Isaiah chapter 50 verse 2.

Is my hand shortened that it cannot redeem or have I no power to deliver?

Ah, I love this picture of God, flexing, of God saying, remember my power.

Remember the might of my hand, the length of my hand. is my hand shortened that it cannot redeem, God's power to redeem, God's power to deliver.

And there's many different directions we can go based on this verse,

but here's the direction I want to take it and lead us to pray according to. I want you to think about a person who you might think or be

prone to think is beyond God's power to save.

Like, maybe you wouldn't say that,

but when you think about this person,

it may be somebody you know,

it may be somebody you don't know personally, but you think it's going to take a major miracle

to see that person turn to faith in Jesus and even as I say this a trust we realize

it's a major miracle for anyone to trust in Jesus that That's part of the point. God's power is necessary for

anyone's salvation. But in our way of thinking we oftentimes think, wow wow I just don't see how that person ever

maybe it's because you've shared the goss with him over and over and over again and

they've rejected it over and over and over again, or they seem so hard to it.

Or again, it may be somebody you don't know personally, maybe somebody in the news that

you think, wow, I can hardly even imagine that person coming to faith in Jesus.

And hear God's saying, my hand has power to deliver.

My hand is not too short, to redeem and to save. And so I want to lead us right now to

pray for that person or those people. There might be many people that start to come to your mind.
