When God Declares, Get Ready

"Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?"  Isaiah 43:13

Did you catch that? Not a suggestion, not a possibility, but a definitive, unwavering "I will work."

This isn't some wishy-washy, "maybe if the stars align" kind of statement. When God says "I will," it's an explicit, imperative decree. It's the divine equivalent of "buckle up, buttercup, because this is happening." Ready or not.

Think about it. God told Noah, "I will cause it to rain." Now, imagine being Noah. Rain? What's rain? The concept was likely foreign, beyond his comprehension. Yet, God didn't say, "I might try to make it rain if the atmospheric conditions are favorable." No. He said, "I will cause it to rain," and then instructed Noah to build an ark. The result? A downpour the world had never seen.

Or consider Abraham. God's promise: "I will make you a great and mighty nation." Despite his age and his wife's barrenness, God's "I will" stood firm, birthing a lineage that continues to impact the world.

Even in the face of stubborn opposition, God's "I will" prevails. When He declared He would harden Pharaoh's heart, no plague – not lice, not frogs, not hail, not locusts, not darkness, not boils, not even water turning to blood – could soften it. God's "I will" is not swayed by earthly resistance. It's set in stone, a promise you can bank on. Every force in existence, every obstacle, must ultimately yield. They might not like it, but they cannot halt the momentum of God's declared intention.

And then He says, "I will work."

In the realm of physics, we understand work as the transfer of energy through the displacement of an object by a force. When God says "I will work," it's as if the cosmic transfer switch is about to be flipped. He's preparing to take what He possesses and place it exactly where you have a void.

Suddenly, that empty vessel of yours becomes a prime candidate for divine filling. That situation where you're utterly clueless, where your own strength has run out, becomes the very space where God can move most powerfully.

So, take heart if you feel empty today. Rejoice if you've reached the end of your own understanding. Because when God declares, "I will work," it means your empty barrel is about to overflow. Your vacant spaces are on the verge of being saturated with His anointing.

"I will work." Let that powerful declaration sink deep into your soul. Get ready. Something extraordinary is about to happen.
