The Divine Exchange!
The DIVINE EXCHANGE! God wants to “Bestow on you a crown of Beauty INSTEAD of ashes, the oil of Gladness INSTEAD of Mourning, and a garment of Praise INSTEAD of a spirit of Heaviness!" Isa 61v3. Notice 3 times the words “INSTEAD of" —This is God’s DIVINE EXCHANGE. Have you had a Setback? a Disappointment? an Unfulfilled Hope? a Depression?
David did — his newborn child died! What did David do? He washed his face and worshipped God. David wiped away the regret and depression and Praised his Lord! David changed his apparel and put on the Garments of Praise! 2 Sam 12v20. David moved from Disappointment's dark valley to Praising his Shepherd!
This is the ministry of the Holy Spirit TODAY — to accomplish this miracle change, to set you free from a negative attitude of gloom and bring you into a powerful life of Praise! Only the Holy Spirit can flip the switch and perform a DIVINE EXCHANGE. You can get rid of the ashes and wear your Crown of Beauty, Experience the oil of Joy and Gladness instead of mourning, put on the garments of Praise and remove the spirit of Heaviness! This is a joyful day of DIVINE EXCHANGE. Get into the Lord’s presence and begin to Praise the Lord!
