Hebrews session 07 - mostly chapter 4 + bunny trails. Isaiah etc.

As the shaking work continues the supernatural rest of God remains available to the saints who prayerfully remain in the will of a God who tells us this: Isaiah 66:14-16

¹⁴ When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
And your bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies."

You can read on - Isaiah 66 will not be annulled. And the Lord will have His way among His people. And He invites everyone to be His people. Whosoever will. Yes Lord. 

Our most timely position in our progressive Hebrews study - declaring "Today if you will hear My voice" - 100% cries out for the saints - right now - to hear the voice of God as He speaks loudly in these troublesome days - calling the world to attention and repentance and salvation. How do the saints respond? What are the saints to do? The word God has a perfect plan.

The potential of hearing God accurately is enormous, as is the jeopardy of failing to hear, or worse yet, assuming or pretending to be hearing Him. In active times like these, God's desire has always been to be speaking to, and through, His people. There's things we can do to be hearing heaven. 

The God who spoke the world into existence continues to speak to those who will to hear His fresh voice each day - and that is spectacular - and in fact key to our ongoing successful and effective walks with the Lord during these times.

Hebrews 3:7
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,

Our Savior is temporarily made lower than the angels to redeem us and to take back what was turned over to our Adversary by the fall of sinful man - truly a supernatural plan for full redemption and our return to sonship.

The dark assault against anything godly includes active resistance against the giving of thanks to the one and only God - who is worthy of praise and will be praised forever, both by men and angels. Our understanding and recognition of this truth, particularly in the days of trouble in which we find ourselves, will contribute mightily to our success and His glory. 

The greater glory of this greater age: a revealed Savior, ministering angels, a rich salvation inheritance and reward - are all in place for our success  The supernatural ball is clearly in our court, in His will. Yes, these will be intense times - times during which  our intentionality to hear and do the will of God will determine much. 

We begin our study of the book of Hebrews, considering both its timing and also its timeliness. Speaking of timing - we first look a bit into the U.S. Election and also the Amsterdam attack on Israelis. Believers on earth in these days are called to an awareness of both the whats and whens of these times. There is challenge. There is divine purpose. 

This final session reviews the critical message of Paul to the same church that God writes to in the book of Revelation - as our God works to set things in order for the saints to succeed during all times - from the first to final century of this age. Paul lays out the glory of our redemption, the mystery of the Gentile inclusion, and the critical purpose of a Spirit-infused life, for our success. 

The extreme priority of healthy and restored interpersonal relationships - to heal people, heal the Church - and to avoid a curse of sin embedded in the covenant of God - all this and more is addressed as we look into prophecies and admonitions throughout both testaments. God wants His people healed. We have a part to play. He has a part He will play. It is time. Malachi 4:5-6.
