Title: Experience it, live it, talk it.
"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.”Luke 4:18-19 NKJV.
The gospel or good news is that Jesus Christ shed blood to release upon your life forgiveness of sin and regeneration by the Holy Spirit resulting in eternal life.
He wore a crown of thorns, suffered lack and so doing broke the curse of poverty. He was cursed by hanging on a tree so that you may receive the blessing of Abraham. (Galatians 3:13-14).
The beating needful to bring you peace and emotional wellbeing was upon Him and by His stripes He bore your disease and sickness (Isaiah 53:4-6, 1Peter 2:24).
He defeated and disarmed satan and demons publicly on the cross (Colossians 2:15) so that you can be set from their bondage and have the freedom to serve God.
Point of Reflection:
What Jesus did for you translates to: 1. An experience of the joy of salvation, the peace of God that passes knowledge, a self assurance and satisfaction about who you are (spiritual well being). 2. Physical and mental well being-God wants you well. 3. God wants you to experience a life of blessing and bliss. 4. God wants you delivered from every bondage of the enemy satan and demons. 5. God wants you filled and empowered by His Holy Spirit.
Experience these by believing, meditating upon His word and making His word soak the inside of you. Then claiming and declaring His promises. How do you know you have believed a promise? When you are able to speak it and declare it.
Do you desire to experience Luke 4:18-19 to the full? Go through each segment of this scripture, asking - Has this happened to me? For example: Preach gospel to the poor - Do I feel spiritually enriched?
Proclaim liberty to captives- Have I been delivered from every bondage of satan and demons?
Recovery of sight to the blind- Have my spiritual eyes been opened to see and understand spiritual realities?
Set at liberty those who are oppressed- Have I been delivered from fear? Do I feel free to serve God? Do I feel at peace within myself?
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord- Have I experienced the mercies of God upon my life? Have I experienced His grace? Am I celebrating His favour upon my life everyday?
When you are ready-
Prayer:Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for Jesus Christ and the sacrifice of the cross. Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life. Thank you for the gift of eternal life and setting me free to serve God. Thank you for setting me free from fear and every form of oppression by the enemy. Thank you for setting me free from poverty and lack and for granting me the blessing of Abraham. Thank you for healing all my diseases and sicknesses. I celebrate your grace and favour upon my life. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
