Ears to Hear (Part 11)

Good Morning, 
  Isaiah 61: 4-7, were the scriptures that quickened my heart this morning.  As we look at it together, let's keep in mind our shifting is for divine placement.  Proper alignment is necessary for us to fulfill God's purpose and plan.  Isaiah says this, " And they (you) will rebuil the ancient ruins, the old waste places in your lives, and you will raise up the former desolations, and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations" {verse 4}  "Instead of your former shame, you shall have double (two-fold) recompense; instead of confusion (dishonor & reproach), you and your people shall rejoice in your portion: therefore in your land you shall possess the double (what you had forfeited); everlasting joy shall be yours." {verse 7}  Wow! This word is all about shifting and transitions taking place in our lives, for proper alignment and positioning. Earlier in this chapter Isaiah talks about exchanging, 'beauty for ashes', ' the oil of joy for mourning', and 'the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness'. I would like to highlight for us today that we will be able to rebuild the ancient ruins. The old places that we can build again, those places that have been torn down. Ancient denotes old; having had an existence of many years; various things that have had continuous existence of which for such a period that gives rise to a presumption of legal validity. Ancient ruins can be things (old familiar situations, circumstances,places etc.) that think that it has a legal right to still be in our lives.  It keeps cropping up in our new life.  We have to declare to these 'various things' that they have no more legal right to be in our lives because we have shifted.  Ruins or wastes denotes places of decay, desolation,those things that have collapsed, places that have been damaged or destroyed, wrecked or irreparable.We all have things or places in our lives that we came to Christ with that sound just like that. Still today the ancient ruins try to hinder our divine positioning. You must take the anointing and annihilate and destroy those ancient ruins.  Begin a rebuilding project with the power of God's Word, the diligence of prayer and the consistency of worship.  Refuse to allow the old and the ancient to be attracted to you any longer, keep your self oiled with fresh anointing. Whenever you see these old ruins, pray. "Beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; Stop the boomerang now!                             
  
                                                   Love, 
                                                   Pastor D. 

Emotions; Emotions

No one speaks their emotions.  People wear them as pieces of clothing.

You wear anger and hatred like gloves on your fist.

You wear guiltiness on your back like a jacket.

You wear your past like shoes that wear year after year.

When your are in love it is like a blindfold over your eyes.

You wear sadness like a mask on your face.  

You are a very strong person if you can take those pieces of clothing off.

Only your Lord and Savior can remove your past and bad relationships.

Lovin' it.
