Good Morning,
"The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose and the autumn crocus. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Mt. Carmel and the plain of Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty and splendor and excellency of our God. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing and everlasting joy shall shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." (Is. 35:1-2; vs.10)
Ransomed here means to sever, to release, preserve, delivered; to be redeemed. Obtain is to get; to reach; to take hold of; surely attain. We are the ransomed of the Lord, the rescued, delivered, the preserved, the redeemed and also the ones that have been severed from the world system. All week long, I've been hearing in my spirit, over and over again, these words, "hold on to My Word and My unchanging hand. Rejoice by faith, for it is by faith, that you will take hold of and surely attain all that you believe. I Am exchanging joy for weeping, gladness for dryness, and My glory for all the wilderness places. "So again I am encouraged by our Father that this is just a place of testing and we will come forth as pure gold. Listen to this verse that I have been meditating on this week. "Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the south are restored (by torrential rains); They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. He that goes forth bearing precious seed and weeping (at his needing his precious supply of grain for sowing) shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him." (Ps. 126:4-6) I am in great expectation of restoration and turning, especially of all things that I have sown seeds for. I'm sure that you are like me, seeds sown most of the time with tears. For our children, family members, church members, physical and emotional healing as well as financial prosperity. The word says that the person who sows seed in tears shall doubtless come again or return with a harvest of rejoicing. If we stand and if we don't faint, we will see how much our Father delights to turn what the enemy means to harm and hurt us with, around for our good. He said that His plan for us is for good, always good, He's always working it out for our good. So my dear family, "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." (Ps. 55:22) Sustain is to maintain, nourish, provide, bear, hold up, protect, support, defend; to supply the means necessary for living. Moved means to slip, shake, to waver, be out of course, be fallen in decay.
So let us rejoice and be glad, our Father will supply all of our means necessary for living, and He will make sure that we won't be taken off course or fall into decay. He will do it if we cast, kick and throw all of our cares on Him. This is part of the process of the fires in developing gold, to help us learn to cast all cares, worries, trials, and tribulations. Irregardless, "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness…." (Is.61:10)
"Ransomed"
