ISAIAH, CHAPTER 16, VS 1-3
SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 16, VERSES 1&2
“16 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 16, VS 1-2
v. 1– God sent us the Lamb, and when we listen to Him alone, we will truly know Him and be in His Perfect Will.
v. 2– Those that wander from the nest (church denomination without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ) and seek the Lord personally, and work for Him in The Spirit, with the Spiritual Body of Christ (Spiritual Church) can truly do His work without hindrance of Tradition or influence from other people who see things with the mind and emotion instead of purely in the Spirit.
SCRIPTURE:CHAPTER 16, VS 3
“3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. “
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 16, VERSE 3
v. 3– The Lord instructs His Spirit-filled followers to take HIS counsel, and–pray always—(the word for executing judgment also means to pray.) We are to “make our shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday”. He wants us to go among the people and cast our shadow (His shadow) upon the people and shelter them from the heat of satan’s dominance in their lives and in the organized churches.
God will not favor us because of our religious denomination. GOD IS NOT RELIGIOUS!! He is Spiritual, and so should His people be.
Religion is a set of rules which people follow and feel they are pleasing God. This is not His plan for His people! Many “religious” Christians will look down upon a Christian who detaches himself from an organized church to be only a member of the Body of Christ and be Spiritually connected with the rest of His Body. This verse says not to betray the one who wandereth. That person is truly following his way with the Holy Spirit!
