Isaiah 61

1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;    2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;  3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. 7For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.  8For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery or burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen. Lord, Jesus, as I enter this ministry, I bring your presence with me. I speak your peace, your grace and your perfect order into the atmosphere of this ministry. I acknowledge your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, decided and accomplished within this ministry.  Lord Jesus, I thank you for the gifts you have deposited in me. I do not take them lightly, but commit to using them responsibly and well. Give me a fresh supply of truth and beauty on which to draw as I do your work. Anoint my creativity, my ideas, and my energy so that even my smallest task may bring You honor. Lord when I am confused, guide me, when I am weary, energize me. Lord, when I am burned out, infuse me with the light of your Holy Spirit. May the work that I do and the way that I do it, bring hope, life and courage to all that I come in contact with. And, Oh Lord, even in this day's most stressful moments, May I rest in You. In your strong and powerful name, I pray faithfully in the sweet name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 

I believe the Lord has a special place in His heart for those that have been abused, neglected, mistreated and rejected. He loves us all the same, but there is a little something extra He has given me and has shown me. So many times I failed Him, but He never failed me. So many times I tried to give up, but He wouldn’t let me.  The Lord spoke to me and told me I’m chosen, special and called by Him. I’m grateful God called me. No one can and will ever harm me again! Remember this... The Lord said touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm! With this scripture comes a spirit of boldness. I'm radical, I'm called, I'm anointed, I'm chosen, I'm filled with the Holy Ghost and I'm on my way to your city to tear down the strongholds of “abuse”. Watch out devil, I’m coming after you and I'm taking you prisoner!  You can best believe that!
