Ever feel bottled up? Ever go to work and just not feel like doing anything, or being unable to concentrate?
Welcome to the club.
I've had those days too, and got another one like that today, so I thought maybe I'd blog about it.
Check out Luke 4:17-21, emphasis added:
---------------------------------
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."
20 "And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him."
21 "And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. "
It's so nice to be know that He came to preach deliverance to the captives, even nicer to know that He delivered many people, and continues to do so. Jesus may be the one that opens it up to us, but we need to be the one's that grab hold of it. I'll never forget the message that bro. harold hoffman taught me, "You need to proclaim liberty to the captives, even if you are one of the captives."
So here's a fellow captive telling you that Jesus can set you free. He's done it time and time again for me, and I know that I can receive it if I can just step away from this world and focus on the spirit for a bit. The world dilutes us, like bad fruit does to good fruit, and without the master, we're all just going to rot.
I'm glad I know the master. If you don't know Him, I'd be glad to introduce you.
