Isaiah 40 "The work Has been Completed"

Jean rock.

To us. So you will you rot mynd tonight what

you depp the jeans of the name on.

It, and.

Call hands are raising worship hands, a raised in worship.

Hands are raised in worship hands, A raised now to hope.

Hand's a rayed smells golf.

Just look at somebody telling that's no guarden like our gold.

He's excellent in everything he world that he does. So

come on, tell the neighbors and let the heel of work.

Isaiah, chapter forty. You will find these words comfort comfort.

My people, says your God.

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaimed to her that her

heart's service has been completed, that her sin has been

paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand

double for all her sins.

A voice of.

One calling in the desert place, prepare the way for

the Lord makes straight in the wilderness.

A highway for our God.

Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and heal

mad Lord, and the rough ground shall become.

Level, the rugged places plain.

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and.

All mankind will see it together. For the mouth of

the Lord has spoken.

Just look at a neighbor and say neighbor, the work

has been complete. Come on, look at another neighbor and say, neighbor,

the work.

Has been complete.

Find one more neighbor, Say neighbor, the work is.

Complete, Isaiah writes here. In chapter forty, Isaiah is depicted

upon us as a small bible, having sixty six chapters.

Isaiah some how begins to deal with Israel because Israel

has forgotten about God.

He tries to bring Jerusalem to the place.

Where people have watched her and walk past her, never

ever being concerned about her brokenness.

It is Isaiah as a prophet, or the prophet isaiahs

who picks up his pen to write to Jerusalem, to

say them, at the completion of the Lord's hand, God

has seen your affliction, and now He's ready to do

something new. Thirty nine chapters that deal with the justment

of God and the hand of God. But then in

chapter number forty, which deals with preparation, the completeness, and

the process of God, Isaiah the prophet explains that there

is about.

To be a turnaround. Can you help me preach?

Look at a neighbors, say, it's about to be a

turnaround in your life. God says, I'm trading your beauty

for ashes, the all of joy for morning. And I'm

getting ready now after thirty nine chapters, to flip the

switch that folks thought would never turn.

After judgment.

He brings comfort because he declares in chapter forty, not

just one time, but twice. Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people,

saith the Lord. I've seen your affliction, and I'm getting

ready to turn some stuff that has been turned in

your favor. It is in Isaiah six that Isaiah explains

to us that it was in the year that us.

Hyah died that I saw the Lord.

He was high and lifted up, and his train filled

the temple. The train denotes the victory of a conqueror,

because after every trial that a person went through, whenever

a war was lost, you would take the train of

your opponent. Isaiah is showing us in chapter six that

God has won on the battle, that he has gone in.

And followed the rules.

Isaiah shows us that we have a God who is

not only a conqueror, but he's more than a conqueror,

and he has captured the victory for us.

Shut And I came this.

Morning in my fifteen minute preach not to tell somebody

it looks like things are going awright, and it looks

like things are going crazy. But can you shake hands

with a neighbor and say nay not. God has shut

captured our victory.

Not his saying has felled the temple. Look, he has

one again.

And I've come to tell somebody that because he's one, nothing,

you've won. Because he's victorious, Shut your victorious shut. Because

he is an overcoming God. We are overcomer. Shut. Because

he has captured our righteous ness.

Shut.

I've come to tell the church shut that as we

look at a symbol of victory. Help, God says, I'm

closing one chapter. Help about I'm beginning another. Help And

I don't care what you've been accustomed to. God sends

me this morning to declare, just like Isaiah declares, shut,

that the work has to begin with it. So God

has to stress us shut. And I've come to tell

somebody in this house up.

God's been stressing you. God's been pulling on you. What

God's been waiting on you.

But I've come to declare in this house shut, that

the weight is over.

Your breath. Your test now comes to a.

Complete because the redemptive work of Christ Shut has now

been completed. Sometimes God has to allow us to go

through some stuff. But I've come this morning to declare

in this house shut, God says, Shut.

I put you through the test, but the test is over.

Get ready, because sup the whole creation has been waiting

until man, waiting for the manifestation of the sons. Young God,

I've seen your flixer, I've seen your tears.

Shut, I've seen your her help. Can you touch at

least three neighbors shut?

As I come to a close, Shut, Tell those three

neighbors shut, and it's over.

Hat. You pass the test.

Shut, And I've come to assha. Are you ready for

the blessing hat. His blessing ht is healing hat. His

blessing he is deliverance shut. His blessing hat is victory het.

His blessing hat is an overcoming blessing hat.

His blessing help is a miracle working. His blessing is.

An answer to your problems. I've come this morning to

tell this house that Jesus says you're missing has been accomplished.

I've seen the hern I've seen the pain, I've seen

the tears. Now it's time for us to exauce. Now

it's time for you to celebrate. What we're gonna celebrate.

I'm gonna celebrate that what they inter have been meant

for evil, God always makes it work.

From my pool.

I'm gonna celebrate that we know in all things God

steal works miracles. I'm gonna celebrate I've been saying, but

God has given me a new result. God has given

me a braid of victory. What we're gonna celebrate, I'm

gonna celebrate that the Lord still lives, that the Lord

still raise, that the Lord still brings folks out of Trumper.

I'm gonna celebrate that things were dark, things were ugly,

things were crazy, But I come to tell her go

back to work on Monday morning, Go back to work

on Tuesday morning, and declaim my whole world is turning

because I pass. I pass and tests. I passed it. Honey,

how do you pass it? I past it because in

the midst of calamity, hot, in the midst of trouble. Hut,

my Lord, how to be be much soure? What is maturity?

David said it. I will bless the law at all times.

His craze shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall.

Make her boss up in the law hut be able,

he shall here thereof and be glad. But there's an

imitation hope at the end of maturity hun.

Ah all oh the fire. The Lord with me let

us result his name. The Captain of closes, uncloses, But

look at a neighbor, the same neighbor.

I've been in the season of trouble, but don't look

for me where I was. I've been in the season

of morning, but don't look for me where I was.

Tell your neighbor and were out of here.

I move from my old place, I move from my

old prince.

I got a hole, new way of living, the.

Lord. The Lord.

The Lord says it like this. Don't go back to

usual because usual.

Won't fit anymore. Somebody's gonna get it in the car.

Don't go back to.

What you were used to because what you were used

to won't fit any longer. Some of y'all are gonna

I'm gonna make.

You nervous because some of y'all are used to being

around the same people.

The Lord says. Don't even go back to the.

Same folk, because the same folk.

Are not gonna fit where I have pulled you to.

True of the manas you gotta get uncomfortable.

Being comfortable, because God says, I'm getting ready to take

you right in the midst of those who talked about you,

who mistreated you, who laughed at you.

What's the song they.

Whispered, They conspire, they called your name, but God kept

favoring you. Isaiah chapter forty.

It's your sid I'm stopping. I'm stopping at for real, Isaiah.

Chapter four. Is the calling of God that says to

you that while you're praying asking me.

To change somebody else, I don't always change somebody else.

Sometimes I change you. Sometimes I reconditioned you. Sometimes you think,

according to your human limitations, I can't take anymore. I've

come to tell at least one hundred folk. Under the

sound of my voice, God says, I've switched you so

that what you thought you could not handle, you're gonna

handle that and much more. But while you're handling it,

I'm gonna give you an annointed somebody out to say,

Lord annot me for this place, because there's no use

of the Lord taking us to next if he doesn't

anoint us for that place.

And the only.

Reason why you haven't been destroyed in this place is

because God was annoying you for your next. But since

God has annoyed you for your next, that means go

through it. And no matter what happens, God's going to

help you to bear it. Can you, for the last

time shake a neighbor by the hand to tell him, neighbor,

God has given you enough strength to bear whatever comes.

You can take it. You can make it. You will

be a normalcomer.

You're gonna be more than a conquer because God has

already purcastick. God has already purpose that greater is about

to come in. Clap your hands all in this place.

God says, I'm switching it. I'm switching it. I'm standing it.

But I'm giving you the grace to bear it. So

he says in Isaiah, Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people.

Tell them their warfare is over, and I can I

pronounce in your life? Doubles get ready to show up,

Doubles getting ready to Can I make this announcement over

the same of God, Doubles getting ready to come to

your house?

Why are the folks are in?

Like?

God says, double costn't give you a double.

For every life?

Jobbo for afrid trouble Jobo forever pain in life Jobo.

So with that, can I give you instructions?

First instructions. They have a saying in the world.

They said, friends don't let friends drive drunk. I think

we need to adapt that in the church, but we

need to switch it up. Friends don't let other friends

praise because if I know what you've been through, I'm

gonna praise you because I believe God's about to send

the double.

What the enemy meant.

For evil, God's gonna turn it around and make it

for your good.

So I learned how to praise him on your back hand.

I may not know every detail, but I know how

to praise for what's coming.
