The Spirit of the Lord is upon me!
Posted by appolus on September 16, 2022
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon 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 liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
This glorious Scripture was fulfilled when Christ stood in the temple and expounded this verse and told the world, that this Scripture was fulfilled in their hearing. The Spirit of the Lord God was upon Jesus. It is He who is anointed to preach the good news to the poor. He may speak through us, but by the power of the Holy Spirit it is Christ Himself that speaks to the poor. Only Jesus can heal the brokenhearted. Only Jesus can proclaim liberty to the captives, and only Jesus can free those captives from their chains and He would do it all through us, the priests of the Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit. The dove descended upon the Lord Jesus and we must be immersed in the same Holy Spirit. We rise up in that power. We are a royal priesthood, a Holy Generation. We are the chosen ones of the Lord, royal priests in a royal priesthood.
When they see us brothers and sisters, they must see Jesus. We are a manifestation of Jesus to the world by and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Everything is done in the name of Jesus because there is no other name under heaven whereby a man can be saved. There is no other name under heaven whereby a man can be freed from His bonds. There is no other name under heaven whereby a man can be healed. There is no other name under heaven whereby the blind eyes are opened and the crushed heart is restored. We saints are clothed in the garments of salvation. We are covered by the robes of righteousness just as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Just as a garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so to the Lord our God causes righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. We are a living demonstration of His righteousness and we can do nothing more than praise Him from the depths of the inexhaustible wells of our salvation. Never forget who you are in HIm brothers and sisters.
A Call To The Remnant

Amen. There is no good thing in us, except Christ who lives in us. We should be bearing good fruit in showing we belong to Christ and he lives in us and we are in him. Little things mean so much to the Lord. A smile to a stranger. A kind word to cheer somebody up. A good deed. A show of gratitude. An attitude of thankfulness. He is the head. And we are his body. We won’t just be judged by the things we do in this world, but also by the things we did not do that were afforded us and well within our ability. I want to hear from his lips one day, “Well done good and faithful servant. You were faithful in a few things…” Be faithful with what we have that he has given us, even if it is only a little. He won’t give us any more than we can handle. The goal is not to be big. The goal is to be to be small. Let Christ Jesus be magnified. Just some things to think about. Have a blessed weekend everybody.
