Summary: You are not what they called you. You are who God says you are. Through Jesus, you’ve been renamed, restored, and repositioned.

Sermon Title: “You Will Be Called by a New Name”

Text: Isaiah 62:1–5, 10–12

Theme: Identity shift through salvation. From forsaken to favored, from tainted to treasured.

🙌 Introduction (Bridge from Part I)

In Part I, “The Watchman’s Call,” we answered heaven’s cry to take our place on the wall—to intercede, to war in the Spirit, and to never be silent.

But now the Lord is doing something deeper:

He’s not just giving you an assignment—He’s giving you a new identity.

Because to stay on the wall, you must know who you are.

You can’t pray like a warrior if you still see yourself as a victim.

You can’t war with power if you’re still wearing labels of shame.

And so tonight, God says:

“You will be called by a new name.”

📖 I. God Has Not Been Silent About You

Isaiah 62:1 – “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent…”

God never stopped speaking over you—

Even when you were silent.

Even when you were stuck.

Even when the lies were louder than the truth.

📣 His Word has been working behind the scenes—declaring your redemption, your healing, and your future.

You are not forgotten.

You are not discarded.

You are not finished.

🏷? II. You Will Be Called by a New Name

Isaiah 62:2 – “You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.”

This is not a nickname.

It’s not something man made up.

This is God Himself saying: “I am renaming you.”

Before salvation, we wore labels: ? Tainted

Rejected

Unworthy

Used

Abandoned

Many of you have been treated like tainted meat—discarded, misjudged, and declared “no longer fit for use.”

But the blood of Jesus speaks a better word.

And that Word says: ? Clean

Chosen

Loved

Restored

Delighted In

📖 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away…”

💬 Let this truth settle in your spirit:

You are not the wicked things they’ve called you.

You are not what they whispered in back rooms.

You are not the lie that became your label.

You can’t control what evil people say when they speak your name.

But you can rejoice in what God calls you.

Let them gossip. Let them speculate.

But heaven has the final word.

And heaven says: You are Mine.

💍 III. You Are Not Forsaken—You Are His Delight

Isaiah 62:4–5 – “No longer will they call you Deserted… but you will be called Hephzibah…”

🗝Hephzibah means “My delight is in her.”

Beulah means “Married”—joined in covenant.

This is wedding language.

This is God saying:

“I don’t just accept you.

I delight in you.”

You are not a burden.

You are not too broken.

You are not a mistake.

You are His bride. His joy. His possession.

📖 Zephaniah 3:17 – “He will rejoice over you with singing.”

IV. Salvation Renames You

Without Jesus, we were labeled by sin.

With Jesus, we are renamed by grace.

You’re not wearing this new name because you earned it—

You’re wearing it because He paid for it.

At the Cross:

Tainted became Clean

Broken became Beautiful

Deserted became Delighted

Sinful became Sanctified

📖 Isaiah 43:1 – “I have called you by name. You are Mine.”

🛤 V. Walk Like You Know Who You Are

Isaiah 62:10–12 – “Build up the highway… Say to Zion, ‘Your Savior comes!’”

The new name doesn’t just sit on you.

It pushes you forward.

When God renames you:

You walk in power

You walk in freedom

You walk in kingdom identity

You don’t beg for favor—you carry it.

You don’t chase acceptance—you have it.

🕊 Conclusion: Heaven Has Renamed You

The Cross didn’t just cleanse you.

It redefined you.

Because of Jesus:

You are no longer tainted meat.

You are no longer overlooked.

You are sought after, delighted in, and never forsaken.

📖 Isaiah 62:12 – “They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.”

You’ve been:

Renamed

Restored

Repositioned
