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~”
