Don't Wait Until The Battle Is Over, Shout Now

Isaiah 44:22 & 23

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord had done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the Lord has redeemed Jacob and glorified himself in Israel.

*** God has thrown our sins in the sea of forgiveness; he has removed them from the face of the earth. We know that willful sins weight us down; and God does not want us to be in bondage with the troubles of this world. He tells us to come back to him, return from our backslidden state and fellowship with him again. God wants this more than anything else. To be his chosen people and carry out his work because we are his; and we belong to him because he paid the price on calvary, amen.

***We should be praising God because he has not forgotten about or given us up. Many times he gives us different occassions to return from our wicked ways, and we take him for granted. Life is too short now to take any of God's blessings for granted: He woke us up this morning, clothed us in our right mind, put food on our table, put shelther over our head, and allowed us to live and enjoy a day that he made just for us, amen.


Isaiah 44:24

Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

*** God wants us to give him all the glory and praise for doing wonderful things for us. He is the one that has made us and not we ourselves. We should enter into all situations with praises in our mouth and be thankful unto him; because he is worthy to be praised. Praise him in your home, car, at work before we get to church. "Praise should be what we do." Don't wait until the battle is over, shout now.

*** God does not wait until we are out of sin; he blesses us in and through the sin. This is the reason we are able to get out of our sinful ways.


Don't wait until the battle is over - praise him through it.

Until we meet again soon.
