Just wanted to give you all an update on how Passover this year went here in Macedonia, AR. We had a great turnout and the atmosphere was filled with Praises to the Lord, fellowship, spiritual renewal, and communion between our spirits and hearts and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We all had a great time reading the scriptures and meditating on what all the Lord had delivered us from in the past and focusing on where He shall lead us in the future year at hand. The prayers and anointing were much needed by us all.
Sometimes we forget that the evil forces, to wit drag us down and out of the favor of God, do have powers in this evil world in which we live. However, we have to renew our thinking to know that we have been given powers over them through the BLOOD OF CHRIST! As long as we walk under the covenant of God (the Blood of Christ) we can and should execute the exercising of our power over the evil spirits (demons) of this world. This is not just a whim and wish... but a duty through our commissioning of Christ. We are not only to stay delivered from the evil ourselves... but to also help those who are struggling and desire to be set free.
I would recommend that we all read the following chapter of Isaiah and see exactly what our true commission has been all along.
Chapter 61
The work of Christ
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
The preferment
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Isaiah 61:1-11 (KJV)
May this move in your spirit this day!
Amen.
