Isaiah 44 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 44.

Meditate on verses 6 and 8.

Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel

and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:

“I am the first and I am the last,

and there is no God besides Me.

Do not tremble and do not be afraid.

Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it?

And you are My witnesses.

Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock?

I know of none.”

Isaiah 44:9-20 talks about the foolishness and irrationality of trusting in idols, of putting your hope in anyone or anything besides Almighty God. A deceived heart turns you aside from trusting in the LORD. You think you can deliver yourself. You do not recognize what you are holding onto is a lie in your right hand (Isaiah 44:20). The only thing that should be in your right hand is the LORD’s hand: “For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you’” (Isaiah 41:13).

Pray the promises of Isaiah 44:3-5 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please pour out these promises on _______ and me today.

‘I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground.

I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring

and My blessing on your descendants;

And they will spring up among the grass like poplars by streams of water.

This one will say, “’I am the LORD’s;’”

And that one will call on the name of Jacob;

And another will write on his hand, “’Belonging to the LORD,’”

And will name Israel’s name with honor.’

In Your name, Jesus~”
