AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

IF YOU LEAVE GODS’ PATH
Greetings dear children of God and welcome back to our Bible Study of the Book of Isaiah. God is so wonderful, giving us His Word that we grow in faith and as we do all of the Kingdom is ours for our ministry. Our Heavenly Father has made no arrangements for poor children, He has provided for us all to be very rich in all spiritual things and we are to be very rich in all natural things. We are to be a witness to the heathen of His goodness; natural things people can see not us just getting by with a good attitude. If we don’t have money, God doesn’t have any money to work with. God is not a counterfeiter or a thief. Our ministry is in our excess. My Bible teaches prosperity from front to back, all types of prosperity, especially financial. If you are not seeing that ask the Lord to open your eyes to see and your ears to hear. Here are three examples to think upon.
Psalm 105:37 (KJV)
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Wow, rich and healthy. This is the will of God for everyone!
Acts 10:38 (KJV)
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Takes money, resources to do good.
3 John 1:2 (KJV)
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Again, it is the Lords’ will that we prosper and be healthy! Notice that our wealth and health is in direct proportion to the renewing of our mind to the Truth. Poverty mentality or teaching, teaching about having just enough are all of the devil and robs us of fulfilling our calling in the Kingdom of God.
Please take a moment to share this teachings as widely as possible by every means available to you. That is very helpful to us in the dissemination of the gospel, the Truth. Thank you for sharing.
The featured picture is a depiction of the Prophet Isaiah speaking out the Word of the Lord (Prophesying). Now, let’s delve into our primary Bible text in the wonderful Book of Isaiah continuing to read out loud.
Isaiah 30:20-23 (TLB)
20 Though he give you the bread of adversity and water of affliction, yet he will be with you to teach you—with your own eyes you will see your Teacher.
21 And if you leave God’s paths and go astray, you will hear a Voice behind you say, “No, this is the way; walk here.”
22 And you will destroy all your silver idols and gold images and cast them out like filthy things you hate to touch. “Ugh!” you’ll say to them. “Be gone!”
23 Then God will bless you with rain at planting time and with wonderful harvests and with ample pastures for your cows.
Obedience to God has abundance associated with it beyond our natural thoughts and abilities. Sin which includes unbelief is what brings and sustains the curse in anyone’s life. Righteousness is what brings and sustains the blessing in the Christians life. Please go back and read Deuteronomy 28 carefully, reflectively, obedience is nothing but blessing, no interspersed curse to teach us something, the yoke of God is easy and His assignments are light. Now, let’s look at verse twenty-one in our text. It is paramount that we walk on the path God has prepared not some alternate that the devils dangle before us so that we are drawn away of our own lusts. God, our Heavenly Father, is gracious and will warn us when we start to step foot off of His path. We must practice attentiveness to His guidance. He is always guiding, are we always listening with ears to hear and eyes to see? Let’s examine verse twenty-two of our text.
Isaiah 30:22 (TLB)
22 And you will destroy all your silver idols and gold images and cast them out like filthy things you hate to touch. “Ugh!” you’ll say to them. “Be gone!”
Are we ready and willing to do this? You may be absolutely appalled that I would suggest the possibility anyone reading this might have idols in their lives. An idol, a false god, is anyone, anything, any activity that one places ahead of God, even just once in a while. For what reason will you miss Church or your study and prayer time with the Lord?
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
