The Lord's Favor

Luke 4:14-21
¹⁴ Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. ¹⁵ He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. ¹⁶ When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. ¹⁷ The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written:
¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, ¹⁹ and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.” ²⁰ He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. ²¹ Then he began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!”

Poor in spirit, this is who I preach the Good News to.
Remember you are but one beggar showing other beggars where the banquet is. I am the feast.
Feast on Me daily so that your life will be rich and full.
Your healing takes time as I stitch My Redemption into your wounds and make you whole and complete in Me.
I proclaim your freedom.
It is an open invitation and offer, not something I impose upon you.
Accept the freedom I give and live within My Freedom.
The blindness I speak of is spiritual blindness.
With Me, living in your heart, the veil is lifted so that you can be a mirror to brightly reflect My glory.
But even if smoke comes to hide Me from your sight, know that I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not mistake the Enemy's form of brokenness for the way I break you.
My brokenness is to have you yield your will and submit to Me and My will.
It is My desire to bend your stiff knees and your heart, not to bring total emotional wreckage.
My desire is for you to take on My yoke so that you may have an effective, abundant life, not to be so broken that you cannot function.
Be alert and watch for this false brokenness, for the Enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
The year of My Favor is now.
Embrace My Salvation and Freedom now.
I am not bound by time as you are.
A day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are as a day.
I am patient for your sake.
My desire is for ALL to come to repentance so none will perish.
You are a part of that promise.
I am counting on you and all believers to do your part.
Go, sow and reap a harvest.
Give generously of your time, energy, resources, love, goodness, forgiveness, and prayer.
Do it now.
When you are comfortable, reach out and make those who are uncomfortable comfortable.
Stretch and grow your character not your comfort.
When you accepted me you died to yourself so I could live in you.
Now live like I live in you.
Own it.
