PRAYER
Awesome
and wonderful Creator of all that there is, thank-You for gathering

You. IN Jesus we pray, AMEN
MESSAGE
Thank-You
Holy Spirit for guiding us to the Book of Isaiah on this Holy day.
Isaiah,
The
son of Amoz, and his calling from
God gives
us a wonderful prophetic
foundation
because many of the passages in this book are among the finest in all
of Bible literature.
There
are many
scholarly
opinions that the Book of Isaiah could be called the FIFTH GOSPEL
since there are more individual prophetic Messianic visions than any
other book
of our Bible.
The
majority of his God inspired Messianic visions, nearly 740 years
before the birth of Christ, have already been fulfilled with great
accuracy. There are several others yet to be revealed in the days
ahead.
Isa
43:1-13 NASB
1.
But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who
formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I
have called you by name; you are Mine!
2.
"When you pass
through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they
will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not
be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.
3.
"For I am the LORD
your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as
your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
4.
"Since you are
precious in My sight, Since you are honored and I love you, I will
give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your
life.
5.
"Do not fear, for
I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather
you from the west.
6.
"I will say to the
north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'
Bring My sons from afar And My daughters from the ends of the earth,
7.
Everyone who is called
by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed,
even whom I have made."
8.
Bring out the people
who are blind, even though they have eyes, And the deaf, even though
they have ears.
9.
All the nations have
gathered together So that the peoples may be assembled. Who among
them can declare this And proclaim to us the former things? Let them
present their witnesses that they may be justified, Or let them hear
and say, "It is true."
10.
"You are My
witnesses," declares the LORD, "And My servant whom I have
chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am
He. Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after
Me.
11.
"I, even I, am the
LORD, And there is no savior besides * Me.
12.
"It is I who have
declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among
you; So you are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "And I am
God.
13.
"Even from
eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I
act and who can reverse it?" {NASB}
As
He says in verse 15, "I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator
of Israel, your KING!" {NKJV}
With
the recent events in the middle east, the overthrow of Damascus, and
the release of Syria's long nightmare under Assad, the entire Holy
Land is in flux right now. Iran, formerly known as Persia is suddenly
looking over their shoulders as Israel's military pushes back over
the events in Gaza. Eventually, peace will come but not without
struggles. The arm of God is the conductor of these events, and
through prophesy uttered are these precious words;
How
lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who
announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces
salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Listen!
Your watchmen lift up their voices, They shout joyfully together; For
they will see with their own eyes When the LORD restores Zion.
Break
forth, shout joyfully together, You waste places of Jerusalem; For
the LORD has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.
The
LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all
the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God. {Isa
52:7-10 NASB}
Just
reading these words causes my soul and spirit to resonate in this
day, some two-thousand seven hundred years ago! Did you notice the
turn of the page as God the Father begins speaking about and as
His servant, who is yet to come. We know His name. SO do you!!
The
Lord, our God is telling all who have ears to hear that something
WONDERFUL is coming. The WORD is being passed, as we read in Isaiah
Chapter 53, verses 1 through 12; 1. Who has believed our
message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2.
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of
parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look
upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
3.
He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was
despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4.
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we
ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for
our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And
by His scourging we are healed.
6.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his
own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on
Him.
7.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent
before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.
8.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His
generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the
living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was
due?
9.
His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in
His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit
in His mouth.
10.
But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He
would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring,
He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will
prosper in His hand.
SUMMARY/APPLICATION
11.
As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be
satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will
justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities.
12.
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will
divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to
death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore
the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.
{Isa
53: 1-12 NASB}
The
last sentence is PAST TENSE, 684 years before the birth of Christ. It
means it was done the moment God spoke.
CLOSING
PRAYER
Father
God, in this season with Christmas on the immediate horizon, let us
not be blind to the smoke in the skies of the middle-east and the
Holy land. Hear our fervent prayers of divine protection of Israel,
open their eyes to see Your mighty arm moving amongst and against the
enemies of Zion. Let all victories be Your victories O' Mighty Lord,
in the name of Jesus the Christ, The Messiah, Amen and AMEN.
THE
CALL
If
you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you
have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of
sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in
my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and
I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are
the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you
were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven
and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come
into be, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from
this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If
you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom
10:9 KJV -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved. }
