One of my favorite moments in today's festivities occurred when a guest in his speech sought interaction from the children and said- you all are orphans right? And they ALL shouted back a resounding NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So here are some highlights from our land dedication:
Freedom and Worship
Claiming the Land
We walked all around and through the contested part of our land singing and praising God for HIS victory!
Planting of the Fruit Trees
We planted 7 fruit bearing trees on our land... prophetic of a generation of completion who will have their roots planted in heaven and bear fruit on the earth. With each tree, we read a Scripture promise.
Isa 61:1-4The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God,to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning,and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.They will be called oaks of righteousness,a planting of the LORDfor the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated;they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
