A Manifestation of the Truth

A Year to Remember God’s Promises

Isaiah 43:18 and Genesis 21:5

 

 

 

 

Greeting Saints of the Most High God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” ~Isaiah 43:19

“Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him”.  ~Genesis 21:5

Something New

God declares his plans to initiate something new, unprecedented act of salvation and renewal.  This promise was originally given in the context of restoring Israel from exile and also foretells our coming Messiah. 

Elohim Keeps His Promise

As we see in scripture, God (Elohim) made a promise to Abraham and Sarah. They both were unfruitful and barren. And now He is ready to perform that which He hath spoken. 

The imagery of “making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”  This is very powerful of God’s ability to provide life, abundance, and guidance even when it seems to be impossible.

This year will bring hope for all your discouragement.  It serves as a message to trust in the Lord with all thine heart and watch Him bring it to pass!!

God’s Transformative Work

In this new season, these 2 passages of scripture encourage us in difficult times to acknowledge Him beyond past failures.  God is a God of transformative work in your lives. This is a promise to us as well. The children of Israel were led into captivity, but God! Come on in the room, but God! Say it out loud, but God promises to deliver them and create a new path back home, a time of spiritual renewal that directs us back to His New Covenant in and through Christ. This work is continuing the work that Christ began in His people through the Holy Spirit

The Connection

As we connect these two scriptures, it demonstrates God’s consistency:

~Divine intervention

~Fresh start

~Hope

Christ is the primary agent who initiates new beginnings and overcomes impossible situations. This season is a manifestation of His promise to you.

God Made A Way

In Genesis 21:5, in the place of desolation and barrenness, God made a way! Glory! Glory! And that is what He is doing in your life.

~The fulfillment of His promises.

~Our Father's character is faithful.

~He will bring His word to pass.

Abraham believed in God.  What I like about this is that in Genesis 21:1, the Lord took note of Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised.  We can’t hurry God, but we can believe Him.  If He said it, He will bring it to pass. Come on and say, AMEN!!

The Lord is the only giver of life.  The Bible stresses that the Lord causes conception. When He visited Sarah, it meant that He entered directly into the affairs of His people.  God opened Sarah’s womb, Glory!!  I can testify to this; my womb was shut up, but today, I can say that the Lord has opened my womb.

The Expectation

Be encouraged, Saints of the Most High God. 

~Expect Him

~Watch Him

The one who is faithful and true will bring it to pass.

God bless you richly in this new season of Promise and Manifestation.

Shalom! Shalom!
