Greetings precious children of God and all reading who are not children of God. If you are not a child of God but of Satan change Kingdoms right now.
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Welcome to the Kingdom of God! Now, welcome back to the Bible study of this wonderful Book of Isaiah. The featured picture today is of a gaggle, skein, or flock of ducks on a small island in the midst of the water. Such a beautiful picture. I am not sure from whom I got this but it was either Marilyn Stevens or Joe Getchell Jr both of whom take wonderful pictures. Thank you.
The world is a mess, our nation is in a mess, in sharp decline, and it is not the world’s fault, it is the fault of a compromised, complacent, lazy, apathetic Church. Much of the Church is praying for God to fix the problems in the earth or get us out of here before it gets worse. Hate to be the one to tell you dear ones, not going to happen independent of our repentance and obedience. God has given His people authority in the earth but for the most part we are not exercising that authority therefore the part that only God can do is not activated.
The war is won, our job is to occupy what the world is now occupying illegally. First must come a repentance in the Church then to borrow the name of this Ministry we must awake, arise, and triumph for the Kingdom of God. We have the authority; God has the Power. We sing songs about God moving the mountain and He does but not because we ask Him to move it. We must command the mountain (Mark 11:23) to move in faith, motivated or powered of love, led of the Holy Spirit and then He moves it. If we leave out our part nothing happens.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text continuing to read out loud, yes, out loud, you know why.
Isaiah 51:5-8 (KJV)
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
This week like most week we have been talking about, asking, what kind of people should we be? Are we hot for God or are we in the lukewarm crowd? What happens to those kind of coasting along waiting for the Rapture or to die and go to Heaven. Are they going to Heaven? What about the servant with one talent, one pound, what about the 5 virgins with no oil, what about the Laodicea Church, and what about the ones who claim to have done wonderful things in His name?
Our text in verse eight ends with two wonderful promises (a certainty of occurring). First is that His righteousness lasts forever and second His salvation will last forever, “through all generations”. Let me leave you with something to ponder. His righteousness is forever and His salvation from generation to generation. What is He saying about salvation different than righteousness?
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow. Remember the Lord is good, He is not the author of anything bad in our lives, nothing!

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.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
