Before we build and restore, we need to focus on what we are anointed for.

What are we anointed for?
Jesus walked fully in what He was anointed for.
Jesus was The Word and Love in the flesh.
When we walk in what we are anointed for, we become God’s word made flesh and God’s word always produces life.
God gives us tons of content in His word in the specifics of what we are anointed for.
Isaiah 61:1–4 NASB95
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; 2 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. 4 Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.
Isaiah 61:1–2 NKJV
1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,
Anointed For:
good news to the humble
“To bring good news to the afflicted,”
sense: to announce or convey a message of positive information about recent or important events.
synonyms: afflicted, poor, humble, meek.
Humble: knowing what you have came from God.
- Knowing you did not deserve it, but now you do because of Jesus.
Humility often come through some sort of humiliation.
Poor meaning you know you need more then you have.
God is rewarding humility again. He does all throughout Proverbs and the new testament.
Is God apposed to anyone?
1 Peter 5:5 NASB95
5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
You are anointed for conveying a positive message to the ones who know they need God.
bind brokenhearted
“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,”
The sense behind this verse is to bind up and encourage, or to inspire with confidence, give hope to or courage to.
If you bind something then it can heal.
You are anointed to encourage, inspire with confidence and give hope to the brokenhearted.
Activation:
Who feels they may be a brokenhearted one today?
proclaim liberty to the captive
“To proclaim liberty to captives”
Captive is someone who was put in captivity unjustly.
Proclaim liberty
Proclaim: to call out, to read aloud, to commission, to be summoned, to be named...
Liberty: Pure, flowing,
- from a root word meaning: to move rapidly
- To be named rabidly.
sense:
liberty = release
captive = confined like a prisoner of war or exile
Let’s apply this to our identity:
If you have been told you are not worthy by life of people, and you tend to believe that. You are captive to a lie.
Of you don’t know the lie you may wrestle with, when you are not acting like your true self,
“What is the story you are telling yourself?”
That story is the lie.
Eve and being told she could be more.
Shame says something is wrong with me. Guilt says I acted outside of who I am and I can adjust.
You are anointed to quickly call others by their true name and release those who are captive to shame or lies.
opening doors to prisoners
“And the opening of the prison to those who are bound”
People get into prison by doing something that the punishment is prison.
You steal, you go to prison.
You lie, you go to the prison of mistrust.
You cheat, you go to prison of mistrust.
Prison is often a natural or law enforced consequence of breaking the image we were made in or a law of the land.
It is possible to be captive for a while by others or thoughts and then you become a prisoner because you act on your own out of those beliefs.
You are anointed to show people the way back to bringing life.
This one has to be the person in prison choosing to exit the open doors. This one is where victims become overcomer.
The parodical son had to return home on his own.
Gideon had to go down to 300 and follow the instructions of God.
David had to strengthen himself in the Lord.
Moses had to speak to the king.
Peter had to choose to die upside down on the cross.
Steven had to say out loud not to hold this against those stoning him.
Paul had to go get prayed for to get his sight back.
The Prison doors are open, but you have to go through those door ways yourself.
You are anointed to show people the way out the way you left that prison yourself.
proclaim year of favor and a day of vengeance our God
“To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord And the day of vengeance of our God.”
Proclaim: to call out, to read aloud, to commission, to be summoned, to be named...
favorable year
Long season of favor of our Lord.
day of vengeance
A short season of painful adjustment.
You are anointed to call out loud a long season of favor and a short season of painful adjustment.
comfort those who mourn
“To comfort all who mourn.”
You are anointed to comfort those who have experienced loss.
Before we build and restore, we need to focus on what we are anointed for.

Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.
Closing:
When we walk in what we are anointed for, we become God’s word made flesh and God’s word always produces life.
When we walk in what we are anointed for the life of heaven flows through our lives.
Luke 6:20–23 NASB95
20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 “Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. 23 “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
