Isaiah
61-62 John
13:35 Psalm
40:1-3
One Thing I've
written using "I" and "me" in here a lot.
That's because it's about me. But
it's also about you. -Heidi God has
given me the anointing that Isaiah had. But I'm
not doing it. When I
prayed and asked, "How can I
help them come to you?" God gave
me Ps 40: 1-3 "I
waited patiently for the Lord, He turned
to me and heard my cry, He lifted
me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set my
feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a
new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will
see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Most of
this He's already done in me. But He
wants to put a new song in my mouth a hymn of
praise to Him. I need to
be in a position to receive. So that
He can put this new song in my mouth. What
is this position? My heart
cries for those my Lord loves. My call
and my resounding Yes is to do Isaiah 61. To
preach, to bind up, to proclaim freedom, to release prisoners of darkness,
to proclaim His favor, to comfort, to bestow beauty, to give oil of
gladness, and therefore to see them transformed. I can't
do this without God's power and presence. And I
must do this. So I must have
His power and presence. I cannot
go without a demonstration of the Spirit's power or I will go with only
empty words. (I Cor 2:4) Because
Jesus said, "and these signs will accompany those who believe: In my
name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will
pick up snakes with their hands and when they drink deadly poison, it will
not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they
will get well" (Mark 16: 15-18) How
do I get His power and presence? Pray like
Moses did, "If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may
know you and continue to find favor with you." God
answered, "My Presence will
go with you and I will give you rest."
(Ex 33:12) Seek the
Lord as in Hosea 10:12. Sow for
yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of unfailing love. (this is
that unfailing love that Bob Heartly was talking about)(John 13:35) and break
up your unplowed ground, for it is time to seek the Lord. For
how long? Until
He comes. and until
He showers righteousness on you. (righteousness,
power, glory, fire, burning, this glory, this is what Jill Austen was
talking about) and until
you have been clothed with power
from on high. (Luke 24:49) How
do we seek Him? In
Lamentations, Jeremiah tells us to cry
out to the Lord from our hearts to let
our tears flow like a river day and
night to give
ourselves no rest to arise,
cry out in the night as the watches of the night begin to pour
out our hearts like water in the Presence
of the Lord to lift
up our hands to Him for the lives of our children (His children) who faint
from hunger (physical, spiritual, emotional, social, financial.....) at the
head of every street. (Lamentations
2:18-19) See the
parallel to Isaisah 62:6-7 I have
posted watchmen on your walls oh Jerusalem; they will
never be silent day or night You who
call on the Lord, give yourselves no
rest until
he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. Pray, Cry
out to him, sow, break up that unplowed ground, seek the Lord, He will put a
new song in your mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will
see and fear and put their trust in Him.
(Ps 40: 3) His Presence
will go with you and He will give you rest.
(Ex 33: 12) There
will be a demonstration of the Spirit's power
that comes with you. (I Cor 2:4)(Acts 5:15-16) This is
the only way to do Isaiah 61. Only with
the presence and power of God. We must
cry out for it. We must
seek Him. We must
pray. Remember the song "Send your power, oh Lord our God........and for our inheritance Give Us The Lost!" Prayer Jesus, You know my heart You know the Spirit God has given me The Spirit God has given you The Spirit God had given to Isaiah too. You know what makes me cry Why my tears well up inside The hurt, Lord, and the fearful pride I want them to be free I want them to be in love in Love in love with you. So many need the Father So many need your Love, your counsel, and your peace. If only I could place it in their hands. But God, I must be patient like you are, waiting "Won't you love my Son" I know it pains your heart to see them bleeding feeling so left out. God, if there's anything, any way to make the change to help someone blind to finally see "There's nothing but my God for me" You are the answer to their every need the Lover of their soul. You will fill them up security and hope forevermore. My God, help me to love in truth, to do the things you ask me to. Help me, Counselor, to know to grow the way I need to grow Give me words, you long to say I have voice, I long to pray Jesus help me to remember Father help me to surrender Spirit in me reign in power You are King my Lord forever.
ok.
this is about coming to him, fasting, seeking him, prophecy, and
His glory. Isaiah 55 Come,
all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Fasting:
is when you don't eat food, instead you seek God because He is the
read food and drink that can really satisfy you.
The physical food and drink that we normally have is merely a
shadow of the real thing. When
we are free of our bodies, in heaven, we will be satisfied, strengthened,
and sustained with Him and only Him.
Fasting is something we do now when we realize how much we need Him
and how much we need our hunger satisfied by Him, our spiritual food, and
not by physical food. Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that you do not know will hasten to you, because of the Lord you God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.
Nations:
some people are anointed for the nations. Like David. I
don't understand this yet, but they will come to Him when He endows His
people with splendor. Splendor:
His glory. We should
cry out for this splendor. Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Seek
Him: Like Hosea 10:12 it is
time to seek the Lord. Seek Him for that splendor of His glory, Seek Him for the
power, and presence of the Holy Spirit, Seek Him. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Prophecy:
is when God sends His words to you and out of your mouth says what
He wants to say, and it accomplishes what He wants it to accomplish.
Pray that you may receive Prophecy. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.
Glory:
this is the glory of God, this is what it does to the land, the
people, the land and the trees mentioned here are representing the people. See Isaiah 61: 3- They
will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the
display of his splendor. There
is again. His splendor. His glory. See
Ezekiel 47: 1-12. It talks
about the fruit trees that bear fruit because the water of the sanctuary
flows to them. Their fruit
will serve for food and their leaves for healing. Matthew 4 He tempted You to turn stones into bread. He tempted me to turn stones into bread. To find favor; to find flavor in something else untrue. He tempted me to eat my fill; to command to my attention direct in contradiction; to find un-nourishment in false bread not the true. He tempted me to try my hand at making idols from the land; to taste with falsity delicious though forbidden delicacy. Yet I refuse. | space |
