The thought \u201cgarment of praise&#8221; came to mind. When I looked up Isaiah 61:3\u00a0in our translation, it shows \u201cmantle of praise&#8221;. It is hard for me to think of a &#8220;mantle of praise&#8221; being the same as a mantle like Elijah passed on. In my mind I think of a mantle as representing an anointing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">I looked up the word mantle to reference\u00a0how it is used in the Bible, and it seems to be many times as a robe or clothing. To think of Jesus wrapping us in his spirit and allowing us to praise him moves me deeply. What I saw on the young people was pulled from within them and they were submitting to that heavenly draw. I feel it every time I watch the video. Thinking about a garment of praise, I can picture Jesus standing there in the room with us, covering each of them that night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">I guess when Jesus chooses one to anoint, he is laying a heavenly cloak upon them.\u00a0 Brings tears to my eyes thinking about Jesus laying a cloak upon you, Pastor John.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">I don&#8217;t know anything more beautiful than the truth, Pastor John.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Isaiah 61:3<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">\u201cTo provide for those mourning in Zion \u2014 to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, a mantle of praise instead of a weary spirit \u2014 that they might be called, \u201ctrees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah\u201d, that He might be glorified.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Beth<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Pastor John,\u00a0\u00a0 I was thinking about how beautiful the young people looked praising the Lord Saturday evening.
