- The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
- 3 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.
- 4 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.
- 5 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.
- 6 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.
- 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall 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 for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
- 8 ¶ The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
- ISAIAH 9:2-7 IS PERHAPS THE MOST WELL KNOWN PROPHECY OF THE COMING MESSIAH.
- ISAIAH CALLED THE CHILD WHO WAS TO BE BORN: “WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.”
- THE LAST SENTENCE OF VERSE 7. SAYS, “THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL DO THIS.”
- IT IS TIME TO THINK MORE ABOUT THE LORD’S ZEAL TO RESCUE US AND AND TO PERFORM ALL THINGS FOR US
- THE LORD’S ZEAL WHAT IS IT? WHAT DOES THE WORD ZEAL EVEN MEAN?
- ZEAL MEANS GREAT ENERGY OR ENTHUSIASM IN PURSUIT OF A CAUSE OR AN OBJECTIVE.
- THE SIMILAR WORDS ARE PASSION, ZEALOUSNESS, COMMITTEDNESS , FIRE AND LOVE
- BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE LORD HAS ZEAL FOR HIS PEOPLE?
- AND IN WHICH DIRECTION IS THIS ZEAL GOING CONCERNING US HIS PEOPLE?
- IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTND THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS FOR YOUR LIFE ,THINK OF ALL THAT HE DID TI SAFE ISRAEL FROM EGYPT
- THINK OF JOHN 3:12-18
- If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
- 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
- 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
- 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
- 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
- 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
- YES, WHAT IS THIS ZEAL? THE WORD ZEAL IS THE SAME WORD THAT THE LORD USES TO DESCRIBE HIMSELF AS A JEALOUS GOD TO ISRAEL AT MT. SINAI
- THERE HE SPEAKS TO ISRAEL DISPLAYING TO THEM THAT THEY ARE HIS POSSESSION AND NO ONE ELSE’S
- AND THAT ISRAEL SHOULD NOT CHASE AFTER FALSE GODS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LORD’S PEOPLE.
- THE LORD KNOWS HIS OWN, SO HE DESIRES THEM FOR HIMSELF AND FOR HIMSELF ALONE.
- AND IN HIS ZEAL HE SHALL FIGHT TO KEEP HIS OWN FROM ALL SATANIC AFFLICTION
- ISAIAH 62,ISAIAH 63 AND 64 ALL DESCRIBE THE ZEAL OF THE LORD FOR HIS PEOPLE ( READ)
- IN ISAIAH 7:1-14 GOD SPOKE OF THIS GREAT ZEAL AS THE PROPHET PROPHESIED VICTORY FOR JUDAH ( READ)
- THE LORD TOLD DAVID THAT HE WOULD PLACE HIS SON ON HIS THRONE AND HE HIS REIGN WOULD BE FOREVER AND IT WOULD BE A REIGN OF PEACE.
- THE CHILD THAT IS BORN, THE SON THAT IS GIVEN WILL REIGN ON THE THRONE OF DAVID. AND IT WILL BE SO BECAUSE THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL DO THIS.
- THE LORD REMEMBERS HIS PROMISES AND MAKES THEM COME FULL CIRCLE IN THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST .
- HE IS THE KING OF KINGS, THE SON OF DAVID, WHO SAVES HIS PEOPLE AND BRINGS PEACE TO ALL, AS THE ANGELS DECLARED.
- THE LORD’S ZEAL IS FOR HIS PEOPLE,FOR WHOM HE ALWAYS WORKS TO DEFEND AND RECONCILE UNTO HIMSELF.
- HE JOYFULLY GOES TO THE CROSS TO BRING TO US PEACE!
- JESUS’ ZEAL WHO CARES FOR US, REMEMBERS US, AND DIES FOR US THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE CHILDREN OF GOD.
- WHAT A ZEALOUS GOD WE HAVE, CARING FOR HIS PEOPLE, REMEMBERING HIS PROMISES
- AND BY HIS OWN ZEAL MAKES HIS PROMISES COME TRUE!
- THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS DONE IT AND DONE WELL FOR US AND FOR OUR SALVATION!
- WE PRAYED THE LORD’S PRAYER VERY FERVENTLY AS DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR A WHOLE YEAR
- WE PRAYED THE LORD’S PRAYER VERY FERVENTLY WITH EMPHASIS ON MATT 6:10 “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.”
- GOD’S KINGDOM IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.
- ROM.14:17.-19
- For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
- 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
- 19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
- I BELIEVE OUR ANCHOR 2021 IS GOD’S ANSWER TO THOSE PRAYERS
- ZEPHANIAH 3:13-20
- The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
- 14 ¶ Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
- 15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
- 16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
- 17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
- 18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
- 19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
- 20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.

- JOHN 3:1-7
- There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
- Joh:3:2: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
- Joh:3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
- Joh:3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
- Joh:3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
- Joh:3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
- Joh:3:7: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
- HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE LORD AND NICHODEMUS?
- THE LORD DOES NOT SPEAK IDLE WORDS ,YOU NEED TO FIRST SEE GOD’S KINGDOM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST IN YOUR LIFE

- THE EARTH IS NOT WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENTS OF THE NATIONS TO STOP TERRORISM, THEY ARE WAITING FOR US
- THEY ARE WONDERING IF THERE IS A GOD WHO CAN HELP THIS WORLD AT THIS TIME.
- A COLD AND INDIFERENT CHRISTIANITY WILL NOT STOP THE FIRE OF HELL.
- HOLY GHOST FIRE MUST MOVE IN OUR BRAINS. IT MUST COMPEL OUR ACTIONS AND MOVE OUR TONGUES.
- BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BE BORN AGAIN AND BE SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

- REV. 3:14-22.
- And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
- 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
- 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
- 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
- 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
- 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
- 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
- 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
- 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
- WE NEED DELIVERANCE BECAUSE WE DON’T YET UNDERSTAND OUR NEED FOR HOLINESS AND GOD’S PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES.
- WE DON’T UNDERSTAND COMMITMENT TO GOD AND HIS WORD AND FERVENT PRAYERS
- Isa:59:11-16
- We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
- Isa:59:11: We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
- Isa:59:12: For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
- Isa:59:13: In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
- Isa:59:14: And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
- Isa:59:15: Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
- Isa:59:16: And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
- THE WORD OF THE LORD SAYS IN ISAIAH 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
- THE LORD BY HIS ZEAL SHALL HAS BROUGHT DOWN HIS KINGDOM TO US ALL

- Isa:49:26: And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

- Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
- Lu:15:2: And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
- Lu:15:3: And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
- Lu:15:4: What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
- Lu:15:5: And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
- Lu:15:6: And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
- Lu:15:7: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
- Lu:15:8: Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
- Lu:15:9: And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
- Lu:15:10: Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
- Lu:15:11: And he said, A certain man had two sons:
- Lu:15:12: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
- Lu:15:13: And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
- Lu:15:14: And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
- Lu:15:15: And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
- Lu:15:16: And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
- Lu:15:17: And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
- Lu:15:18: I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
- Lu:15:19: And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
- Lu:15:20: And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
- Lu:15:21: And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
- Lu:15:22: But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
- Lu:15:23: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
- Lu:15:24: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
- Lu:15:25: Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
- Lu:15:26: And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
- Lu:15:27: And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
- Lu:15:28: And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
- Lu:15:29: And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
- Lu:15:30: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
- Lu:15:31: And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
- Lu:15:32: It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
