You Are Predestined.
Yesterday in the Walk we talked about Jesus returning after the restoration of all things. Remember in Acts 3 it says this restoration is fulfilling everything that Yahweh said long ago through his holy prophets? One of those prophets is Isaiah. Today we will look at the description of the Kingdom of Yahweh and what He says the earth will look like in Isaiah 65.
“Look! I am creating entirely new heavens and a new earth! They will be so wonderful that no one will even think about the old ones anymore! As you wait for the reality of what I am creating, be filled with joy and unending gladness! Look! I am ready to create Jerusalem as a source of sheer joy, and her people, an absolute delight! I will rejoice in this new Jerusalem and find great delight in my people. You will no longer hear the sound of weeping or cries of distress. No baby will die in infancy there, and everyone will live out their full lifespan. For when centenarians die, they will be considered youngsters, and anyone who dies earlier will be considered of no account. People will build their own houses to live in, and they will not be taken over by someone else. They will plant their own vineyards to enjoy, and they will not be confiscated by someone else. They will live long lives, like age-old trees, and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest the work of their hands throughout their lives. They will neither work in vain for someone else, nor will their children face disaster for they will be children and grandchildren who are blessed by Yahweh. Before they even call out to me, I will answer them; before they’ve finished telling me what they need, I’ll have already heard. The wolf and the lamb will graze side by side, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, and the serpent’s food will be dust. There will be neither violence nor murder on my entire holy mountain of Zion,” says Yahweh.”
Most of us have been told this is what heaven will be when we get there but this is Heaven on Earth. How does a wolf and lamb graze side by side or a lion eat straw like an ox? The nature of the wolf and lion are changed. It’s hard to read this and believe it when the facts of the world staring us in the face are the opposite of what we read in Isaiah. Again, do you believe Jesus? When He said, I have all authority and now I am giving it to you, why did He give us His authority? To wait to die and go to heaven or bring the Kingdom of Yahweh to the Earth?
The earth is groaning for the revealing of the Beloved sons and Beloved daughters. Shouldn’t it be waiting for the return of Jesus instead, unless it knows something we haven’t quite believed YET! We are created in the image of Jesus. We’ve been given all of His authority for right now. The earth, our country, our state, our city, our neighbors, our family, and our children need the image of Jesus now.
So, why as Beloved ones are we not seeing what Jesus says is available? Could it be that we have given our authority away? When you come into agreement with a lie you give it your authority to exist and reign over you. Pastor Tim explained it well like this, “The enemy has no authority except what you and I give him. A lie only has power when you give it your authority over your life. So, when you read stuff like Isaiah 65 and say this can’t be, you’ve come into agreement with a false narrative. A delusional thought. Giving a false narrative or delusional thought your authority it then becomes the governing factor over your life.”
What do we want governing our lives? The Kingdom of Yahweh or a false narrative? That seems like a simple answer doesn’t it.
You have been predestined for life and life more abundant now. Abba says as the days of a tree so are the days of my people. He is waiting for you to come into agreement with Him. When we come into agreement with His voice in our everyday life, we get to bring the government of peace to those around us. This is how the wolf and lamb graze together. We begin to experience rest in our own souls and then it flows to those around us. You must surrender your life, your beliefs, your agenda to the voice and guidance of Jesus.
