ReadIsaiah 6:1-8
Then I heard the voice ofthe Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said,“Here am I. Send me!” He said, “Go….” (vv. 8-9)
Ifyou read this whole passage you’ll see that Isaiah had a very powerfulspiritual encounter with God that revolutionised his life and ministry.
Isaiahhad already been involved in ministry. He was already a prophet. He was alreadydelivering messages of judgment on other people. But when he encountered God inall His glory and holiness, Isaiah forgot about the condition of other people.He could only see that his own spiritual condition fell so far short.
WhenGod’s angel came and touched Isaiah’s lips and told him that his sins wereatoned for and that God had cleansed him, Isaiah was suddenly very sensitive tothe things of God. He could hear the desire being expressed within the Trinityas God the Father said to the Son and the Holy Spirit, “Whom shall I send, andwho will go for Us?”
Isaiahstepped forward and became one of the most used men of God in the Bible.
Areyou involved in ministry to others? God’s telling you that you need to focus onyour own spiritual life, too. You need to encounter God, deal with any hiddensins and find cleansing for a new sense of God’s call on your life.
