The Door of Grace
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound” Isaiah 61:1
Isaiah is prophesying of the coming of our Anointed One, Jesus. In Luke 4 we can see the words come to life by Jesus himself. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, healing for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.” Luke 4:18-19
Jesus has opened the door of grace for those who are lowly, depressed and held captive to their brokenness. Yesterday in The Walk we talked about allowing the Holy Spirit to restore tenderness to your heart. This allows you to walk through this door of grace. Grace opens us up to allow the Holy Spirit to ask us questions about our hearts. Pastor Tim has said many times the order in which scripture is given is important. Let’s look at the order of what Jesus is saying. He’s come to preach good news, to give hope. Where do you need hope restored? We see and have experienced loss that causes us to lose hope in the future, but Jesus is here to restore hope.
He is here to heal your broken heart. Take a moment here and ask Him- where is my heart broken? Oftentimes we walk around not realizing our hearts are broken yet the fruit of our life shows brokenness.
Truth is, it doesn’t matter why it is broken. Maybe it is a choice you made or a choice someone else made that effected your life, either way, He is here to set you free from the captivity of the thoughts in your mine, the fear you carry about certain things happening, the anger and resentment towards your parents or family member because of pain they have caused you. When you walk through the door of grace and surrender your pain and brokenness to Jesus YOU ARE FREE!
It is the year of Jubilee! It is the acceptable time of Yahweh to set you on the journey He has designed just for you.
Are you ready to go on this beautiful adventure with Jesus? It isn’t easy facing the brokenness, but you are not alone He walks with you in every moment. As we journey from the wilderness to a beautiful promise land, I sense an excitement in the air and a time of celebration.
“God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness, I can see the path ahead. Psalms 18:28
Ask Yahweh to shine His light on those hidden parts and allow His brightness to shine on your future.
