Manna for Your Morning

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me (the Messiah), because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),” — Luke 4:18 (AMP) When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (worldliness, manner of life), God made you alive together with Christ, having [freely] forgiven us all our sins, (Colossians 2:13 AMP) In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us... (See Ephesians 1:7-8). How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh will not take into account, and in whose spirit there is no deceit! (Psalms 32:1-2 LSB)  And having been set free from sin, you have become the slaves of righteousness [of conformity to God’...

Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever. — Hebrews 13:8 (TLV) In Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV), Yeshua says: “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, 
to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” Yeshua is compassionate and still brings healing and wholeness into our lives. He came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (See John 10:10b AMP) In  John 8:31-33 (TLV), Yeshua said: “If you abide in My word, then you are truly My disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!” Abide in His Word and live free. It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1 NASB1995) 

Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! — Ezekiel 37:3-4 (NLT) In Ezekiel 31:1, the Spirit of the LORD carried Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones. In Ezekiel 31:7-8, Ezekiel spoke the message as instructed by God and the bones came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. Then muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies. In Ezekiel 37:9-10, He spoke the message as the LORD commanded, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army. Just as the LORD had Ezekiel speak life into dead bones, you can speak life, and the Creator of life itself will restore what is dead in your life, in your heart, in your relationships, etc. For nothing will be impossible with Go...

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. — Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV) Fear not, the LORD is with you. Instead of focusing on the fire and the flood (external conditions), look to our eternal God. He is always with us, no matter what, and He is faithful to bring us through it all. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. (Isaiah 59:19b) Keep your hope and trust in the LORD. He is the One who protects and provides.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— John 14:16 (AMP) Our heavenly Father chooses to dwell with us. How awesome is that! With the Spirit of the LORD dwelling in us, we have an infinite source of strength and wisdom. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth. Zechariah 4:6  says, ’Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. His Spirit working in us empowers us and enables us to do all that He has called us to do. Let us wait for His help and His guidance. So the LORD must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help. (Isaiah 30:18 NLT)

But in fact, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD … Micah 3:8 (AMP) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) We are filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, like the prophet Micah. It’s a fact! When we walk on the path God puts before us, being led by His Holy Spirit within us, we walk in His peace and in His power. He enables us to do all that He has called us to do. “ The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. ” (Luke 18:27) He empowers us with inner strength through His Spirit. (Ephesians 3:16) As for us, we shall walk [securely] in the name of the LORD our [true] God forever and ever. (Micah 4:5b AMP)

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; — Isaiah 61:1 (NASB) Our heavenly Father sent Jesus to earth with Good News, for all people. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. (Psalm 34:19) We may have many troubles, but the good news is that the LORD comes to the rescue each time. Jesus binds up the wounds of the brokenhearted and brings healing. If the enemy is holding you captive in any area of your life, Jesus has set you free. The doors of the prison are open, and He has pardoned all prisoners. You no longer have to remain bound or confined. He has shined a great light on those who walk in darkness (Isaiah 9:2). Rejoice! “The time of the LORD’s favor has come.” (Luke 4:19 NLT)

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. — Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV) When the enemy comes in like a flood, don’t focus on the flood. Look to Jesus, whom the wind and the sea obey. (Mark 4:39-41) Call on the name of the LORD.  Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down? Who holds the wind in his fists? Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak? Who has created the whole wide world? What is his name—and his son’s name? Tell me if you know! (Proverbs 30:4 NLT) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 NKJV) Amen!

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;” — Luke 4:18 (NKJV) If you are oppressed, Jesus came to set you free. He proclaims liberty to the captives, healing to those who are brokenhearted. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8 NLT). He sets us free from fear, worry, bondage, addictions, etc. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free (Galatians 5:13 NIV). Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1 NKJV).

  ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts . — Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) It is not in our own power and strength that we overcome, but by the Spirt of the LORD. Be filled and led by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God (Roman 8:14 NLT). As we live and walk in His Spirit, we are aligned to God’s will and we are victorious in the battles of life! He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4 NKJV).

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;” — Luke 4:18 (NKJV) Our Heavenly Father sent Jesus to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity] (Luke 4:18 AMP). Today as we celebrate America’s Independence, declare your independence as a disciple of Christ. Announce your fredom from the schemes of the enemy. He no longer has the power to oppress you, unless you give it to him. Celebrate the freedom and victory we have in Christ. Hallelujah!

It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night,
 anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones . — Psalm 127:2 (NLT)  It is not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of the LORD that we accomplish anything of value and lasting significance. Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]” —Matthew 11:28, (AMP). Continually come to Jesus and find rest for your weary soul.
