Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Isaiah 61:1 (TPT)
The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news…
As I was meditating on this powerful passage of scripture, I began to meditate on the fact that Isaiah 61:1-3 prophesied what Jesus would do and what we as the body of Christ would do in His Name under the anointing…
Isaiah 6:1-2 (TPT) “The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.” I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace …”
After verse two the emphasis changes from a messianic prophesy to a prophesy over Israel. Jesus quoted these two powerful verses in Isaiah, later recorded in Luke 4:18-19. This was Jesus’ great commission and since we are called to continue to do what Jesus did, this is our mandate as well!
Jesus explained that He was anointed and empowered by the anointing of the Holy Spirit to ‘PREACH’… To ‘TELL’ and to ‘ANNOUNCE’… “The mighty Spirit of the Lord is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me TO PREACH good news… TO TELL captives, “You are free,” and TO TELL prisoners, “Be free from your darkness. I am sent TO ANNOUNCE a new season of Yahweh’s grace.”
Jesus created the universe with His anointed words of faith – He then did much of what He was called to do with anointed words of faith… He preached, He proclaimed, He commanded and He announced a new dispensation of grace!
Words of faith are anointed by the Holy Spirit and are powerful!
The Holy Spirit anoints words of faith and power! Our words of faith are anointed for such a time as this! Use your words of faith to preach good news to the poor, to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness”, and to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace in Christ!
You are anointed to continue the works of Jesus, for such a time as this… preach, proclaim, command, and call things forth in Jesus Name, and as you do, see the miracle transformation of the world that we are living in!
Blessings on you, Nick
