AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH
Wednesday – January 4, 2023, Tevet 11, 5783
DEEDED IT TO THOSE DOLEFUL CREATURES
Greetings precious brothers and sisters in the Lord and welcome back to The Three Minute Word blog. The next 361 days can be the best days you or I have ever had or we can have the same o same o. What will I choose, what will you choose? Yes, it is up to you and me. The whole of the Kingdom of God is ours for the taking, we are participants in common (joint-heirs) with Christ Jesus and the Father of all things (spiritual and physical). Please take a moment to share this teaching today by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. The featured picture is winter in Maine which the friends and partners in the north are all too familiar with and a good reminder to our southern friends of why you stay right here (smile). Please continue to read out loud (you know why).
Prayer Nugget: One morning as I was praying, my eyes came upon this familiar passage.
Isaiah 5:20-23 (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
On the 19th of April 2019 the Word of the Lord came to me saying “The day of woe is at hand” as I reviewed this passage. Intuitively we know that woe is not good. Part of its definition is anguish, grief, distress, despair, and misery. The antonyms for woe are happiness and joy. Many times, our mind immediately goes to the world suffering this woe for the misery they have brought upon our country, the whole world. However, at 5:37 am on the 29th of November 2022 the Lord spoke saying: “the Church did this”. I have pointed out from Scripture many times that the Church has authority in the earth and whatever woe is present has been loosed by the Church.
Matthew 18:18 (KJV)
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Let us think on these things and make a choice to grow up. Now let’s move to our primary text in the wonderful Bible Book of Isaiah. As I mentioned yesterday there appears to be a transition here from the eternal judgment (justice) of Hell, and the temporal judgments (justice) administered in the earth.
Isaiah 34:14-17 (TLB)
14 The wild animals of the desert will mingle there with wolves and hyenas. Their howls will fill the night. There the night-monsters will scream at each other, and the demons will come there to rest.
15 There the owl will make her nest and lay her eggs; she will hatch her young and nestle them beneath her wings, and the kites will come, each one with its mate.
16 Search the book of the Lord and see all that he will do; not one detail will he miss; not one kite will be there without a mate, for the Lord has said it, and his Spirit will make it all come true.
17 He has surveyed and subdivided the land and deeded it to those doleful creatures; they shall possess it forever, from generation to generation.
As I reflect upon this passage, I can’t help but think about the nations of the middle east including Israel. In recent years Israel has blossomed however that land of old Babylon, Assyria, and Persia are quite barren. By the way, a doleful creature (person) is one who is unhappy, miserable, sad, dejected, and gloomy. Certainly, that region of the earth seems to have more than its share of demons. This area is the birthplace of Islam which is as demonic as it gets. The Arab countries came from the line of Ishmael who was born of the union between Hagar, Sarai’s maid, and Abram.
Genesis 16:12 (KJV)
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Genesis 17:20 (KJV)
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Because of Abram/Abraham there is a certain blessing upon that people in spite of the co-existent curse. We see a similar thing with Israel, God’s Covenant people who rejected Messiah and have been given a space of time for repentance than judgement (justice). We know that time of judgement as the Tribulation.
By: Dr. David R. Wood, Author, Bible Teacher, and Prophetic Voice, Lord willing, I will pick up Chapter 35 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.
