Daddy just showed me something, as i felt led by the spirit, to spend time with Him (=
I felt led to open an old notebook, notes which i took during sermons when i was sec 2. as i opened and felt lead to flip to a particular page and saw Isaiah 54, the holy spirit brought back to my mind, what pastor preached about during that sermon. although this was two years ago, the holy spirit never forgets. pastor prince was talking about, dont wait for the blessing to come, before you do something. prepare for it now! and i still remembered his example, through the holy spirit reminding me. for couples trusting God for a baby, dont just wait. start buying a cot and baby clothes!
anyways, although it said on my notes Isaiah 54:1-4, those verses were soo good, i just kept on reading, and i was soo blessed! as i went into biblegateway.com to check out other versions, for the NIV version for that verse is titled The Future Glory of Zion. meaning, the future glory of grace, which is our present now lah. daddy just revealed and revealed to me. isaiah 54 is after 53. and isaiah 53 talks about jesus' suffering on the cross. and then isaiah 54 talks about His grace. so cool eh (=
here's the link to isaiah 54:

Daddy revealed to me a lot lah, but there is one verse in particular, that really made me value righteousness even more. In verse 14,
"In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you. "
and its really awesome. i always knew righteousness was important. no condemnation is important. but in knowing righteousness, and besides being able to stand strong and not be bowed down by condemnation, and to be able to come boldly into His presence without condemnation, you shall be far from troubles and not fear. and furthermore, you shall be protected from terror. and really, this gave me another meaning to the importance of having righteousness in my life.
thank you lord, that no matter how many mistakes i've made, and how much i've done and the wrong things i've said, jesus, your blood cleanses me and washed away all my sins. that is therefore now no condemnation, and that the robes of righteousness are on me. i am no more a sinner, but a righteous woman. you see me, without blemish, without a speck of dirt. amen.
