REVIVAL!!!
Carl HigashiIsaiah 50:7-8
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
He who vindicates me is near.
A sinful nation (Israel) is reminded that God has never left them, but they have left Him. But as they are humbled, they again begin to hear again. God AWAKENS their ears and the people of God (Israel) are risen up encouraged by God and turn from their rebellious ways back to Him and His direction. Although still in much disgrace, the people of God return to their first love, God! They are reminded of His never ending help in the midst of struggle and they clearly make a decision to stand firm in their commitment to Him amidst the persecution, trial and tribulation!
Why?
Because He who saves, vindicates, cares, and loves is NEAR! He is with them! He will stand with them! He will help them! He will give them victory! How does victory look like for us today...THE CROSS of Jesus Christ and eternal life with Him!
Pray for revival to happen fully in my family, the church, state, nation, the world and me!
Heavenly Father, You are with your holy people! May people truly believe this and live their faith out! May it begin with me and my family, our church at New Hope, Hawaii, and the USA. Through revival may the world come to know Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus come soon, bring revival to us!
In Jesus' name I pray! Amen!
