Behold, the Lord has brought forth a new word. Listen, and do not ignore. For this is the word of the Lord as He spoke to me through the writings of his prophet Isaiah. Listen, you will learn my testimony, and you will also learn as the Lord also is speaking to you.

Trust the Guide, the Lord is the Guide. God is always on track. Many of these words can be confirmed in Isaiah 40-46.

"Comfort the people, tend to the lost, the hurting, the downtrodden, the new (new Christians), the backslidden, those who do not yet have opened eyes.. Be sensitive to them. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem.. Speak tenderly to my people, the people.. You who follow Me, speak to these, the people as you are the light to them because Christ is in you.

Proclaim "your hard service has been completed, your sin has been paid for by Christ on Calvary. Your forgiveness is with me. Come and you shall be forgiven. You have received double from the Lord God. Double for your sins. It is finished."
Isaiah 40:2 Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the Lord has punished her twice over for all her sins.”
Isaiah 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Matthew 8:17And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [[a]in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.(A)
1 Peter 2:24 He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [a][as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.

A voice is calling in the desert: Prepare the way for the Lord! Prepare for Jesus' return! Make straight paths in the wilderness! Just as the Lord raised up Elijah, Moses, and John the Baptist for His wonders and to bring His people to repentance, and to precede others such as Elisha, Joshua, and Jesus, God has called many to proclaim His truth, and faithfully obey Him and bring many to repentance. Just as with John the Baptist:
They will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. They will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from birth. They will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. They will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
And as Jesus said in John 14:
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14[c] anything in My name, I will do If you ask it."

The Lord is preparing His bride in this: Ephesians 5:25 Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. "
Revelation 22:17The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need [a]of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.(A) Prepare the way for the Lord!

The obstacles in the path shall be as flat ground and the mountains as doors, the Lord's glory will be seen near and far, in undeniable ways. Valleys shall be raised up, mountains lowered, rugged ground made plain. Prepare for His great wonders and the Glory of the Lord! This shall be seen more and more and more! Yes, it shall be undeniable. All men shall see. The Lord has spoken.

Cry out to the Lord! Proclaim to the nations! Even people shall pass away, but the word of the Lord is forever and His promises remain.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.”
1 Peter 1: 22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters.[a] Love each other deeply with all your heart. 23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say,

“People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. 25 But the word of the Lord remains forever.”[c] And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

Thus says the Lord, "You who bring My Word, my Good News to My kingdom: Go to the top, speak of Him, proclaim God is here- even for you! Shout out loud from the rooftops, do not be quiet. Go up high, preach loud and bold. Do not be afraid to lift your voice, for I am with you! Say "Here is your God! The Lord comes with great power! His arm rules for Him.. Isaiah 40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him

You have been given authority! Matthew 28:18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Preach the Gospel, heal the sick, cast out devils! Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[a] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Even you who are weak, I am your strength! Isaiah 41: 10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.(A)

Joshua 1:5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
 
You who are lost come to me!!"

The Father God takes care of the flock- His sheep. He carries them close to His heart. He gathers His lambs and holds them very close!! He gently leads them, even those with young-- youth, babies, giftings from Him, even new Christians. Thus the Lord will take care of what you and what He has given you.

Who has understood the mind of the Lord? Who can instruct Him? Nobody can fully explain the Lord! His power, Glory, His way is above all!. See Job 39-40 and Isaiah 40:12-26

Now is His time! The Lord has spoken: "Behold, I will display great wonders, even in disaster I will come. I shall clean, purify, heal, deliver, provide, and lead my flock to Me. You are safe in My hands."

Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

God does not want burnt offerings. All nations before Him are nothing. Powerless. Less than nothing. Do not turn to idols and earthly things and do not turn to people. Turn to the Lord your God and you will find freedom:

Isaiah 40: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

He will even renew your mind!

James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

Psalm 51: 17 The sacrifices of God are [a] a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Isaiah 57:15 For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowlyand to revive the heart of the contrite.

His power is greater than every person, thing, nation and even greater then spirits. Greater than all troubles and circumstances.

Thus says the Lord of Hosts: "Follow Me!"

Psalm 91: 12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. 13 You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

Luke 10: 19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.

Isaiah 25:12 He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.

None are His equal!!! Not even your man-made gods! Repent! Repent! Repent! Thus says the Lord of Hosts: "Now follow Me!"

"There are many preaching lies in my name. They shall have their due reward."

Matthew 7: 15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Mark 13:21 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ[c]!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. 22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect—if that were possible. 23So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time. Matthew 4:5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
 
The Lord has spoken: "Look to Me, your Abba Father! Yahweh! Jehovah! Nothing is from Me is missing! Even the stars of the heavens which I have named! No power of the earth, no fortune teller, no astrologer, diviner, no form of witchcraft, no power is above Me! Even these must bow to Me! My power is above all! Remember my servant Moses, and my snake from his staff which devoured the snakes from the staffs of Pharoah's sorcerers! My power is above all. It is sufficient. It is final!"

Do not complain. God has not forgotten you and nothing you do, say or think is hidden from Him.

Jeremiah 29: 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

The Lord is everlasting, unchanging.

Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Proverbs 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Malachi 3: 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Isaiah 26:4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

"I created all."

Jeremiah 10:16 But the God of Israel is no idol!He is the Creator of everything that exists,including Israel, his own special possession.The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

Jeremiah 59:19 But the God of Israel is no idol!He is the Creator of everything that exists,including his people, his own special possession.The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

Ephesians 3: 14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,[a] 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

"I do not tire, nor do I grow weak. No one can comprehend the depths of my understanding." -Isaiah 40:28

"I am the source. It is I who gives strength to the weary. People may fall, even the young but:"

Isaiah 40: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

When we are weak, He is strong. Do not forget this!!

Acts 17:27 So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us. 28For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring. 29Since then we are God's offspring, we ought not to suppose that Deity (the Godhead) is like gold or silver or stone, [of the nature of] a representation by human art and imagination, or anything constructed or invented.

Thus says the Lord of Hosts: "Be silent, be still. Nations shall renew their strength. Even now you shall see a difference."

The Lord says He wants all nations to come to repentance and follow Him, and the Lord keeps His promises. His promises are not rejected! He shall even bring renewal.

The Lord is the one who brings righteousness. He controls the destiny of the nations, win or lose, weak or strong. Kings too mustbow before Him.

Romans 14:10 Why do you criticize and pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon or despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God [acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise].(A) 12 And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.

The Lord who rises one to power, is the same who brings them down to dust. Nothing will hinder the Lord. There are those who are doing things their own way, who say "be strong, you can do as you will, as you wish, you don't need God" but thus says the Lord "I, the Lord shall have my day. Even men and women must bow to me."

Zechariah 4: 6 Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to (C)Zerubbabel saying, '(D)Not by might nor by power, but by My (E)Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. 7'What are you, O great (F)mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with (G)shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'"

Thus says the Lord "I have chosen my people from the ends of the earth. Even those of my people of Jewish heritage, the decsendants of Abraham. You who decide to follow Jesus Christ my Son, are adopted into the inheritance of Abraham. I sent my Holy Spirit to you. I am with you."

John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep[d] My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. 25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said,[e] ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

Luke 19: 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." 9Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

Thus says the Lord of Hosts, "Try to prove your own power and false gods. These are nothing. You who serve yourself and those idols I despise. "

Matthew 7: 13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 8:12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matthew 13: 40 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Isaiah 41: 25 "I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes— one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads on rulers as if they were mortar, as if he were a potter treading the clay. 26 Who told of this from the beginning, so we could know, or beforehand, so we could say, 'He was right'? No one told of this, no one foretold it, no one heard any words from you. 27 I was the first to tell Zion, 'Look, here they are!' I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good tidings.

28 I look but there is no one— no one among them to give counsel, no one to give answer when I ask them.

29 See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.

Call to the Lord and He will listen!!! Praise Him all you nations! All you servants of the Lord step out of your comfort zones, your areas of comfort and serve Him!
 
Isaiah 42

The Servant of the Lord

1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him
and he will bring justice to the nations.

2 He will not shout or cry out,
or raise his voice in the streets.

3 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
In his law the islands will put their hope."

5 This is what God the LORD says—
he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:

6 "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,

7 to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

8 "I am the LORD; that is my name!
I will not give my glory to another
or my praise to idols.

9 See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you."

Song of Praise to the Lord

10Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them.

11 Let the desert and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.

12 Let them give glory to the LORD
and proclaim his praise in the islands.

13 The LORD will march out like a mighty man,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.

14 "For a long time I have kept silent,
I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.

15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up the pools.

16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.

17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, 'You are our gods,'
will be turned back in utter shame.

Israel Blind and Deaf

18 "Hear, you deaf;
look, you blind, and see!

19 Who is blind but my servant,
and deaf like the messenger I send?
Who is blind like the one committed to me,
blind like the servant of the LORD ?

20 You have seen many things, but have paid no attention;
your ears are open, but you hear nothing."

21 It pleased the LORD
for the sake of his righteousness
to make his law great and glorious.

22 But this is a people plundered and looted,
all of them trapped in pits
or hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, "Send them back."

23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention in time to come?

24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the LORD,
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow his ways;
they did not obey his law.

25 So he poured out on them his burning anger,
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand;
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.

I tell you the truth, in all this the Lord has shown me even in dreams not to depend on people the most, even family. For God is our shelter, our provider, and He is the one we are here to serve. This does not mean dishonor parents or leaders. No! It means to put the Lord above all else, it is the same as "Trust the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding, in all ways acknolwedge Him"

Matthew 6:33 says "Seek first the kingdom of God, and all His righteousness, and all these things (desires of your heart) shall be added unto you."

The Lord has shown me that Satan throws many ideas, he even suggests that various people I do not know are enemies. Surely there are unknown enemies, but Satan would have us looking for enemies where there are none. There are none that can oppose us when we are in the Lord's will and ways, when we obey the Lord with all our heart. As we trust the Lord and follow Him, and keep proclaiming His Word and promises, and we surrender our fear to the Lord and only contain the fear of the Lord, we shall realize continuously that the Lord is with us!

The other night the Lord told a brother in Christ by His Holy Spirit to command the healing and straightening for my spine to be aligned properly, he prayed for me to gain weight, and for God to add muscle. That night my shoulder muscle was pulsating a lot after that.

Wednesday morning when I first woke up I don't remember much but i was tired so i went back to sleep. when i woke up, there was a rainbow on my ceiling. I do not remember ever seeing light reflection/refraction of a rainbow on the ceiling so it reminded me of God keeping His promises. he shows Noah a rainbow about promise not to flood the earth the same as He did in Genesis, but this rainbow matched with many verses he has shown me reminds me God is unchanging and always keeps His promises.

Then Wednesday morning I read this book about Joshua I found on my book shelf when God reminded me of it during prayer. Lately God keeps talking about Moses and Joshua, son of Nun. Joshua was told he would have Moses' role since Moses died. I thought when I read Joshua 1 when God gave it to me several weeks ago maybe i have role of Beth.. Beth was told that God will use her to bring many nations to repentance and to Him. I did not know whether that was something I would do too until now. For besides several mentioning of Moses and Joshua... Somebody contacted me for Christian help finding a person. Through my help they learned the person was dishonest and not good, but also they recommitted their life to Christ. Then after this happened, I suddenly read about somebody leading people to repentance.. thus it is confirmed I will also take the role Beth had combined with the ministries God will have me do. There is more significance about the book of Joshua. For God has been speaking to me about moving into "the promised land" which I believe in my case is about moving into God's promises.

Not only this, but during second morning reading of the Bible, after my second awakening, my shoulder once again pulsated. I felt I need to go lift hand weights. I have honestly not been exercising as much as I should and not lifted weights in several weeks probably. But i followed this leading to do so Wednesday morning. When I did I remember the guy prayed for God to supernaturally provide new strength, so I prayed that too. Do not confuse this with asking for super strength. It is not so. Simply given physical strength by God is all. I had been very tired and weak lately. But then when I followed this leading and prayed, I was able to lift longer than before. I believe God was helping me rebuild my muscles.

Several weeks ago God gave me many verses and has been confirming they are from Him several ways, even by giving me new verses as I am preparing to lead a Bible study, and I believe also it is relating to preparing for types of evangelism.

Isaiah 43

Israel's Only Savior

1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush [a] and Seba in your stead.

4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life.

5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.

6 I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth-

7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made."

8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,
who have ears but are deaf.

9 All the nations gather together
and the peoples assemble.
Which of them foretold this
and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
so that others may hear and say, "It is true."

10 "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,
"and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.

11 I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior.

12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.

13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?"

God's Mercy and Israel's Unfaithfulness

14 This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
"For your sake I will send to Babylon
and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians,
in the ships in which they took pride.

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One,
Israel's Creator, your King."

16 This is what the LORD says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,

17 who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

18 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.



20 The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the desert
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21 the people I formed for myself
that they may proclaim my praise.

22 "Yet you have not called upon me, O Jacob,
you have not wearied yourselves for me, O Israel.

23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings,
nor honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with grain offerings
nor wearied you with demands for incense.

24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me,
or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins
and wearied me with your offenses.

25 "I, even I, am he who blots out
your transgressions, for my own sake,
and remembers your sins no more.

26 Review the past for me,
let us argue the matter together;
state the case for your innocence.

27 Your first father sinned;
your spokesmen rebelled against me.

28 So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple,
and I will consign Jacob to destruction [c]
and Israel to scorn.
 
Thus says the Lord of Hosts, "I have redeemed you, forgiven you, all who come to me and follow my Son Jesus Christ are free indeed! You belong to me. Do not listen to the liar, the accuser, Satan who says you do not have this choice, that you cannot be saved. That is a lie and you need not listen to it! I am the Lord your God, always. I am your salvation, by my son Jesus Christ you can be saved, should you choose to accept Him. I did not send Him to condemn the world, but by Him you should be saved. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and you can only come to Me by Him. He is the bridge to me over the chasm of sin which seperated you from me from the curse of the first man, Adam. Since I care for you so much, should you choose to follow me, I shall keep you under my protection and provision. Do not be afraid of things to come or things at hand, nor things of the past, for I am with all who earnestly seek Me and follow Me. I will bring the people from the nations even your own prodigal children. I shall demand my children and nothing shall hinder my plans. You who know me lead the nations back to me. Lead the people who are lost in your own country to me. Do not forsake those trapped in sinful lifestyles. Help them out but stay in Me so you shall not fall. But they need Me too, do not neglect them. Children even are an heritage of me, no matter what has happened with them. I want them all to dwell in Me!! I have chosen you for my great commission, that the nations will come to repentance and many more will come to me and be saved. Be not afraid of traditions and social issues. I am with you wherever you may go. Have I not commanded you to go forth? What is worse, uncomfortable among people, or suffering in hell? Thus the lost too should be given chance to come to me, fear not their social status. I sent Jesus not to save the saved, but to save the lost!! You are the salt of the earth, by My Spirit you are the current light in the darkness.I am not some idol, or common god of this world who has only power of mankind and is influenced by Satan! I am the One True God. Follow Me. Do not focus on past, present and future, but focus on Me, serving Me. Apart from me there is nothing for you. There are none other than I who can save you from your enemies. No weapon of the world or of Satan can take you from me once you have committed your life to Me through my Son Jesus. Even now I do a new thing. Even revival in the nations. A new boldness throughout, many signs and wonders, and I am changing you my servants for my purpose and Glory. I am even now making a way to move you forward. You who live in sin, repent and follow Me, and I shall purify your house and you shall be made clean, and even you shall see new things happen in your own life. You will see evidence upon evidence that I am God."

Read Isaiah 44-46

Thus says the Lord, do not fear. Do not be afraid, my child. By repenting and following me I shall be with you everywhere you will go. Have courage my son, my daughter. I do not forsake those who accept my love. I even do miracles before those whom do not love me. Consider Pharaoh and Moses. I used Moses many ways to perform my wonders. I care for the sparrows and the lillies of the field. I did wonders in front of nonbelievers, and if I care for plants and animals, don't you see that I care much more for those who follow me? I will provide for you and make myself known for generations even in your family should you follow me. You are Mine, and I am a jealous God. Do not follow idols who are made by men. Do not follow those men who say they are prophets but tell you not to follow Me. For I am the God of generations past, of Isaac and Jacob, and I truly sent my Son Jesus unto you by my servant Mary that you too can be saved and come to me. This is guaranteed salvation for you. Guaranteed! Who is there greater than I? Yourself? No. There are none like me. There are many "gods" of this world who say they are "God" but they only serve the rebellious one, the accuser, the liar, Satan who defied me and thus must suffer in hell. He desires to bring all people down with him to the pit. This suffering where it is dark and fiery and people will gnash their teeth is the destination for all who do not follow me.

Choose your path, my children, and choose carefully. For narrow and hard is the way to life with me in Heaven and earth, but wide and easy is the path to destruction and hell.

Isaiah 44:21 Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are my servant, O Israel. I have made you, you are my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you. 22 I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.23 Sing for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, O earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel.

Jerusalem to Be Inhabited

24 "This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
I am the LORD,
who has made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,

25 who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,
who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense,

26 who carries out the words of his servants
and fulfills the predictions of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, 'It shall be inhabited,'
of the towns of Judah, 'They shall be built,'
and of their ruins, 'I will restore them,'

27 who says to the watery deep, 'Be dry,
and I will dry up your streams,'

28 who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd
and will accomplish all that I please;
he will say of Jerusalem, "Let it be rebuilt,"
and of the temple, "Let its foundations be laid." '"

Thus the Lord says "I will establish my kindom worldwide. Throughout the earth, on this earth as I prepare the coming bride of Christ. I will build it and it shall be seen more and more internationally. Even in Israel, and even in your nation," says the Lord of Hosts. " I who raise and bring down the rulers of the earth. Even now many even oppressed nations I am raising up, and nothing will stand in the way. All who stand in the way will be brought down just as I have brought down kings of the past. Destruction awaits all who oppose Me. I who call you from the corners of the earth, I who raise even the weakest and make them mighty by my power! I shall provide for you from unexpected places. I will prosper you and provide for you. I will protect you and guide you. More and more those around you will know I am Lord and even what you see in your life shall help you forward and amaze you yourself. Through you, my servants, the earth shall both tremble and be amazed in my Glory. I am the Lord who created the heavens and the earth. I created light from darkness, and prosperity within poverty. I healed diseases that man said could not be cured just as my son Jesus has done even in Lazarus who rose from the grave by My power, and the woman who was healed by her faith in Jesus when she touched His cloak." Thus says the Lord of Hosts: "Even you shall do my wonders."

""This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands? Question not my works and promises, for everything I say shall come to pass, and nothing can happen without my permission. At my words, even death will flee, just as at my words, life may cease. Don't argue with me or doubt me. I am the Lord. Trust and obey Me, and You shall see my wonders even in your own life. You will receive much by my hand by your obedience, just as by disobedience and attacks from Satan, the thief, and accuser, things were taken away. Prepare to stand in awe and be amazed by my wonders. I have set forth my messengers and have began a new thing, a new display of my glory, greater than before"

Isaiah 45:19 I have not spoken in secret,
from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob's descendants,
'Seek me in vain.'
I, the LORD, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.

20 "Gather together and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.

21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the LORD ?
And there is no God apart from me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none but me.

22 "Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.

23 By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.

24 They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone
are righteousness and strength.' "
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.

25 But in the LORD all the descendants of Israel
will be found righteous and will exult.


Thus says the Lord of Hosts: "Those who serve idols and men, shall not find salvation and deliverance. Shall not find rest in their weariness. Only those who come to me. Even the oldest of old living men and women, should they follow me, they shall be saved and given rest. For I am God, the One True God, who rescued Israel from Pharoah, who destroyed Sodom and Gammorah, who flooded the earth to create anew, who by my love sent my Son Jesus to die for you. Repent and follow me, and you shall be saved.
Continue to follow me and you shall do my wonders. Behold I prepare the earth for judgment just as I prepare the bride for the Kingdom of Heaven. Do not focus on troubles and the things of this world. Do not focus on fears and worries of what was, what is, or what seems to be. Remember my wonders and promises, and be still, know I am the your Father, your God, your Maker. I am your Healer, Deliverer and Provider, Follow me and fear not the enemy or people. Accept the Fear of Me, The Fear of The Lord and obey Me and proclaim in boldness. For I am the Lord your God and I am with you wherever you may go. Listen to Me, and obey, for my righteousness and salvation are near, and my promises never cease. I shall fulfill them even now. Heed my words oh children, children of young and old, for all of you are my children, and I will not forsake those who follow Me. Come all who are weak and heavy burdened, accept the yoke of my Son Jesus, for it is light, and I shall be your strength wherever you will go. For I am the Lord your God. I love you and shall not forsake you, and I shall not forsake the people of the earth who follow me. The new thing has come. Arise, be healed, be delivered, set free, live, and live free in Me. Preach the Good News that Jesus has become the sacrifice for the sins of all, and all who come to Me through Him shall be saved."

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 14:6 "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man (no person) can come to the Father but by Me." -Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of the Most High God
