Actions of Sin
Isaiah 54:14-16 “In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. 16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy”
In these verses he is not only talking about being established in .. Works Righteousness .. when in fact he is talking about Faith Righteousness .. The one factor needed, that will not have a price tag, all we need to do, is believe and whole heartedly then His (our Lord’s) righteousness will be bestowed upon us. If you are not sure, then every Morning & Evening time just before you close your eyes to sleep, then I know you will be blessed in ways you will be confounded by. . repeat the following ..
# I am the Righteousness of God #
In the times of the ‘Old Testament’ people had to actually ‘earn’ their Righteousness, that was under the old Law of Moses, this only happened by their ‘works’, good deeds, keeping the Laws telling them .. What ..Where when & how things had to be done.
Here in V14 Isaiah was telling them that under Faith Righteousness sets you free of ..” oppression; fear; terror”. Once you have taken the seed of Faith, and planted into your heart, then let NO-ONE still it. Then Righteousness will bloom from the buds of the seed. Let it then become established just like a mighty Oak tree, that is now by Faith in Christ Jesus.
# I’m the Righteousness of God, by Faith in Christ Jesus #
Have you ever gone past where workmen are cementing a new pathway, and an animal or person has walked over the drying cement and left foot prints right the through, and dried before the workmen could correct it.
Establishing our Faith in God, is like writing your name in the wet cement, for when it dries it stays. Where as if you write your name in the sand, when the tide comes in it’s washed away, and have to write it again & again & again, as it is not permanent.
# I’m the Righteousness of God #
Proverbs 11:27 “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished” … This could be said or meaning your child with time to come back to Christ, or to be saved … Proverbs 10:6 -7 “Blessings are on the head of the righteous .. 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed” It is all well and good to go to Church on a Sunday, to even attend both services, to even go on Wednesday evening to Bible study. This all counts for nought if you don’t seek God the other 96hrs or 4 days of the week. Every Morning, not just when you feel like it, but I have to get the kids ready for School, make sandwiches (make them the night before just mum used to for us kids) .. School bag (night before) .. I don’t have time in the morning (get up 10 mins earlier .. is this sinking in yet? There is no obstacle you can’t over come, if you value your faith in God enough? Do you? We need, yes even me, to remind ourselves of this fact.
No matter what happens, no matter where it happens, in our lives always remember …
I am the Righteousness of God
I am established in the Righteousness
… always bear in mind that, all this is not by your own strength but it has been because of what Christ Jesus did, by His works. I have been made righteous by His sacrifice on the cross, for me, for you, for every Christian.
We need to say .. ‘I’m the Righteousness of God’ .. when …
When you have fought with your partner..
When you are in good times..
When your at peace..
When your up – or down – or level on the ground
In every situation & circumstance
… so from hence forth, that no matter what will be fall me, I shall remind the circumstance & situation .. I’m the Righteousness of God.
After saying this aloud to ones self, the devil is outside your front door, and is coming up with ways to test your metal. He is seeing that if your ‘actually-serious’ about your faith or not? Are you? Are you really or are you just playing, using the Church as a glorified ‘social-club’, which are you? Once, we can show, most assuredly the devil exactly how ‘Established’ you truly are the devil will move, so long as you don’t waver, because you’ll taste foul to him ...
Praise God in the highest
… When the devil comes down your street, looking for whom he can devour-still-rob, there will be demons at the bottom of your drive, telling the devil ways to make us turn away from God. The devil being arrogant goes in anyway, the other demons will warn him of you saying “well don’t say we did not warn you”.
Your seed of faith, should be planted in your heart, watch over it, nurture it, because it is more precious than Gold ~ Silver ~ Diamonds ... # I’m the Righteousness of God #
Romans 6:14-15 “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not”
Question … “How many of you , have become born-again Christian?” Out of those ‘Born-again’ have not committed sin? Like below or other …
Speeding, in your car, Motor-bike or Truck?
Cursed out someone?
Lied to someone?
Fornicated – Porn; strip club; on the web; etc.
Stolen something, accidental or not
… I hope Gods words are being heard, loud and clear …
#If you have honestly answered them, you need to have Gods word planted deep within you#
…(1) if your ’born-again’ and Established in righteousness, many of you will be aware where sin is in your life, don’t you? Yet there is sinning? (2) … How many of you that are ‘Born-again’ and have been made righteous have .. NOT .. sinned since you were born again in Christ?
The Bible tells us to know right and not to do it, sin that is, thats as simple as it gets.
