Beauty for Ashes!
(Isaiah 61:1-12)
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them "Beauty for Ashes," the Oil of Joy for mourning, the "Garment of Praise" for the "Spirit of Heaviness," that they might be called "Trees of Righteousness," the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. And, they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vine dressers. But ye shall be named the "Priests of the Lord," men shall call you the "Ministers of our God," ye shall eat the "Riches of the Gentiles," and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion; therefore in their land they shall possess the double everlasting joy shall be unto them. For "I the Lord Love judgment," I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that" they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed." I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, "my soul shall be joyful in my God," for he hath Clothed me with the "Garments of Salvation," he hath Covered me with the "Robe of Righteousness," as a Bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a Bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to Spring Forth; so the Lord God will cause Righteousness and Praise to Spring Forth Before All The Nations!"
I Am Not going to preach today, however;
"I Thank God that he has given me "Beauty for Ashes!" The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and I'm anointed to preach good tidings unto the meek. I answer my call, my assignment to the brokenhearted, the captives and those that are imprisoned and bound with a resounding "Yes, Lord!" I will Comfort and give "Beauty for Ashes!" And Joy for all those that mourn. Heavenly Father I Thank You for the "Oil of Joy" that you hath given us when we mourn and I rest in you by offering up my "Garment of Praise" when my Spirit is heavy, knowing that I am rooted and grounded in you as a "Tree of Righteousness" for your Glory!" O' God, I Thank You today as I'm comforted knowing that you have taken the old, desolate waste land of our past and given us restoration for generations to come! /We are your Ministers and we do eat of the Riches of the Gentiles. We Thank Thee Today O' God for the "Doubling of our Portions! and the confusion they shall have as you Bless Us, O' God. We Thank You for our Joy, we Thank You for Clothing us with the "Garments of Salvation" and for Covering us with "Robes of Righteousness!" We stand before Thee O' God, Adorned and Decked with our Jewels as your Brides and Ornaments as your Bridegrooms ready to "Spring Forth with Righteousness and Praise Before All The Naitons!!"
In The Name of Jehovah Jireh our Provider, we lift our hands and we open our mouths and say Yes To the Call and Thank You Lord, Amen!
Loving You Eternally,
La La Lolita Lovely
