The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me. Because the Lord has anointed Me to to preach good tidings to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound -Isaiah 61:1.
It's our Father's will for all his children to preach good tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and open the prison for those who are bound. Of course this can only be done through Jesus Christ as we can do all things through Him who strengthens us (Phil. 4:13). And our God requires this from us collectively in addition to our individual work according to our gifts given to us for the benefit of the body of Jesus, the church.
In Luke 4:18 Jesus taught from this same verse -Be anointed to teach the gospel to the poor (Salvation); to heal the brokenhearted (emotional wholeness); to proclaim liberty to the captives (freedom); and recovery of sight to the blind (healing). Then He let us know that He's the vine, we are the branches and Our Father is the vinedresser. If we are not connected to Him in this life, we will be gathered and thrown in the fire and burned.
Prayer: Lord help us to fulfill your perfect will for our lives. Amen.
Encouragement: Will to do His will.
