What is God Doing in the Earth Today?
“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; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” (Luke 4:18-19, NKJV).
If you want to know what God is doing in the earth today, you need look no further than this passage from the book of Luke. As Jesus began His earthly ministry, He stood in the synagogue in His hometown of Nazareth and read this passage from Isaiah. Then He said, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
The anointing is God’s power in manifestation. Jesus, the anointed One, proclaimed His purpose—to proclaim Good News, to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, revcovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
The acceptable year of the Lord is a reference to the year of Jubilee, in which all debts were forgiven and everyone was set free of their bondages. That forgiveness is now ours through Jesus’ death on the cross. He paid the total price to set us free. Today IS the acceptable year of the Lord!
Nothing has changed! This message is still being proclaimed and is effectual for every need. Jesus is still doing the same work today! And the anointing to accomplish that work is still here. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV).
The word “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name. It is His title and the description of His ministry. It means “anointed one.” He was anointed of God to preach, to heal, to deliver, and to proclaim forgiveness. Now, His Church, the body of Christ (anointed) is to carry on that same ministry.
Do you believe it? Could it be? Can we carry that same anointing to a broken world today?
If you believe the Bible, you know it’s true. Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12, NKJV).
You see, we are anointed to do the same things that Jesus did. We are called to set the captives free. The anointing has not left the earth! Only now, it has been multiplied! The Holy Spirit has been poured out, God has anointed His body to preach, heal, deliver, and proclaim forgiveness.
Satan is doing all he can to convince us that we have no power, throwing obstacles in our way and whispering lies into our ears. We must determine to stay rooted in the word of God. We must ask the Lord to open our eyes to see ourselves and our ministries the way that He sees us. We must ask Him to strengthen us inwardly and fill us with His love so that we can move in His anointing in the earth today.
What is God doing in the earth today? He is doing the same things that He did when Jesus walked to the earth—blessing people, healing people, delivering people, forgiving people. Let’s move with Him in this hour and expect the mighty power of God to be manifested in our lives and ministries.
