TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Provide for those who grieve…a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” Isaiah 61:3, (NIV)

MESSAGE: What type of attitude are you wearing today? What’s covering your mind and emotions? Are you clothed with despair and disappointment? Are you wearing “heaviness?”

If you’ve recently gone through a hurtful or disappointing situation, there is a season to grieve a loss. It’s important to go through that process and release the hurt to God.

But the Bible also says that God wants to give you a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness or despair. He wants to exchange your hurt for His healing. He wants to fill you with His peace and joy. 

Are the garments of yesterday holding you back and weighing you down? Maybe it’s time to exchange that heaviness for His garment of praise.

Maybe it’s time to release those heavy burdens. Maybe it’s time to forgive those who have hurt you and begin to praise your way to victory. When you wear a garment of praise, you’ll stand strong and display His splendor all the days of your life! 

PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, I come to You with an open and humble heart. I ask that You take my old garments of despair and heaviness. Make me new today. Give me a garment of praise and have Your way in my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS: Nehemiah knew the secret of how to have strength in the Lord, he said: “… Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV).

When you’re filled with the strength of the Lord, Holy Spirit will change negative to positive as He (God) did in Prophet Isaiah’s life.

The Spirit of the Lord GOD shall come upon your Life, the LORD will give you comfort. He will give a crown of beauty in place of ashes. Oil of joy will replace mourning and garment of praise shall replace spirit of despair.

I decree and declare that Holy Spirit shall abundantly decorate your life and make you to shine for the rest of your life in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
