PURGE AWAY HER SIN
Greetings dear and precious saints of God, my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, our big Brother! Welcome back to our illuminating and empowering study of the Bible Book of Isaiah. God is just so good dear ones, how can we but rejoice? Who we are and what we are in Christ Jesus just boggles the mind, at least at first, so much so that many believe and many teach a defeated gospel. That gospel is not in the Bible, neither in the Old or the New Covenant! In Christ Jesus we are far above all authority excepting that of God and the Power that is available to flow in and through us is the same Power that has created all things. That same power that raised Jesus from the dead, raised us with Him.
Ephesians 1:19-23 (KJV)
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians 2:6 (KJV)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Do you know of a better deal than this? Why are we just talking about it and not walking in it? Unbelief! There are no pity pots in the Kingdom of God, only victory parties. Let’s repent and get about the work of the Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
The beautiful picture today was taken by Pastor Randy Lindsey on a recent trip to Yellow Stone National Park. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you for the glory of God. Thank you for sharing. All who share are vital to the Kingdom. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text continuing to read out loud. Repent of rebelliousness and read out loud with ears to hear, understand, and to do.
Isaiah 27:7-11 (TLB)
7 Has God punished Israel as much as he has punished her enemies? No, for he has devastated her enemies,
8 while he has punished Israel but a little, exiling her far from her own land as though blown away in a storm from the east.
9 And why did God do it? It was to purge away her sins, to rid her of all her idol altars and her idols. They will never be worshiped again.
10 Her walled cities will be silent and empty, houses abandoned, streets grown up with grass, cows grazing through the city munching on twigs and branches.
11 My people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used to burn beneath the pots. They are a foolish nation, a witless, stupid people, for they turn away from God. Therefore, he who made them will not have pity on them or show them his mercy.
We dealt with verse seven last week however I included today to continue to give some additional context. Remember punishment came to Israel due to unbelief, they turn away from the thoughts, the Word, and the ways of God. They turned to other gods and suffered the consequences just as we do in our personal lives. Oh yes, many among us have many other gods. God does not delight in punishing us (them) anymore than we delight in punishing our natural children. We far and away prefer that they obey and live in a victorious and prosperous way in the natural and in the spiritual. Same with God, our Heavenly Father.
When we cross the boundaries, God has given us, we are then in the territory of the curse, the works of evil, of the devils. The devils come only to steal, kill, and destroy. I don’t know about you but I am far more taken with the blessing than the curse. Unfortunately, many teach that we are predestined to live in the curse and somehow that brings glory to God. We don’t understand what God is doing but in the end it will all work for our good and His glory. That is a truck load of you know what. God isn’t doing anything evil; the devil is trying to kill you because you have one or more doors wide open to him. When the curse is operating in our lives, we have given place to the devil, period. Let us repent and God will purge away our sin just as He did each time Israel repented.
Lord willing, I will return tomorrow, picking up right here.
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.
