Isaiah 55.come and buy wine,

[Wakeup]

AN INVITE FROM YOUR GOD:

Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Isaiah 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Isaiah 55:4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

Isaiah 55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Isaiah 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

wakeup.

Isaiah 55 is another interesting chapter, but do you realize what it is actually talking about? Most of Isaiah refers to the end times and 55 is no exception.

You will go out with joy

Isaiah 55:1-3 Come for water, all who are thirsty, though you have no money, buy food, but without any cost. Why spend your money on what fails to satisfy? Listen to Me and you will fare well, hear Me and your soul shall live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, to love and care for you, as I did for David.
Isaiah 55:4-5 I appointed David as a witness and a leader of peoples. You, in turn will summon nations unknown to you, because the Holy one of Israel has given you power and glory.
Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found, abandon your wicked ways and return to the Lord, your God, He will take pity and freely pardon you.

Isaiah 55:8-10 For My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are high above your ways. As the rain comes down from heaven, it does not return without watering the earth – so it is with My word, it will not return empty, it will succeed in the task for which it was sent.
Isaiah 55:11-13 You will go out with joy and be led forth in peace. The Land will rejoice at your coming. Good trees will grow in the place of scrub and briars. This will glorify God and be a permanent sign of His renown.

Acts 3:19-20 Repent, therefore, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out. Then the Lord may grant you a time of recovery, and send the Messiah appointed for you, that is Jesus.
