Jesus initiates Divine displacement on our behalf!
By THE SPIRIT, Isaiah describes The Lord’s favor directed toward us in Isaiah chapter 61:
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to bring good news to the poor; HE has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of Our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion- to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
4 They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.
5 Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
6 but you shall be called the priests of the LORD; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast.
7 Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.
Jesus replaces hopelessness with Good News.
He replaces the wounds of the brokenhearted with healing.
He replaces captivity with freedom and liberty.
He replaces enslavement with open doors.
He replaces darkness with light.
He replaces mourning and ashes with a beautiful headdress and the oil of gladness.
He replaces a faint spirit with a garment of praise.
What is the result of these displacements? We are to be called oaks of righteousness, we are the planting of THE LORD. We are then to build up ancient ruins that resulted from the devastations of past generations.
What will happen as a result?
Foreigners will be appointed to shepherd our many flocks; strangers will cultivate your fields and tend your vines. In today’s vernacular, they will manage and serve our businesses.
We will be known as Priests of YAHWEH, and called Servants of Our God. We will feast on the wealth of nations and revel in their riches!
7 Because we received a double dose of shame and dishonor, we will inherit a double portion of endless joy and Everlasting bliss!
FATHER will respond,
“For I, YAHWEH, Love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of My faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them. Their seed will be famous among the nations, and their descendants the center of attention of the people. All who see them will recognize that they are the seed that YAHWEH has blessed with favor!”
The world is in tumultuous times, but we should be looking up for our redemption draws near! We should expect the fulfillment of Divine displacement in all areas of our lives.
How will Jesus respond?
10 I will sing and greatly rejoice in YAHWEH! My Whole Being vibrates with shouts of joy in My God! For HE has dressed Me with salvation and wrapped Me in the robe of HIS righteousness! I appear like a Bridegroom on His wedding day, decked out with a beautiful sash, or like a radiant bride adorned with sparkling jewels.
11 In the same way the earth produces its crops and seeds spring up in a garden, so will the Lord YAHWEH cause righteousness and praise to blossom before all the nations!
Divine displacement is at hand!
