Luke 4

How can you learn from my experience to overcome fear? Explore different ways that you can break that silence in you in your political, social, or personal place.

Luke 4, 18 said, The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free.

Jesus' mission was to give a voice to the voiceless.

because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.

That's what Christ said in Luke 4, 18.

He is sending us today as his follower to do the same thing, to give a voice to the voiceless and to stand up against those who want to silence us.

In fact, there's no sickness or disease that Jesus couldn't heal when he was on the earth.

Luke 4, 40.

At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of illnesses and laying hands on each one, he healed them.

Now, some will bring an objection.

Isaiah 10, 1 to 3, a stern warning of divine judgment against those who enact unjust laws and exploit the vulnerable.

And Luke 4, 18 and 19, Jesus declares he is anointed to proclaim release to the captives and set the oppressed free.

Oppression, we all feel it.

So what do we do about it? For myself, there was one thing I do that instantly removes the oppression.

Again, so this illusion would produce the greatest ideas of freedom that the people could think of on the hearing of Isaiah 61 and also in Luke chapter four.

What's interesting here too, right? When you compare Isaiah 61, what Jesus said in Luke chapter four, what's prophesied here in verse two is, was fulfilled in Luke 4, how? By the arrival of God's favor being announced through Jesus Christ, right? Jesus stands up and he says, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and he's announcing to everyone in synagogue that day, the source of renewal is here.

The anointed one has come.

Grace has arrived on earth.

Remember, Revelation 17, 17 says, for God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will and to agree and to give their kingdom unto the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

And then in Luke 4, if you remember when the devil is tempting Jesus, And in Luke 4, verse 5, it says, And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil said unto him, All this power, what power? Worldly power, the power of nations, the power of politics, the powers of kings and kingdoms.

All this power will I give thee and the glory of them, for that is delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

And it doesn't have to be a half hour of reading the Bible to hear God speak.

So he started in Luke 4 because he didn't want to go through all the Christmas story.

He felt like he knew that.

And in Luke chapter 4, verse 1, it says, Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

In the New Testament, Matthew reiterates that verse and he applies it to the healing ministry of Jesus.

Luke 4, many of us will know it.

Jesus is in the synagogue and he goes, he reads from the book of Isaiah.

says the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.

Hallelujah.

In Luke chapter 15, when you read from verse 8 to 10, just write for reference.

The Bible talks to us about a very interesting parable that Jesus himself gave.

It's called the parable of the lost coin.

It makes all the difference.

The first way the believer accesses the illumination, the revelation, the light that sets you apart, elevates you, and causes you to advance, is through consistent study of scripture.

In Luke chapter 4 and verse 17, a powerful principle there.

The Bible says, Jesus came to the temple as his custom was.
