STUDYING AND UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE – PART 431
Isaiah Chapter 45 concluded…
Prophet Isaiah uses the remaining verses in Chapter 45 to describe the greatness of God and also condemns Idolatry in strong terms.
Let’s read…
Isaiah 45:15-25 TPT
Truly, O God of Israel, the Savior, you are a God who hides himself.”
Note: what Isaiah means here is that God is invisible and can only be related with in Spirit and truth, because He is a Spirit Being. You can’t see Him. Yet, He is so powerful that He manifests Himself in the life of every human being.
Let’s read what Jesus says about the Invisible God…in John 4:23-24
[23]But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24]God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Let’s continue with Isaiah Chap 45…
[16] All the idol-makers will be ashamed and disgraced, and each one will walk away in confusion.
Note: talking about idolatry here, many people have narrowed down their mind to images made with iron or wood and therefore exonerate themselves of such sin, forgetting that anything one prefers over and above God, anything taking most of your time over and above God, and giving you sleepless nights, has become an idol.
Some people worship money, latest cars and various forms of luxurious things, some even worship human beings, while some worship technology, etc they all fall in the same category.
[17] But Yahweh saves Israel with everlasting salvation! You will not be put to shame nor disgraced for all eternity!
Note: this is another confirmation of eternal Salvation given to every believer.
[18] This is what Yahweh says, heaven’s Creator, who alone is God. He created the earth, shaped it, and established it all by himself. He made it fit and orderly and beautiful for its inhabitants. He says: “I am Yahweh, and there is no other god.
[19] I didn’t whisper in secret, in a realm of darkness. I didn’t say to Jacob’s tribes, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I am Yahweh! I speak the truth and declare to you what is right!
Seeking God does not mean travelling from one location to another looking for God. No, you can simply connect with Him right there in your heart. It’s a thing of the mind – the subconscious.
That’s why Jeremiah 29:13 says…And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
You must be on the same frequency with God for your connection to be validated. There is no way someone harbouring sin, bitterness, lust, unforgiveness, grudge etc can connect with God. They are not compatible at all. In fact, you wont be able to concentrate let alone receiving any instructions from God, because the mind is polluted already.
That’s why you must let go first of any clog and then connect with God with a heart of FAITH. Read Hebrew 11:6
[20] “Come together! Assemble yourselves! Draw near, you refugees from among the nations. Those who parade their powerless wooden idols have no revelation knowledge. They keep on praying to gods who cannot save them.
[21] Declare what is to be and state your case. Go ahead and take counsel together. Who knew all about this and declared it long ago? Was it not I, Yahweh? There is no god apart from me. I am a righteous God and a Savior. There is no one you can compare to me.
[22] So turn your heart to me, face me now, and be saved wherever you are, even from the ends of the earth, for I alone am God, and there is no other.
Note: the above verse is just a typical call for Salvation to both Jews and Gentiles (distant nations).
[23] I make this solemn oath to you in my own name; this word sent from my mouth in righteousness will not return unfulfilled: ‘Truly every knee will bow before me and every tongue will solemnly swear allegiance to me!’
[24] All will say of me, ‘Yes! Only in Yahweh do I find righteousness and strength!’ And all who were angry with me will come before me and regret it!
[25] In Yahweh, all of Israel’s offspring will triumph and shine!”
To be continued…Praise God.
