PASSIONATE PURSUIT...BORN TO RESTORE

​Isaiah 9:2-8
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them have the light shined.
Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it, with judgment, and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
There was an afflicted people who were troubled in anguish and driven to darkness. The prophet spoke of these things. Then the Lord used the prophet Isaiah by His Spirit to the children to sanctify the Lord of hosts, make a place for him. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. He said bind up the testimony among his disciples. There is vexation of spirit and yet the nations continue to multiply. There is warfare on every side. Outwardly there are threatenings; inwardly there are fears. The oppressor is ever present waiting to kick you while you are down. Then the Holy Spirit speaks a remedy that will change things for ever. The Lord God has sent his only begotten son and the government will be upon him. He is Wonderful. He is the good Shepperd. He is a rock. He is a fortress. He has a name above every name. Although there was no joy because of darkness, He came with the name Counselor and brought tidings of great joy. He has become the light of the world. The mighty God has come and with Him is everlasting peace. With His kingdom, there is no end. He forever sits on the throne of David. There is no end to his righteousness. There is no end to his truth. There is no end to His righteous judgment. There is no end to his holiness. There is no end to His wonder, His splendor, His majesty, His honor, His power, His faithfulness. It goes on and on and on and on. He is…He is the Ancient of days…He is the first…He is the last…He is the author and finisher of our faith…He is the Great I AM. He came to restore ever sinner who will believe, to unify them to His purified love. #performedit #finished #faith #hope #love
