My Value Lies in the Redemption
...along with every person we know.
ISAIAH THE PROPHET saw the Redemption that would come. He used words like redeem and Redeemer twenty-four times. Meditating and praying along the lines of his revelation will do much to open us to the love of our Redeemer who valued us enough to send His Son for our ransom. While what Isaiah saw was yet in the shadow of the Old Covenant, it pointed to a reality that is ours now in the New Covenant.
DAY 1--The Redemption makes way for a new people with new strength and new value.
Isa 41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel;
I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy REDEEMER... Tit 2:14
(Our Saviour Jesus Christ) Who gave Himself for us, that He might
REDEEM us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.
FATHER, sometimes I feel as helpless as a worm before You. You could
have squished me, but You didn't. You loved me and redeemed me. Make me
now in what You want for Your Kingdom's sake. Help me lie still before
You so You can make me strong for it. Teach me that the task is Yours.
Reveal to these precious ones I hold before You that Your redeeming love
is for them also.
Release from Weakness, Famine, Thirst, and the Oppression of Having
no Dwelling --Isa 41:10-18; Eph 3:16
DAY 2--The Redemption brings us into a relationship with God where we need have no fear.
Isa 43:1,2 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, 0
Jacob, and He that formed thee, 0 Israel, Fear not: for I have REDEEMED
thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine. Heb 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, saith the Lord; I will put My laws into their mind,
and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to Me a people.
FATHER, many fearful memories make it difficult for me to trust You
fully. Please heal my thoughts of fearful things from my past. Others
I know live with their own private fears. Release them. Please bring us
together into the sweet conviction that You will not forsake us, for You
love us and You are our Redeemer.
Release from Fear--Isa 43:1-8; Lk 12:7; Rom 8:15
DAY 3--The Redemption opens the way for our help and guidance in the wilderness.
Isa 43:14,16,19 Thus saith the LORD, your REDEEMER,
the Holy One of Israel, . . . which maketh a way in the sea, and
a path in the mighty waters... I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert. Jn 7:37, 38 In the last day,
that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any
man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on
Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers
of living water.
DEAR LORD, I long for these I hold before You to know Your Redemption,
and the river of life it brings. It seems they live in the wilderness
and they have little confidence in Your provision. Open their eyes to
know You and see Your hand extended to them in love.
Release from Fear of Trouble--Isa 43:14-21; Heb 4:16
DAY 4--Through the Redemption our sins are blotted out and the curse is removed from our lives.
Isa 44:22--I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions,
and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto Me; for I have REDEEMED thee. Gal
3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that
hangeth on a tree.
GREAT REDEEMER, I see it now! There is nothing to hinder my coming
to You. My sins are blotted out. The curse is removed from my life. You
have taken my sin and my curse. I love You for this. Help me now to live
in unhindered and unbroken relationship with You.
The Mediator of the New Covenant--Heb 9:12-15
DAY 5--The Redemption brings release from occult oppression.
Isa 44:24,25 Thus saith the LORD, thy REDEEMER, and
He that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all
things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad
the earth by myself; that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and
maketh diviners mad; that turn eth wise men backward, and maketh their
knowledge foolish.
FATHER, my family has been oppressed by lies and hindered by occult
practices. Some of this has been in our ignorance. I repent now for all
of us. You have redeemed me. Let the power of Your redemption come over
upon these that I hold before You. In Your Name, I release them. Draw
them. Bring repentance upon them.
Release from the Devil's Hold--Heb 2:10-15
DAY 6--The Redemption offers escape from poverty.
Isa 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy REDEEMER,
the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teach eth thee
to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
LORD, I renounce the spirit of poverty simply on the ground that You
have redeemed me. I open my life to the economy of Your Kingdom. Lead
me in the way I should go to prepare for the difficult days ahead. I hold
these others before You so You may reveal Your economy to them also. Let
them know Your tender care.
Remembering the Source of Our Blessing--Deut 8:7-18
DAY 7--The redeemed have a hope of restoration after tribulation.
Isa 51:11 Therefore the REDEEMED of the LORD shall return,
and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their
head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall
flee away.
FATHER, help me look through the pain and pressure of today and find
the joy of Your presence. Then, nothing else matters. Here are some who
have their pains and pressures. Help them find Your presence and Your
redeeming love.
The Simplicity, and Power, of Believers when They Newly Come out of
Affliction--Acts 2:41-47
DAY 8 --The Redemption brings release from shame.
Isa 54:4,5 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be
thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget
the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood
any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of Hosts is his name;
and thy REDEEMER the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall
he be called.
FATHER, shame from my past still tries to oppress me. I know it hinders
my growth and understanding in Your Kingdom. Today I turn this over to
the Redemption You provide me. Here are some others that live with their
shame. Draw them by Your Spirit into the Redemption.
Brought Back by God's Mercy--Isa 54:1-7; I Pet 2:6
DAY 9--If we are redeemed and still commit sin, God may hide His face from us, but for a moment.
Isa 54:7,8 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great
mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee
for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee,
saith the LORD thy REDEEMER.
FATHER, I don't want to grieve You with any sin. I want my life pure
for Your Kingdom's sake. But, I must admit there are things with me that
I know must grieve Your Spirit. Your chastening is painful to me, not
so much for what I feel, but for what I know You must feel. Thank You
for loving me enough to correct me.
How God Chastens His Own--Heb 12:5-11
DAY 10--The Redemption provides us deliverance from the attacks of the enemy.
Isa 59:19,20 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the
west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall
come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard
against him. And the REDEEMER shall come to Zion, and unto them that
turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I say to the oppressor, "Depart! My life is
free from your interference." PRECIOUS FATHER, I open myself anew to
the triumph over Satan that You give me in Christ. Open the eyes of these
I hold before You so they can do the same.
Release from Satanic Oppression--Isa 59:16-21; I Jn 5:18
DAY 11--The Redemption makes way for us to have an excellent purpose before the Lord.
Isa 60:15,16 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated,
so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency,
a joy of many generations, and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy
Saviour and thy REDEEMER, the mighty One of Jacob.
PRECIOUS REDEEMER, sometimes I have felt forsaken and hated. I've
felt like a reproach to Your Name. I am ready now to turn from these feelings
and open myself to the excellency of Your calling upon my life. Seal me
as Your excellent child. Do this work in these I hold now before Your
Throne. Let them know that You have an excellent purpose for them.
Brought to Excellency--Isa 60:14-18; Ps 16:1-3; Ps 47:4
DAY 12--We can behold our Redeemer through the eyes of the Prophets.
Isa 63:1,2 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments
from Bozrah? this that is glorious in His apparel, travelling in the greatness
of His strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore
art Thou red in Thine apparel, and Thy garments like him that treadeth
in the winefat? Rev 19:13 And He was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.
DEAR LORD, today I take time to behold You, my Redeemer. I want to know
more about how deep was that love that caused You to die for me. Fill
my heart as I wait before You. Now, here are some who seem to care little
about Your love. Send Your Spirit to draw them. Cause them to want to
know Your love intimately.
Beholding Our Redeemer in His Death--Isa 63:1-5; MI 27:29-31
THE PSALMISTS, significantly David, had insight into the Redemption. They knew what it meant to be set free from The snare of The fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. Knowing the liberation that the Redemption brings us is what makes it so wonderful a thing in our lives. It is why we pray that others--especially those who are dear and close to us--will know its wonders in their lives.
DAY 13--We desire to be right in the eyes of our Redeemer.
Ps 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation
of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, 0 LORD, my Strength, and my REDEEMER.
Heb 13:15 By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise
to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His
name.
O DEAR LORD, I want my life to be to the praise of the glory of Your
grace by which You redeemed me. Let the testimony of redemption shine
through me to these others I am holding before Your Throne. While I pray
for them, let them see Your love and grace in me.
Yielding to the Grace that Redeems from Iniquity--Tit 2:11-15
DAY 14--We learn to commit our spirit into the hand of our Redeemer.
Ps 31:5 Into Thine hand I commit my spirit: Thou hast redeemed
me, O LORD God of truth. II Tim 1:12 For the which cause I
also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know
Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which
I have committed unto Him against that day.
FATHER, faithful REDEEMER, thank You for bringing me to the place where
I need have no fear, not even of death. I want to live moment by moment
committed to You. Help me in this. Help these I am holding before You.
All of us waver in this, but I am trusting You to bring us to a place
of stability.
Yielding to the Spirit of Power, and of Love and of a Sound
mind--II Tim 1:7-12
DAY 15--We have the promise that none of the redeemed shall be left desolate.
Ps 34:22 The LORD REDEEMETH the soul of His servants: and none
of them that trust in Him shall be desolate. Jn 10:27, 28 My sheep
hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them
eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of My hand.
LORD, I am trusting You. There shall come no desolation upon us. We
will never be forsaken because You have redeemed us and You are faithful.
Take these fearful ones I am holding in prayer. Help them know this of
You. Show them Your redeeming power.
Precious Promises of our Redeemer--Mt 5:18; Ps 9:10; Ps 37:28;
Ps 94:14; Is 42:16
DAY 16--The redeemed have a song to sing that others cannot sing.
Ps 71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and
my soul, which thou hast REDEEMED. Lk 1:46,47,49 And Mary said,
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my
Saviour
For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is
His Name.
DEAR LORD, I magnify You. My spirit rejoices in You. You have done a
mighty thing in redeeming my soul. I love You and long for Your abiding
presence. Therefore I wait
before You today and listen for Your voice. I whisper in Your presence
the names of these I love. Let them know Your voice and Your redeeming
love.
How the Redeemed Sing in the Book of Revelation--Rev 5:9,10:
Rev 14:3; Rev 15:3,4
DAY 17--The redeemed have a testimony that others cannot give.
Ps 107:1,2 0 give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for
His mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom
He hath REDEEMED from the hand of the enemy. Ps 39:3 My
heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake
I with my tongue...
FATHER, loose my tongue so I can speak freely of the redemption that
is mine in Christ Jesus. Help me confirm with my life what my tongue speaks.
Let my testimony, both in word and in deed, be anointed by Your Spirit
to reach into the hearts of these I hold before You.
The Confession that Leads to Salvation--Rom 10:8-10
DAY 18--The redeemed have a hope that others cannot find.
Ho 6:2,3 After two days will He revive us. in the third day
He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Then shall we
know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us
as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
DEAR LORD, because You have redeemed me, I have hope--even through sorrow
and death. I have confidence that You are more faithful than the sun that
comes every morning. I am trusting that the early rain of Your Spirit
will come upon my life and make me strong for Your eternal Kingdom. And
Your latter rain will come and make me fruitful. Let Your rain fall upon
these.
The Hope of the Latter Rain of God's Spirit--Joel 2:23;
Zech 10:1; Jas 5:7
DAY 19--Our Redemption is settled in God's Beloved Son.
Eph 1:6b,7 . . .He hath made us accepted in the Beloved, in Whom
we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according
to the riches of His grace... Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by
His grace through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus...
FATHER, it is settled with me. My hope of redemption lies only in the
grace extended in Your Beloved Son. I accept my redemption full and complete
in Him. Help these I hold in Your presence to know it is only, and completely,
in Him. Bring Your Spirit upon them.
One Ransom for All--I Tim 2:1-6
DAY 20--The Redemption Christ obtained for us is eternal.
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by
His Own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us. Heb 7:25 Wherefore He is able
also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He
ever liveth to make intercession for them.
FATHER, help me live with eternity's values in view. Give me an understanding
of Your eternal Kingdom so my life can come into line with its values
and its ways. Here are some I hold before You whose values are in line
with this age. Draw them to seek Your eternal values.
The Call to Seek Eternal Values--Col 3:1-4
DAY 21--The Redemption obtained for us was at great cost.
I Pet 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not REDEEMED with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition
from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot:
GRACIOUS LORD, what value you placed on me! How can I esteem it? It
is beyond my ability to know that kind of love--and yet I know it! You
brought it to me and lifted me and caused me to know You love me. Thank
you, PRECIOUS LORD. Now, here are some others who need to know Your love.
I hold them before You.
The Better Covenant that Seals Our Redemption--Heb 9:13-28
THERE IS A REDEMPTION for which we wait. We ask the Lord to release in us more than an understanding of that for which we long. We ask Him to increase our desire and expectation for the day when we will fully know that unto which we are redeemed.
DAY 22--We travail, waiting for our full Redemption.
Rom 8:22,23 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which
have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
waiting for the adoption, to wit, the REDEMPTION of our body.
FATHER, this is beyond my comprehension. But, I do know there is a longing
in me for yet more. I see--oh, so clearly--that there is a lack in me
that can only be supplied by Your full presence. Come upon me by Your
Spirit and only increase this longing. I can be satisfied only when I
wake in Your likeness.
The Cry of a Soul Who Wants to Be Like the Lord--Ps 17:1-15
DAY 23--We have the earnest of our inheritance until the full Redemption comes.
Eph 1:13b ... after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that
Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until
the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
LOVING FATHER, thank You for sending Your Spirit to abide with us. Thank
You for the promise that He will not leave us. I want to yield to Him
and know His fullness in my life as You bring us on toward the day of
our full redemption. For this, I wait before You.
The Promise that Is Ours Now--Jn 14:16-20
AS USUAL, we don't have space to finish our month. But take the days ahead and go over the precious and powerful Scriptures laid out regarding the Redemption. Let them work their way into your spirit. Feast on them. Let them become written upon the tablet of your heart.
