Eye-Opener #4 ~ Isaiah Saw the World

Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8

Focus: Isaiah 6:8

 In the presence of God Isaiah heard God’s heartbeat for a lost and dying people. He heard God’s summons for a messenger to reach out to give them truth. God said: Whom shall I send, who will go for us? And immediately without doubt, fear, or pausing, Isaiah says, HERE Am I, SEND ME!  Had Isaiah not gotten a true glimpse of who God was he might not have been so willing to go for Him.  When you truly get an understanding of who God is, you’ll have a true understanding of what your purpose is on the Earth.  People who have been in the presence of God are active in their gifts.  They take authority over demonic forces that try to oppress their territory.  They are not complacent but they stand boldly for God.

Would God call a sinful man to preach His message? Would God call a man or woman of unclean lips?   Who else is there?   He has not committed His glorious gospel to sinless angels, but to fallen men. But God sends us ONLY after we’ve been cleansed of our sins by His grace. The message of God must be spoken through purged lips. The work of God must be poured from clean vessels.

Isaiah did NOT say, “Where do you want me to go?” “What’s in it for me?” “What is the salary?” “What are the retirement benefits?” Isaiah signed a blank check on his whole life. He didn’t try to strike a bargain with God; he didn’t attempt to negotiate a compromise. God called - Isaiah answered. God commanded - Isaiah obeyed. Such an unconditional response comes only from the heart of one who has SEEN THE VISION: the one who’s MET WITH GOD.

Right there where you are, ask the Holy Spirit to shine His light upon your life and reveal every hidden sin. Ask God to illuminate every sin of pride, malice, un-forgiveness, hatred, witchcraft, fornication, adultery, complacency, unfaithfulness, anything that is not like Him ask him to illuminate it and purge it from your life in the name of Jesus. You’ve got to give it to him.  Quit trying to hold on to things that are hindering your worship, things that are hindering you from being the person God birthed you into the earth to be.   Sin is a sign of rebellion. Ask God to purge and purify you in the name of Jesus.  Uzziah must die! Realize you’ve got to let Uzziah die.  Let him, her, it go!  Let Uzziah die!  If you really want Uzziah to die you have to first see the Lord.   Then you have to open your life before the Lord. Tell Him who you are; tell Him what you are thinking about, be sincere with yourself and with God, so that God can touch you today. He already knows your every action and thought.  What can you hide from God?  He created all things.  Where can you go that He can’t find you? 
          Don’t take this message lightly and not allow God to touch your life. There is anointing to break every yoke of sin.  There is an anointing that destroys the bondage of bad habits.  There is an anointing that will remove every cataract from your spiritual eyes so that you can see yourself as God sees you, so that you too can say that you have seen the Lord.
