made a minister according to the
dispensation of God which is given to me
for you to fulfill the word of God even
the mystery of which hath been hid from
ages and from Generations but now is
made manifest to his Saints to whom God
would make known what is the riches of
the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles which is what Christ in you the
hope of glory praise God
all right now
we’re we’re stepping into something now
we’ve as a matter of fact we’ve stepped
into it
and this is the the time
of the Vengeance of the lord it’s the
time
what we call the latter rain
the latter rain
and so if you go with me to Isaiah 61
please
I’m going to read and this is what Jesus
read in the synagogue as he got up to
read
he said the spirit of the Lord God is
upon me because he the Lord has anointed
me to preach Good Tidings to the me
uh and he has sent me to heal upon me
the bind of the Brokenhearted and to
Proclaim Liberty to the captures and the
opening of the prison to them that
abound
and to proclaim the acceptable year of
the Lord the day of Vengeance of our God
to comfort
all that mourn to appoint unto them that
morning Zion to give unto them Beauty
for Ashes oil of joy for mourning and
the Garment of Praise for the spirit of
heaviness
that they may be called Trees of
Righteousness the planting of the Lord
that he might be glorified wow lot there
is a lot in that folks
all right the first part of that as you
know Jesus got up to preaching the
synagogue he said spiritual Lord as God
is upon me in Luke chapter 4 and verse
16 Verse 18 pardon me Spirit of the Lord
God is upon me because he the anointed
me to preach at the gospel to the poor
so forth well Jesus was reading
from
Isaiah 61. and then he got to verse 2 go
to verse no no no no go back to Isaiah
61 verse 2. and if you look at Isaiah 61
verse 2 he says to proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord
and then Jesus stopped
then it says and the day of Vengeance of
our God to comfort all that mourn all
right
let’s look at first
this word Vengeance which has nothing to
do
with Revenge which is some people think
but
it basically is
the
um
it is God’s
punishing offenders
uh
and it proceeds from a love
of Justice
and it’s not some emotional retaliation
or anything like that it’s the justice
system of God
I want you to get that because God is
not he it’s not Revenge with him Revenge
is a low-life principle
it is not high life
High Life the Bible says pray for those
who despitefully use you and say all men
are things against you falsely it says
pray for them
and that’s what we’re supposed to do
we’re supposed to pray for them are you
with me here no you many times because
God’s people haven’t known Vengeance we
have been victims
all right I want to show you how how
Vengeance looks because Vengeance goes
together with recompense over in Hebrews
Hebrews chapter
10 and verse 30. he says
for we know him that had said Vengeance
belongeth to me and I will recompense
saith the Lord and again the Lord shall
judge his people
all right
and over in uh
Isaiah chapter I think it’s 30 32 oh oh
in Isaiah chapter 30 32 and verse 34 and
verse 8. he said for it is the day of
the Lord’s Vengeance and the year of
recompenses for the controversy of Zion
now that’s a prophetic word speaking
about the church now just stay with me
now because it’s going to make sense in
just a minute
so the point that I want you to see is
that when now Vengeance comes in
vengeance
that part Jesus didn’t read
because that part didn’t apply to
Jesus’s Ministry
it stopped at to proclaim the acceptable
year of the Lord and he closed the book
and sat down
now
then this
season which
Joel talked about
he talked about in Joel chapter 2 and
verse 20
um
three be glad the new children of Zion
Rejoice to the Lord your God who have
given you the former Reign moderately
and he’ll call to come down for you the
rain the former rain and the latter rain
in the first month so he’s saying no
about rain what is the rain symbolizing
it’s symbolizing the anointing that
you’re shifting into another aspect of
the anointing that this first Reign was
for the Gathering end of the church
which you saw in the book of Acts the
next is for the beautifying of the
Church of Latter rain
this is for those who mourn are going to
be rejoicing
this of those who were being harassed
and so forth you’re going to be made
comfortable
see this is the anointing that is now
come on the church
now this this is powerful because
um this this anointing uh has with it a
protection aspect let me just make sure
I follow my notes here if you go out
down uh to John chapter 14 please
and look at John chapter 14 and verse
13.
and whatsoever you shall ask in my name
I’ll get I’ll do
that the father may be glorified in the
son
if you shall ask anything in my name I
will do it
if you love me keep my Commandments
and I will pay pray the father and he
shall send you a another what comforter
that he may what abide with you how long
how long forever
all right
now
this
anointing
that God is now releasing on the church
remember what he said in verse 28 of
Joel chapter 2 I’m going to pour out my
spirit upon how much All Flesh okay so
he’s going to pour out upon All Flesh
now
