The Unjust Judge !

THE UNJUST JUDGE : There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man. As we have noted, he was qualified for the devil or Satan. It certainly could not be God. The unjust judge is representative of the evil one, or Satan. The widow represents the individual believer. Jesus is showing us the power of speaking boldly. Within ourselves, we are insignificant. Without Christ Jesus, Who Is the Word and power of God ! We can do nothing; but, praise God, we are not without Him ! You should be getting the Word of God, from the pages of the Holy Bible into your mouth and then it gets into your heart. (Romans 10:8 ) When Jesus was on the Mount of temptation, he said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4). Yes, you need to be saying or praying what is written. Jesus said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. Now when Jesus says hear something, he means to pay special attention to it. Hear what Satan will say when a believer comes to him and demand boldly, "Avenge me of my adversary." As believers today we should say, "I demand my rights in Jesus name." This little woman was coming in the authority of her faith. She was representative of believers who dare to walk by faith and not by sight. The unjust judge is representative of Satan who is subject to the authority of faith--filled words. Oh yes, he loves it when you are talking doubt, and unbelief. When the Son of man returns, will He find this kind of faith on the earth--- that a believer would have to stand before the unjust one and tell him what to do ? This not only portrays the individual believer using his or her authority, but also the believer who is the Church using the name of Jesus. (Isaiah 54:4--5) says she shall not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore. For Thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name." (Ephesians 3:9--10) outlines the role the Church is to play: "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be made known by the church the manifold wisdom of God. What principalities and powers is he talking about ? The same principalities and powers mentioned in (Ephesians 6:12), "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. He is saying, For we wrestle. . . Against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. He is talking about the devil or Satan and his fallen angels, and all his evil forces. To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God. The Church which is the individual believer is going to reveal the manifold wisdom of God, showing that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, declaring His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past and bestowing on us His righteousness. The Church which is the individual believer can come forth wiring the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation, having our loins girt with the Word Of Truth and our feet shod with the gospel of peace, with the shield of faith in our hands and the sward of the Spirit in our mouths. We can come boldly before the unjust judge and say, It Is Written, "in the name of Jesus, get your hand off me, all my family, all my finances, all of God's property ! I am redeemed from the curse and delivered from the powers of darkness !
