What are we called to do?




If you have suffered pain, sorrow and trauma, you will not be able to stand and watch while others suffer.

It is so beautiful that Jesus spent His life comforting and healing the sick, the broken hearted and being a blessing to all those He met. He wants us to be His eyes, His hands, His feet and His arms around those who are suffering today.
Jesus fulfilled His mission and acted out what was prophesied about Him in Isaiah 61:1-4:
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn.
To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations."
Jesus said in John 14:12, "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father."
Let us ask the Lord to help us become instruments and vessels He can use to bring comfort, healing and blessings for people in this generation! 🙏🙏🙏
