This is such a strong image that describes what ministry at Redeemer?s Way will be like; I can not believe I have not already put this out on the blog. Several months ago during praise and worship at Living Way, I saw a vision of Redeemer?s Way. The altar was packed with people wanting prayer. As they began to leave, there were piles of broken chains left behind. Then the words came to my mind, ?House of Broken Chains.?
Redeemer?s Way will be a place where people can be healed in their bodies, mind and spirit. Lives will be restored by the love of Christ. The ?Chains? of the struggles of life will break and fall off through the power of the Holy Spirit. Redeemer?s Way will be a ?House of Broken Chains?
Isaiah 61:1-3 (NIV)
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 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 for the display of his splendor. |
