BEAUTY FOR ASHES Isa. 61:3  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

Isaiah 61:3 KJV says “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” This verse is a promise of God’s restoration and transformation. It is a promise that God can transform our captivity into conquering, from sighing to singing and from groaning to glory.

God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful. He can take our ashes and turn them into something new. He can take our mourning and turn it into joy. He can take our heaviness and turn it into praise. He can take our captivity and turn it into conquering.

God is in the business of transformation. He wants to transform us from the inside out. He wants to make us new creations in Christ Jesus. He wants to give us beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness.

So if you are feeling broken today, remember that God can transform your brokenness into something beautiful. If you are mourning today, remember that God can turn your mourning into joy. If you are feeling heavy today, remember that God can turn your heaviness into praise. And if you are feeling captive today, remember that God can turn your captivity into conquering.

Let us pray: Dear Lord, thank You for Your promise of restoration and transformation. Help us to trust You with our brokenness, mourning, heaviness, and captivity. Help us to believe that You can transform our lives from the inside out. Help us to be trees of righteousness, planted by You for Your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Fly His Banner Ps. 20:5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Fly His Banner Ps. 20:5  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

 
Psalm 20:5 KJV  says "We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions."

There are many stories of soldiers grabbing banners and turning the tide of battle. One such story is from the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. On July 2, 1863, Union General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered his men to take a Confederate position on Cemetery Ridge. As they advanced, a Union soldier named Sergeant William H. Carney grabbed the American flag and ran forward, despite being shot several times. He planted the flag on the Confederate position and held it there until reinforcements arrived.

Setting up banners in the name of God means to honor God and celebrate His faithfulness. In the past, banners were used as military equipment to assemble, direct, distinguish, and encourage troops. They might have been used for other purposes as well.

In the context of Psalm 20:5 KJV, setting up banners means to wage war in God's name and make His glory our end in every expedition. We should ask counsel at His mouth and take Him along with us. We should follow His conduct, implore His aid, depend upon it, and refer the issue to Him.

Spiritual warfare is a biblical concept involving the struggle against evil forces. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare in many places, but most directly in Ephesians 6:12, where Paul speaks of putting on the full armor of God: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Here are three truths about spiritual warfare:

1. Spiritual warfare is real. The Bible tells us that we are in a spiritual battle against evil forces. We must be prepared for this battle by putting on the full armor of God.

2. Spiritual warfare is not just about us. It is also about God's glory. We should make His glory our end in every expedition and follow His conduct, implore His aid, depend upon it, and refer the issue to Him.

3. Spiritual warfare is not just about fighting against evil forces but also about living a life that honors God. We should live a life that is pleasing to God and that reflects His love and grace to others.
