Has something, a situation, an emotion, a person held you captive, held you prisoner? Do you find yourself broken-hearted, in despair? Is your life in ashes, in ruin? Do you feel like you got the short end of the stick in every situation?
Have you met Jesus? If not, see below. If so, remind yourself of the below scripture! Jesus came with power, anointing and authority to break ALL of that off of you! LET HIM!
In a generation of entitlement, let’s focus on what we actually are entitled to if we are a child of the King, a follower of Christ. We are ENTITLED to good news, a fixed heart, freedom from anything that would keep us bound, favor, comfort, beauty, joy and praise. God wants to do all of this in our lives to put us on display and show just what He can do with a life that is given to Him!
“The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim GOOD NEWS to the POOR. He has sent me to BIND UP the BROKEN-HEARTED, to proclaim FREEDOM for the CAPTIVES and RELEASE from darkness for the PRISONERS, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s FAVOR and the day of vengeance of our God, to COMFORT all who MOURN, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of BEAUTY instead of ashes, the oil of JOY instead of mourning, and a garment of PRAISE instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV
