The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek. The word ‘meek’ is translated ‘poor’ or in other cases as ‘depressed’. The enemy’s complete desire is to use the tactic of fear and terror to bring oppression and depression upon man and woman kind. Once someone has brought another person to the point of absolute fear and then they become obsessed with that thing that they fear….then oppression kicks in. Then they discover that they are alone-can’t do anything about the situation-depression kicks in.
Even though Jesus promised “If ye have faith as a grain of a mustard see, yea shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible unto you – Matthew 17:20. The thing which are impossible with men are possible with God - Luke 19:27.
The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek. The depressed. The downcast. The dejected. The downhearted. The blue. The low-spirited. The sad. The weary. The meek. What are tidings? Tidings are a good word. Tidings are good news. Christ was to be a comforter. He is sent to comfort all who mourn. We are to do the same works or Christ and even greater.
What is the good news? The good news is that Jesus is no longer dead. He is alive. He rose on the 3rd day. He conquered death and the grave. He rose with all power and authority. You may be meek. You may be low. You may be depressed. But, I know a man who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we could ask or think. There is healing power in the name of Jesus. There is deliverance in the name of Jesus.
I remember a song that said, “Who can I run to?” The artist who sang that song are an old school group named Xscape. The verse in the song say: As I stand here contemplating, on the right thing to decide. Will I take the wrong direction, all my life?, Where will I go? What lies ahead of me? The chorus says: Who can I run to? To share this empty space. Who can I run to? When I need love? Who can I run to? To fill this empty space with laughter. Who can I run to when I need love?
Baby, I am here to tell you to run to Jesus. I am here to tell you to run to the savior. That is the good news. That is what’s up! That is what’s popping! That’s the glad tidings!
A lot of us have been running to the wrong source. A lot of us have been looking to the wrong man for good news. These days women are looking to other women for the good news. Just cause you get a man or get married. That ain’t the good news. You should be rooted and grounded in Jesus. Before the man come and after he leaves. The right husband will be a blessing. The wrong husband will be a curse! Accept that good news!
So many women are sitting in church picking out their perfect husband. Planning the perfect wedding. Already got the lingerie picked out. Already planning the honeymoon night.You need to get another dose of Jesus. The bible says, he that findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor from the Lord. Let me be real careful here. You better make sure it was the Lord that told him to find you. That there were no hidden agendas or ulterior motives behind it. A lot of people are fame seekers.A lot of us have made ourselves sick and depressed trying to make someone want us that don’t want us. No dress, no hair do, no make-up and no gift is going to sway him if that is not who God has ordained for you. You don’t have to put forth no effort for the right one.
The word says, He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. The word bind means to cover, as with bandage or dress. You can bind up a wound. Some people are stinking from their wounds. God has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted
.Psalm 147 reads: Praise the Lord . How good it is to sing praises to our God. How pleasant and fitting to praise him! The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is the Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
In order for the Lord to build. Something was in ruin or non existent. Some ashes were there. You might have a broken heart. That might be your ashes. Broken or wounded hearts require as much care and time as any other wound.
God has sent me to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. God wants to free your mind. Free your thoughts. Some of us are prisoners of our mind. The battle ground is the mind. If you are constantly replaying the memories of the broken heart the devil is having a field day and has enslaved you. But God holds the key to set you free!
Every wound needs 3 things. Cleansing. Protection. Time to Heal. The bible says the blood of Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin – 1 John 1 :7. Are you feeling vulnerable? Suffering with feelings of low self-esteem, emptiness, loneliness, sadness or depression? It is during your most vulnerable time that you need others to protect and comfort you. God is the closest to those with a broken heart. The bible says – he sent Jesus to heal the brokenhearted. Jesus wants you to know that your value comes from who you are, not from who you are with. You are beautiful in his sight. He loves you unconditionally. That means you don’t have to perform to get his love. Jesus knows and understands your pain and wants to heal your wounded heart. But, you have to turn over all the pieces to him. Remember, the Joy of the Lord is your strength!
You need time to heal. Have you ever picked the scab from a wound before it is properly healed? The same can happen when you have a wounded heart. You can go back and pick and relive things that happened in the past. There has to be a time of forgiveness, time of releasing the one who has hurt you and moving on. The bible instructs us to “Release and you will be Released – Luke 6:37. To release someone you have to forgive them. If you truly forgive someone (or yourself), you cannot “blame” that person, even though to the normal mind he/she is “blameworthy”. It follows that, if you don’t “blame” a person, you cannot “resent”. In the same way, if you don’t “resent”, you cannot hold “bitterness” and so if we don’t hold “bitterness” then you do not “hate” or “dislike” or “talk about” the individual. If you do not “hate”, then you are not held in “bondage”. If we release through “forgiveness” the one who has hurt us, we are releases to and can move on to greater things!!!!!!!!!!!!
I prophecy that 2007 is the acceptable year of the Lord. God is going to complete you and make you whole. When you give him your pieces. He will make you whole. Some of you are like Humpty-Dumpty that sat on the wall. You’ve had a great fall. All the Kings horses and all the Kings men cannot put you back together again. Ah! But a man named Jesus wants to step in and meet you in your time of trouble. God wants to comfort all who mourn. God wants to give you Beauty For Your Ashes. Double for your trouble. The bible says, weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. God declares new things!!!!
I hope that someone was blessed. God has chosen me to bear burden of and carry the specific anointing to reach hurting women. I have my PhD in the subject matter. Not from what I was told or heard. Not from a message I copied from someone else. But rather from my personal experiences. I look forward to the invitations to share this message first hand at your Women’s Day services, conferences and groups. Be blessed.
