BE RENEWED IN STRENGTH 2
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
To have the strength of God, you must turn to Him and receive Him as life.
As I mentioned in the previous episode, whatever God is, He dispenses into you.
To have the Holy Spirit in you is to have the supply-center of strength in you.
The Holy Spirit dispenses and distributes all of the virtues of God into you.
“O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.” Isaiah 40:9-10 (KJV)
The Prophet Isaiah explains the extensiveness and limitlessness of the strength of God (Isaiah 40:12-28).
Now you see in verses 29 – 31, the Prophet Isaiah explains how God supplies strength to those who are His.
Because God’s strength doesn’t faint, those who faint are strengthened by Him.
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:29-31 (KJV)
The phrase, “even the youth shall faint”, is a depiction of how the most strongest shall faint even in their prime. The youthful season is the prime season of every natural thing.
It is normal to faint in old age. It may even seem normal to grow weak after you have been pressed by challenges. It may seem normal to grow tired and become exhausted.
Yet the testimony of those who WAIT upon the Lord is different. Those who WAIT upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
Now the Lord gives power to the faint and causes strength and ability to abound towards those who lack might.
It doesn’t matter how the vicissitudes have beaten you up and crushed you, the moment you turn and open up to the LORD, strength is dispensed and distributed to you.
As I have mentioned, you cannot find divine strength outside God. To have divine strength you must have God.
As a believer in Christ, you have the advantage, God lives in you, therefore His strength is inside you.
You can accomplish more with the strength of God when it is RENEWED. To RENEW the strength of God, you must learn to WAIT UPON THE LORD.
To wait upon the Lord is not just an imagery of a “Waiter” in a restaurant. The word WAIT is from the Hebrew word, “qâvâh . The primitive root for “qâvâh” means “TO BIND TOGETHER”.
To wait upon the Lord means to look patiently to the Lord, to expect and to be tied to the Lord. It means you are knitted and plaited with and to the LORD.
Jesus said, “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.” John 15:5 (TPT)
In as much as it is good to be a tree, it is far greater and better to be a branch. The strength and fruitfulness of a branch is dependent on the tree. You must be knitted to the Lord as a fruitful branch is to a great tree.
Don’t be separated and be distracted or moved away from the Lord.
The more you remain in the Lord, the more you are renewed in strength.
Oh glory to God, you have the strength of God!
DIG DEEPER
(Philippians 4:13; 1 John 4:4; Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 40:29-31; Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 27:1)
WE PRAY
We pray that we shall not be distracted nor become prideful but will always remain rooted and established in the Lord.
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2024
James 4 – 5
DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– The Lord is my strength.
– I have the strength to do whatever God has called me to do.
– The Holy Spirit is the supply-center of strength in me.
– I have the strength of God at work in me.
Oh, thank you Lord Jesus!
I have the strength of God at work in me🙌🔥🙌🔥
The strength of God is at work in me
I faint not in the mighty name of Jesus 🔥❤️🔥
I practice the presence of God in all I do
I renew in strength daily 🙏
I Remain In The Lord
I remain rooted and established in the Lord.
The Lord is my strength.
I refuse to be distracted
Real wisdom
the branch needs the nourishment the tree draws from the soil to make it productive so if one doesn’t become a submissive and knitted branch how can it produce fruits that will bring forth seeds that can produce other trees
The more the trees the more the spread of Gods kingdom on earth
The branch cannot be without a tree and a tree needs a branch, but a branch is more vulnerable as compared to a tree that is the same way for man to be fulfilled, he must stay cling to the supply of God for without him man is vulnerable
so, we work hand in hand with God as a tree works hand in hand with its branch to produce many fruits
To wait upon the Lord means to look patiently to the Lord, to expect and to be tied to the Lord. It means you are knitted or walking in tandem with God.
I am better off being a branch on God than to be a tree of my own. The Life of God flows from the vine into me and that makes me a superman.
being tied to the Lord implies I am constant renewed with strength to do what God wants me to do.
I was blessed.Glory to God
I must be knitted to God,waiting upon Him renews my strength. Gloreyyy
The holy spirit is the supply-center of strength in me

Thank you LORD!
The extensiveness and limitlessness of the strength of God .
I have GOD and so, I HAVE STRENGTH
The strength of God within is renewed when you wait upon the Lord.
Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
As we behold the lord the His strength is supplied unto us
Oh glorrrreeeeeyyyyyy..i behold the Lord..
To wait upon the Lord means to look patiently to the Lord, to expect and to be tied to the Lord. It means you are knitted and plaited with and to the LORD.
To wait on the Lord is to rely on him like a branch that cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine.
My strength does not come from food but by Beholding JESUS my LORD..
Glorrrreeeeeyyyyyy!
It DOESN’T MATTER how misfortunes have beaten you up and crushed you, the moment you turn and open up to the LORD…
THE MOMENT… Ha
I don’t get distracted
I don’t wallow in weakness
I submit and turn to the Lord as I take advantage of His strength at work in me
Thank you Lord that I have the strength to do whatever You have called me to do
