Relationship begins with the seed of faith, fruit comes with persevering. Prayer is a lifestyle of relationship not just the hour or five minutes you spent focusing on God specifically to pray. The rain is salvation and we are all the 5 children of God's desire that have been born to the One like God who was God. Evangelise and guard your heart because it's a war. Evangelism is killing the enemy and guarding your heart is staying alive.
I surely do! But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings, like eagles, they shall run, and not be weary and they shall walk, and not faint. ISH 40:31 Awesome teaching!!
Isaiah 28:11 is about a mocking voice in a foreign language that God will speak to His people with, because the priests and the prophets were all filling their tables with vomit instead of the truth of God's word. It's a prophecy of Assyria defeating the northern tribes or maybe using them as a warning for Judah because they were astray from God because of false teaching and the general sinfulness that it caused. Not a great choice of scripture to support the Pentecostal understanding of tongues. I'm charismatic , but this is why I'm not Pentecostal. I love this guy, his teaching is generally great, but who taught you about the book of Isaiah? I'm not even a pastor but I figured that out in about 5 minutes by reading the context. Don't just read the english translation, check the meaning of the original text
Yes, there is a historical context of Isaiah 28. This passage of Scripture is also prophetic, which means there is an initial message, a future fulfillment, and a final fulfillment. Paul himself references Isaiah 28:11 in his discourse on the gift of tongues in 1 Corinthians 14:21. Correct Bible interpretation has nothing to do with denominational alignment, and neither does this use of this passage. We are not pulling things out of thin air, making connections where we want them to be made. The first rule of Bible interpretation is "Let Scripture interpret Scripture." israelmyglory.org/article/the-connection-of-isaiah-2811
Such a wonderful testimony of what it means to love people out of obedience and love for our Lord. Very helpful picture of what we are to abide inside when receiving Heaven here like a child.
I'm a witness, I love to hear the story because I know what God did. And what He's still doing. It's heart wrenching and overwhelming me with deep gratitude.
