We are all adept at making excuses. Excuses have power because they are rooted in some aspect of truth or reality. They often stem from spiritual accusations. When we verbalize them, they sound prophetic in the same way accusations have a prophetic tone that is spoken over us, not just by us. Excuses are the spiritual language of those under the captivity of a victim mentality (that\u2019s how they think). But I want to suggest it\u2019s deeper than what we think. We are under a covenant from a prior compromise. The accuser doesn\u2019t just throw out accusations randomly (he has a legal basis), and we don\u2019t make excuses by accident (we\u2019re stuck in unbelief and accept them). Inside the excuse, there is a thread that goes back to generational compromise that is undone in the Courts of Heaven. We don\u2019t have to accept excuses! Sprinkling in a better attitude and a positive confession doesn\u2019t address the root cause of excuses and accusations. That is accomplished in the courts of heaven.

Num. 14:6-9 \u2013 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, \u201cThe land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.  NIV

Amos 2:9 \u2013 I (the Lord) destroyed the Amorite before them, though he was tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below. NIV
