Jesus Is GOD!

This scripture ended the prayer I posted yesterday.  I read it today and it really blessed my soul.  I hope it will bless yours.

Isaiah 12:2-end.

v-2.  Behold, God is my salvation;

*Notice it says GOD (EL) is my salvation.  God is specific and salvation is specific.  Jesus is our savior, the bringer of our salvation.  This verse shows that our salvation (Jesus) is not just Lord but GOD!

I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song;

*What I love about the verse above is that it says that "Yah Yahweh" is my STRENGTH and my SONG.  Whose song are you singing?  I showed through scripture yesterday that Satan was God's cherub of music and worship before he fell.  He was the COVERING cherub who covered the throne of God.  It is vital that we limit our music to those songs that glorify God and the Spirit of God.  When we sing and glorify sexual passions and the works of the flesh we glorify the fallen cherub Lucifer.

he also is become my salvation.

*That one phrase should excite and fascinate you.  He has BECOME my salvation.  Jesus has always been "I AM."  He has always been the pre-existent one.  He BECAME our salvation when he became flesh, dwelt among us, then gave His life and rose from the dead to become our savior.

v-3.  Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

v-4.  And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

*Isn't it wonderful that the Holy Spirit has come to give us wells of water?  Jesus asked the woman at the well of Samaria for a drink.  That prompted an entire discourse where He eventually told her that if she would but ask Him, He could give her wells of water that NEVER run dry.  Like Israel, she thought He was speaking about liquid water and not spiritual refreshment (John 4:10-14).

v-5.  Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

v-6.  Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:

for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Notice it says in verse 6 that we should cry out out and shout for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.  Doesn’t this sound a lot like this:

Matthew 28:18-20 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  GO YE THEREFORE, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Have a blessed day beloved.
