both Son of God and Son of Man—bridging heaven and earth, divine and human.

7. The Shift from Apostolic to Pastoral (Acts 6)

Jesus raised apostles to govern and advance His Kingdom. But in Acts 6:1, the Church shifted to a pastoral model to handle complaints.

This deviation weakened the governing authority of the Church. Society today often reflects the spiritual governance of the Church.

8. Prayer and Courtroom Intercession

Not all battles are won on the battlefield. Some must be won in the courtroom.

Use Isaiah 43:26:

“Put Me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.”

Some issues require presenting your case before God, not just warfare or declarations.

9. Final Thoughts: Aligning with the King

If you want true victory:

  • Move from common sense to spiritual alignment

  • Understand the protocols of Heaven

  • Operate as a son, not a spiritual beggar

The Church is not a playground, but a battleground. We must contend with wisdom, legality, and intimacy.

Key Scripture Summary

  • Genesis 4:8–12 – Blood of Abel as witness

  • Isaiah 49:24–25 – Legal bondage and deliverance

  • Luke 13:16 – Daughter of Abraham bound

  • 2 Corinthians 5:17 – New creation in Christ

  • Galatians 3:29 – Heirs of Abraham

  • Hebrews 1 – Jesus as the full expression of God

  • Romans 8:29–30 – Predestined to sonship

  • Isaiah 43:26 – Courtroom intercession

Let this be a wake-up call: If you have been walking as a consumer, it's time to enroll as a disciple, walk as a friend, and stand as a son who understands Heaven's courtroom. There, you don't just ask for mercy—you petition for justice. And justice is on your side when you stand under the blood of Jesus.

Will you show up in court?

The Tribe of Benjamin: A Warrior’s Legacy and Biblical Significance

  Introduction The tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descending from Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob (Israel) and Rachel . Throughout biblical history, the Benjamites played a crucial role in warfare, leadership, and spiritual significance. Despite moments of near destruction, they remained resilient and left a lasting impact on both the Old and New Testaments. Key Characteristics of the Tribe of Benjamin A Warrior Tribe The Benjamites were known for their exceptional skill in battle. Notably, many were left-handed warriors , giving them a unique strategic advantage (Judges 20:16). Ehud , a judge of Israel, was a left-handed Benjamite who used his skill to assassinate Eglon, the Moabite king (Judges 3:15-23). Strategic Location Their land was centrally located, between Ephraim (north) and Judah (south) (Joshua 18:11-28). This position made them influential in politics, trade, and warfare. King Saul’s Tribe The first king of Israel, Saul , was a Benjami...

Five Ways to Hear God Speak to You

Hearing from God is a transformative experience that deepens one's faith and spiritual understanding. Here are five key practices supported by Scripture that can help you tune in to God's voice: 1. Remain Pure "Purity of heart leads to a clearer vision of God," as Jesus states in Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." To remain pure, one must strive to live a life free of sin and full of grace.

Knowing God and Doing Exploits: A Study on Daniel 11:32

Daniel 11:32 (KJV): "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." In a world filled with deception, compromise, and spiritual battles, Daniel 11:32 offers a powerful contrast between those who fall away and those who remain steadfast in their faith. This verse reminds us that intimately knowing God results in spiritual strength and extraordinary action . Let’s dive deeper into what this means and how we can apply it in our lives today. 1. The Context of Daniel 11:32 The book of Daniel contains both historical prophecies and end-time revelations. Daniel 11 specifically details conflicts between powerful kingdoms, particularly focusing on the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a king who severely persecuted the Jewish people. The first half of the verse ( "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries" ) speaks about those who compromis...
