BARUCH 5:1-7 (2026)

BARUCH 5:1-7

1 Jerusalem, put off your garment of mourning and unhappiness, put on the splendor and glory of God forever. 2 Wrap yourself in the mantle of holiness that comes from God, put on your head the crown of glory of the Eternal One. 3 For God will show your splendor to every being under heaven. 4 He will call your name forever, “peace in justice” and “glory in the fear of the Lord.” 5 Rise up, Jerusalem, stand on the heights. Look towards the east and see your children gathered together from the setting of the sun to its rising, by the voice of the Holy One, rejoicing because God has remembered them. 6 They left you on foot, taken away by the enemy. God will lead them back, carried gloriously like royal princes. 7 For God has resolved to bring low every high mountain and the everlasting hills, to fill up the valleys and level out the ground, in order that Israel may walk in safety under the glory of God.

---- my own,

The time is coming when your mourning will turn to dancing, your sorrow to joy, and your tears will be tears of gladness, for I have heard your prayers and I will bless you and all those you love and those you plead for before Me ceaselessly. The time is coming, the hour is almost near when I will bring them home. They departed from Me and wandered in the wilderness, but I will find them, bandage their wounds,  carry them home, heal them, and restore them to My flock. I will be their Shepherd, and they will be My sheep. I will call them by their name, and they will hear and answer Me. Do not be troubled, do not be anxious, do not be afraid. All that you ask for is all that I desire to give, and I desire to give so much more than you can ever ask for or think of. I AM God, and I desire that all those who are Mine shall prosper, living holy lives pleasing to My Father. Pray with confidence. Pray boldly. Ask in faith for all that you need. Make all your needs known to Me, and I will give all you ask for according to My endless and incomparable riches and glory, and you will be awestruck by the goodness and generosity of My love. Have faith. Do not doubt that all you ask for in faith will be given to you.

ISAIAH 43:5-7, 18-19 (2026)

ISAIAH 43:3-7, 18-19

3 For I am your savior, I, the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel. I give Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. 4 Since you are precious in my sight, and important—for I have loved you, I give people in exchange for you and nations in return for your life. 5 Fear not, for I am with you: I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. 6 I will say to the north, “Give them up!” and to the south, “Do not hold them!” Bring back my sons from afar, my daughters from the ends of the earth, 7 all those called by my name all I have created for my glory.
18 But do not dwell on the past, or remember the things of old. 19 Look, I am doing a new thing: now it springs forth. Do you not see? I am opening up a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

---- my own,

These are My promises and My assurances to you today. Take heart. Lift up your head. Dry your tears. Cease your sighing. All that I have said I will do, I WILL DO. I AM God and not man, I always keep My promises. I have called each of you by My Name. I have anointed and consecrated you. I have grafted you to My Body. All those who have strayed far away I will seek, and I will carry them home. Be not afraid for the salvation of those you pray for without ceasing. I have heard your prayers. I will seek and save. Pray with faith, hope, and trust that I, who have said, 'Trust in God, trust also in Me,' have said so because I desire you to place all your trust in Me and My Word. Have I ever made a promise to you and failed to keep it? In all your experiences of Me have I failed to do just what I said I would? Be not afraid, ---- mine, but watch out for how I AM going to surprise and delight you as I show favor upon favor to you and those you love. Your heart will rejoice and exult, and you will sing endless praises to Me, to My Father and the Holy Spirit. Give thanks now, praise now, even before you see the blessings bestowed on you and your loved ones, for I have given you My Word and My Word is true.
