That You May Say To The Prisoners, Go Out! To Those Who Are In Darkness, Show Yourselves! They Shall Feed In The Ways, And Their Pastures Shall Be In All High Places. They Shall Not Hunger Nor Thirst; Nor Shall The Heat Nor Sun Strike Them; For He Who Has Mercy On Them Shall Lead Them; Even By The Springs Of Water.
Isa 49:9,10
Even after my salvation, for a long time, I was under the false impression that I have to work out my salvation by doing exercises of penance, mortification etc. In other words, by my activities, I have to please God and qualify myself. The Lord showed me the folly in it.
Jesus Christ by His death and resurrection, completed our salvation. Nothing has to be added to it.
The only thing we have to do is “Look to Him and believe in Him”
“They looked to Him, and were filled with light; and their faces were not ashamed”.
Psa 34:5
“But even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:14,15
Jesus Christ was lifted up to such heights by God the Father, above everything and every name on this earth, so that everybody can see Him.
Anybody who looks to His face, will radiate with the light on His face.
He will be delivered from all kinds of imprisonments.
We, all Adam’s descendants are born prisoners to death and eternal destruction.
Heb 2:15 ‘…..and deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage’.
Many believers, even after their salvation, are sitting in prisons (of despair, depression, sickness, discouragement, loss of hope, etc).
Why don’t you come out? You can just show identity card “Believer of Jesus Christ” to the watchman (satan) at the door and walk out.
Your duty is just to inform your people that
Your punishment period is over.
Heavenly Father, the Judge, quashed your case
You need not be in prison anymore.
Come out and show yourself to others.
The prison cells of satan in India are full today. Even those whose punishment periods are over, are still held up in prison because nobody informed them of their deliverance. How sad!
We have to go and tell them, ‘……Go out! To those who are in darkness, Show yourselves!’Isa 49:9,10 Inside the prison they are dying hungry; there is no proper food (Word of God) No water to drink (Holy Spirit) No shade for sun; The heat affects them and There is no proper shepherd to take care of them. After coming out, “They shall feed in the ways, Their pastures shall be in all high places where there is sufficient grass They shall not hunger nor thirst; Nor shall the heat nor sun strike them; He (Jesus) who has mercy on them shall lead them; even by the springs of water. What a joy! All our homes should experience this joy! Let us make all the homes in India fill with this joy!
