NEVER SEPARATED FROM GOD

-

Isaiah 59:2

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.


This was the situation at the time of the prophecy in Isaiah 59. Sin hindered man from being with God but God had His way of salvation. Halleluyah.


God Himself saved man, man could never save himself.


Reading through Isaiah we wonder why they ever expected God to hear them.


What do we have today?


Free access to God. That is what Christ paid the price for and what the Holy Spirit came to accomplish.


However, the believer cuts himself off by doing anything away from faith!


Romans 14:23b

for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.


We remember that:


Hebrews 11:6

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


All acts of iniquity is a product of lack of faith. Thus we give room for fear, delusions and submit to the flesh. Selah


How are the elders justified:


Hebrews 11:2

For by it the elders obtained a good report.


By Faith!


Thus how do we expect an answer when we do not have faith? :


James 1:6-7

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.


But when we work by faith, we connect with the word in spirit, and receive it via prayer, then we speak/proclaim it by faith.


Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


We would not err as they did, for we have the Spirit.


Isaiah 59:21

As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.


And as we speak the revealed word:


Isaiah 59:19

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.


Then we see Isaiah 60. We arise and we shine.


Glory to God!


Nothing will separate us from God. Glory.


PRAYER

Loving Father, nothing will separate me from You. You have made it all possible and I bask in the glory of Your love. I live, move and have my being in You Dear Lord. There is no place for sin but all room for life. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

CHRIST ALONE

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. We really need to decide what way, what life and whose philosophy we would follow. If it is of the Lord, then let us study, get it right and then live it. This, Paul was charging in his second letter to Timothy: 2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (HOW WILL THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD US WHEN THERE IS NO WORD IN US FOR HIM TO WORK WITH? John 14:26) Too many things are speaking to us today that it seems the idols are having their way. Unless we drop the idols we cannot grab the full impact of who we are: 1John 5:21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. Who and what have we been worshipping? Is it our daily needs just like the people of the world have? Matthew 6: 24-33 Is it money, which Jesus said we would have to choo...

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...
