NEW THINGS
Greetings dear and precious saints of the ONLY living God and welcome back to The Three Minute Word blog and our study of the wonderful Book of Isaiah. Isn’t the Word just wonderful? It is a Book of life, the ONLY Book of Life. If we will do this Book, we will be bringing the will of God into the earth, and days of Heaven upon the earth. As far as it concerns us, we can know and do the will of God and yes, we can even have days of Heaven upon the earth. It is our choice. So, let’s think about why we are not seeing the will of God in our lives, days of Heaven upon the earth. Throw that poverty and suffer till we die theology into the ditch, it is a demonic lie. I don’t care who told you, get rid of it! We are studying Isaiah, why did hardship come to the children of God time after time? Not doing the will of God!
Challenges come to all of us, the question is this, have we killed our flesh and have we denied the prince of the world a place in us. If the religious spirits reading this with you aren’t too upset, please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. Please continue reading out loud. The featured picture today is of Church congregation to remind us to pray for all our brothers and sisters in Christ. We are also to pray for all peoples.
Ephesians 6:18 (YLT)
18 through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
1 Timothy 2:1 (YLT)
1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
It is a command to pray, intercede for each other. It may be life and death; it may be the difference of a rocky or smoother path. Intercession is vital and in tongues is best. Since we don’t know the heart of any man excepting our own, let’s not pray what we think but pray the perfect will of God in our Heavenly language. At this time let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the wonderful Book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 42:7-12 (KJV)
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Yesterday I spoke about the ninth verse and the former things. These former things in Scripture even the things we see in our own lives and the lives of those around us are for our learning. We must learn to distinguish in our thinking the difference between the opportunity for bad things to happen in our lives and bad things actually happening in our lives. It is not the plan of God at any time for bad things to happen in any of our lives, period. In order for bad things to happen we have to open the door to the enemy, give him place. You may not like this but it is the Truth. Put your nose in the Scripture and see. Perhaps you would rather think God is testing you, or He is working something out in your life for your good, or that He is teaching you something, and we don’t understand it but we will in the sweet bye and bye. That is all rubbish of demonic forces and the tradition of men. Dear ones, I realize I can be a little rough at times, but I am not nearly as rough as the wrong thoughts, words, and spirits at work in people’s lives. Let’s again look at the ninth verse of our primary text in the Message Bible.
Isaiah 42:9 (MSG)
9 Take note: The earlier predictions of judgment have been fulfilled. I’m announcing the new salvation work. Before it bursts on the scene, I’m telling you all about it.”
Two things I want to mention as I bring todays teaching to a close. One is that the phrase in the KJV version “new things” means to rebuild, repair, do fresh, or to renew. We are talking about a return to life as the Garden of Eden, life as Heaven on earth that comes with doing the Word and no other words. The second point which I will talk about more tomorrow is the word salvation in the Message Bible of verse nine.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.

Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
