Today this scripture

And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

What exactly does that mean to you? I have read this many times before but never noticed it. It comes after one of the most powerfull scriptures in the new testament.

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

I like to read it like this. My name is Kevin and the Spirit of the Lord is upon me Because He has anointed Kevin To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Kevin to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

It is my belief that this scripture speaks to all of us not just me. Not because it is what I believe but because it is what Jesus said "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." I say read this passage and put your name in place of mine, but not just to hear your name but believe it when you say it.

 

Here is what Jesus says later in Luke 10:19
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.NKJV

So you are anointed and you can trample

 

 

Psalm 94.19

Psalm 94.19  When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. NLT

Started reading in Psalm 91 …… always a good psalm to read…. One of my favorite. So I kept on reading and then I got to 94.19 and when I read it I hear "you never seek me for comfort, You don't get quiet anymore and just listen." "you pray and read and write" Some of my best times with the Lord come when I just close my mouth, close my bible and just listen. Just crawl up in His lap and just listen. It is so hard sometimes to just get quiet and it is so important. Maybe your next quiet time needs to be listening instead of reading and praying. Or better yet listening and then praying.

When I was upset and beside myself, You calmed me down and cheered me up. Msg

When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. NASB95

In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul! AMP

In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul. NKJV

Which version speaks to you?
