THE BODY OF CHRIST EMPOWERED 11-1-2020

When the Father sees the church He sees Christ. We are empowered, legally and spiritually to do everything Jesus did on earth just as it is in heaven. We are authorized, licensed, mandated, approved, credited, and sanctioned by the anointing. We have the greenlight, liberty, freedom, seal of approval, the go ahead, the commissioning, the permission to bring heaven to earth. Our credentials are that we come from the Father. It is not your gift God is empowering, it is you. Your identification in Christ

We could describe the ministry of Jesus to redeem all of creation into its original state a beauty. To be empowered for the rest of their lives. Empowered equals commission. Its to do business in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Luke 4:16  So He came to Nazareth, [that Nazareth] where He had been brought up, and He entered the synagogue, as was His custom on the Sabbath day. And He stood up to read.

17 And there was handed to Him [the roll of] the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened (unrolled) the book and found the place where it was written,  

18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],

19 To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.] 

20 Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing [attentively] at Him.

21 And He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture has been fulfilled while you are present and hearing.

22 And all spoke well of Him and marveled at the words of grace that came forth from His mouth; and they said, Is not this Joseph's Son?  AMP

LU 4:16-22 When he came to Nazareth, where he had been raised, he went into the synagogue, as he always did on the Sabbath day. When Jesus came to the front to read the Scriptures, they handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and read where it is written,

1819 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hopefor the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyesfor the blind, and to preach to prisoners,You are set free! I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of Gods great acceptancehas begun.

20 After he read this he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the minister, and sat down. Everyone stared at Jesus, wondering what he was about to say.

21 Then he added, These Scriptures came true today in front of you.

22 Everyone was impressed by how well Jesus spoke, in awe of the beautiful words of grace that came from his lips. But they were surprised at his presumption to speak as a prophet, so they said among themselves, Who does he think he is? This is Josephs son, who grew up here in Nazareth.

Isa 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,  

2 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,

3 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.

4 And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. AMP

ISA 61:1-4 he mighty Spirit of Lord Yahwehis wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, You are free,  and to tell prisoners, Be free from your darkness.
I am sent to announce a new seasonof Yahwehs grace and a time of Gods recompense on his enemies  to comfort all who are in sorrow,
to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zionto give them a beautiful bouquetin the place of ashes, the oil of blissinstead of tears,  and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaksof Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory.
They will restore ruins from long ago and rebuild what was long devastated. They will renew ruined cities and desolations of past generations. TPT

ROM 4:18-21 Against all odds, when it looked hopeless, Abraham believed the promise and expected God to fulfill it. He took God at his word, and as a result he became the father of many nations. Gods declaration over him came to pass: Your descendants will be so many that they will be impossible to count!

19 In spite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, his faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarahwere incapable of conceiving a child.

2021 He never stopped believing Gods promise, for he was made strong in his faithto father a child. And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God! TPT

Rom 4:18-20  When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn't do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, "You're going to have a big family, Abraham!"

19 Abraham didn't focus on his own impotence and say, "It's hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child." Nor did he survey Sarah's decades of infertility and give up.

20 He didn't tiptoe around God's promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God,   MSG
