The Spirit

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:17-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And He did all of that for me! 

He opened my eyes! He set me free! He gave me beauty for ashes! He healed my broken heart and gave me joy! Everything He said He would do, He did! 

And He used someone, for which He had done the same! 

Now, I too, can't help but proclaim the Good News that He will do it, also for you! 

So, if you have tried everything else and found no comfort, no remedy, no future; there is One on whom, of which you can set your hope! He is waiting for you to say, I surrender! 

When we come to the end of ourselves THAT is when we find Him! 

Give up!

Repent from your sin and make Him LORD! 

Even so - MARANATHA!
