Change you can believe in


Until at last the Spirit is poured down upon us from heaven.   Justice will rule in the wilderness and righteousness in the fertile field.  Righteousness will bring peace. Quietness and confidence will fill the land forever.  ISAIAH 32:15a, 16, 17 NLT

 

Christ’s reign will change godlessness to righteousness.

   Warmhearted—not steel-cold—toward Me, the redeemed will obey Me.

   Totally devoted to the King of hearts, heaven’s citizens will worship Me.

 

Christ’s reign will change war to peace.

   Shuttle diplomacy will never be able to settle international disputes.

   Battling with guilt? Rely on My Holy Spirit as your Defense Counsel.

 

Christ’s reign will change restlessness to rest.

   Impatient? Let the Prince of Peace teach you good things take time.

   Wondering if anybody cares? Let My Spirit comfort your heart.

 

Christ’s reign will change fear to security.

   Made right in My sight because of My Son’s work on the cross,

      Relax in My Presence and look forward to sharing His glory.

 

Christ’s reign will change sadness to joy.

   Going through tough times? Look forward to looking back on them.

   Hallelujahs will cancel heartbreak—triumph will dry tears.

 

Christ’s reign will change noise to quietness.

   At last, the din of chaos will disappear in the tranquility of paradise.

   The Prince of Peace will teach saints to sing the sweet music of heaven.

 

Christ’s reign will change deception to truth.

   Do not listen to the Devil’s lies—he is speaking his native language.

   Be attentive to the Shepherd’s voice—follow the Way to the Truth of Life.

 

Christ’s reign will change anxiety to confidence.

   Losing sleep worrying about eternity? Let My Spirit encourage you.

   Listen to tomorrow’s symphony of hope—dance faith’s jig of joy today
