Isaiah 61:7 – They Shall Receive and Inherit a Double Portion – 0912A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0912A recorded on July 15, 1984 teaching from Isaiah 61:7 – They Shall Receive and Inherit a Double Portion.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens centers on the promise of receiving and inheriting a double portion, drawing heavily from Isaiah 61:7. He distinguishes between the immediate reception of this blessing, which occurs when God transforms the heart and soul, and the eventual inheritance, which is a guaranteed, eternal experience likened to an incorruptible treasure that cannot be destroyed. Stevens contrasts the concept of shame and mourning, symbolized by wearing ashes, with the divine exchange offered: a crown of beauty instead of ashes and the oil of gladness instead of the spirit of despair. Furthermore, he highlights that a permanent divine anointing brings healing for the brokenhearted, freedom for the captive, and release for the prisoner, emphasizing that true deliverance comes not from self-effort but by casting oneself upon Christ to receive this double portion of grace, love, and spiritual enrichment.
