Isaiah 55:1 NKJV
“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isaiah 55:1 NKJV
God spoke through His prophet to come to the water and drink, eat, and be full. This abundance that God has prepared for all mankind is to be bought not by money, which is the earthly currency, but by faith which is the currency of heaven.
Even though it has been freely given to all mankind through Christ our Lord, yet it can only be received into their lives by faith believing in Christ our Lord.
Many have received Christ but are still living in ignorance; they don't know what belongs to them, and because they don't know, how can they walk by faith to receive it.
What God has prepared is to be received by faith; faith is believing that Christ has given, provided, healed, and completely restored us to perfection.
We cannot earn what has been freely given with an earthly effort, but by faith we follow the word of God and the principle of God's kingdom.
Faith is an active response from us towards what Christ has established.
Since faith is the substance, faith is not trying to get God to create the substance ( get God to do it for us ); instead, faith is believing that God already provided the substance that we need, and we receive it by faith.
These are very important for us to know because if we are praying for God to create the substance, then we cannot freely come to eat and drink of His goodness.
Here, God said through the prophet to come because it has already been prepared; we just need to believe and receive it by faith.
Let us live by faith, thanking God for all our provision, for all the power and authority He has provided for us to live victoriously here on earth.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
