Quiet Time Coaching Episode 451 | New Thing Series — Part 6 | “Deliverer” | Malcolm Cox

Introduction
A new thing! Welcome to your daily devotional podcast anchored in Isaiah 43:19: 'See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.' I'm Malcolm Cox. Join me in January and February for a daily devotional podcast aimed at inspiring your personal times of quiet with God. 

In the first few podcast episodes we will set the scene by looking at the entirety of Isaiah chapter 43. Today it is verses 14-17.

“This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I will send to Babylon and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians, in the ships in which they took pride.
 I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”
 This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters,
 who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:”
(Isaiah 43:14-17 NIV11)

- He will defeat all the enemies who oppress you
- He guarantees deliverance: Because He is your Redeemer, the Holy One
- He guarantees the defeat of Babylon
    - The reason: He is the Lord, your Holy One, Creator, King
    - The surety of judgment: He will utterly destroy the enemy— just as surely as He destroyed the Egyptian army in the Red Sea, Ex. 14:26–28

““The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,  to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”” (Luke 4:18-19 NIV11)
