Isaiah 64

Every one of us feels the need to pray more—and more earnestly. The prophet Isaiah gives us a perfect example of this in his prayer to the Lord. From Isaiah 64, Pastor Robert Fonseca gives us an example of heartfelt prayer and shows us what it means to ask God for divine intervention.

Notes

God saves those who follow Him

Israel has not lived up to this standard, so how can they be saved?

1 Samuel 8:5-9

Romans 1:24-32

The solution:
1. Acknowledging the Lord as their God 

2. Acknowledging they are not God

3. Acknowledging and repenting of their sins 

4. Asking for God’s help 

What do we learn from Isaiah’s prayer?

1. Believe the Lord intervenes on behalf of His people

James 1:6-7

2. Remember your sins before the Lord

Isaiah 59:1-2

3. Ask the Lord to intervene on your behalf

4. Live faithfully as you wait on the Lord’s intervention
