Psalms 126:1-6
When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy! Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert. Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.
Freedom is the result of the cross!
- Why Do We Go Into Captivity, Rather Than Walking In Freedom?
I believe we go into captivity or exile in three different ways.
Satan
Self
God
- What to do “in” Captivity!
We must realize that God must start the process
Restore- To cause to return, a movement back to the point of departure
We must respond with tears, brokenness, and repentance
We must return to our first love!
III. The Results Of Freedom From Captivity!
A sense of dreaming
A mouth filled with laughter
Joyful shouting and gladness
Repentance, brokenness, and weeping will lead to JOY!
