Isaiah 8:9-9:7
God Must Do It!

Introduction
1. Why do we fail? “I can’t...He can”. God must do it!
2. Isaiah 8:9-9:7 when it comes to the spiritual world, you must be available, but GOD MUST
DO IT!

Why do we fail? “I can’t...He can”. God must do it!
I. THE PRESENCE OF GOD 8:9-10
God must do it when you are tempted to compromise.
A. The Challenge 9a
1. Israel was tempted to not trust God and align herself with Assyria.
2. Compromise is to choose otherwise…standards, convictions, choose wrong friends,
you go to wrong places.
B. The Cost 9b-10a
1. You shall be broken in pieces (3 times in v. 1)
2. Counsel comes to nought…what you say will not happen.
C. The Certainty 10b
God is with us!
1. Practice the presence of God when tempted to compromise.
2. What would Jesus do?

Why do we fail? “I can’t...He can”. God must do it!
II. THE PROTECTION OF GOD 8:11-15
God must do it when going along with the crowd is popular, accepted and easiest.
A. He Is My Strength 11
Spoke to me with a strong hand. I shall not walk in the way of this people.
His will and a desire to do His will must be greater than the crowd.
B. He Is My Sanctification 12
1. Set apart the Lord of host. God must do it when we are afraid.
2. Let Him be your fear…stand in awe of Him.
“He feared man so little, because he feared God so much.”
C. He Is My Sanctuary 13-15
1. This is the place to run!
2. How we treat God determines how we experience Him. Either a sanctuary or a
snare…or a stumbling stone (stumble, fall, broken, snared…taken away) 15

Why do we fail? “I can’t...He can”. God must do it!
III. THE PRECEPTS OF GOD 8:16-18
God must do it when you need direction.
A. Appropriation 16
Bind up…seal God’s Word must be appropriated.
B. Apprehension 17
I will wait upon the Lord. I will look for Him. The Word of God will lead us to
Him. God is the fuel that makes us go!!
C. Authentication 18
1. Isaiah’s two sons were signs and wonders. Shear-jashub (7:3) “a remnant shall
return.” Mahor-shalal-hashbaz “haste ye…haste ye to the spoil.” Isaiah “salvation of
the Lord.”
2. God must do it because He has a plan.

Why do we fail? “I can’t...He can”. God must do it!
IV. THE PERIL OF GOD 8:19-22
If God doesn’t do it, you must do it. Doing it yourself always brings negative results.
A. Dangerous 19
1. By what authority do you live?
2. Mediums…Wizards who peep and mutter. It’s that or God!!
B. Distressed 21
1. Distressed, hungry, fret, curse the king and God.
2. Many are anxious, never satisfied, uptight. They have a real hard time with authority
figures. They don’t want God to tell them what to do.
C. Dark 20,23
1. There was no light in them…if they speak not according to this Word. 20
2. There was no light outside of them…Darkness all around them. 23
God doesn’t leave us in the dark!

Why do we fail? “I can’t...He can”. God must do it!
V. THE PERSON OF GOD 9:1-7
Jesus comes...this is God!
A. Christ, the Great Light 1,2
1. Zebulun…Naphtali were northern provinces. Dimness, vexation, affliction, Galilee
of the nations…they were the most ignorant of Jewish ways.
2.What a picture of those without Christ. 2 They walk in darkness…living in the
shadow of death.
3.Have seen a great light…Then Jesus comes! Upon them the Great Light shined.
(Matthew 4:12-16) The Light comes on! The darkness of sin can be cured by one remedy…LIGHT. I am the light of the world; He that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)
B. Christ, the Great Liberator 3-5
1. The Character of This Liberation 3 The fulfillment will be at the 2nd coming,
and the Millennial Kingdom. It can be applied to salvation: Three words describe the
character of this liberation: Multiplied the Nations…Joy Increased…Rejoice
Joy overflows. There is no greater joy than to see a soul liberated by Jesus!!
2. The Characteristics of This Liberation 4 God alone does this! Broken is the
key: Yoke of Burden (Broken) Staff of his back (Broken) Rod of the Oppressor
(Broken)
3. The Conclusion of This Liberation 5 After the Battle of Armageddon…when
Jesus comes at salvation…the war is over. We are no longer enemies but friends.
We are joint heirs with Jesus. This is the reason to rejoice!
C. Christ, the Great Lord 6-7
These deal primarily with the 1000 year reign of Christ, except the first of v. 6.
1. The Distinction of This Lord 6a For unto us a child is born (His humanity).
For unto us a son (the very essence of His Father) is given. The government on His
shoulders (must refer to His 2nd coming).
2. The Description of This Lord 6b His Name (His character): Wonderful
Counselor…the Mighty God (God champion)…the everlasting Father. How can you
have a child born be the Father of eternity? This One was God-man. He was the
possessor of eternal life. He that has the Son has life! The prince of peace…He
brings peace!
3. The Destiny of This Lord 7 It hasn’t been done yet! The Lord of host will do
it!

God Must Do It...You Can’t!



When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloakbecause she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”“You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
