People are vain, people of color are being oppressed more than before, children are killin family, vanity is out of control, there is not love, people have turned away from GOD and the church and doing what pleases their flesh. Homosexuality is made legal to marry, and times are worst than ever before, but GOD is still in control, and he will get our attention. We have to began to PRAY and seek him NOW! Before destruction comes and we are consumed. I am a woman after GOD's own heart. Matt 6:33
I look at our churches today and I see much sacrifice of goods but little sacrifice of heart. God was not pleased with the bullocks and rams. Nor is he pleased with our cash or cars or whatever when he does not have our hearts. It is time that we as christians give God our heart and not simply lip service. We can walk a walk and talk a talk at church but our homes are riddled with the sins and weights of this world. Soft porn flows through almost every T.V., immodesty hangs in most closets just waiting to be worn. It is as if somhow we think that the filth we allow on the T.V. and the lack of morals we display in everyday living is somhow missed by God and he is ok with it. Obviously he was not fooled by the Israelites and he is not fooled by us.
It seems that Israel like the U.S. has grown so far from God that not only have they forsaken God. Not only do they not believe in Him, but they no longer consider Him to be a possibility nor his ways an option. I cannot help but look at our country and see how the masses are getting to this point and cannot help but think that a God who never changes will reap upon our nation the same punishment that he placed upon Israel for their sinfulness.
Dios le esta hablando a su pueblo que se ha desviado y han dejado de hacer su voluntad Dios es micericordia y nos llama a arepentimiento y ha hacer su voluntad. no la nuestra.
MY THOUGHT ARE WITH YOU JONI,I BELIEVE IF PEOPLE DON 'S GIVE IN TO THE LORD, THEY WILL BE LOST. I LOVE TO PREACH WHAT GOD TELLS ME TO PREACH AND NOT WATER DOWN THE WORD.
Church leaders has been described as the head. Now, The body cannot be well unless the head is well. My the LORD help us as church leaders make up the good congregation body of Christ .
Chip, America needs to get on her knees for sure. We need to pray more. Although Isaiah is talking to Judah and Jerusalem, verse 1 we need to take heed. We need to be pointing the way to Christ as the way to freedom. Only He has the way to eternal life.
FOR JOHN 'S COMMENT: FAITH W O OBEDIENCE- FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN GOD. FOR WITHOUT FAITH YOU CAN 'T PLEASE HIM AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW MUCH AND MANY GOOD WORKS YOU DO.WHEN YOU ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT HE CAN DO WHATEVER YOU ASK HIM TO, WITH NO DOUBTING AT ALL. IT IS GREATER FOR YOU TO BE NOT ONLY OBEDIENT BUT ALSO WILLING. HE SAY IF YOU BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT YOU WILL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND. W O BEING OBEDIENT THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. BE BLESSED PLZ REFER TO- HEBREWS 11:6, ISAIAH 1:19-20.
Verse 7 makes me think of what America will be someday in the near future. We as Christians need to get on our knees and beg for foregivness and Gods grace and mercy
ISAIAH CHAPTER 1 1 15 15 10:00 PM In v16 The LORD God is still merciful unto them. As also written in ROMANS 3:23 6:23 2:7. If we walk unto the way of our Lord Jesus Christ we will attain the eternal life. Praise the LORD. a-MEN.
ISAIAH CHAPTER 1 1 14 15 10:17 PM In Verse 16 The LORD God is truely merciful, because even the people was gone away backward and rebelled against Him but still gave a chance. As HE saith 16 Wash you, make you clean put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes cease to do evil In ROMANS 3:23 saith For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God In ROMANS 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The same which the LORD God said to them And the same as now through Lord Jesus Christ we have an eternal life. As said in JOHN 3:16 and ROMANS 2:7. Praise the LORD, A-men.
Sin in the land brings destruction.Our God hates it.It spoils our relationship with our Father.He is a merciful father and always desires that we go back to Him through repentance for Him to restore us. If we continue disobeying,then His full wrath is unleashed to us.
I believe that God is speking to us telling us that if we turn from our bad waysand seek him he is willing to give us a second chance to do the right things in llife.he will bring about restoration.
According to my Bible, I do not get this that all are saved. Going to NT after Jesus, see Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God ". Vs. 18 is telling us that even though we have sinned, we can become cleansed.
Please brethren let us all try to get back to God s instructions and commands in verses 16, 17 and 18 of Isaiah chapter 1 to avoid God s anger and judgment on us in this last days.
In Isaiah 1 16 18, God gave some strong commands orders that needed to be obeyed. Wash you Make you clean Put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes Cease to do evils Learn to do well seek judgement relieve the oppressed Judge the fatherless plead for the widow Come now and let us reason together These commands orders are strong,aren 't they? God is not begging anyone to obey these orders He is saying you must obey them. Follow the orders exactly as God has given them in His Word. It is a matter of choice for you. The choice is yours to make. In verse 19 of the same chapter He said if ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. In verse 20 He also said that if you refuse and rebel, you will be destroyed. Where do you stand, my friend? Jesus said in John 14 15, "If ye love me, keep my commandment. " If you love Jesus, you will obey His word. On the contrary, if you are not obeying His word, then it is clear that you do not love Him. Where do you stand, my friend? Time is running out. The day is coming closer too closer time is moving on. Jesus is coming soon.
Judgment to His people, again Israel has rebelled. They ignore God 's commandments. They forsaken the land and permit foreigners to take the land and corruption is all that remains. "And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. " Surely God 's judgment will be upon His people. Repent before its to late. There is still hope God said "And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city " The end of time is at hand. Turn away from your sins and look up to the sky for God will come with all His Glory and save those who have waited for his coming.
