This is Namma for Christ with the forty-eighth inspirational message dated Wednesday, March 12th, 2014. The title of this message is, "He Turned It - Isaiah 61:3". This message is based on the below scripture text in Isaiah 61:3 as found in the Old Testament (KJV):
Isaiah 61:3
3 To
appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the
oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be
glorified.
Today's scripture refers to what Isaiah, the prophet, said would happen to those that believe in God and those "that mourn": he said they would receive "BEAUTY FOR ASHES". He also said they would receive "the oil of JOY" for "mourning" and "the garment of PRAISE" for the spirit of "heaviness". Finally, the "RESULTS" of GOD TURNING AROUND THE BELIEVERS' SITUATIONS would BE: THEY WOULD BE CALLED: "TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS - THE PLANTING OF THE LORD" so that "GOD MIGHT BE GLORIFIED!"
I want to encourage you! God can do all things, but fail...
GOD CAN TURN YOUR NEGATIVE SITUATIONS AROUND INTO POSITIVE SITUATIONS FOR "HIS GLORY"!
GOD can give you "BEAUTY" for "ASHES"....
Genesis 18: 14 declares :

14 Is
any thing too hard for the Lord?
NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE LORD! Whatever situation, problem or challenge you are experiencing GOD CAN TURN IT! GOD CAN CHANGE YOUR SITUATION AND ALLOW "YOU" TO BE AN "OVERCOMER" AND FOR "GOD" TO "GET THE GLORY!"
GOD HAS "NOT" GIVEN UP ON YOU! HE HAS GREAT PLANS FOR YOU! THE VERY FACT THAT YOU ARE ALIVE IS EVIDENT THAT GOD STILL "WANTS TO USE YOU FOR 'HIS' GLORY AND HONOR!" Please remember Jeremiah 29: 11 -
YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO "LIVE" FOR THE "LORD"!
Don't dwell in despair. BELIEVE ME. I once was there...Six years ago, I found myself in a dark, sad place. I was suffering depression...even as a Christian. I blamed myself for so many problems in my life...I was wallowing in despair, sadness and "trying to figure out WHY my life had went a different direction than I thought it should have..." THEN...GOD WOKE ME UP....I PRAYED TO THE LORD....ONLY GOD got me out of that depressed, sad state....GOD allowed me to surrender EVERYTHING TO HIM...MY LIFE, MY PROBLEMS, MY WILL, MY SADNESS, MY FAMILY, MY BITTERNESS, MY SINS, MY FEARS, MY GUILT, MY MISTAKES, MY CONFUSION, MY "QUESTIONS" OF "WHY"....I SURRENDERED "MYSELF"....ALL OF ME...I GAVE MYSELF TO JESUS FOR "HIS WILL" TO BE DONE IN MY LIFE!....ALL TO JESUS....I SURRENDERED...ALL TO "HIM" I HAD TO FREELY GIVE....AND THEN I WAS FREE! I STARTED FEELING BETTER...I STARTED FEELING BETTER AND BETTER... EACH DAY...LIKE A BURDEN WAS LIFTED...JESUS made me FREE as John 8:36 says:
King James
Version (KJV)
I WAS "FREE" TO DO HIS "WILL" and NOT my own. God blessed me to be used for HIS GLORY...He turned my ashes into "BEAUTY"- He allowed me to "turn" my discouragement into ENCOURAGEMENT for others!
I experienced LOVE, MERCY, GRACE and FORGIVENESS from my Heavenly Father. I realized I didn't have to continue to "beat myself up" or have low self-esteem...I realized that I was STILL HIS CHILD....GOD "STILL LOVES US"...even if we make mistakes...HE just asks that we humbly come to HIM, confess EVERYTHING to HIM and pray daily - always thanking and praising HIM.
I THANK AND PRAISE JESUS FOR MY LIFE! EVERYDAY, I ASK THAT I MAY DO "HIS WILL" WITH MY LIFE...I AM FREE AND I HAVE JOY.
I had to get the focus off myself...I had experienced "wrong" thinking...I was wasting "too" much time trying to "figure things out"....whereas GOD was letting me know ALL THE TIME - THAT "HE IS" AND WILL "ALWAYS" BE IN CONTROL. God led me to HIS WORD to comfort me ... I read Isaiah 55: 8-9 to remind me THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL:

Version (KJV)

8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the
Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
I PRAY THESE WORDS MAY BE A COMFORT AND AN INSPIRATION TO YOU, AS WELL.
LET GOD TURN YOUR "ASHES" TO "BEAUTY"!

BE BLESSED!
