This a a word that God inspired me to write in regard to the promises in Isaiah 54-55
Isaiah 54
If you have not seen your godly desires come to fruition, then God says "Sing; break forth into singing and cry aloud". This is the heart of worship that God wants to instill into your life. Praise and worship is healing ground in the kingdom of God. The act of worship calls forth God’s blessing from the heavens into this world of time and space. Worship is critical in aligning your heart to God’s will for your life.
God says that those who desire to walk in blessing should enlarge their vision; do not spare hope or faith. Have no fear or shame of your past or your present brokenness, because all has been forgiven and He will restore what the enemy has stolen beyond what you can measure. Praise your Father in heaven, because He has not forgotten His promise.
Here is the faith portion of the promise of blessing. You must step out into the promise. You must pray, believe, and act on the promise in whatever way God shows you. "All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen . . ." (2 Corinthians 1:20)
He is your protector, provider, and husband. For a moment in your unbelief, you felt forsaken, but with great mercy He will gather you. There is no more rebuke, and His kindness shall never leave you. He will provide an abundant life overflowing in relational blessing in Him.
Those who have been oppressed and without peace, He will make your life a shining crown of glory to all who look on you; even the God’s natural creation will take notice. You will know that the righteousness of God is your foundation and rest in this fact.
The enemy will send his minions to threaten you, but these will fall because of your standard raised for His righteousness. The schemes of the enemy will not result in evil for your life, but God is sovereign and will deliver good to you from every evil scheme.
Isaiah 55
What you desire is always found in Him. No godly desire is fulfilled outside of life in the Father. When you thirst for intimacy, it is found in Him. When you thirst for romance, it is found in Him. All abundance comes from the Father, and He desires to fill you to overflowing regardless of your present state. He says "come and be filled". We are all empty when we come to His table, otherwise we wouldn’t have need of Him. There is no shame in this. "Let" your soul delight itself in abundance. "Hear" and your soul shall live.
Out of this abundant inner life, you will be sent to fulfill His will for you. You will go places spiritually and physically that you never knew were possible. Who you are today is vastly less than who God is making you to be. He will make quick work of these changes if you let him. People will come to you for shelter and understanding because of God’s blessing on your life; because He has glorified you.
If you have need of repentance, call on Him now while He is waiting for you. Forsake any evil thing in your life, and He will abundantly pardon. The world’s thinking sometimes seems harmless, but God’s ways are not the world’s. He is GOD and we should abide in holy fear of His awesome righteousness and powerful justice in all things.
Let His word abide in your heart, so that it may accomplish His will for your life. In this you will be joyful in all ways and ALL of God’s creation will reflect the glory that shines from your soul. You will essentially bring forth blessing in your world, because of that transaction of God’s life, living through you daily. His righteousness is revealed in and through you.
