Isa 61:1 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,

You will notice there is a comma at the end. This is because the statement goes further than what I have placed above. If you prefer, take out the Book of all Books and read the rest of what it has to say. I want to point out to you that this verse is speaking to us. Once we have given our hearts to Christ, it is our job to spread His love around as much as we possibly can, in order to pull others out of the darkness and into the light. There is a spirtual warfare going on in our world today that cannot be denied. The father of lies is holding so many in chains as he whispers his lies into their ears. Whether it is that they are not worthy of the love of another or they need to be perfect in order for God to accept them. It is up to us as brothers and sisters in Christ to encourage one another. When you hear someone make a negative statement about themselves, take the time to counter it with the Truth for them. Most people are not reading the Word so, they need a spokesperson to step in and tell them about how much God loves and accepts them exactly the way that they are. Read your Bible daily and spend time with our Father so that His promises will be fresh in your mind and heart. In doing this, you will be able to have the pefect verse come to mind to help you encourage them.
