33. Isaiah and Love

33. Isaiah and Love - Notes

33. Isaiah and Love - PP

Isaiah called forth the Church of Jesus Christ more fervently than any other Old Testament writer. You and I are where we find ourselves to be because we have been caught in the iron-grip of that call.

I am not speaking of becoming born again or filled with the Spirit, but rather, that Church that reveals the glory of God upon this earth. Isaiah called forth a Tabernacles Church, and we have been seized into its deep currents.

I was twenty years old when I first heard Isaiah’s call, and it has been echoing inside of me with urgency ever since.

Out of Zion. Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

– “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord.” – It was this same call filling your own heart that turned your ears when you heard it spoken through me.

Madness and Ruin. We find ourselves in a world plunging headlong into madness and ruin.

Yet I had better pause and explain carefully. The plans of evil in this world are clear, for they have told us exactly what they are doing and will do. NOT knowing what is going on comes from only one cause.

– Because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned… (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 – NKJV).

To Shut Their Mouths. Here is the same thing in the JSV. – For they have not welcomed the love of the truth in exchange for the purpose of their being saved. And through this, God will permit them a wandering energia, into their believing what is false so that all should be judged…

God has one purpose towards everyone in this world, including all Christians. He intends to convince them to shut their mouths. – That every mouth might be closed, and the entire cosmos brought under judgment before God (Romans 3:19).

Judgment is the only entrance into salvation.

Chicken Little. For twenty years now, the controllers of this world have been experimenting boldly with the Chicken Little fable. – “Can we get the masses to run in fear when nothing has actually happened, but just by rumors spun in the media?”

Their experiment has proven wildly successful beyond all expectation, yet their target has never really been the world, but rather the church. Getting Christians, not only to run in fear, but to drive others in that same fear, this is the goal.

The experiment has alternated between two great rumors, great acts of staged terror on the one hand, and fake “v-scares” on the other hand. Like Pavlov’s dogs, the two have associated together in the minds of many.

Their Pharmaceutical Drugs. Since the first practiced v-scare, in 1976 actually, the needle has always been the primary device, however.

And they did not change their minds out of their killings nor out of their pharmaceutical drugs (the great Vac) nor out of their pornography nor out of their thefts (Revelation 9:21 – rough JSV).

Here is how it works. First they say what they will do – V passes are coming. Then they deny it as a baseless rumor coming from the lunatic fringe. Then a year later it’s issued into law as if it’s ho-hum obvious. This was always the plan, visible since before we were born.
 
Sorcery! A series of jabs, then, over time. The first contains DNA-altering sorcery, - and that’s what it is. Then more of the same, then more rumors of V-fear, then radio chs- in the jab, then more. Until everyone is other than human and attached internally to the world wide web.

Once the first jab is accepted, then it becomes harder to say no to the next.

And this is not the “lunatic fringe” laying out these things, but the drug pushers themselves, the leading officials. And churches everywhere are becoming centers for the jab!

Cannot Buy or Sell. Now – the leading officials themselves are making it clear that the V-pass will be required in order to participate in financial transactions – that eventually (and coming fast) no one can buy or sell who does not have the V-pass.

Then, right on cue, public figures are raising the question – does this not sound like the book of Revelation – the mark of the beast – that you cannot buy or sell? Whether they are sincere or not, the goal is to make everyone laugh at the “stupid and religious lunatic fringe.”

And Christians, hearing the rumors, comfort their hearts, “It cannot be, for the Antichrist and the rapture are not yet.”

Before Her Pain Came. At this point, you are likely thinking, “Hey, Yordy, what on earth does this have to do with ‘Isaiah and Love’?”

And my answer is – “EVERYTHING!”

The sound of noise from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord, who fully repays His enemies! “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a male child. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord. “Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.

Rumor upon Rumor. Zion is the Beloved of the Lord Jesus, a woman clothed with the sun, the Church enclothed with the Lord Jesus. Birth first – pain second.

There is no pand-. It is a baseless rumor, as the Bible says. Disaster will come upon disaster, and rumor will be upon rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet; but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders (Ezekiel 7:26).

Christian leaders and !Christian relatives! are taking the jab, convinced that the OBVIOUS lie is true (reality = normal death rate), and that those who refuse the jab are dangerous.

Isaiah Spoke to Us. It is into our world today, in the year of our Lord 2021, that Isaiah spoke this word – for our ears and the urgency of our hearts.

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.’”

A Standard Against. For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

You and I are sons of the Church; she belongs to God through us.

So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Of truth, all of Isaiah 59 contains the heart of the urgency I feel in our present dilemma.

Does God Allow? Does God allow believers in Jesus, our brothers and sisters in Christ, to be deluded by the lies of this world and to take the mark of the beast as it is issued step by step?

Does God allow believers in Jesus, those for whom we are interceding, to take in hand the whip against us for refusing the V, even as we are seeing them do?

Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him.

They Won’t Shut Up. Why is it that our brothers and sisters in Christ seem unable to hear the Word of Christ their only life?

It’s because they are running their mouths. It’s because they won’t shut up. It’s because they have their own story to spin, their own rendition of the serpent’s words. That every mouth might be closed, and the entire cosmos brought under judgment before God.

Let me give you a little scenario. You believe in Jesus, you love Him with all your heart, but you also believe in a Jesus someday and in not-Christ in the present time. You are living your life, believing the lies of the world and spinning your own story of “I am a sinner ‘saved’ by ‘grace.’”

A Crowbar. You want to do your part to “save the world.” You believe in “science,” don’t you?

So you take the jab, and then they say, “Another V!” So you take the jab again and then again. Then, over time, you find a press inside of you, inside your nerves and mind. You find thoughts you never had before flitting through. You become concerned. You notice all those foolish fringe people who cannot buy or sale because of their “anti-science.”

Then, you are hit smack in the forehead with a crowbar, so to speak. - If anyone… receives his mark… he shall drink of …the wrath of God …tormented with fire …in the presence of the Lamb… Forever and ever.

What Would You Do? In that moment, what would you do?

Here is what I did in a very similar scenario when I was 19. I opened my Bible and read these words. – For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, …and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God… if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame (Hebrews 6:4-6 – reduced NKJV).

And I read them in light of the vision I saw at age 16, of the gates of God’s city closed tightly against me.

His Own Arm. How do you respond to such a hammerlock? You see, if you say one word about yourself, “I’m gonna this, and I’m gonna that,” you're dead, for you have just sealed yourself into darkness and it will be more than a thousand years before someone reaches into your darkness to show you the only way out.

If the cross of Jesus Christ cannot prevail over Christians to get them to shut up about how they are going to “please” God and “Well, I believe this and you believe that,” then God has to go to great lengths to silence them.

Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him.

What Did I Do? What did I do when I heard those words in that awful blackness? – “Salvation is impossible for you.”

I responded with only one thought. – “JESUS, would You be crucified a second time for me, would You be put to shame again for my sake?” And immediately I heard the words, “My son,” and the gate opened wide and I entered into the knowledge of salvation. And from that moment on, I have been ready (in critical moments) to close my mouth concerning myself, to give thanks for the sake of all, and to see and speak only Christ.

What am I saying? – What is Isaiah – What is God saying?

Seized into God. The chapters from Isaiah that I had you read, “Isaiah and Love,” are the same word, spoken in the same reverberation, as Revelation 12, which is the same word as Romans 8.

And the piercing cry of that call that entered so deeply into me in October of 1978, - A woman enclothed with the sun…. screams, being in travail and being tortured to bring to birth… And the dragon stands in the face of the woman… that he might devour her child. She brought forth a male, a son, who is about to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron, and her child was seized into God and into His throne. And the woman escaped into a desolate place where she has a place having been prepared by God, that they should nourish her there…

Responding to God. This is what we are doing; this is the meaning of our prayers together; this is the call of Isaiah.

We have long since shut up about ourselves; we have turned entirely around. We are a done deal; we are seized into God and into His throne, the Mercy Seat of Christ now our human hearts of flesh.

We hear the Voice of the Holy, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” And we respond with the Lord Jesus in our mouths, “Here we are, we AND ALL our brothers and sisters in Jesus all across the earth, regardless – REGARDLESS, oh God!”

For Jerusalem’s Sake. And Christ in our mouths is NOT silent in the face and presence of God. – For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

We could be in despair, very easily, as we see women we have known who love and fear God, lining up to take the V-jab, and as we see places like Lakewood Church offering their facilities as a center for the V-jab.

Why? Because they look at the in-your-face lies of this world and they “believe” that the world is telling them the truth. And they do not realize that Maureen and I will soon be unable to buy or sell.

Isaiah and Love. Everyone is mad; everyone is bonkers, as they leap headlong into the gaping maw of the dragon who seeks to devour her Child as soon as it is born.

Let us be mad as well; we are in good company. Let us be that Child, in all reckless confidence of faith. And let us stand before our God, as the Lord Jesus Christ, and let us REQUIRE of Him that He make the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST, millions of believers in Jesus all across the planet, a praise in all the earth.

Isaiah and love is a desperate, desperate topic; Isaiah and love is where God has placed us now in the year of our Lord 2021.

Reading for Next Time. The next lesson is titled “Jeremiah and Tears.” To prepare for this lesson, please read Jeremiah Chapters 1 & 2, Chapter 20:7-18, and all of Lamentations.

When we see the Heart of God expressed through Isaiah and Jeremiah, we are caught in the fierceness of its grip.

Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not. – Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

Let’s Pray Together. Our prayer this time is the same call of Isaiah and Jeremiah, John and Paul, to the Church, that she would close her mouth about herself and hear Christ alone.

“Lord Jesus, we place ourselves utterly with You as part of You. We are Your voice; we speak the words You are speaking. We never think other than You through us.

“God, our Father, we come before You as the Lord Jesus Christ, for we are utterly inside of His name. And as Jesus, we place our heart inside Your Presence – Your Church, Oh God, precious believers in Jesus all across the earth, who are wandering inside of lies and are binding themselves to darkness, yet they love You.”

Salvation Revealed. “God, You say that when there is no man, when there is no one to stand between Your people and the darkness, that Your own arm brings Salvation to You.

“Father, as the Lord Jesus sent into us, we give ourselves utterly to You that we would be that arm of God. Father, BE Salvation revealed through us now into our world. Be the Salvation of Your Church.

“Oh, My people, you believe that the world is telling you the truth, but you do not believe that I am telling you the truth. You believe in what is falsely called ‘science,’ but You do not believe that I am your only life.

We Call Your Church. “But where has your darkness taken you, My beloved? Has it not taken you into the agonies of death? You believe in God; believe also into Me.

“Father, You have given to us all authority inside of heaven upon earth. Father, by that authority, we call Your church, more than a hundred million believers in Jesus, out from the darkness, out from the lies, and into Your Feast.

“Come, you who call upon His name. Be silent, and never speak of your own ‘self’ again. The world hates you, good; come out of her, for she lies to you. Jesus is your life; Jesus is all there is inside of you. Turn around and BE His salvation in your world.”

The Web of Life. I watched a YouTube video on how a plant’s roots connect with the good life of the soil to benefit it as it benefits the plant. I recommend that you watch it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTNbk6fvyXUihUucCWTpNSA   

Consider the good bacteria as the words of Christ and the good fungi as the web of the Spirit going far into the earth, seeking what is needed by the plant and bringing it to her.

As we together speak these prayers, regardless of the fact that we have no idea what we are doing, so the Kingdom of God is woven out from us by our Words of Christ as they are carried by the Spirit into all the depths of our world.
