Isaiah 28 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 28.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/28/1/s_707001

Meditate on verse 15.

Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,

and with Sheol we have made a pact.

 The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by,

for we have made falsehood our refuge

 and we have concealed ourselves with deception.”

This is a powerful chapter from God’s Word. God addressed people who, in their pride, made covenants with death instead of the God of Life. They were deceived and full of lies; they thought they could escape God’s judgment. They were so overcome with wine and strong drink they were reeling, and their tables were full of filthy vomit without a single clean place (Isaiah 28:7-8).

Without being in a saving covenant relationship with Jesus Christ, your life is nothing more than confusing, staggering, and vomit filled. Why would anyone choose to make a covenant with death when God offers everyone the covenant with LIFE through Christ Jesus the LORD?

Pray Isaiah 28:21, 26, and 29 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7) to put an end to the covenant of death in your lives.

“LORD, rise up and be stirred up to do your task,

Your unusual task, and to work Your work,

Your extraordinary work in ___________ and me. 

Instruct and teach us properly. 

Your counsel is wonderful and Your wisdom is great.

In Your name, Jesus~”

Isaiah 27 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 27.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/27/1/s_706001

Meditate on verse 5.

Or let him rely on My protection.

Let him make peace with Me.

Let him make peace with Me.

Isaiah 27 tells you about the future destruction of the serpent/ dragon (Satan, see Revelation 12:9; 20:2, 10), God’s forgiveness and restoration of Israel, and the gathering of people from the nations to worship Him. It is exciting to read and think about end time prophecies. It is also sobering because like the dragon, the end of time will be a day of destruction for those who do not know the LORD.

Pray Isaiah 27:5 and 9 over those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I pray for _______________ to come to You

to forgive their iniquity.

Jesus, thank You for paying

 the full price for pardoning their sin.

May they rely on Your protection.

Let them make peace with You.

Let them make peace with You.

In Your name, Jesus~”

Isaiah 26 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 26.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/26/1/s_705001

Meditate on verses 3-4.

The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace

 because he trusts in You.

 Trust in the LORD forever, for in God the LORD,

we have an everlasting Rock.

In Isaiah 26:3, steadfast means to lean upon, brace yourself, rest yourself. God promises perfect peace to those who rest upon Him. Would you describe yourself as a person who leans and rests on God? Do you trust in yourself to accomplish tasks or do you trust in the LORD? Isaiah confesses in verse 12, “LORD, You will establish peace for us, since You have also performed for us all our works.”

Keep your mind steadfast on the LORD today. Recognize it is Christ in you who performs all your works.

Pray Isaiah 26:7-9 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:7-9).

“LORD, make ________ and me righteous and may we say:

‘The way of the righteous is smooth;’

O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.

Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O LORD,

we have waited for You eagerly;

Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.

At night my soul longs for You,

indeed my spirit within me seeks You diligently;

for when the earth experiences Your judgments,

the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

In Your name, Jesus~”

Isaiah 25 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 25.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/25/1/s_704001

Say verse 1 to your LORD.

O LORD, You are my God;

 I will exalt You,

I will give thanks to Your name;

For You have worked wonders,

plans formed long ago,

with perfect faithfulness.

Isaiah 25 is a sigh of relief. God is in control! His plans were formed long ago in perfect faithfulness. His plans will prevail!

This chapter of Isaiah gives you a glimpse into some of God’s future plans: the silencing of the ruthless, a lavish banquet being prepared for you and all believers, the swallowing up of death for all time, the LORD Himself wiping away your tears ... Reread these precious 12 verses of Isaiah 25 and rest in God’s promises.

Pray Isaiah 25:9 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7). You will be saying the very words you are going to say that day you see the LORD face to face.

“LORD, please bring ___________

 into a saving relationship with You,

so together we will say,

 ‘Behold, this is our God for whom

we have waited that He might save us. 

This is the LORD for whom we have waited;

 Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.’

In Your name, Jesus~”

Isaiah 24 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 24.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/24/1/s_703001

Meditate on verses 4 and 5.

The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers,

the exalted of the people of the earth fade away.

 The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants,

 for they transgressed laws, violated statutes,

broke the everlasting covenant.

Isaiah 24 gives a vivid description of God’s coming judgment on all the inhabitants of the earth who do not know Him as LORD and Savior. “Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left” (Isaiah 24:6).

The party is over in verses 7-13; the worldly party will end and glorifying the Righteous One will fill the earth (Isaiah 24:14-16). Isaiah 24 is a great chapter to share with people about the coming wrath of God; the only way of escape is through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Pray Isaiah 24:16 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let ______ and me be singing this song,

‘Glory to the Righteous One.’

In Your name, Jesus~”

Isaiah 23 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 23.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/23/1/s_702001

Meditate on verse 9.

The LORD of hosts has planned it,

to defile the pride of all beauty,

to despise all the honored of the earth.

Isaiah 23 was addressed to Tyre, present-day Lebanon.  Read Ezekial 28 for a description of the king of Tyre, the ultimate example of pride. 

This chapter concludes the oracles, the burden God has for people who refuse to acknowledge Him.  Isaiah 13-23 teaches you these things:

1.     God reigns supreme.

2.     God has and will judge the nations that have oppressed Israel.

3.     The nations will bow and bend the knee to the LORD.

4.     Do not look to world powers or fear them.

5.     Fear God.

Use Isaiah 23:9, 12, and 18 to pray for the humility God desires in your life as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I do not want to exult in myself. 

You defile the pride of beauty

and despise the honored of the earth.

I want to dwell in Your presence, Lord.

In Your name, Jesus~”

Isaiah 22 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 22.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/isa/22/1/s_701001

Meditate on verses 5a and 11b.

For the Lord God of hosts has a day of panic,

subjugation, and confusion in the valley of vision. 

But you did not depend on Him who made it,

nor did you take into consideration

 Him who planned it long ago.

Isaiah 22 is a prophecy concerning Jerusalem that was fulfilled over 2,500 years ago. The LORD made sure it was written down for you to take to heart today. The people of Jerusalem depended on weapons, resources, and other people to meet their needs instead of depending on God. They refused to repent and return to the LORD. It resulted in panic, confusion, and destruction.

History does not have to repeat itself in your life. Are you in the process of creating a vision for your future? Have you taken into consideration Him who already has the plan for your life and will reveal it to you if you depend on Him? If you are experiencing a day of panic and confusion, repent and turn to the LORD for His vision.

Pray for yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7) to have the opposite of an Isaiah 22:11-13 attitude.

 “LORD, remove the attitude from ________ and me of

‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’

May we come to You in repentance

as You call us to weeping and wailing over sin in our lives. 

LORD, we depend on You. 

We want to live Your plan for our lives.

In Your name Jesus~”
