The Spirit Of The Lord is Upon Me!
Luke 4:16-19
16 And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was,
he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias.
And when he had opened the book,
he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
The Lord Jesus started His earthly ministry
upon entering this synagogue in Nazareth
where he read this scripture in Isaiah 61:1,2
Isaiah means - Salvation is of the Lord
John 1:10-12
10 He was in the world,
and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:
Dear Lord Jesus,
help me to see
that the climax of Your mission on earth
was Your Pentecost experience
the establishing of Your church
and the arrival of the Holy Spirit.
You came, not just to offer mankind
a "heavenly insurance policy,"
but also to equip those who would believe
for Kingdom-living here and now,
so that Your words might continue
to be spread abroad.
You came, not for just one generation,
but for all generations to come.
You promised to baptize us with Your Holy Spirit,
to provide the spiritual gifts,
the boldness, the courage, and the power
to enable Your disciples, then and now,
to keep Your message alive.
You promised all of that if I would but ask,
and I'm asking You now, Lord.
Use me, and empower me to be Your witness,
so that all I say and do will glorify You!
In Your holy name I pray.
Amen.
Who Has Believed?
midi
(Verse 1)
Who has believed
All that we have heard,
Of the blessed news that now we bring?
To whom is revealed
The coming of Messiah,
Coming of our Lord and King?
For He has borne our grief,
And known our sin and pain,
Was bruised for all our iniquity,
By His sacrifice, set the captive free,
That we may live again!
(Verse 2)
He was despised,
Rejected by His own,
Who, like sheep, had all been led astray.
He was oppressed,
Yet He opened not His mouth
As in judgement He was led away.
And He who knew no sin
Received our guilt and pain;
In sacrifice, His life laid down,
That in righteousness would our souls be found,
That we may live again!
(Verse 3)
Who has believed
All that we have heard,
Of the blessed news that now we sing?
Praise to the Lord,
Redeemer and Messiah,
Everliving Lord and King!
His soul is satisfied
By the fruit of His travail.
His righteous kingdom has no end;
He is our Master, Lord, and Friend;
His Word will never fail!
(Repeat First Chorus)
Yes, He has borne our grief,
And known our sin and pain,
Was bruised for all our iniquity,
By His sacrifice, set the captive free,
That we may live again!
That we may live again!
