There are eagles that are about to soar in great flight.  They have streamlined their lives and allowed Me, their Lord to shave away the weights that have kept them grounded in the past.  Weaning them from all that they thought was their source and their necessity.  They have truly discovered I Am their one and only source.  Watch the eagles, climb higher into My presence. They will not settle for the commonplace.  Every step of faith has brought them closer to the clouds of My glory.  The eagles will experience the great torrential rains that I have promised in My Word.  The rains are coming to refresh and blow away all that is stagnant, clearing away all that obscured their vision.  My eagles will create a refreshing wind, for they will carry My anointing and drip it on all who have been waiting for more of Me.  This will increase the desire for all the eaglets in My Kingdom to produce a fresh wind of glory in their environment.  All of My children will desire to grow up and take their place in the army of their God.  Holiness and maturity will be their aim and their goal.  All of those who love Me will seek me again as they did at first.  This fresh wind will start fires, fires will begin to glow. The wind and the fires will cause a dynamic outburst of the Spirit.

New levels of My Spirit producing new levels of My glory.  My people will now walk in sustained levels of power and authority.  This will be the greatest time ever known to My people.  Healings that will encompass spirit, soul and body will be seen as evidence of My favor.  My eagles will be at the forefront of this great time of My manifested glory and healings, yet humility will fan the flame for greater manifestations.  Those who have developed their wings have done so through great seasons of endurance.  I know the many times that they have laid down their own desires to see that Mine would be done.  Such an awakening of my eagles will cause My watchmen to become more alert. Their times of intercession will be fanned by the fires of purpose and their eyes will see with great distinction.  My shepherds will be quickened by the rushing of the wind of my eagles.  The meals that they feed my people will be served with truth and in power.  They will be revived by the same wind, feeding My people with fresh manna.  My people will go throughout their territory bringing restoration to their land.  Rebuilding all that has laid in ruins because of the devastation of the past generations and of the present troubling to their lands.  They will not be distracted any longer by the lies of the enemy.  They will work diligently on one hand while warring for the Kingdom with the other.  This wind of the Spirit will cause supernatural waves of energy, they will never grow weary as they march right on to the new level.  All that they have gone through has been preparation for this time.  The set time for My eagles has come!   My favor will be your great reward.

So I say to you, stir yourself up once again to loving Me.  Revive the fires of your prayer life, ignite your quiet times in My Word, where you learned to hear My voice. Speak life to your times of worship, and you will be transported into My Presence.  Refuse to stop running, and you will see that you be like
a watered garden and an ever-flowing spring.  You will be raised up on high to soar once again as a renewed eagle!

“Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle” (Psalm 103:5)

“And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden , And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste]; You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (Isaiah 58:11-12)

Good morning,

I Am restoring the joy of your salvation all you need to do is believe it. I say to rejoice in Me always, for I am doing wonderful things, even behind the scenes. I Am bringing to pass every word I have spoken. I Am not man that I shall lie. Every word I speak is a yes and amen over you so rejoice, always rejoice, knowing that what I say, I do, I will do. I always finish. I always complete and so I say to you this year begins to mark a new year for you. A new year of victory, a new year of walking it out, a new year of not backing down to the enemy. This is your year of glory. This is your year that your head will be held high only because you make a choice and you choose to hold it high. 

Great and mighty men and women shall be forged from fire. Everyone wants the easy way, but I Am preparing great and mighty people that have been brought through the fire. They shall be different and unique, and an anointing shall rest upon them that others have never seen. Signs and wonders shall follow them. They shall not have to run after anything in the kingdom, but because they stand for My word and speak My word, I will back them up with signs, wonders and miracles. It is for anyone who chooses to do My word, for anyone who is determined to walk wholeheartedly. It is for anyone who will run the race and not quit. It is for anyone who is determined to put their hand to the plow of My Word and not let go. It is for anyone who will not look back at the circumstances or situations that surround them daily, for I have overcome everything and I have made you overcomers. I have made you victorious. I have made you the head and not the tail. I made you above and not beneath. You are the ones that  hold the truth in your heart and in your mouth and in your whole being. If you will allow Me to now begin to dig out those dry places, those hard places, and allow the water of My Word to soak you and marinate you in My Word so that every time the enemy pokes you, all that comes forth from you is more of My word. Not your circumstances or your situation, but you will rehearse My Words.  You will become the people who say what I say by rehearsing My word despite the circumstances and situations that you face. For you know that your end is always good, for I made a promise to you that I will bring you to the end, and that end is good. I have spoken it. I have determined it. There is nothing but good for you in store. So keep your head held up. Don’t look to the left or to the right. Circumstances and situations are all around you. Yes, you are enveloped in difficult times but I say to you, look up for your God is about to come. Look up for your redemption draws nigh, look up for I Am soon to come for My bride that is ready. Everything you see is temporary. Everything you hold dear on this earth is temporary except souls only souls. That is what I Am after. I have given you a fresh, new banner to run and many shall follow the banner that you hold up for Me. They will see that I Am victorious therefore you will be victorious too.

“Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be  content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am for I have learned how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].” (Philippians 4:11-13)

“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.” (Psalm 51:12)

“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great (transcendent and overwhelming) power and [all His kingly] glory (majesty and splendor). Now when these things begin to occur, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption (deliverance) is drawing near.” (Luke 21:27-28)

Good morning, 

A new mercy, a new grace, and a special anointing for My people to run this end-time race. There will be some standing in awe, because they will recognize you are different than them. It will be My anointing placed on you to do the great and mighty works that I called you to do. I anointed you before you were born for this set time, a special season. You are right now coming to that place. This is your appointed time, so stand up and be counted among My end-time remnant. I have anointed you for this final hour and know that even though the days may be hard, you will go through them lightly because the anointing will rest upon you. You will be like a deer skipping across the mountain. You will not be weighed down or heavy-hearted anymore. I have taken your tears and I anointed them, and I will multiply a fresh new joy, a greater grace for this final race. You will never be weary anymore as you pray in the Spirit, you will see the great things that I have in store for you now, as well as in the future. So just be and do the things I called you for. Do not be stopped by the enemy. He is a liar anyway, everything he tells you does not come from Me.  So you go on, you go on in victory and you do the things I have anointed you for.

“He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding!” (Daniel 2:21)

“You will arise and have mercy and loving-kindness for Zion, for it is time to have pity and compassion for her; yes, the set time has come [the moment designated].” (Psalm 102:13)

“Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—” (Jude 1:24)

Good morning,

A generation that believes, a generation that believes My Word. I have waited, looked, and longed for people who would believe what I speak and walk with Me. In each generation, I have had a few who took Me at My Word but waited for a whole generation to believe that everything I said is a yes and amen. I have longed for those people to come forth. You have been birthed for this generation and now you stand ready to walk and do exploits in My name. The fullness of the matter has not yet been seen for I have anointed you with a fresh anointing for the time that you are living in. It will go beyond your understanding and comprehension if you just step over into the unknown with Me. If you would release those things of the past and press forward so that you are not encumbered. The weight of this world, the weight of sin, the weight of everything around about you that tries to hinder you from being exactly who I have called you to be will not hold any power. To open up and let the world see that I have created great men and women in their midst who shall go and do the work of their calling. I have called you to boldness and not be afraid of the enemy. Yes, his voice is loud, but Mine is greater says the Spirit of grace and mercy. You will do mighty works unashamedly, unafraid, and boldly declaring who I Am. I know that you think that you do not have the mouth to speak, but I have anointed you and I will rest upon your lungs and your voice and I will rest upon you and know that you are never too old to carry the charge. I will anoint you from on high to do exactly what I appointed you to do. Before you were in your mother’s womb I knew you and I appointed you for this day, this moment. Great shall be your peace, great shall be everything that I have anointed you to do. You shall walk and men shall say, “Where has she been? Where has he been?” He has been in the wilderness with his great and mighty God forming and making him able to stand through difficult times. Yes, that is you I say. Yes, that is you.

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalms 119:165)

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”(Daniel 11:32)

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1)

Good morning,

This is the generation that I’ve been waiting for. 

This is the generation that I’ve been waiting for.

Those who are seated with Me in heavenly places. 

Those who can see things before they happen because they trust in Me. 

They have ears to hear and eyes to see things before they come to pass says the Lord.

I Am opening up mysteries to a generation who are catching up to Me and who are hungry for Me. They will open their ears and eyes and know that I Am downloading secrets to succeed in the days ahead.

I have invited you into the secret council of the most high God. I Am revealing to you things that other generations, your ancestors wish they would have known.  You are going to carry out My plan in a fresh new way, in a powerful way. I Am placing on you a fresh new robe, an anointed robe.  A robe where you can walk through the fires of this world through trials and tribulations and not allow the flames to touch your anointing because you are hidden in Me. You have been pursuing Me for a while and you have found the secret place.  

Those who are hungry and thirsty I said that I would fill to overflowing. I invite all who are outside of My protection to come under My mighty arms and be inaccessible to the forces of darkness. Those who know their God will be strong and do mighty exploits in the times that are ahead. These are My children, My own My very own that are taken underneath My wings that cover them and shield them from the things that are coming upon the earth before I come and bring My children away to the place that I have prepared for them. I have been longing to take My own to Myself. And those who are prepared and ready I will receive.  My children stay steady. Stay in My love and My presence. Stir yourself up in the Word. Everything that you have walked through with My Word will cause you to become stronger and wiser. That enemy of ours desired to use those things to cause you to stumble and fall but I turn those very trials to your good and benefit. I will bring you closer to Me if your eyes are on Me not on the things of this world for they will surely pass away but I Am consistent and faithful to the end. I will never pass away, My words will not falter nor fail you.  Again know that the earth may tremble and fail but you stay faithful, for I Am faithful to you. Pursue Me, stay humble, and together We will do great things. 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

“I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” (Psalm 61:4)

“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Ephesians 2:6)

Because of your faithful love for Me, I will begin to sweep you away.  In quiet moments of our intimate relationship, as you climb into My arms, I will bring you even closer. 

 
Good morning,
 
    Because of your faithful love for Me, I will begin to sweep you away.  In quiet moments of our intimate relationship, as you climb into My arms, I will bring you even closer.  There you will begin to hear Me as I sing songs of Our victorious love.  You will arise from that place of rest and become a recognizable force for the enemy, you will war with My Word as you have never done before.  A strong anointing shall rest upon you as you begin to rise to the level of the anointing that I have placed upon you.  Because you have remained loyal to Me when it was easier for you to turn your back on Me because you did not understand the season that you were in.  You remembered your first love and kept the flame burning for Me.  I Am enamored by your good love for Me.  My sweet dove, My little ones who have looked always on My countenance.  You are about to experience from heaven open doors, take this season and bring to Me those things that will expand My kingdom.  I Am now increasing the spirit of boldness, so that you may accomplish now, what was an impossibility in times past.  Increase revelation flowing to you in the night season that will shine brighter than your noonday sun.  Light that clears away all that darkness left behind, no more not knowing, but seeing clearly what I Am doing in this season.  You are ones that will begin now, to display My glory and My righteousness.  There will be no stopping you now.  You have shaken off the slumber, the weights, the cares, take flight My mighty eagles.  I will show you the vastness and the deepness of My heart, for you have been crying out; "more, more, I know that there is more of You and your awesomeness."  I Am responding to that deep longing and yearning of your heart, My bride, My fair one.  I Am arising now to your aide and your rescue.  Your meditation of Me has brought to you revelation upon revelation.  For those who have not hearkened to My voice, the Spirit of the Lord says come, draw closer to Me, I am gathering My loves together.  Pursuing Me has My rewards with it.  In this place of safe refuge I will begin to shower you with healing waters, right now feel the soothing rivers flow.  Flowing through all the broken places, the parched and stilled places of your heart and mind.  I have never forsaken you, My dear ones.  I was there when you were being assaulted, it was Me, that kept you alive and kept your mind sound.  I never abandoned you, you are always Mine as long as you allow Me and keep your eyes on Me.  I Am now hemming you in for your own protection and for your own keeping.  Remain in Me, as I will remain steady and faithful to you.
 
    "Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit." (Revelation 22:12)
 
    "But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward. (1 Corinthians 3:12-14)
 
    "Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen, The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth My praise [and they shall do it]." (Isaiah 43:19-21)

The day is far spent and night is coming and I require My children to begin to work diligently while it is still light.  

 
Good morning,
 
    The day is far spent and night is coming and I require My children to begin to work diligently while it is still light.  Do the things I have called you to do and do them quickly.  You may not think that you are qualified but because I have anointed you, you are qualified and I will bless everything that you are doing and have done.  I will count it a blessing and you will receive the latter day anointing for it. You will have the double portion of the former and the latter anointing to accomplish the work. You will receive the reward laid up that I have for all My children who obey Me.  Those tasks that I have given you may seem small but it causes a whole world to change.  I Am not asking you to do something ordinary, for you are out of the ordinary, set apart for My use, but I Am asking you just to simply follow Me and you will find yourself stepping into the extraordinary. The things that I have called, set, and appointed for you to enjoy in these last days will be different.  I know the way that is why I Am requiring you to lean on Me.  You will have great peace as all chaos breaks out, you will remain in peace because you have put your hands in Mine and allowed Me to lead you to those things that I have called, anointed, and appointed you for this time and in this season.  Looking not at the things that you see, but to Me, I Am the light bringer.  I will illuminate every step that you take. I will become brighter as you rely on Me and not your senses.  I Am up to doing something new, not seen by you or others.  Know that we will do greater works in the days ahead for you have put your trust in Me.  We must do the works that I first put in your hands, for I have counted you faithful in your service to the Kingdom.  Know that your faithfulness will cause you to abound with blessings.
 
    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (John 14:12)

(Jer. 33:2-3)

The enemy has tried to make you believe that dying is bad but I say to you to die daily, every day, and death is good because it brings a new freshness from you.

Good morning,
  
    The enemy has tried to make you believe that dying is bad but I say to you to die daily, every day, and death is good because it brings a new freshness from you.  I kill everything that would have hindered you from walking in the power and the authority that I ordained you to, so in that death dying of those things happen and then a fresh new light comes forth.  I said to you through the pressing and the crushing are bringing forth new wine.  So I Am saying to you, though you may feel like you have been dead and the dirt has been placed over you, rejoice in this one fact, that when you are resurrected you will become new, you will walk in a fresh new revelation, a fresh new insight, fresh new power.  So we say death where is your sting?  There is no sting for those who are believers for you shall arise new full of power and authority, revelation and insight that you never possessed before the dying.  So I say to you go ahead and die so that the new and living anointing might come forth.  Do not be afraid of dying, says the Spirit of grace, for you, must die daily so that you can experience the new wine as it comes forth then it can intoxicate everyone around you because it is more than they can withstand or stand against.  This is the whole new dawning of a fresh new man!
 
    I Am calling you to that place of death so that you are no longer afraid of what men say because some of the men that you need to speak to have authority and power and they have caused you to tremble and buckle in your knees and you have not said what I called you to say because of fear.  But now all fear is gone and you will walk in the freshness and the boldness and the authority because you have met with Me and you heard My Word to you.  Now you shall go forth unhindered by the spirit of fear.  For the spirit of fear has caused men to walk in doubt and unbelief but you shall be free with boldness and authority yet hinged and held by My love.  This is the brand new man that has come upon this earth that men will see that they are walking with God, for you shall begin to be just like Me.  Everything you say and do will be instructed by Me, you will learn how to close your mouth and shut it down and only speak when I speak for the power and boldness and authority shall back up every word that you profess and say and I will bring it to pass.  For I Am waiting for My children to say what I say and then all heaven will be at your disposal, and you will know that heaven has touched earth because you have encountered Me in that garden in the secret place. 
 
    "The wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion." (Pro. 28:1)
 
    "We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might [habitually] live and behave in newness of life. For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]." (Rom. 6:4-5)
 
    "Neither is new wine put in old wineskins; for if it is, the skins burst and are torn in pieces, and the wine is spilled and the skins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved." (Mtt. 9:17)

It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall. 

Spiritual-watchman
 
Good morning,
 

    It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall.  The watchman will see and hear that the morning is coming, for the night is almost over and joy is coming in this new morning!  I have placed each one of My children in their most effective station, for the things that will come in this year.  Prepare to succeed, when all others fail who don't know Me.  I have placed upon My own a seal of My anointing which is able to forcefully resist any other agent that will try to break through.  Yet, understand this, that the enemy of your soul will not stand idly by, while you are applying force.  Be prepared to fight the fight to win.  As a watchman you must be able to have eagle vision, to see from afar the schemes and the strategies of the enemy.  Know that he will try to bring a level of confusion to your mind in order to get you to let up.  See, this is not the time for halting.  I will arise because of the groans of the needy and the cries of the faithful ones, and I will put you in a place of safety.  I have not hidden My face from you neither have I forgotten you.  I will counsel you with My eye and by My words.  So, hear and see. 
    I have heard the cries of My children to see more of My presence, and I will manifest Myself to those who are looking to see and listening to hear.  This time will be unique for My children who are seeing and hearing, for the old and the new are coming together to disclose My greatness like never before.  Keep pressing toward Me in worship, for you are closer than you have ever been to breaking through barriers.  These barriers are those that have been set by the forces of religion, this world system, the enemy, as well as the limitations set by your own mind and your generation.  Open your eyes that you may begin to behold the wonders that are Me.  Not just here in this earth realm, but in the heavenlies and also within you.  You are of the God-kind.  There is much more in you than even you know.  Yet, some have tapped into the deep places, the wells of living waters on the inside of them.  It is not only in you to have the ability to create but also in the God-given imagination that is given to produce more uniquely.  I Am removing the lids and the caps off of those who have sought Me diligently and are dying daily to the old man.  All others will be amazed and baffled by what will break out from you.  It is because you have lifted Me high in your heart, now know that your humility has caused you to be lifted high.  Expect to witness My hand as I execute and accomplish My plans upon the difficult and troublesome testings and struggles in your life.  Remember, stand upon the walls and hear and see, do not be easily moved by any other thing.
 
    "So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." (Is. 55:11)
 
    "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth." (Is. 21:6)
 
    "Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Ps.30:4-5)

Reclaim the secret place, it is a place you have been before, there you know me better.  Come, there is a different anointing waiting there for you.

Oil
 
Good morning,
 
     Reclaim the secret place, it is a place you have been before, there you know me better.  Come, there is a different anointing waiting there for you.  
     It is where I comfort all that mourn, it is where I apply the balm of Gilead, it is where I set the captives free.  It is the secret place.  I Am calling you there.  I give you beauty for all your ashes.  This place of restoration is so that you can run longer.  I place My arms underneath your shoulders and I hold you and gird you up.  I Am giving you oil of joy for all your mourning.  It is an exchange place, it is where we meet, and here I place My love upon you.  I speak words of encouragement and words of comfort where I cause you to lift your head up, as you have been battle worn.  It is in My presence where there is fullness of joy and I place upon you a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. I know you and I Am intimate with you.  As your loving, gentle, and kind Father I know how to bring you out and put you on a high place.  I know how to make your feet stay firm as you climb upon the stony, rocky mountains of life.  I know how to cause you to be girded up, strengthened and mounted up with wings as eagles and soar to unknown places.  Here I take your tears and I place them in a bottle, for know that weeping may endure for a night but your joy will come in the morning.  It is morning time for you now, so arise in fresh new strength and victory, for I have spoken over you, and I sing songs of deliverance right over you.  I laugh the enemy to scorn right here in the secret place and I speak to you powerful words and your head become lifted up because I know you, and I know you will not quit.  I brought you this way that you might be strong and full of courage and not weak, and learn not to allow every circumstance and situation to weaken your heart.  I brought you this way because I knew what it would take to make you the mature child of God that I created you to be.  I brought you this way that you might be rooted and planted in My house.  I know the storms of life come, heat will not cause you to wither, circumstances would not cause you to bend or break.  I brought you this way to establish your roots way down deep.  I made you and I Am making you even now.  I will not stop for I Am forming a great and mighty person.  I knew you before you were formed and I have been forming you ever since.  For I know the beauty, the beauty that I have placed on the inside of you and I see the gold that is deep within.  So I Am mining, I Am mining in the deep recesses of your heart.  I Am mining in the deep places, the hidden places that man may not see or draw from.  I Am pulling out everything that would choke the fruit that must come forth. See I never quit, not for a moment, fashioning and forming you into the very image of your Father.  I see and I know exactly what I have to accomplish.  I Am doing the mighty things that I promised I would do to bring you to the place that you stand on a high place, the pinnacles of life that men may know that My hand has been upon you and I anointed you. My hands were upon you and I know you think that everything has been a hard way, but the hard way has brought you to the place that you have endurance and that you are patient.  I made you strong, I have made you an enduring war-faring soldier. My favor surrounds you as a shield.  My favor will cause you to be exalted as you deal in all of life affairs. Step into all that is yours because you have become inaccessible to all the ways of the enemy, as you stay in the secret place.
 
     "The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet.  And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility]." (Hab. 3:19)
     "You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping.  You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost.  For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance." (Ps. 56:8)
     "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." (Is. 61:3)
