The Year of the Lord's Favor..."Do you want to get well?"

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has annointed me,
To preach good news to the poor, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God,
To comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion--
To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of
a spirit of despair.  (Isaiah 61:1-3,49:8-9)

God has spoken concerning the coming salvation through His Son Jesus Christ and
has fulfilled his promise. 

(Luke 4:16-21)
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went
into the synogogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where
it is written:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach
  good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
 and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclain the
 year of the Lord's favor."
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
The eyes of everyone in the synogogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying
to them, "Today this scripture is fullfilled in your hearing."   


Amen. Praise God! What God promises us... He always fulfills.
God has sent His Son Jesus Christ so that through Him we can be healed and free. 
Those who feel that there is no hope can see true hope...Those who feel they have no
value to God...will see that Jesus died for them personally. He came to free us from
our guilt for the sins we have committed, and better yet...to give us an abundant life.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might
have life and have it to the full. (John 10:10)

Do you need deliverance from your bondage? Do you want to get well? (John 4:6)
Ask God to help you and then open your heart. Trust in Him, knowing that He is the only
One who can set you free. Ask Him to forgive your sins, and live your life for Him.
God Promised: I will extend peace to her like a river. (Isaiah 66:12)

Jesus has invited us all to come to Him:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
(Mathew 11:28-29)
