The Power of Prophecy

Isaiah 42:1-7

42 Behold my [a]Servant, Whom I uphold, My elect in Whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice and right and reveal truth to the nations. 2 He will not cry or shout aloud or cause His voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not quench; He will bring forth justice in truth. 4 He will not fail or become weak or be crushed and discouraged till He has established justice in the earth; and the islands and coastal regions shall wait hopefully for Him and expect His direction and law. 5 Thus says God the Lord—He Who created the heavens and stretched them forth, He Who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, He Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it: 6 I the Lord have called You [the Messiah] for a righteous purpose and in righteousness; I will take You by the hand and will keep You; I will give You for a covenant to the people [Israel], for a light to the nations [Gentiles], 7 To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness from the prison.

God is bringing me into a new season of ministry.  In fact, He is preparing me to be used in a way I've never been used before.  I was caught up in worship at a women's retreat where I was ministering, when I saw a vision:

Soul Prosperity

The scripture says to "present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God for this is our spiritual act of worship".  Rom. 12:1

One of the best ways to honor God as a "living sacrifice" is to pursue inner healing so that we can serve God from a place of inner strength and power.  Inner healing is a pre-requisite for effective ministry.  Allow God, by His Holy Spirit, to apply the balm of Galead to your life - to bind up your broken heart.  He desires truth in your inward parts and you know that full well.  He will bring you out into a place of abundance - to the abundant life He intended for you to live.  This is what soul prosperity is all about. 

"Beloved, I pray that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." 3 John 2
