Isaiah was humbled by the holiness of God! Are you humbled by God’s holiness?

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted-up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1 NKJV

I had been through a season of sorrow and hardship. I was at a low point in my life. I was told I needed Jesus. The Spirit of the Lord came over me. I responded to the gospel. I gave my life to Jesus!

The first night of my new life God showed me my uncle Joe prayed for me. A few days later the Lord told me I needed to be baptized.

I went to church. I was caught up in worship. My hands went up. The words “I belong to my father in heaven” came out of my mouth. It was as if someone else was speaking them. I was overcome with peace and joy. A great burden was lifted from my soul!

I began telling people God is alive.

God has spoken to me many times over the years. Sometimes He speaks to me in the stillness of the night. Sometimes a word or idea takes center stage in the theater of my mind. Sometimes I am prompted to speak or act. My heart races until I obey.

I have often wondered why the Lord would speak to me. Why would He visit me? Why would God bless me? There is only one answer that makes any sense to me. God can do anything He wants anytime He wants!

God called me His servant. Why would the Lord do that? It pleases Jesus to love me. It pleases Jesus to love you. It pleases the Lord when we serve Him!

We include the people we love in everything we do. Jesus wants you to be a part of everything He is doing in the world today!

God is alive. Jesus wants to communicate with you. The Lord wants you to know that He is the God of Heaven and Earth. Jesus can do whatever pleases Him. It pleases Jesus to have relationship with you. It pleases Jesus to call you His servant.

Will you listen for the Lord’s voice today? When Jesus speaks will you respond in faith and obedience? When the Lord calls you to speak will you speak the words Jesus gives you to the people He sends to you?

Almighty God is sitting on His throne today. The Lord is high and lifted-up. The train of His robe fills creation. His holiness surrounds Him!

Isaiah was undone by the holiness of God. Isaiah confessed His sin. He stepped out in faith. We all sin. We all fall short of the glory of God. Not all of us are humbled by God’s holiness. All of us are called to serve Jesus. Not all of us submit to the lordship of Christ.

Will you surrender your heart and life to Jesus? Will you serve Jesus all the days of your life?

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Isaiah was humbled by the holiness of God! Are you humbled by God’s holiness?
