Jesus Came To Set Us Free

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.

Isaiah 61:1

When we walk in the Spirit of God we are able to do things beyond our wildest dreams… Things which we or others thought to be impossible become possible in the Spirit of God… As we prepare for the coming year it is imperative that we first prepare our hearts and minds for the favor of God… This 61^st chapter speaks to the year of God’s favor and it is of the utmost importance that we begin to think outside of the proverbial box and stop placing limitations on what God is able to do… As we sit just 2 days prior to a new year, we also sit at the door our destiny and God’s divine will which has not timetable… You don’t have to wait until January 1, 2013 to begin to experience the favor of the Lord… 

The Israelites faced many hardships, many trials and tribulations; however, the year of God’s favor was the coming Messiah which would bind up the brokenhearted and proclaim freedom for the captives… You have been held captive for far too long… You have been oppressed for too many years and God’s favor is ready to pour out into and upon your life… Jesus came that you might have life and have it more abundantly; He has already loosed the chains, He has already paved the way and now is your time to walk in liberation… No longer do your past mistakes serve as restrictions to your divine destiny; no longer do skeletons in your closet serve as millstones around your neck… In the gospel of Luke chapter 4 tells us that Jesus was in the synagogues; 

He stood up, took the scroll and read this very passage from the prophet Isaiah… The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. After reading this passage the word of God tells us that rolled the scroll back up and handed it to the attendant, Jesus then sat down with all eyes fastened on Him and said "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” The message that we take from this reading and the recoding in the gospel of Luke is today… We have the spirit of God living in us and walking among us… We can reach the loss soul; we can give sight the blind and a ray of hope to this dark and confused world… This is your time, this is your season and you will walk in the prosperity of the Lord because His spirit surely rests upon you…

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
