Isaiah 42:5-9 (NKJV): “Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: ‘I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house. I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.’” John 14:12 (NLT): “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works…” John 14:20 (NLT): “In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.” 

God Is the Author of Life and Destiny, Isaiah 42:5 (NKJV): “Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens …..” He created the heavens and the earth—He is not just a participant in our stories; He is the Author of them. All things were made by Him and for Him, Colossians 1:16-17 (NKJV):

He gives breath (Sama) and spirit (Ruah) to all people—every moment of life is a gift from Him.

Your breath is proof that God’s purpose for your life is still active.

If you still have a pulse you still have a purpose.

You Are Called and Chosen by God, Isaiah 42:6a (NKJV):  “I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness…” God doesn’t just create, He calls. He Designs, Develops and Deploys. You were not randomly selected—you were purposefully chosen in righteousness.

Walk in what you’ve been called to do, not in what life has labeled you.

God not only created you but has been calling you — He wants you to come.

God Will Hold You and Guide You, Isaiah 42:6b (NKJV)  “I will take hold of your hand…”

You’re not walking alone—God’s hand is available for you.

“To Take hold” implies guidance, strength, and security. It Requires Trust and Submission

Please Remember This: He will always lead you into victory!

2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV): “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.”

When your path gets dark or uncertain, God’s grip will only get stronger.

You Are a Light to the Nations, Isaiah 42:6c (NKJV) “I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles…” You were made to shine in dark places, called to be a beacon of hope. God uses His people as vessels of hope, healing, and freedom:

To Open Blind Eyes, To Set Captives Free, To Deliver Those in Darkness.

Who’s getting set free because of your obedience?

Whose darkness is going to have to deal with the light that you’re carrying?

Who’s sickness has to go because of those stripes He bore?

A New Thing Is Breaking Forth, Isaiah 42:9 (NKJV)  “See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare…” God doesn’t just repeat history—He’s writing new chapters. Before they spring forth, He will tell you—that’s divine preparation. 

Here’s a prophetic word for you: Get ready for something you haven’t seen before.

To Close: 

God’s Glory Is Non-Negotiable, Isaiah 42:8 (NKJV): “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another…” God is jealous for His glory—He will not allow His work to be credited elsewhere. All power, all miracles, all breakthrough—point back to Him. Reminder: Don’t rob God of the glory that belongs to Him alone. Let this be a moment where you receive the call, renew the covenant, and reflect the light. Trust in the One who will hold your hand. 

Say “yes” to the new thing God is declaring over your life.
