Do You Know My King?

If you have been born again, you will love what God has to say to you this morning.

Isaiah 41:8-9, "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away."

God chose you, he called you by name, you went through the struggle and now your name is changed. Your name isn’t just Bill, or George, or Bob, but now you have new name. Your King Bill, King George, King Bob, and you are all son’s and daughters of God and priests unto your Lord forever. God looked down upon the sea of humanity and picked you out of the crowd. He picked you out of the miry clay, set your feet on the Rock, and made you His own. That’s why you serve Him today with love, because of what He has done for you!

That same King, who chose you, called you by name and lifted you out of that old life of sin has great things in store for you.

Isaiah 41:10, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Don’t be afraid of the evil that seems to prevail, because it’s all an illusion, a deception of the devil. Evil will never prevail. My King has never lost a battle and when the dust clears, evil will be forever banished. Jesus has already overcome the world and we shall also overcome, through Him. Don’t allow the devil to lie to you and make you believe that your struggles are all for nothing. Don’t let him deceive you into believing that he is winning this battle between good and evil. He is already a defeated enemy, he just won’t quit fighting until he is forced to, and that day is coming soon.

Your King has you in His own Hand. Your Father in Heaven is holding you up, supporting you, bracing you against every storm that life can throw at you, and He will not fail you.

Isaiah 41:11-13, "Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of naught. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."

So what if the world is fighting against you! So what if it seems that the whole world sometimes seems to be conspiring to bring you down! So what if your friends turn against you with the venom of a poisonous viper! So what if you family won’t even try to understand you! So what if your co-workers shun you! So what if your neighbors turn against you! God says that all of them will see the day come when their efforts to oppose you will be confounded and they will have to stand before YOUR KING and answer in shame for all that they have tried to do to stop you.

The Book of Revelation tells us that when we all get to Heaven, God is going to wipe away every tear, every heartache, every bad memory and you will remember all of the struggles and battles, all of the hate and turmoil, no more! You won’t find those enemies anymore. All of those who fought against you will be no more and the pain of those battles will be forever forgotten.
