Prophetic Ministry and the Mission of Isaiah 61

As spoken before, major role in Prophetic Ministry is the mission described in Isaiah 61.

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all who mourn: To grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.

So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, they will raise up the former devastations; and they will repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations…”

This is Jesus’ doing through the Holy Spirit. He said, as recorded in Luke 4:21, “Today, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing”.

This was how Jesus defined His mission. And this becomes OUR mission the Church…..It is also the mission of this blog post.
