Isaiah 65:17-25

Posted on by Wick

A pamphlet about New Creation
For God’s people still living in old
It may surprise some people today
No mention about streets of gold

The people of God are created
As a delight and sources of joy
No weeping shall be, nor cries of distress
And 100 years is still a young boy

His people build houses and vineyards
Able to enjoy every fruit
When we need Him near, he’ll be right here
Before His presence we recruit

The promise extends for generations
And the wolves will feed with the lambs
Together you’ll see natural enemies
Existing together in God’s plans

These are conditions we cannot muster
We cannot manufacture these things
No matter how many laws we can change
Or how beautifully our bands sing

But this is the heart of our Savior
Revealed in prophetic brochure
Unattainable for us, but not cast aside
His vision we cannot ignore

Each of us is able to join
In revealing this grand heart of His
For He later reminds us, that anyone in Christ
Old is gone, and New Creation is…

Isaiah 58:1-12

Posted on by Wick

I told them I’d love a pair of shoes.

She brought me buttered toast.

She said “I even spread it thick,

Because I love you most.”

I asked them for an umbrella

To protect me when it drips.

They gave me a new LEGO set

With little pirate ships.

I asked to see them work together

To show love can abound

They pushed and shoved each other back

To show the love they’d found.

We see the silliness herein

And smile at silly words.

We think of how such children would

Be really quite absurd.

Yet God has asked to “end injustice,

Give the hungry food to eat.”

And every year we smile and say

“We hear you – we give up sweets!”

May we be truly humbled 

By the way we miss the mark

But not into inaction –

May humility be the spark…

revival

Posted on by Wick

While we pray for Revival wherever we find ourselves, we also must be aware that often we use “waiting” as a way of staying comfortable. Meanwhile, the Spirit has been poured out and is on the move. Are we willing to humble ourselves, repent (turn away) of our false sources of life – and join what God is up to?
