Crown of Beauty

- Pastor Rusty - March 28 2025

“to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” Isa. 61:3 BSB

Well, here we are still in Isaiah 61. This seems to be the prophetic statement for the season. This is like the fifth time I’ve written on Isaiah 61 since the beginning of the year. Today we are revisiting Vs. 3, but for a different reason. The Lord started causing inspiration to come on one phrase from his passage and as I began to meditate the word became clear. Then as if to punctuate the the point Pastor Tim, in the Wednesday morning prayer gathering spoke into this with clarity when he broke out in prophetic prayer. He said that the Lord is crowning the body of Christ in this region. You are not just being endowed with beauty, but you are being “Crowned” with beauty.

Now the King James omits the word to be “crowned” with beauty in it’s translation… I don’t know why… since the Hebrew word being translated there is “p’er”, which indicates a headdress or crown of beauty.🤔 It seams every other translation indicates that it is a “Crowning” of beauty that is taking place.🧐

I believe there is a CROWNING taking place and the OZARKIAN prayer core is stepping into a new authority that is derived from FAVOR that is being bestowed upon the OZARKIAN bride of Christ. You feel it! It is tangible! The oil upon our heads will increase throughout this season! Unbelievable favor is being poured out upon you! A line from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade comes to mind, “You have chosen wisely!” “When you chose to pursue me says the Lord!” Because “The LORD is a rewarder of those who diligently pursue Him.”

He is preparing a table for you in the presence of your enemies. He is inviting you, “Come and sit at my table” where cups “runneth” over! You are invited to the table of the Lord’s favor! Hallelujah!

“Holy Father, bestow a crown of beauty upon the head of your bride in this season. Bestow favor and authority upon her head. Help us see we are invited to a seat at the Table of the Lord’s Favor. Let us eat at the fruit and blessings from your table. Like Daniel, sustain our countenance from the table of your presence. In thy presence is fullness of JOY! In JESUS name… Amen!
