THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW!
ISAIAH 43: 1-2, 18-19
There is a:
I. PRINCIPLE WE NEED TO REMEMBER!
A. Personal DIFFICULTIES are UNAVOIDABLE!
Isaiah 43: 2 “WHEN” you pass through the waters . . . ”WHEN” you walk through the fire . . .
B. Personal DESTINIES are UNSTOPABLE!
Isaiah 43: 2 When you “PASS THROUGH” the waters, I will be with you and THROUGH the rivers, they will not overflow you and when you WALK THROUGH the fire, you will not be scorched!
1) I have CREATED you!
43: 1 But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator. . .
2) I have REDEEMED you!
43: 1 Do not fear, for I have redeemed you!
3) I have CALLED you!
43: 1 I have called you by name; you are Mine!
There is a:
II. PROCESS WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE!
A. Our PROBLEMS must be RELEASED!
Isaiah 43: 18 Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past!
B. Our PROMISES must be RECEIVED!
Isaiah 43: 19 Behold, I will do something new!
Psalm 102: 13 You will arise . . . for the “TIME” to favor her, yes the “SET” time, has come!
