Behold, God is My Salvation!/Min. Kayren
GOD reminded me of who HE is, and then He reminded me of who I am IN HIM...that was all I needed!
Read Isaiah 12:1-6 - I read it aloud until it got down in my spirit and I became one with it!
1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
Emphasize Isaiah 12:2 - “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.”
Verse 2 - read the definition of salvation (H2444) yeshuwa - deliverance, prosperity, victory, aid, help, saving health; that which is delivered safe
I started with a question (“is become”); example of getting the tetanus booster shot and how it has become my covering for another 10 years
Read the definition of trust (H982) and not be afraid (H6342); I recall Min. Janice’s teaching on 12/30/2019 from Psalm 27 "Trust in the Lord & Be Not Afraid" & Prophet Yvette on 1/2/2020 "Deliverance from Fear & Intimidation" & Prophet Yvonne on “Courage” 1/22/2020 - God is confirming His Word; thank you for the seed each of you planted! He’s using these lessons progressively and sequentially like building blocks to ensure we have a strong, solid, unshakable foundation in HIS Word.
Exodus 14:13-14
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Back to Isaiah 12: Verse 3 - For this reason, we can WITH JOY draw water from the wells of salvation
Verse 4 - Action words mean we must DO something
Verse 5 - Is your confidence mounting and building yet? GREAT is the Holy One of Israel IN THE MIDST OF THEE!
Then He took me to Psalm 3 because the Byron Cage song was in my spirit - Verse 3: “But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.”
I got excited by verses 5-8!
1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Finally, I got to Isaiah 43 and I was equipped and battle-ready!
Verse 5 - “Fear not: for I am with thee…”
Verses 10-17 describe the MAGNIFICENT POWER and awesomeness of who GOD is!
The big finish comes in verses 18-21:
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
After my time in His presence, I was so assured that provision is here - I went forth rejoicing and full of thanksgiving, confident from the confirmation received in His presence because He chose ME! And He has chosen YOU...so walk in your inheritance and YOU can say: BEHOLD, GOD is MY Salvation!
