The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me because the LORD has annointed Me to preach good news to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives and the opening of the prisons to those who are captive; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengance of our God; to comfort all those who mourn; to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness!

The Heavens declare the Glory & Story of God!

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. But I say, surely they have never heard, have they?" (Romans 10:17-18a).

We hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and by hearing comes faith. Then Paul writes surely they have never heard have they? And he answers his own question:

"Indeed they have; 'Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world' " (Romans 10:18b).

Paul quotes from Psalm 19 declaring that all have heard the Good News of Jesus Christ via the heavens. The Psalmist wrote:

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world" (Psalm 19:1-4).

The entire gospel (or good news) is laid out in the heavens via the stars which tell the greatest story ever. Night after night they pour forth speech. They declare the glory of God which is the Son. In the coming weeks I am going to pour through what the stars are shouting. It is absolutely amazing. And Paul's question, "Surely they have never heard (the gospel), have they? Indeed they have; 'Their voice has gone to all the earth, and their words to the end of the world' " (Romans 10:18).

What are the heavens declaring every day and every night? The good news of Jesus Christ and I will prove it!
