Given up by men, raised by God (II)

How Do You Benefit From This Great Sacrifice?

Isaiah asks in Isaiah 53:1, “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?”

To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Those who believe the report of the prophets! How do I access the power of God for my freedom? By believing in the Word of God and trusting in His finished work!

All bondages come by believing a lie. And believing the truth is your only guarantee of liberty.

The arm of the Lord is revealed only to those who believe the report of the preachers and the prophets.

The first thing Jesus said he was anointed to do was to preach the gospel. It is through preaching that men can hear and believe. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. To neglect the word is to forfeit your breakthrough. Get tapes and listen to them constantly. When faith develops in you, the arm of God is revealed in your life and situation.

What Happens When The Arm Of The Lord Is Revealed?

1. God’s counsel, God’s promises are fulfilled. Act 4:28, “For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.” God’s hand is only released to perform His word.
2. God’s power is released. Exodus 32:11,“11And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?” Luke 22:69, “Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.” If you want God’s power, believe God’s word.
3. Redemption takes place when the Lord lays bare or reveals His arm. “The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.” Isaiah 52:10. This is the hour of your redemption! Deliverance takes place whenever God stretches out His arm. Whenever God stretches out His arm, signs and wonders take place. “And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.” Deuteronomy 26:8. Whenever God stretches our His arm, He takes over your battles. He is taking over your battles right now! Your enemies are paralyzed with fear. Exodus 15:16, “Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.” Fear is coming upon all your enemies right now!
4. God’s enemies are judged and punished. “And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.” Act 13:11
5. Bondage is terminated and freedom obtained. Exodus 6:6, “Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments.”
6. Creation and restoration take place. Great works are done by the Lord. Jeremiah 27:5, “I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.” Jeremiah 32:17, “17Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:”
7. Healing takes place and wonders are performed. Act 4:30, “By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.” Matthew 8:3, “And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” One touch healed Peter’s mother-in-law. Mat 8:15, “And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.”
8. Hopeless situations are reversed. The dead are raised. Matthew 9:25, “But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.” Every hopeless situation in your life is reversed. Every good thing the devil has killed in your life is coming back alive today in Jesus name.
9. There is divine rescue. Matthew 14:31, “And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” you will not fall! You will not fail! The Lord’s hand is stretched towards you for your rescue.
10. Favour is releases and success is guaranteed. “Matthew 14:31, And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”
11. Divine promotion comes by the hand of the Lord. Act 5:31, “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour…”
12. Divine guidance. Hebrews 8:9, “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.”

It is your hour of complete restoration! God will turn things around for you and the enemy will not be able to destroy you or your testimony, in Jesus name! Whatever conspiracy the enemy is hatching against you will collapse completely in Jesus name! God will humiliate your haters in Jesus name!
