Isaiah 61 is the call to the live the exchanged life. Jesus came up out of the wilderness in Luke 4 and declared this at the beginning of His ministry. He commissioned us to be a redeemed people who shine because we are healed. The year of Jubilee is our inheritance in Christ! By His grace, we are given back a healed life (beauty) for the ashes of our brokenness. For this to occur, the gospel must be applied to our souls for the fullness of Isaiah’s mandate to be fulfilled. Beauty for ashes comes because dead places within our hearts are restored and resurrected. This is a call to New Testament prayer ministry! Humans are like “lie magnets” and often internalise experiences as lies which exacerbates them. For example, most people struggle with a root of rejection from childhood. The fruit of rejection unhealed, often looks like deep insecurity and a sense of self-loathing which can manifest as envy, comparisons and even as criticism and judgements. Right now, there’s a shaking going on, and its revealing all the unhealed things. Our mandate is to keep on being healed (it’s not over yet) and then become an army of heart healing specialists! One of the best ways to begin to heal, is to first validate our own heart. If it hurt -then it needs to be validated and healed. Beloved, of all the cultures in the world, we should be the most validating culture, that brings this healing! Let’s remember the admonition from James 5: “Pray for one another that you may be healed!” Let's receive this ministry and give it away this week!
