Anyone who practices God's righteousness by repenting of their sins and being born again is considered righteous by Him. The Bible commands this person to do three important things: Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart (Psalm 32.11). Don't put off these recommendations to rejoice in the Lord, be glad in Him and shout with satisfaction. Do it every time you can or are sad!

           Practicing divine justice is a sign of success in everything you have been given to do. Your way of being before the Almighty pleases Him, so you won't be the target of the enemy's actions. If you are in need, cry out to the Father, who is good and ready to answer you. God promises us: The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles (Psalm 34.17). Don't live in Satan's hands any longer!

           Canaan, destined for the Israelites after they were taken out of captivity in Egypt, which they had to conquer, was a symbol of the true land of the biblical promises. In it, we must find ourselves as the owners of this Covenant, which began with Abraham and was completed for the better with the death of Christ. The Lord speaks about this conquest: The righteous shall inherit the earth and dwell in it forever (Psalm 37.29). Read Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 11, and praise God for regenerating you!

           It doesn't matter where you are or how you're living. The commandment that came through King David clearly states what your attitude should be. When you do this, everything that is tied up in your life will unravel, according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit: But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; yes, let them rejoice exceedingly (Psalm 68.3). You are an overcomer, and the Most High wants to see you in great celebration. Cheer up!

           We have a door through which to enter, which will take us directly before God. It is open to His righteous ones, as the Word declares: Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them and I will praise the LORD. This is the gate of the LORD, through which the righteous shall enter (Psalm 118:19,20). So don't let anything from the enemy take you away from the position prepared for you by the Most High.

            No matter how much someone suffers from being oppressed by the devil, both the righteous who have fallen into some trap of Hell and a person who needs to have their right recognized by God. The Scriptures are clear: I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted and justice for the poor. Surely the righteous shall give tanks to Your name; the upright shall dwell in Your presence (Psalm 140.12,13). Rejoice: the Lord sustains you!

           If you have fallen into transgression and feel your soul is trapped in darkness, declare like King David: Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, as when one plows and breaks up the earth. (Psalm 141.7). Then pray like this: The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous (Psalm 146.8). Do you want to renew your vow with God and get out of your prison?

           In Christ, with love,
