Isaiah 6:3-4

Isaiah Chapter 6

v. 3. “Holy, holy, holy"
They could not sing except than what they could see. I don't think we can ask these angels to write a song. Their song cannot be long enough. They sing only few things because they are occupied by many things that they could not comprehend. We understand God the Father by seeing that were created (Rom. 1:20). Angels now seeing the Creator and he cannot be fully grasped. Oh my God!


 v.4. "At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook" 
It seems worship shakes the doorposts and thresholds of any physical things. Acts 16:25-26
 "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God... Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken...."
In New Testament, we see the same result. When Paul and Silas were singing while praying the prison shook and the doors were opened.
The difference between OT and NT is that, in OT while worship was going on the enemies were confused and killed themselves (2 Chr. 20:21-23). Here in NT jailer also was about to kill himself but since NT comes with a different teaching of forgiveness, Paul saved him. That night the deliverance was not for the Paul and Silas, but it was for the jailer.

With all your heart and with all your time

A man had two sons. When he was about to die, he called them and made them promise him that they would pray daily one hour. He died. From that day each son would go into the church and pray one hour.

Few days later older brother found that his younger brother was praying only 20 minutes and yet getting quick results than he does. So he decided to go and ask and find out the secret. One morning he went to his younger brother's house. Asked him the question. Then the younger brother answered, "when you pray, you are praying one hour but you are conscious of time. You  are not putting your heart there. When I pray, though I pray twenty minutes, I pray with all my heart. That is the secret."

The older brother was happy. He went back home. He started following his younger brother's secret.

Few days later the younger brother found that his older brother is receiving quick answers to his prayers than himself. One day he went to his older brother's house. He asked older brother, "you are following my secret. If you were praying same way I do, how come you are receiving answers more quicker than I do?"

Then the older brother answered, "yes I have been following your secret. I am praying the same way you were praying like putting all your heart while praying. The only difference is that you  pray twenty minutes but I continued one hour. That's it"

Me and Elijah

Bible said that Elijah is same like you and me. Then why i could not do the things he did? Yes he is same like you and me but he did not pray same like you and me. He said to Ahab to go and eat but he Fasted and prayed For rain even after the Lord told him that he is going to send rain! We raise up prayer after God tells us that he is going to send rain.

Hey, you can do it. Just like Elijah do not give up until you see your vision coming true.

(Jas 5:17-18 [NET])
Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and there was no rain on the land for three years and six months! Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land sprouted with a harvest.
