Isaiah 13-17

What God said to me – It is not your responsibility to turn your nation back to Me.  It is your responsibility to pray.  It is your responsibility to be a watchman on the wall and warn them of the consequences of their sin and of the coming judgment.  It is your responsibility to repent and be holy before Me.  It is your responsibility to be diligent in your walk and not forsake this time we have together.  I will do what I must do and you must trust Me.  “I AM” righteous and I never do anything that is apart from My character.  Whether you see judgment or revival, you can know that “I AM” in control and carrying out My plan.  No one can frustrate My stretched out hand or turn it back.  Just as I have intended, so it will happen and just as I have planned, so it will stand.

Isaiah 9-12

What God said to me – When a nation falls away from Me and My judgment falls on them, no amount of national pride will restore it to its lost glory and prosperity.  If that nation is to be restored it will not be because of national pride, but national humility.  National humility which is demonstrated by its people falling on their faces and crying out to Me.  National humility which is demonstrated by its people falling on their faces and confessing their sin.  National humility which is demonstrated by its people falling on their faces and begging Me to heal their land.  National humility which is demonstrated by its people falling on their faces and acknowledging Me as their God, their King, their Savior.  If this is ever to happen it must start with My people who are willing to stand in the gap and pray.

Isaiah 5-8

What God said to me – You live in a day where evil is called good and good is called evil – where darkness is substituted for light and light for darkness – where the wicked are justified and those who are right have no rights.  But do not fear for “I AM” still on My throne and “I AM” still in control.  When I asked Isaiah “whom shall I send” it was to warn them of the coming judgment.  I ask you the same question – “whom shall I send” – will you answer as Isaiah and say “here am I, send me”?  Are you willing to stand in the gap and pray?  Are you willing to be a faithful watchman on the wall and warn of the impending judgment?  Are you willing to separate yourself and not walk in the way of this ungodly generation?  It is not an easy thing that I ask but “I AM” holy and I will be your sanctuary.
