~All People Will Learn About God~ -Isaiah 65:1-16-

This passage talks about the evil people that make God angry versus those who really honor Him. Fake Believers vs. True Believers

Those who say they believe God, but act otherwise make God angry. Those who believe in luck, in fate, as opposed to praying to God for those blessings...they make God angry. God looks down on them and see every single thing they do, but they continue to sin against God. Even still, they call themselves believers, they call themselves holy people, that other sinners aren't allowed to be near them/to be associated with them. These are the people that make God angry. These are the people that won't receive blessings, won't receive salvation. God tries to speak to these people, but they're so blinded by their own foolishness, ignorance, selfishness, and etc. that they can't hear or see Him.

On the other hand, true believers know to pray to God for blessings. They know to believe and serve only Him. They are the ones to receive many different blessings from God because God sees what they do. He sees who they are. This makes God happy/proud.

We should ask God to shed away the layers of sin, guilt, selfishness, foolishness, ignorance, and whatever is blinding us from seeing Him, whatever is covering our ears, making us deaf from listening to Him. Just like the song, 'Hear Us From Heaven,' we should sing: open the blind eyes, unlock the deaf ears, come to your people as we draw near, hear us from heaven, touch our generation, we are your people, crying out in desperation.
