AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

THE LORD IS SITTING
Greetings precious saints of God, brothers and sisters in Christ, in the Kingdom of God. If you are not in Christ (born again, saved) get saved (from the wrath of God for rejecting His Son) right now and enter the Kingdom of eternal life, of light leaving eternal death (separation from God and Hell for eternity) and darkness with torment.
Romans 10:9 (NJB)
9 that if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.
If you received Jesus as Lord kicking out Satan let us know that we can rejoice with you. As we move forward, please take a moment to share these teachings as widely as possible, forsake being ashamed of the gospel. Thank you for sharing. The beautiful featured picture today was taken during a wonderful road trip last October (2020) with our friends Pastor Tom and Lori Duperry.
Before we move into our primary Isaiah text, I believe the Lord would have me once again review a separate Bible Truth. There is a myth in the Church that everything is up to God and completely controlled by God and we are just haplessly bobbing along through life. Dear ones, we always have a part and until we do our part, He will not move. He will not under any circumstances violate our freewill doing our part and His. All things are done by faith, in love, without doubt, led of the Holy Spirit. This is everywhere in Scripture but today we will review only the following passage.
James 4:6-10 (KJV)
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
This should all sound very familiar. James says He give His Grace to the humble. Being humble is our part, our responsibility, He knows the heart. We must submit to God, His Word, and resist the devil (our part) and He will flee (God’s part). When we draw near to God our mourning will be turned to joy. Again, as we humble (not God, not the devil, not other people) ourselves the Lord will lift (exalt) us up. We always have a part. We are freewill creations and God will not violate that and the devils cannot violate that. The most powerful voice in our lives is our own, not other people, not God, not the devils. The Church must understand this, it is foundational, it is perhaps the most significant thing to grasp after salvation. After all our salvation came by way of our own mouth. It was available but until we opened our mouth with a believing (faith) heart we remained unsaved. Now let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the Book of Isaiah and continue reading aloud, yes, out loud.
Isaiah 6:1-4 (KJV)
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isaiah saw the preincarnate Lord Jesus seated in Heaven. Jesus is King of kings and kings issue orders, decrees (just as we as kings under The King) sitting just as we are to do, be about the business of the Kingdom of God. The Psalmist speaks by the Holy Spirit of the Lord sitting at the right hand of the Father (this is quoted in Hebrews 1:13.
Psalm 110:1 (ESV)
1 The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”
At the ascension of Jesus forty days after His Resurrection was received into Heaven and “sat down at the right hand of God”.
Mark 16:19 (ESV)
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
However, Jesus is not always sitting, He stands to receive His own into Heaven.
Acts 7:55-56 (ESV)
55 But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Oh, what a Savior!
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.
Until our next publication, as your Bible Teacher and a Prophetic Voice in your life I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, doubt it not, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
