To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified - Isaiah 61:3.
The Spirit of heaviness is a demonic Spirit which can be driven away by the garment of praise. There is a great power in praises. Let us offer a sacrifice of praise to God continually and drive away the spirit of heaviness. I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall be continually in my mouth - Psalm 34:1.The high praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand - Psalm 149:6. God's Word refreshes our soul. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul - Psalm 19:7.
The word of God sets us free from all bondages. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free - John 8:32. Let us take control of our thoughts and always ensure that they line up with the Word of God. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ - 2 Corinthians 10:4,5.
There is liberty from the spirit of heaviness when we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty - 2 Corinthians 3:17. Let us call on the name of the Lord to be delivered from the Spirit of heaviness. It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered. Joel 2:32. In your presence there is fullness of joy - Psalm 16:11. May God deliver us from the Spirit of heaviness and let us experience the glorious freedom that God has for us.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for
delivering us from the spirit of heaviness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
