Isaiah 58:14) (Isaiah 59: 1) - GOD'S HAND IS NOT DRAWN UP, SO HE CANNOT SAVE.
14 Then shalt thou delight in the LORD, and I will cause thee to ride upon the heights of the earth, and I will sustain thee with the inheritance of thy father Jacob; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
(Isaiah 58:14)
1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither has his ear become aggravated, that he may not hear.
(Isaiah 59: 1)
Dear brothers in Christ, it is with great joy that we are studying the word of God, together with you, in the presence of the Creator of Heaven and Earth, in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit has given us very important information regarding what it achieves. Many people want to be victorious in every area of their lives, but they do not have the right formula for victory within them. They are always seeking in other knowledge winning formulas where they can use for themselves and be victorious.
The Holy Spirit has shown us a formula of victory, it is a simple formula, but it covers all contexts. We made some messages where the theme "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will fulfill all your heart's desires."
In today's study, we are studying just about that, again, the Book of Isaiah, in chapter 58, verse 14, is written like this: "THEN YOU WILL DELETE THEM IN THE LORD, AND MAKE YOU RIDE ON THE HEIGHTS OF THE EARTH."
In the world daily, leaders emerge that promise teachings that lead to success and victory in all walks of life. They are men who study subjects related to high esteem, self knowledge, self prosperity, want to make their students victorious and successful people.
But God's word focuses on a very broad but very simple theme. It means the secret is in a little phrase: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and it will make you ride upon the heights of the earth."
As we said in the other study, and the Lord continues today, and the Lord wants us to understand that to be successful in any area of our lives, we must first have an intimate relationship with God, trust in Him, have pleasure in the presence. of God, to feel comfort in his guidance, and to make sure that the Lord will take care of every area of our lives, far better than if we take the lead in everything in our lives.
The Lord is pointing out that to ride on the heights of the earth, one only has to take pleasure in the Lord, and to elect him as our advisor. It sounds simple, but we have to completely nullify our self, nullify our own wisdom, nullify our attitude, so that we can make a switch, get out of charge of everything in our life, and put GOD in charge, in direction, in attitudes, that we must take, everything has to be based on God's direction.
Well, many people may ask: "IS GOD ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO MEET EVERYONE, TAKE DIRECTION TO LIFE OF ALL PEOPLE, LOSE TIME WITH MINIMUM THINGS, IF THEY DEDICATE TO HUMANS SO DISQUALIFIED, GOD NOT. He is looking for human qualification, God does not choose the qualified, God qualifies the chosen. "
For those who ask, is God always available, here is the answer. Here in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 59, verse 1, it is written, "Behold, the hand of the LORD is not curled, that it cannot save, nor the ear that is earful, that it cannot hear." See how God answers in a simple but wonderful way.
First, "Behold, the hand of the Lord is not shrunken." This means that the LORD is at our disposal, and his arm outstretched and his hand reaching out to us.
Second, it is willing to save when we are in danger of imminent danger.
Third, and your ear has no problem, so you can't hear. That is to say, that GOD is with his ear always attentive, and hears when we call him in adverse situations, in dangers that we have no conditions to solve, then the LORD hears promptly, with his outstretched hand reaches us immediately, and It frees you from any problems that may arise suddenly, which we are not prepared to face.
So, dear brothers, we of FREEDOM FOR CHRIST'S LOVE do not want to disqualify the leaders who teach to the people who themselves can overcome the obstacles of life. We don't want to get into merit, whether your guidelines are effective or not.
We just want to pass on to all of you that the only truth is that our protection, and the solution of all our problems is only in GOD. And it is God who raises us, it is God who places us in the highest places, in the best strategic positions, we could not win by ourselves. BUT WE WIN WITH THE POWERFUL HAND OF OUR GOD. AND BY THE POWER OF HIS LOVED SON, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND BY THE REVELATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
