Isaiah 37:20-31 – “This will be your reminder that I have spoken the truth: This year you will eat what grows wild, and next year what grows on its own.  But the year after that you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce.  ³¹ Those who remain in Judah will take root in the ground and bear fruit.”

As I read, prayed, and meditated on the Word of God today, the reality and promise of the Last Days Outpouring filled my heart and mind.   Isaiah 35 gives a picture of that day!   Focus on the LORD enables us to trust Him in good and bad times.

In Isaiah 37, when Sennacherib threatened Hezekiah, the threats, coupled with historical facts, produced fear.  Hezekiah’s faith enabled him to respond appropriately.   He took the threat to God in repentance.  He reported the problem to God and then responded in intercessory prayer!

God’s Word through Isaiah was a word we need today: “Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.” Unless the root is strong and grounded, the fruit will be inadequate.

Hezekiah rested in and trusted God.  Isaiah 40:28-31 is powerful.   We see the attributes and provisions of God.  The things that make us unshakable!   Please read them!   Memorize them!   Embrace them!  Rest in them and remind the attacker of them!

God does not get tired and knows everything!   He gives His power to those who are weary.   He provides divine energy for those overwhelmed by the attacks.   If we put our trust in Him and focus on Him, we receive an infusion of divine power that enables us to soar like an eagle and have supernatural endurance and energy!   Power to prevail over all the hordes of hell.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-23 gives us a picture of the power of Lifestyle Christianity.  The end result is standing when the dust settles and total transformation!  You can’t kill a dead man, and we are dead to self but alive to God!

LORD, help our roots to go deep so that the shaking won’t shake us and break us.   Help us to have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to believe.   Help us to know,“This too shall pass, and when the storm passes over, we will still be standing!”

Lord help us to have roots that go deep and fruit that is abundant!
