Exaltation


"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor."

"He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom to captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."

"They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
"
Isaiah 61: 1-3
This is the mandate for all of God's sons and daughters who walk in His humility.
