ISAIAH 6 HEBREWS 10 COLOSSIANS 2

“But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 NIV

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is Love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God and God in him.” 1John 4:16 NIV

“Our creator is an artist of infinite majesty-a craftsman of breathtaking detail. All he does is driven and guided by his infinite love for you and me.”

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” ~ A.W. Toze

Plerophoria

Do I want to keep pretending that I know who God is? Or, Do I want to start playing for real?

AHA! Awakening. Humility. Action.

Our full assurance and confidence in God is the foundation for our biblical faith. When we actively live out plerophoria, it is not blind trust or an unknowable leap in the dark, rather, it’s our full assurance and confident trust in an eternal God who loves us.

“Love is the loftiest preference of one person to another and spiritually Jesus demands that this sovereign preference be for Him.” ~Oswald Chambers

AHA!

1 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. ISAIAH 6:1-4 NIV

3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the L ORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. ISAIAH 6:1-4 NIV

Psalm 89:6-7 NIV “For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.”

ISAIAH 40:18 NIV “To whom, then, will you compare God? What image will you compare him to? vs 25b “Who is my equal? Says, the Holy One.”

9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ ISAIAH 46:9-11 NIV

11 From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. ISAIAH 46:9-11 NIV

ISAIAH 6:5a NIV “Woe to me!” I cried.

ISAIAH 6:5b NIV “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

ISAIAH 6:6-7 NIV 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

ISAIAH 6:8 NIV 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

WHEN ISAIAH TRULY UNDERSTANDS WHO GOD IS, HE RECEIVES HIS COMMISSION AND HIS LIFE IS FOREVER CHANGED.
