    and wait for the Lord.

Spirit pour out

”Let your spirit pour out and cover the earth

Pour your spirit over the dry places,

The dark places,

The empty and longing hearts,

The hungry and thirsty hearts…”

 

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,

To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified

//Jesus

Isaiah 61

 

”And it shall come to pass
that whoever calls on the name of the Lord
shall be saved.”
Acts 2:21

From ashes to beauty

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

 Jeremiah 29:11

”They shall neither hunger nor thirst,
Neither heat nor sun shall strike them;
For He who has mercy on them will lead them,
Even by the springs of water He will guide them.”

Isaiah 49:10

 

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

John 7:38

 

”Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43:19

Deep calls to deep

 

”Day in and day out

You lead me,
you breathe
you sustain me

Day in and day out

You love me
you hear me,
you see me

Day in, day out
You are the One who uphold me”

 

”For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.”

Psalms 139: 4-6
