The Lord's Highest Purpose is to recover His
People!
Isaiah 11:10 And it shall be in that day that the
Root of Jesse shall stand as a signal for the peoples; of Him shall the nations
inquire and seek knowledge, and His dwelling shall be glory [His rest
glorious]! 11 And in that day the Lord shall again lift up His hand a
second time to recover (acquire and deliver) the remnant of His people which is
left, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, from
Elam [in Persia], from Shinar [Babylonia], from Hamath [in Upper Syria], and
from the countries bordering on the [Mediterranean] Sea. 12 And He will
raise up a signal for the nations and will assemble the outcasts of Israel and will gather together the dispersed of
Judah
Isaiah 14:26 This is the [Lord's] purpose that is
purposed upon the whole earth [regarded as conquered and put under tribute by Assyria ]; and this is [His omnipotent] hand that is
stretched out over all the nations.
***Key Verse*** :
Isaiah 53:1 WHO HAS believed (trusted in, relied upon,
and clung to) our message [of that which was revealed to us]? And to whom has
the arm of the Lord been disclosed?
Do we believe the message we hear?
Do we see what His arm and hand is doing in our midst?
John 12:38 So that what Isaiah the prophet said was
fulfilled: Lord, who has believed our report and our message? And to whom has
the arm (the power) of the Lord been shown (unveiled and revealed)? 39
Therefore they could not believe [they were unable to believe]. For Isaiah has
also said, 40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened and benumbed their
[callous, degenerated] hearts [He has made their minds dull], to keep them from
seeing with their eyes and understanding with their hearts and minds and
repenting and turning to Me to heal them. 41 Isaiah said this because he saw
His glory and spoke of Him.
Romans 10:16 But they have not all heeded the
Gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed (had faith in) what he has
heard from us?
Romans 4:5 But to one who, not working [by the
Law], trusts (believes fully) in Him Who justifies the ungodly, his faith is
credited to him as righteousness (the standing acceptable to God).
We must fully believe.....
Luke 18:7 And will not [our just] God defend and
protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night?
Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? 8 I tell you, He will
defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man
comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?
We grow from faith to faith. We must be persistent in
our faith!
KEY WORDS: OUR PERSISTENCE - ENDURANCE - CONTINUANCE - BEING
CONSISTENT
Romans 2:7 To those who by patient persistence in
well-doing [ springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [
the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life.
Patient persistence receives the fullness of eternal
life. The full life, the richness of His Divine Presence.
Hebrews 12:1 THEREFORE THEN, since we are
surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the
Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight)
and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us,
and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the
appointed course of the race that is set before us, 2 Looking away [from all
that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith
[giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing
it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize]
that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame,
and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Just think of Him
Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against
Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that
you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in
your minds.
The Lord has waited for a people to grow into the
maturity of their faith. Now He can move them into perfection in their faith.
They will not fail, faint, or quit, they will prevail till the end.
The Battle
Psalms 34:19 Many evils confront the [consistently]
righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing
the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the
[consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).
A consistent walk will never fail, fall, stumble, or
slip. We must climb the mountain to see things from his view. We will see
things as He sees them.
Isaiah 60:21 Your people also shall all be
[uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; they shall possess the land
forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be
glorified.
The Awakening within unveils His Form
and His Union to you!
Psalm 17:15 As for me, I will continue beholding
Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I
shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form
[and having sweet communion with You].
We are awakening. We are beginning to behold Him. We
are going to be satisfied in our union with Him. We shall behold Him, we shall know
Him, we shall be made like Him.
2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace (favor and spiritual
blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the presence and
fellowship (the communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy
Spirit be with you all. Amen (so be it).
(HE IS OUR COMMON-UNION)
Proverbs 3:32 For the perverse are an abomination
[extremely disgusting and detestable] to the Lord; but His confidential
communion and secret counsel are with the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those
who are upright and in right standing with Him).
His Confidential Communion and Secret Counsels come to
those who believe and live in Union with Him!
Psalms 25:14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying
companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He
will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.
John 7:17 If any man desires to do His will (God's
pleasure), he will know (have the needed illumination to recognize, and can
tell for himself) whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking
from Myself and of My own accord and on My own authority.
His illumination within us reveals to us what is true
and what is not true.
John 15:15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any
longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But
I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that
I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have
learned from Him.]
Go and tell others that which you have heard, and that
which you have seen. This is the gospel.....
We are the "Body of Christ" upon the
earth...
We are the "Em-body-ment of Christ on the
earth...
Ephesians 4:21 Assuming that you have really heard Him
and been taught by Him, as [all] Truth is in Jesus [embodied and personified in
Him],
We are moving from awakening into abiding
We are moving from belief unto fully believing
We are moving from fellowship into communion
and then on into union with, and in Him!
Joshua 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment
and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you: to love the
Lord your God and to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and to
cling to and unite with Him and to serve Him with all your heart and soul [your
very life].
It's time to awaken and to resurrect our faith, and
then truly believe will all of our hearts, our minds, our strength, and with
all that is within us, and then we can truly love one another, just as we love
Him.
