THE REPORT
Greetings dear and precious saints of the Most High God, and welcome back to our engaging and empowering (if you choose) study of the Bible Book of Isaiah. Please take a moment and share as widely as possible to expand our reach with the Truth. Thank you so much for sharing. You are important to this Ministry but more importantly the Kingdom of God. The featured picture today is to remind us to not only pray for those around us and as led of the Holy Spirit but to pray for those in authority in the seven mountains of our culture. We emphasize the governmental sphere of influence and that is extraordinarily important but all have an impact upon our lives and culture.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 (AMP)
1 FIRST OF all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men,
2 For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way.
3 For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior,
4 Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth.
Great darkness is present in all spheres of our culture so what does that mean. An absence of light. Darkness whether it be physical or spiritual has no choice but to flee in the face of light. We are the light of the world with Jesus gone to Heaven. Spiritual light is the Truth in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. Many believe they are speaking Truth and are lights but they are full of the traditions of men and doctrines of demons.
Matthew 6:22-23 (KJV)
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text continuing to read out loud.
Isaiah 53:1-3 (KJV)
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
We had delved into verse one when we left off last week and that is where I will pick up today. This whole chapter is Messianic text. Let’s take a look at this word “report” which is transliterated from the Hebrew to English as shemûʿâ which is a feminine noun referring to a report, news, a rumor, literally, it means what is heard, a passive participle from šāmaʿ, to hear, to understand. It refers to a report or announcement of news, a report of something according to The Complete Word Study Dictionary – Old Testament and Strong’s Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary. Who chooses if we will listen or hear to understand? We do, then the Lord will help us gain further revelation. Revelation of the Word is what produces fruit. I hope you noticed that this word “report” is feminine in gender meaning when received, believe, proven, and implemented fruit will be produced for the Kingdom of God. The report of the Kingdom when received, believed, and implements brings abundant life now and forevermore. The abundant life is not automatic, we have a part.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow. The Lord is good, never bad, and He cannot lie.

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.
