EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! “LORD HOW LONG”? SOON

“A shoot shall come out from the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots…And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them….for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Is. 11:1-9

Isaiah a prophet for Christ first, and second coming. “LORD HOW LONG?” Isaiah cries out before he is foretold  the destruction of Israel but he also gives HOPE, for such a time. “Look, a young woman is with child and will bear a son and will call him Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14

My friends the testimony to each of us, and where I need you to focus on today is the vision of Isaiah when he saw “the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”Isaiah 6:1-3

HOPE my friends this is the picture I want imprinted in your mind every waken moment of your day. And as Isaiah was given a mandate from God we also have a mandate to go into all the world with the message EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT, IN GOD’S WORD!!! CHRIST WILL BE HERE SOON, TO TAKE US HOME WITH HIM, BUT FIRST YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THERE IS “NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN TO MANKIND BY WHICH WE CAN RECEIVE SALVATION.” And my friends we know that is only Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

But as God’s Chosen our responsibility is to study the word of God daily while allowing self to die as we become transformed into the character of Christ through His Spirit, and as we see the purity of our savior against the wretchedness of our lives, we will then lay prostrate before the Lord, and say as Isaiah.

“Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man and woman of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” but God cleanse me each day as my Character becomes more and more like yours for I am a chosen representative chosen by the SON OF GOD to give the good news of His gospel to the world “for such a time as this.”

As we “Let our light so shine before men and women, that they may see our good works as we glorify our Father in heaven.” Matt. 5:16 So now ask yourself  Is my lamps trimmed, and full of oil. Am I determined to hold on to Christ until you have received the power of God’s Spirit.

My friends the god of this world has alternative plans for the Children of God as He tells His representatives. Just keep them occupied let them think my world is much more important then going to a place that “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,” that I got kicked out of for trying to say God’s law was unjust, and no one could keep it.

If we could have only kept His Son who I hate, from reaching Calvary, and showing that God’s law is Just, and Holy, and, based on GRACE, LOVE and MERCY, and that man can live a righteous life through faith. My friends one day soon even Satan will have to bow down to the Creator of the universe.

So today tell the world. EXTRA, EXTRA THE END IS NEAR NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT ON THE “WEDDING GARMENT OF THE LORD” as you “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross….” Heb. 12:1-2

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
