Isaiah
9:6
For
to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his
shoulders.
And
he will be called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
of Peace.
This is such a wonderful scripture for us
to look at today. Isaiah 700 years
before Jesus was born gives us a description of his reign, rule and role.
1.
Isaiah
says for unto us a child is born. Jesus came
for all mankind. His coming was both
individually and universal. He came for
you and me and also for all mankind because we could not save ourselves. Until you see a need for a savior you will
never get saved. He came to give you
eternal and abundant life. He came to
bring healing, deliverance, salvation, restoration, forgiveness, anointing,
empowerment, victory and freedom.
2.
For unto us a son is given. Jesus was God. He was the son, a second part of the
trinity. He was the firstborn of all
creation. He was the son who gave His
life. He allowed His body to be broken
and his blood to be shed. He died,
buried and rose again so we could become like Him. We are now called the Sons of God because of
what He has done. He was given to us,
individually and universally. Jesus is
the door to eternity, the source of eternal life and giver of life.
3.
The
government will be upon His shoulders. He must reign
and rule in your heart. He is your
king. He must be Savior and Lord. His reign and rule must be in your home to
have it complete. The government,
authority and power of the church His on His shoulders. Jesus is the head of the church. One
day He will rule both on earth and in the new heaven and earth. The first two have already been realized the
third is yet to come. The exciting part
is that you and I will reign and ruler with Him. That is our present and future.
4.
And
He shall be called. The following are the names and roles He
plays in our lives, our family, homes, churches and the church at large. He is called wonderful counselor. Now Jesus is more than a good
psychologist. This is such a limited
scope of who Christ is. He knows all and
sees all. He sees what is in your
heart. He knows how to speak to
you. He uses the word of God which is
the discerner of the thought intents of the heart. The Holy Spirit is our counselor He leads us
into all truth. We believe in Trinity which means that the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit all have these qualities. He
wants to guide, lead, teach, direct and help you into all the truth. He will take what He hears and give it to
you. You will never be alone. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. You have someone who will always lead you in
the right path if you let Him.
5.
I
want to give you our belief in the trinity.
That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the Persons; nor
dividing the Essence. For there is one Person of the Father; another of the
Son; and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal. Such
as the Father is; such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost. The Father
uncreated; the Son uncreated; and the Holy Ghost uncreated. The Father
unlimited; the Son unlimited; and the Holy Ghost unlimited. The Father eternal;
the Son eternal; and the Holy Ghost eternal. And yet they are not three
eternals; but one eternal. As also there are not three uncreated; nor three
infinites, but one uncreated; and one infinite. So likewise the Father is
Almighty; the Son Almighty; and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not
three Almighties; but one Almighty. So the Father is God; the Son is God; and
the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods; but one God. So
likewise the Father is Lord; the Son Lord; and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not
three Lords; but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by the Christian
verity; to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; So are we
forbidden to say, There are three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of
none; neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone; not made,
nor created; but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son;
neither made, nor created, nor begotten; but proceeding. So there is one
Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three
Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is before, or after another; none is
greater, or less than another. But the whole three Persons are coeternal, and
coequal. So that in all things, as aforesaid; the Unity in Trinity, and the
Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved, let him
thus think of the Trinity.

Mighty
God. Jesus is God, He is the perfect union of God
and man He was God with face. He was the
complete union of the natural and the
super-national. He was 100%, God and
man. Jesus is God and man. That is who He is. Jesus is Word, the word who dwelt among with
grace and truth. Jesus is the creator
and sustainer of all things. He is the
force that keeps the atom from blowing apart.
7.
He is
the everlasting Father. He is connected
with the Father. This word means the
reign and rule of
Christ on the earth and in the hearts of His
people. This is the temporal and eternal
reign of Christ. Jesus’ reign as the
second person of the Godhead was before the creation of the universe and will
continue for eternity. He is creator
sustainer of life as mentioned before.
He is the order and guide for creation.
He rules His people with love and care.
Nothing has been able or will ever overthrow or exterminate this
King. He is the ageless one who rules
and reigns forevermore
8.
He
is the Prince of Peace. Jesus is the giver of true peace. Peace the world cannot give or take
away. His peace with eliminate inner
conflict, war and strife. Jesus gave us
a right relationship with God. The gap
between man and God was bridge by Jesus Christ.
He is the bridge of peace. He is
the universal peacemaker. He brought us
into right relationship with ourselves and in turn we can be right with all men
and actually become peacemakers. He
brought the three following things in your life.
a.
Restore
every broken relationship. This is done
by forgiveness, having right attitude, refusing taking
offence, living dead to sin and trespass. That no matter what others to do you, you
will not do the same to them. You will
love accept and forgive.
b.
Provides
a well ordered and balanced life. This
means surrendering our anxieties, fears, doubts, and
frustrations to Jesus that we may experience His
perfect peace in our hearts. Choosing to
allow our minds to be renewed. Keeping
our thought life in line. Thinking on
pure, holy, just, true, honest, virtuous and praise worthy thoughts.
C.
Living in the assurance of salvation.
You have been set free. Live a
life worthy of Him. Make a decision
moment by moment to live for
Him. Live in the light of eternity. Know at any second He could come
back. This brings peace. You are saved so live like it
