I am not a closet Christian; “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, . . . This good news tells us how God makes us right in His sight (which) is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As it is written, ‘. . . but the righteous will live by their faith” Romans 1:16 & Habakkuk 2:4b (NIV; NLT).

This is a tremendous time of history because salvation has come through Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing; and all reconciled unto the Family of God by the finished work of Christ Jesus have been given the “ministry of authority” in the Name above all names. Those who have been made the righteousness of GOD by the blood of Jesus are for the glory of GOD. “That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified” Isaiah 61:3e (NKJV). It’s all about the plan of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty; His always good purpose; to stablish His covenant in the earth.

The gospel is the “good news” of the sent one – Jesus the Christ whose mission statement the Holy Spirit revealed to the Prophet Isaiah: “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, for He has anointed Me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, recovery of sight to the blind, and release of the oppressed; that the time of the LORD’s favor has come.” Isaiah 61:1-2 & Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV, NIV, NLT combined).

Now (this day) the supernatural producing favor of GOD is upon the righteous (all who are in Christ Jesus); “the favor of GOD surrounds the righteous every place we go and in everything we do”.1  Therefore, in Jesus’ name, we stand in the gap and make up the hedge to: “birth new citizens into the Kingdom of GOD, bring healing to the sick, cause finances to come to those in need, and compassion to the brokenhearted”.2  For these reasons we yield as vessels allowing the power of GOD to move effectively through us by the Holy Spirit; that those blinded by darkness may recover out of the snare of the devil and walk in the light of the WORD – in the knowledge of the Truth.
