Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 41
41 “Coastlands, listen to Me in silence,
Isaiah 41:1-5
And let the peoples gain new strength;
Let them come forward, then let them speak;
Let us come together for judgment.
2 “Who has aroused one from the east
Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet?
He delivers up nations before him
And subdues kings.
He makes them like dust with his sword,
As the wind-driven chaff with his bow.
3 “He pursues them, passing on in safety,
By a way he had not been traversing with his feet.
4 “Who has performed and accomplished it,
Calling forth the generations from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord, am the first, and with the last. I am He.’”
5 The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
The ends of the earth tremble;
They have drawn near and have come.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Resurrection. A mighty resurrection. A mighty overturning. A mighty usurpation of power, of the powers that be, of the status quo. You will see it all be flipped on its head. The upside down world will be put back to right. Right will prevail. Right will land on top, and right will wear the victory belt. The champion, the warrior of what is right will stand far, far above his adversaries and foes. He will be the one left standing. The foes will not remain. They will not be found, and it will be like the world has settled into rights again. Into its rightful place again. Where things were uncomfortable, ill-fitting and out of joint, they will be just right. They will fit into place, and the irritations and the frustrations that were so common because of the world not fitting properly into its place will be made right. Life will be easier, because the built-in and manufactured chaos, obstacles and difficulties will be dismantled and removed.
8 “But you, Israel, My servant,
Isaiah 41:8-12
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Descendant of Abraham My friend,
9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its remotest parts
And said to you, ‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and not rejected you.
10 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
11 “Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored;
Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
12 “You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them,
Those who war with you will be as nothing and non-existent.
13 “For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand,
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’
The world will sit comfortably, properly, rightly again, and life will be much simpler, much easier, much smoother and less fraught. The atmosphere will be clear. Things will just work. In order to get there, the champion must stir up the storm. The champion must bait the enemy into activating a tremendous storm. He will bait them and cajole them, and the storm will be released. The storm will look grim and dire, and it will cause many hearts to despair. It will cause many to bow their heads in deep, deep sorrow. It will feel unbearable. But it is all a ruse. It is all a ruse. This is for the usurpation. This is for the overturning, the overthrowing, the dismantling. This is for the win of wins.
13 “For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand,
Isaiah 41:13-16
Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’
14 “Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel;
I will help you,” declares the Lord, “and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;
You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them,
And will make the hills like chaff.
16 “You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away,
And the storm will scatter them;
But you will rejoice in the Lord,
You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Do not be drawn into despair. Do not be in agreement with sorrow and giving up. Hold on in faith. Speak these words. America shall live again. America shall rise again. America is the land of the Lord’s planting. America is the Lord’s gift to the world. America shall be saved. Don’t give way to darkness. Give it no room in your home. The days of the re-writing are coming. The days of the re-righting are coming. The days of things being put right are coming. Just a little while longer. Hope is near. Keep your eyes on Me. Hope is near.
