Title: Worship of Joy and Restoration
Bible: Isaiah 61:1-3
2007. 9. 16. Daytime
Worship has the joy and thrill of salvation and the history of healing and restoration. You can experience this through worship and live a new life.
Therefore, dear saints!
I pray that today's worship will be the moment of greatest joy in your life, the moment of healing and recovery, and the time of creation starting with new hope.
1. Prophecy of the Messiah
Today's text prophesies the restoration work that will be accomplished through the coming of the Messiah through the prophet Isaiah in 700 B.C. Of course, these words were completely fulfilled by the coming of Jesus.
1) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me
These words speak of the full presence of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus Christ. When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, the Holy Spirit fell like a dove.
“As soon as Jesus had been baptized, he came up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him.”
We believe that the Holy Spirit will come down when we come before God. I pray that the Holy Spirit will fill your hearts in today's worship service.
2) Pour oil
The anointing refers to the authentication of God with the presence of the Holy Spirit. When we receive the anointing, the power of God is revealed.
“A voice came from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Hallelujah From this moment on, Jesus begins his public life. Throughout his life, by the power of the Holy Spirit, he works wonders and works of creation.
After David was anointed by the prophet Samuel, the power to defeat Goliath was revealed. The disciples who had lost Jesus were helpless and in despair. Then they gathered and worshiped God and prayed. The Holy Spirit came on them and they received power. They became witnesses of Jesus in Samaria and to the ends of the earth.
We believe that God's anointing is manifested in our worship today. Now, I pray that the power will appear in your life and fully reveal the glory of God.
2. Histories of Restoration and Joy
1) Delivering good news to the poor
The preaching of the gospel of the kingdom is what Jesus, the Messiah, came and did. This gospel of the kingdom is the most beautiful news in this world. But no one gets it. Who gets it? It is the poor in heart.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Who is the poor? It refers to a person who is marginalized, despised, and has nothing on this earth. Not to mention material things, they have no power, no education, and no talent. Jesus was good news for such people. Because He saves them and makes them treated as human beings.
So, wherever Jesus went, there were always the poor, poor orphans and widows, and hordes of marginalized and disrespectful sinners. For them, Jesus is their savior.
Dear saints, Do any of you consider yourself poor? I hope you will be restored through worship today.
2) Healing the brokenhearted.-
The reason they are hurt is because they are teased for being poor. Because people ignore them. being bullied being treated like an idiot.
always lived with a wound in his heart. From a young age, I was teased for being short and being teased for being a poor child. But after he met Jesus, his life changed. All the wounds in my heart were healed. Dear saints, True worship is meeting Jesus and healing your wounds. I pray that this worship service today will heal your broken hearts.
3) He restores freedom to the captives.
Jesus gives true freedom and liberty to those who live their lives as prisoners of sin, slaves to material things, and slaves to demons.

The moment he was baptized, kneeling before God, raising his hands, and weeping was a symbol that puts human arrogant reason and intellect to shame at once.
Worship is about breaking free from all these bondages and restraints, gaining true freedom, and kneeling before God with that joy. It is a declaration of release to the prisoners.
The confession of the twelve priests after believing in Jesus - “Now I have found true freedom.” If you do not perform well, you will be punished. worry. It means that even Isa did not work properly and lived as a servant of a demon who could not hit a single nail. But when I came out of the church, I realized that it was good to be freed from such things.
4) To give a wreath of joy to the sad
“Give the mourners a wreath instead of ashes, oil of joy instead of sorrow, clothes of praise instead of sorrow, and the glory of God instead of sorrow.”
This is the joy that those who worship with the thrill of salvation will receive.
The testimony of a priest.
He made three resolutions of his heart.
First, let's worship thoroughly! - Don't miss out on public worship. So, I attended Sunday morning, afternoon, and all-night prayer meetings. And then he found joy. Life is not futile. I have come to realize that God is the most precious being.
Second, let's pay our tithes thoroughly--He never fails to give tithes of his income no matter how much money he has, no matter how hungry he is. Then he received material blessings.
Third, I read at least one chapter of the Bible a day.-- My faith deepened in the life of the Word.
You did these three things well. Then, how much God blessed him, there was no shortage of material, and he became a faithful worker in the church and became Master Kwon.
Worship reveals the healing work of God who saved me. If you are worshiping what God wants and desires today, please believe that God's work of healing has come.
* When my 12-year-old daughter was possessed by an evil demon, she came to Jesus and was healed.
* A woman with a hemorrhage who had been bleeding for 12 years also came to Jesus and was healed.
* For 38 years, the sick by the pond of Bethesda were also healed, and the paralytic was also healed.
Today, if you have an incurable disease that you desperately want from God, please worship God well. Then you will surely experience the power of healing.
3. Worship is a festival.
I hope that you will be liberated from the sins that have arisen through worship, salvation from punishment, and overflowing with hope amidst despair. So worship is a celebration. Worship is the dancing of joy by those who have been grieved.
Ex) Mrs. Whiwitt --Hymn 370 To me in the Lord.--I was in the hospital, and a cleaning lady came out singing a hymn, so I asked. I asked him what makes him so happy, and he said that he is going to die because he is coming to worship God. I want to die happy. Then he realized. like that! The cleaning lady is happy too, so why am I worried and worried? A hymn written after deep reflection, is there any other worries for me in the Lord?
Heungbu wrapped up the swallow's broken leg with care and healed it, and the swallow came with a gourd seed, and treasures poured out of the gourd. When Nolbu heard the news, he purposely broke the swallow's leg and sent it to fix it. The swallow also brought a gourd seed to Nolbu, and from that goblin and bandits came out. In this way, even the swallow, who seems to know nothing, accurately recognizes the person who will repay the favor.
There is a story of a Jindo dog that was sold to a place he had never been to before, and came to find his old owner, which was several dozen miles away. At most, I only got a lump of cold rice, but that was what I was so grateful for. Although it is a silent beast, it has never forgotten the grace of a single drink.
We have the grace of God who has given us eternal life. God loves us more and gives grace to us more than Heungbu who healed a swallow's leg or the owner of a Jindo dog who gave him a loaf of rice. If we believe it, how can we neglect God?
If he forgets the grace of God, he is less than a swallow and a dog. No it's a beast. Therefore, we must worship God in spirit and in truth.
To those who worshiped like this, please believe that God has healed us of joy, freedom, liberation, and all diseases, sorrows, and wounds in our hearts.
“Praise be my soul! Praise my soul! Praise all that is in me.”
Do you know what many people in the world said when they saw their souls restored to joy and healed through this worship service?
“They will acknowledge that they are the blessed offspring of the LORD.”
