Knowing God - The Lord Speaks Strongly




Isa 8:11
For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

The Lord Speaks Strongly

The Lord was speaking to Isaiah in a very strong and authoritative way.  Our God is God.  He has the right to make a stand and speak as One who has authority because He is the One from whom all authority is given.   Isaiah was being warned to not go along with all of the people who were deciding to align themselves with pagan nations to protect themselves against marauding forces.  God spoke strongly to Isaiah and warned him NOT to follow the cultural pattern.  When most people around us are choosing something other than trusting and living for God, God will speak strongly to His people to come out from among them and be separate.  This weighty word is meant to press on us with greater weight than the weight of peer or cultural pressure.  Don’t be afraid of the weighty words of the Lord.  Receive them.  God will speak and it is a privilege to hear Him.  Let the weight of His warnings speak great love and care to you and OBEY!
