There are books in heaven written about the affairs of men. God wrote down in a book the destiny and Kingdom purpose for each of our lives.

Anything that has a Kingdom purpose has a book in Heaven about it. Psalm 139:16 tells us that each person has a book in Heaven - Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book, they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them (Psalm 139:16).

God ‘saw’ us in our fleshly form in the Earth, before we ever existed. He saw our days, he numbered our days just as David tells us in – Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Job 14:5 says  ⁵ A man’s days are numbered. You know the number of his months. He cannot live longer than the time You have set. 

Not just the number of them, but He saw the activities in them and what we would accomplish in our life. Our individual book is a written record of all that God planned for us and the Kingdom impact He has destined for our lives.  

When Jesus taught his disciples how to Pray – “Our Father who at in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, He knew how heavens operate. That there are already preordained works for each and every one that is born.

Every person ever born has a book written about them. The battle is to get what is in the book to manifest on the Earth.

Even Jesus had a book. Hebrews 10:5-7 tells us that Jesus had a volume of the book that He came into the Earth to fulfil.  Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— in the volume of the book it is written of me to do your will, O God.’” (Heb. 10:5-7)

Psalm 40:6-8 sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. ⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, ⁸ I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

There is a book in Heaven that recorded what Kingdom purpose Jesus would fulfil on the Earth. Jesus came with a passion and a commitment to complete what had been written in the books of Heaven about Him.

This is interesting because John 1:14 says that Jesus is the Word made flesh. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

In other words, Jesus was the Word sent out of Heaven to be born in the flesh. His physical birth allowed what was written in the book of Heaven to be made manifest in the flesh. He then spent the next thirty-three and a half years of His life fulfilling what had been written in His book.

Anything that has a Kingdom purpose has a book in Heaven about it. The books of Heaven contain the Kingdom purposes of God. I like to say that if there isn’t a book about it in Heaven, don’t waste your time on it. We should only involve ourselves in that which is important to Heaven. If it is important in Heaven, there is a book about it.

Anything God-ordained is first written in a book or scroll in Heaven. It must be sent out of Heaven and birthed into the Earth realm before it can become flesh.   (Romans 8:29-30) For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

1. He Foreknew – Ephesian 1:4 - For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.  I Peter 1:20 - NLT: "God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.

Foreknowledge speaks of that which occurred in the counsel of the Lord. In this counsel decisions were made about destinies in the Earth. This includes individuals, cities, states, businesses and all the way up to nations. There were conclusions that were arrived at concerning what part of God’s Kingdom agenda each would fulfil.

Predestined - Ephesians 1: 5 - In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

Being predestined has nothing to do with us not having a choice or a will. In fact, we can have a predestined plan for our lives and not fulfil it.

Each person born into the Earth arrived with a predestined plan concerning their life and have a book in Heaven about them. We can either choose to discover what is in the books about us or disregard it and go our own way. It is each one’s individual responsibility to discover what was predestined about them and written in the books of Heaven.

Remember that Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:9 That purpose and grace were given to them before time began. – He has saved us and called us to a holy life – not because of anything we have done but because of his purpose and grace - This means that when we find our purpose, we will also discover grace that has been apportioned to us for that purpose.  

The two stages of foreknowledge and predestination all occurred before time began. They happened in the eternal realm of God and outside the time realm.

In the spiritual realm of God, there is already established the perfect will of God. In the physical realm of God, the manifestation of the perfect will of God requires that every person seek to understand the will of God.

This is what happened to Jesus, but also to us and anything else that is ever ‘born’ into the Earth realm. So, it could be said that before we came into the Earth, we were a word written in a scroll. When we were born into the Earth, we began the process of living out our Kingdom purpose as it was written in Heaven in our book. This is why Ephesians 2:10 says that we are His workmanship.

There are not just books about individuals. There are also books about churches, apostolic networks, businesses, ministries, cities, states, regions and nations. Heaven is full of books

The Apostle John while in Heaven was given a book that he was commanded to eat. This book was about nations. Revelation 10:8-11 shows an angel with a little book that had the destinies of nations in it. “Then the voice which I heard from Heaven spoke to me again and said, “ Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.” So, I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.” (Rev. 10:8-11)

John was instructed to take the book and eat it. This book was from Heaven and was about the future and Kingdom purpose of nations. We know this because the result of John eating the book was the ability to prophesy to peoples, nations, tongues and kings. It was going to become the job of the Apostle John to prophesy out of the books what God had said about these nations. When John would prophesy from the books, it allowed court sessions to begin.

Revelation 19:10 tells us the “testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” “brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Rev. 19:10)

The word testimony means to give judicial witness. Jesus, from His position as our High Priest and Mediator, is testifying in our behalf in the courts. Notice that this testimony becomes a spirit of prophecy in our mouths. When we prophesy, we are not just speaking to the earthly realm, but we are in fact picking up and discerning the present testimony of Jesus in the courts of Heaven.

We are agreeing with and echoing the testimony of Jesus. This grants Heaven the right testimony to render verdicts in our behalf and the Kingdom purposes of God even in nations.

Any nation cannot be redeemed to its kingdom purpose until its book is secured, then opened and read into being.

The books in Heaven are absolutely central to the operation of the courts of Heaven. Again, Daniel 7:10 shows us that the court cannot operate until the books are open. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, And the books were opened (Dan. 7:10).

Now that we have received the book back, we are able to read prophetically the blueprint of God for the nation. There will need to be much more operation in the courts of Heaven, but Germany like any other nation can see its Kingdom purpose fulfilled when we dismantle the legal arguments that allow the powers of darkness to rule.

I emphasize that there is a contending for what is in the books. Whether it is on a national level or a personal level, the devil does not want what is in the books to come into reality on the Earth. This is true for anything that is written in Heaven. Whether it is nations, churches, businesses, individuals or any other thing, there will be attempts to keep what is in the books from coming into the Earth realm. Satan does not want the word made flesh on any level. Everything that is written in the books about you, nations, Kingdom purposes and God’s desires will be contested. The devil does not want what is written in the books to be born into the Earth and be made flesh. It is our job to see this accomplished.

Another very important thing we must know about contending for books to come into the Earth realm is that there are varying levels of courts in Heaven. Zechariah 3:7 shows us that the Lord promised Joshua, the High Priest, that if he walked in holiness, he would have a place to walk in the courts of Heaven. “Thus, says the Lord of hosts: ‘If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My command, then you shall also judge My house, And likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk Among these who stand here (Zech. 3:7).

Even though we are physically on Earth, in the spirit we can function in the courts of Heaven and have authority there.

God’s grace will empower me to live in a godly manner in this present age. When I appropriate His grace into my life to live in holiness, I gain authority before the courts of Heaven.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, (Titus1:11-12)
