Favour And Mercy Working Together Brings Deliverance And Salvation
Scripture: Isaiah 60:8-10
In verse 10 He re-accentuates the key point, “The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls, And their kings shall minister to you; For in My wrath I struck you, But in My favour I have had mercy on you.” Again we see the Hebrew word raw-tsone. Raw-tsone in verse 10 makes a very clear picture of the transition from adversity to favour and what happens in the process. God said, “…in My favour I have had mercy on you” and the result was “I delivered you from your enemies.” Again, we see favour and mercy working together to bring deliverance and salvation. Again the point has to be made, salvation to covenant Israel means judgment on their enemies. Unless we understand that seeking God for favour has a by-product of bringing judgment, we’re not prepared for the consequences of what we may be led to ask.

We expect to do the same works as Jesus. I expect to do greater works because He went to the Father.
The truth of the Word of God is alive in me. I am filled. I am alive. His life is in me. His life flows through me to others. His life brings freedom through me, and I distribute it freely to everyone that has need: young or old, male or female, regardless of ethnic background; there is no distinction.
I bring freedom everywhere I go, in the name of Jesus. The enemy cannot stop me. I resist him, because I have submitted myself unto God, and because I have humbled myself, God will exalt me. I will look to no man to exalt. me; I look to God.
