Isaiah 30:1-34:17

What God said to me – “I AM” a loving God and I long to be gracious to My children.  I long to bestow blessing upon blessing as we walk together.  So many of My children are either in outright rebellion or tune Me out and are unwilling to listen to My voice.  Don’t be like that.  Come to Me eagerly to hear what I have to say to you.  Let Me teach you and instruct you in the way you should go.  “I AM” with you and whether you turn to the right or to the left you will hear My voice saying, “this is the way, walk in it.”  I will direct your path.  You will experience My presence and see Me at work.  You live in a difficult time, but I will be your sure foundation.  You will walk in confidence with Me in spite of the turmoil all around.  I will give you peace.

Isaiah 27:1-29:24

What God said to me – You are My friend.  I have cut covenant with you.  My desire is that our relationship be an ongoing conversation, sharing our lives with each other, you with Me and Me with you.  It is not religion, do this, do that, follow this rule, follow that rule – it is relationship.  So much of church is rules and rituals and litanies saying the right things, but hearts and lives are far from Me.  I don’t desire rote worship.  I desire heartfelt awe as you spend time with Me and see Me for who I truly am.   So much time is wasted doing things and going through motions in order to make you feel better, but are totally meaningless to Me.  Spend your time with Me and I will instruct you and teach you the right way – the way that is pleasing to Me.  We are friends.  Let’s talk.

Isaiah 22:1-26:21

What God said to me – “I AM” your peace.  Stay close to Me.  Spend much time with Me and you will experience My peace.  It’s not something you do or strive for.  “I AM” the one who establishes you in peace for “I AM” peace.  Keep your mind set on Me and I will keep you in peace.  Quit worrying about all you have to do or how something is going to happen or why something has happened.  Set your mind on Me.  You don’t accomplish anything apart from Me.  Set your mind on Me.  Listen to Me and then watch what happens.  You will accomplish much for I will do it.  You will experience peace for I will fill you.  You will see Me at work for I will help you.  You will have great joy for I will be with you.  Trust in Me and I will keep you in perfect peace.
