DO JUSTICE
Video link: https://youtu.be/fi3tdGhM72Y
Greetings dear saints and pre-saints and welcome back to this exciting Bible study of the Prophetic and instructive Book of Isaiah. The Lord is so good to give us a light for His path for us. He does not come and walk with us; we must choose to join Him on the path He has prepared for us.
Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for valuing this teaching enough to share.
The featured picture today is of Donna and me just before Christmas at New Vision Church of God here in San Antonio, Texas.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text for today continuing to read out loud. Yes, out loud, you know why.
Isaiah 56:1-2 (KJV)
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Can you believe it we are launching into a new chapter of Isaiah today, number fifty-six. We started this study of Isaiah in May of 2021. As we launch into these Scriptures let’s take a look at the same Scriptures in the NIV translation.
Isaiah 56:1-2 (NIV)
1 This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, the man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
So long as a person is alive, from now until the end of the Millennial reign of Christ, salvation is only a few words away. You have perhaps heard me speak many times about the seven Eden Mandates which are without end. God repeats these mandates in one fashion or another down through Scripture. It is the work of His people to rule the earth in every aspect. Yes, this includes you and me today. In Psalm 82 God chides His people whom He calls gods but sees no evidence that they are acting as righteous gods in the earth but instead evil. Let’s take a look at that for He is saying the same thing to His body, the Church today.
Psalm 82:1-8 (NIV)
1 God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the “gods”:
2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 “They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.”
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
Are we individually and corporately doing verses two, three, and four? Short answer is NO, just look around! Many say, but what can I do? We are children, sons of God, we are to operate in the fourth dimension which includes and controls the third dimension. We cannot override the freewill of other persons but we can bring the favor of God and assets to bear (unless you are enjoying the do-nothing poverty gospel) that can cause great change for good. We are as far superior to the evil spirits in the earth as Jesus is and they are under our feet, way under. When they are caused to bow and flee in the name of Jesus the darkness is removed and people can see the marvelous light of the gospel.
When will we take our positions as kings and priests in the earth occupying all of the earth taking back what the devil stole in the Garden? When will we quit playing Church? Dear ones we are now sons of God, not just in the sweet bye and bye, the assets of all the Kingdom are at our disposal.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week. Remember, we love you, God loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.

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.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
