“Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD” (Isa. 54:1 KJV).
All that Jesus has done for you is worth singing and shouting about. He did all the work, and we get all the benefits. That doesn’t seem fair, I know. That’s because it’s not fair. It’s God’s way of doing things. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. So, we can do as the Scripture says, just receive it and “Sing…you that did not bear…”
A barren person is somebody who could not produce on their own. Since you could not produce on your own, Jesus has done it for you, That is why you ought to sing praises to the Lord.
You have many reasons to sing and rejoice, because you are the strong, because you are the great, because Jesus did the work, because he received your sins on the cross, because he received your sickness and disease, you can sing.
Isaiah 51:11 says that everlasting joy shall be upon our heads. He said break forth into singing, and cry aloud. If you believe the report of the Lord, then instead of looking and seeing how you downsized, you ought to be looking at how you need to expand. For that you ought to sing.
There was one that couldn’t get the job done. Mankind messed it all up. He couldn’t produce healing, joy or peace. Then Jesus came and took care of our problem. Not only did He, in His mighty power, defeat the devil and provide good health and eternal life for us, He turned around and gave us the victory.
Yes, Jesus defeated Satan and placed him under our feet. Now, with the matchless name of Jesus we can maintain Satan’s defeat. When we lift up the name of Jesus, we walk in victory every time, for our deliverance is in that wonderful name.
