Isaiah 21 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 21.

Meditate on verse 10.

O my threshed people

 and my afflicted of the threshing floor!

What I have heard from the LORD of hosts,

 the God of Israel, I make known to you.

God gave Isaiah a harsh vision, which caused his loins to be full of anguish, for him to have pains like a woman in labor, and for him to be so bewildered and terrified he could not hear or see. Isaiah was overwhelmed with horror at the vision of God’s impending judgment.

The watchman in Isaiah 21 announces that morning is coming but also night. God’s final judgment is coming. It will bring morning for believers, but it will bring the darkest night to nonbelievers. The LORD’s judgment will be horrific for those who do not know Jesus.

Who has God placed in your life that is threshed and afflicted? Will they be in trembling, eternal darkness when Christ returns? Pray for God to give you the opportunity to make known to them what you have heard from the LORD of hosts.

Pray Isaiah 21:10 and 14 over yourself as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I want to bring water to

the thirsty and bread to the fugitive.

Jesus, You are the Living Water, the Bread of Life.

Give me the courage and the opportunity

 to say to the threshed and afflicted,

‘What I have heard from the LORD of hosts,

the God of Israel, I make known to you.’

In the name of Jesus~”
