Transforming Power Statements:
1) Isaiah reveals to us that God has had a plan that has been moving toward completion against the desires of mankind’s wishes to rule and control the creation for selfish purposes, while constantly rejecting God Himself as being King over the creation. If it were left up to mankind, God would never reign over mankind, therefore, God’s Son Jesus Christ The KING of kings, will rise to power and rule the world from Jerusalem and usher in true and everlasting peace!
2) Believers in Jesus Christ must join Jesus in being light in the midst of darkness and not be ashamed of the Gospel so that the greatest news of the greatest KING will be known through our epic mission to the world which is the Gospelization of all nations, and all for the glory of God through Jesus Christ our LORD!
3) The ultimate deceiver the devil, through the spirit of antichrist is systematically luring people under the illusion of “freedom” into an eternal slavery, and is setting up the world to take control everything for himself, and all who are deceived by him are studying war with the purpose of taking control by force, which will come to an end when Jesus Christ emerges with all believers as His servants to be worshiped!
