Oppression

Still Small Voice

Heavenly Alignment

our calibration begins with me. You feel out of sorts – anxious, worried, fearful, but that isn’t my desire for you. I want you free from all that restrains you. I want you free from oppression, birthed in the pit of rebellion and pride. You are my child, born again of the Spirit. You’re surrounded by a host of helpers, ready to carry out my word. I need your breath to agree in faith with my breath—with what I have planned long ago. You will be synced with me. Keep seeking to align with all my words and all my ways. We will be one. Never doubt that. You have been set apart for me and I will see to it that you are preserved for eternity. No one and nothing can snatch you from me. I cradle you in my arms, and I will never let go. I am faithful and true and trustworthy. The alignment has begun, and I will see it to completion.

The Lord of Armies has sworn: As I have purposed, so it will be; as I have planned it, so it will happen. I will break Assyria in my land; I will tread him down on my mountain. Then his yoke will be taken from them, and his burden will be removed from their shoulders. —Isaiah‬ ‭14‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭CSB‬‬

And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel. —Amos‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬ ‭JUB‬‬

For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him. —Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭29‬ ‭TPT‬‬

u calibración comienza conmigo. Te sientes de mal humor: ansioso, preocupado, temeroso, pero ese no es mi deseo para ti. Te quiero libre de todo lo que te restringe. Te quiero libre de opresión, nacido en el pozo de la rebelión y el orgullo. Eres mi hijo, nacido de nuevo del Espíritu. Estás rodeado de una multitud de ayudantes, listos para cumplir mi palabra. Necesito que tu aliento esté de acuerdo en fe con mi aliento, con lo que he planeado hace mucho tiempo. Estarás sincronizado conmigo. Sigue buscando alinearte con todas mis palabras y todos mis caminos. Seremos uno. Nunca dudes de eso. Has sido apartado para mí y me encargaré de que seas preservado para la eternidad. Nada ni nadie podrá arrebatarte de mí. Te acuno en mis brazos y nunca te soltaré. Soy fiel, verdadero y digno de confianza. La alineación ha comenzado y la completaré.

El Señor de los ejércitos ha jurado: Como me he propuesto, así será; como lo he planeado, así sucederá. Derribaré a Asiria en mi tierra; Lo pisotearé en mi monte. Entonces su yugo será quitado de ellos, y su carga será quitada de sus hombros. —Isaías 14:24-25 NVI

Y el Señor me dijo: Amós, ¿qué ves? Y dije: Una plomada. Entonces dijo el Señor: He aquí yo pongo una plomada en medio de mi pueblo Israel…—Amós 7:8 JUB

Porque a los que antes conoció, también los predestinó a ser hechos conformes a la imagen de su Hijo, para que él fuera el primogénito entre muchos hermanos. —Romanos 8:29 LBLA

Devotional

Son-rising

We are overwhelmingly aware of all sorts of things. Today’s technological advances have aided the delivery of despairing news from all around the world—tragedies, threats of war, and terrorism that attempt to consume us. It camps in our mind, affects our behaviors and influences our words. The darkness that surrounds us is thick. The darkness within, even thicker. It often feels like nothing can penetrate this oppression.

Yet, there is hope.

Matthew 2:1-2 says that at the time of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the east saw Jesus’ star rising in the sky. There was a star rising but it wasn’t an earthly star. It was the bright and morning star.

The Son was rising.

These wise men were following ‘His’ star in the night sky. They were used to that. God spoke to them in a way they understood. These spiritual priests or advisors were also known as magi, experts in astronomy, astrology, and natural science. But on that grand day when Jesus was born, God led them to the most glorious Light the earth has ever known. And it wasn’t the star in the sky. They were led to Jesus Himself, the hope for a world caught in the throes of darkness.

Jesus is …

The star that ushers hope into our broken and desperate souls.

The star that reveals the authority of truth amidst the tyranny of confusion.

The star that heals with His presence as torment releases its grip.

The magi witnessed for themselves that the true Light of the world had come. The sun, the moon and the stars paled in comparison to the Light that dispels spiritual darkness. By nature, Jesus’ life brings hope, healing, and the revelation of truth.

When His Light comes, darkness must flee.

Darkness is hard at work being what it is. Darkness doesn’t understand how to be light. All it knows, lives and breathes is darkness—an oppressive darkness that keeps us blind and chained. But, take heart. Even if there is devastation and destruction all around you, the Son is rising with healing in His wings.

The Son is rising in the hearts of many seekers.

If you’ve been looking to the lesser lights of this world for counsel and comfort and still feel darkness nipping at your heels, all you have to do is allow the true Light to enter your heart. His Light will shine in you and through you.

The Hebrew name for Jesus is Yeshua, which means, “the Lord is salvation.”

Reach out for Him in faith, even in the midst of darkness.

Your rescuer is near.
