AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH
Monday – December 5, 2022, Kislev 11, 5783
RULERS WILL RULE JUSTLY
Greeting dear and precious children of God and welcome back to our study of the wonderful Bible Book of Isaiah. What a stimulating prophetic and Messianic Book. God is so good to give us His thoughts, no guessing games, it is clear if one will but look, as to what brings Heaven to earth. One might say “oh brother Wood that’s not necessary, we are stuck with this terrible here and now”. Really? That will be a great surprise to the Author of the Bible. Let’s look at just one brief passage.
Matthew 6:9-12 (HCSB)
9 “Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, Your name be honored as holy.
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Bold added)
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Did Jesus command us to pray something we can never walk in here in the earth? Why is this not common among the children of God? It is not taught for the most part and unbelief. Please take a moment and share this teaching by every means at your disposal as widely as possible to expand our reach with the Truth. Thank you for sharing. The featured picture today is the Capital Building for the State of California to remind us to pray for all who are in authority.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 (HCSB)
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,
2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
We pray for the righteous and wicked alike and we don’t pray for the destruction of the wicked but their salvation and guidance in righteousness. We use our authority to bind (stop) the wicked plans of the unrighteous and we loose the righteous plans of all. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the Book of Isaiah continuing to read out loud.
Isaiah 32:1-5 (HCSB)
1 Indeed, a king will reign righteously, and rulers will rule justly.
2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the rain, like streams of water in a dry land and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.
3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The reckless mind will gain knowledge, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
5 A fool will no longer be called a noble, nor a scoundrel said to be important.
Just as we see a shift in language as we transition from chapter 31 to chapter 32 of Isaiah so is a shift coming to our nation. The Lord spoke to me (not an audible voice) on the 26th of June 2020 that our nation would return to its firm foundation, then on the 19th of March 2022 He said the shift is coming and it will seem sudden. Yes, we can have Heaven on earth in our sphere of authority in the midst of peril and chaos among the heathen. This will cause the kings (those of secular authority) of the earth to seek us out like the Queen of Sheba did King Solomon.
Isaiah 60:1-3 (HCSB)
1 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD shines over you.
2 For look, darkness covers the earth, and total darkness the peoples; but the LORD will shine over you, and His glory will appear over you.
3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your radiance.
Looking back at our Isaiah chapter 32 text we see that many in the Church who have had closed eyes will see again and their ears will hear again. Those who have been reckless with the Word of God will gain true knowledge and speak the Truth with clarity. Many in authority today in government and even in the Church are fools but called noble (honorable, upright), some are scoundrels (crooks, cheats) in important places. All of that is about to shift and it will seem sudden. We have seen a small part of the shift with the overturning of Roe v Wade on the 24th of June, much more is coming. This is not going to occur by some “magic wand” that God waves it will happen first in individual saints and then larger groups of saints. We must have righteous leaders but it starts with us individually focusing on the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33)!
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.
