For you that are on the Isaiah 25 roadmap with me for 2025, thanks for enjoying the journey. We are still in January and can already see, the first three stops in operation. I always stand amazed at the Holy Spirit and how truth in spoken into now time.

Stop one on our journey was praise. I am learning that praise is always the right response to God, when you see, hear and know what He is doing in your personally, in us corporately and in the world nationally. We will always have a reason to praise the name of the Lord.

Second stop is Babylon is falling, not will fall, is present active falling. This enforces our praise, for we are being set free from a governmental structure of control that has kept the nations in bondage.

Third stop is the response of the nations to the fall of Babylon. The Passion Translation says, “Therefore, superpower nations will glorify you and the cities of terrorist nations will revere you. You alone silence the song of tyrants.” (Isaiah 25:3,5).

Can you feel the shift in the atmosphere from tyrants to truth, from rebels to righteousness? We think we know who a leader of a nation is based on what the news tells us about them. We build an idea in our head, that forms our opinions of people we have never met. What if they are not who you think they are? What if they are for righteousness, peace and joy, which is the kingdom of God and not against it?

When the disciples saw someone not of their group casting out demons, they told Jesus about it and Jesus said, “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” (Mark 9:50) Friends there are nations for the Lord in ways we do not even understand. We must not think we know too much for the nations are responding to Babylon falling and they are one stop on the Isaiah 25 roadmap.
