Isaiah 55:12: For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace.
God is indeed doing a new thing in your life!
This is the time to let go of all your past griefs and sorrows to Jesus. This is the time to let go of all your past regrets and failures. This is the time to let go of all your past hurts and shame. He has indeed carried all these on the cross. Surely Jesus has borne your griefs and carried your sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). He was wounded for your transgressions, and bruised for your iniquities. The chastisement for your peace was upon Him, and by His stripes you are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
Beloved, do not look back to your past. God is preparing you to enter a new season. It's time to move out of your past griefs and sorrows. It's time to shift out of your past griefs and sorrows. Leave them all on the cross, and start entering into His joy and peace. I sense fresh new grace coming your way. A new season always comes with fresh new grace. Yes, good and new things are indeed coming your way!
In Isaiah 55:12, the word ‘joy’ is ‘simkhaw’ in Hebrew. It means ‘exceeding gladness, fullness of joy, pleasure’. The word ‘peace’ here is ‘shalom’. It does not just mean ‘peace’, but it can also mean ‘prosperity, health, wellness, wholeness’. So, everyday in your life, in this new season, you shall go out with 'exceeding gladness, fullness of joy, pleasure', and be led out with 'peace, prosperity, health, wellness, wholeness’.
You shall receive your 'open doors'. You shall receive the favor of God and the favor of men. Believe and receive it. And not only that, you have the Holy Spirit leading you as you go out. Isaiah 55:12 says you are being 'led out with peace'. Romans 8:14 says, ‘as many as are led by the Spirit, they are sons of God.’ You are indeed His child, His beloved child. Romans 8:17 says, ‘as children, we are heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ’. An heir of God is one who 'inherits' and 'shares' the richness of His kingdom and His glory.
So, rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for the richness of His kingdom and the richness of His glory is here. Beloved in Christ, in all that you do today, start to go out with joy, and be led out with peace! Amen!
