Luke 4:14 (KJV 1900)
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:17 (KJV 1900)
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:20 (KJV 1900)
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Introduction.
Introduction.
Do you want to see the Pillar of Fire? When Jesus came to the earth we never see the Pillar of Fire “with” Him, but rather “in” Him.
The Spirit that was on Jesus is the Same Holy Ghost that is on you. The only difference is measure.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
45 Jesus, when He was on earth, anointed with That that they saw, notice, He said, “I come from God,” the Spirit, the Light, the Pillar of Fire, “and I return to God.” And He was made flesh in order to die for our sins.
Then after His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, after He ascended up; on the forty days, He ascended up; and on the fiftieth day, He returned back in a form of a Pillar of Fire, among the people,
and separated Himself, like tongues of fire, and set upon each of them. And then they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and begin to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
46 See, God separating Himself; God first in a great Pillar of Fire; God manifested in a human body; now God separating Himself among His people.
The Pillar of Fire breaking up, and setting upon each of them, like forked licks of blazes, cloven tongues set upon them, forks of fire, cloven tongues like fire set upon each of them. And they were all filled with That, and begin to speak with tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
47 Now, you see, we are not a divided people, we’ve got to be in unity, because each one of us holding a part of God. And we must come together, and then the Pillar of Fire is manifested in the wholeness, in the fulness of It;
when His Church sets together in Heavenly places, then the fulness of the power of God is in His Church. Each one of us holding spiritual gifts and spiritual offices, coming together, brings that Pillar of Fire back again. 63-1201M - An Absolute
The Spirit of the Lord came upon the Jesus to heal the Brokenhearted.
The Word used for broken is “shattered”.

What is meant by the Heart?
The heart is the innermost being. It is often tied to the human spirit.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: But a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Ezekiel spoke of a”New Heart and a new Spirit”
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Now, the heart is in the center of the emotions of the human being. Your heart is the middle of you. That’s exactly right.
So God puts a new heart in the middle of the old man, then He puts a new spirit in the middle of the new spirit, or heart, and puts His Spirit in the middle of the new spirit. 57-0324 - Why Some People Can't Keep The Victory
2. How does a heart get Shattered?
Your spirit gets shattered by words and actions, mostly from those closest to you. You get your wounds in the house of your friends.
a. Reproach.
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: Mine adversaries are all before thee.
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.
They gave me also gall for my meat; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Lexham Theological Wordbook חֶרְפָּה
חֶרְפָּה (ḥerpâ). n. fem. reproach, insult, scorn, taunting, abuse. A reproach or insult; the one so insulted.
To Reproach is to express disapproval. To be a reproach is to be the subject of that disapproval.
It is a great reproach to be a sinner. If you became a thief, and everyone knew it you would be a reproach among honest men.
The Samaritan Woman came at a different time than all the rest because it was a reproach to be in her condition, but Jesus was willing to be reproached by His own disciples to meet with her there.
Jesus died of a broken heart bearing our reproach.
30 What a terrible thing that sin does, it separates man from God! And He was the sin offering that had to be offered for our sins. And He was separated from the Presence of God.
Sin had separated Him. God placed our sins upon Him, and He was separated from God, and that’s why He cried, “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?”
And because He was forsaken, and had taken this place, and seen His people, that He was come to be their Saviour and to offer them Life, they had rejected Him, and it grieved Him, so, till He was so broken-hearted until the Blood and water, and the chemicals of His body, separated.
31 Man will never know what that was. That’s the reason there could be no one else could ever die like that. I don’t care how much that you could be tormented, how that they might put your feet in stocks, or saw you, by inches, or burn you by inches; you could not die that death, because your make-up is not like that.
He had to be God. He had to be, more than man. And to think, that, God died. He died of a broken heart, with such grief for the world, until a chemical reaction taken place in His body that could not take place in you.
You cannot suffer like that. There is no way for you to have that kind of a grief. So there is only One could do it, and He did it.
59-0329S - Living, Dying, Buried, Rising, Coming
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
He was touched by the feeling.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
We must be willing to take reproach for the cause of Christ.
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Reproach taken the wrong way causes a wounded spirit.
The root word of reproach is “revile”
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
If you bear reproaches like He did, you can be happy. You can only do that by His Spirit living in you.
b. Sorrow.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The Hebrew word comes from the root of “a wound”. It also means “to hurt someone’s feelings”.
Sometimes it is necessary to have a broken heart by sorrow.
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
64 Now, the approach to this birth, there is approach to it. And to be to approach this birth, you have to go through a process. Just like anything that lives, anything that lives again, has got to die first.
And you cannot keep your same spirit. You cannot keep your same habits. You cannot keep your same thoughts. You got to die. You’ve got to die like He died! You’ve got to die on His altar, like Abel did with his lamb. You got to die with your Lamb. You got to die.
61-1231M - You Must Be Born Again
You must die of a broken heart. Not for the sins of others, but from your own sin.
66 And if His elements of the earth, upon looking, seeing what was taking place, shook them to that condition, what ought it do to me and you?
What ought our souls to do when we look and see what God did for us? And it was all for you and for me. What ought it to do to us?
Continue in sin? God forbid. But to abstain from sins, and die to sin. Don’t you see what sin done to Him? Sin killed Him. And He took the penalty of sin, that He might bring the righteousness of God to you and me.
61-1231M - You Must Be Born Again
Our feelings have to be hurt to be born again, but there must be a resurrection of that broken Spirit. You need to be born to a place where the Word doesn’t hurt your feelings and break your heart, because you agree with it.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
There is a difference in Godly sorrow and the sorrow of this world.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
There’s a difference in the approach to the throne and the return from the throne. you approach broken, you return healed.
83 Now, no matter what goes on, be reverent. I don’t mean that you can’t praise God, but you approach God quietly, sanely, wonderfully. And then, when you see God do something, sure, He wants you to worship Him. But come reverently.
61-0119E - Queen Of Sheba
Coming reverently means more than just being quiet.
86 You can’t disrespect God! You’ve got to respect God. If you don’t believe it, just keep still, keep away from it. Or, either do that, or come reverently and respect it. Don’t make fun of people in the Spirit. Don’t talk about people that’s worshipping in the Spirit of God. Let them alone.
61-1015E - Respects
150. Brother Branham, how can a church dance, shout, speak in tongues, and let the Spirit…(let’s see, now wait a minute)…and get lost in the Spirit, and ever very seldom anytime Scripture read. I don’t understand it.
145 Neither do I; see, “shouting, dancing, speaking in tongues, and not even read the Scripture.” I say this, remember, William Branham, which could be a million miles wrong. I believe that most of the people…I was asked that question today by a brother, something on that order. That, when they go to pray for the sick, a brother will maybe pray for one, then get them all singing or dancing in the Spirit, thinking that brings power amongst the people. No, I for myself, I believe that’s wrong.
146 I believe that a person coming in the healing meeting will be like coming for salvation, come reverently, believing. Every person in there, not shouting and dancing, but seeing their brother or sister going up there to ask God for mercy, bow your head and start praying, “God, help my brother now as pastor prays for him, anoints him. Let the Holy Spirit come upon him and give him faith to believe for his healing. He’s a precious brother. She’s a precious sister.” Be praying for him instead of just singing, shouting and dancing.
147 But we see so much of that in our Pentecostal meetings, it’s a constant…I believe it’s a worship, I truly believe they’re worshipping God. Yes, sir. I believe it with all my heart. And I believe in speaking with tongues, shouting and dancing. And I believe it every bit, yes. I believe anything that they do in the Bible is just as good today as it was then, sure, but I believe it has its time and its order.
148 Now, if a great’s blessing’s on, and people are shouting, and the glory of the Lord is falling, and people want to scream and shout and do whatever the Spirit tells them. Go ahead, that’s right. But when a man’s coming to be healed, where the question between death and life is involved, I believe we should be reverent and speak to Father and talk to Him for this brother.
Instead of worshipping Him, let’s ask Him, “Father, I’m a worshipper of Yours. I love You, You know I do, I express my love to You. Now I’m expressing my faith to You, help my brother to be well. Will You, Father?” I believe you’ll get a better results by doing that. I really do. In reverence, the Spirit of God. 61-0723E - God Being Misunderstood
Just as we are instructed to come reverently we are instructed to go rejoicing, and be happy.
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
252 [A brother loudly cries out and the congregation greatly rejoices—Ed.]
253 “If thou canst believe, all things are possible.” If you can just believe now. Have faith in God. Don’t doubt. Now, somebody feeling good. Just, that’s all right.
254 I was going down through the state of Kentucky, the other day, I heard a man coming up through the bushes, screaming. I said, “Is that man…What’s the matter with him?” Said, “He’s just drunk and feeling good.”
255 So is this man, but he’s drunk on a different drink. Just drunk and feeling good. That’s right. “So be not drunk upon strong drinks, but be drunk on the Spirit,” said the Bible. 60-0604 - To Whom Shall We Go?
62 And now, by chance, if there would be someone in this building this morning, who is a lukewarm church member, and don’t know the joy of the battle being over.
People shout, people rejoice, people weep! You say, “What’s the matter with them?” They know it’s a finished thing. It’s all over! Sure! We are [Brother Branham claps his hands—Ed.] beating the bands.
We are screaming the trumpets, and the Gospel is a-going out. The glory and Power of God is known. And it’s a finished work, the treaty is signed; glory to God, Christ signed it in His Own Blood! The battle is over. The victory is won. I never won it; He won it! I’m just happy about it. My!
63 When some of those boys coming back from overseas, they tell me, when the ship come into New York, just as it come into the harbor, they looked over there and they seen the Statue of Liberty. Is the first thing you see, sticking up.
They rose, some of them crippled veterans out on the deck of the ship, so that they could see it. And when they begin to see that Statue of Liberty, they begin weeping. They cried. They couldn’t help it.
Great big man stood there, big rough-handed man, a-quivering and shaking. They couldn’t hold their emotions. Why? It was an emblem of freedom.
Just behind that Statue of Liberty, laid…was papa, mama, loved ones, sweetheart, wife, baby, all on this earth that meant dear to them, stayed just behind it.
And just before they walked in, they recognized, it was the land of the free and the home of the brave. Sure, it would shake your emotions, that old flag flying.
Think of it, a battle-scarred veteran coming into the harbor! Certainly, it was a wonderful time.
64 But, oh, brother, one of these mornings, when the old Ship of Zion blows, and I see that emblem standing there, the old rugged Cross! While the winds a-whipping her old gray banners, as she is moving through the fog of death.
What a victory it is! Why, no wonder we can’t hold our emotion still! Something has happened; we’ve become fellow-citizens. The thing is complete. 57-0421S - The Great And Mighty Conqueror
The Holy Ghost came to bind up the Brokenhearted.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

Bind up
Lexham Theological Wordbook חָבַשׁ
(ḥābaš). vb. to bind up. Used literally to describe the bandaging of wounds, and figuratively to describe the healing of brokenness.
The term is usually used to describe the binding of materials together. Several authors use the verb to indicate the act of saddling a donkey (e.g., Gen 22:3; Num 22:21; 1 Kgs 2:40). However, the term is also used to refer to the binding of wounds so they may heal; this generally appears in the OT as a metaphor for God’s care for his people (Hos 6:1; Psa 147:3; Job 5:18). Isaiah also uses the term to refer to the figurative binding up of the brokenhearted (Isa 61:1).
Answering a lawyers question.
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
pastors are obligated to stop and assist when people are hurting.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
21 Remember the good Samaritan that found the man wounded? He brought him to the inn (that’s the church) and gave the man there two pence, and told him if he needed any more he’d pay him when he come.
So, he’s got two pence, he’s able to doctor you up if he’s a man of God. If he’s a man of God that stands on the Word of God, he’s got what God give him: the Spirit and the Word. Is that right? How is it we’re to worship? In Spirit and in Truth. And the Word is the Truth. Is that right?
61-0319 - Jezebel Religion
See, I have no church, no…I just represent all of them, and try to send members to, wherever they want to go, that’s up to them. The main thing: Are they borned again? Do they know Jesus Christ as Saviour?
Then it’s the innkeeper to take him from there on, you see. God will give him the authority to take him the way he should go.
And it’s my business just to point them to Christ, pray for the sick, pour in the oil and take them over to the innkeeper. So then, they take care of the rest of it. 64-0619 - Perseverant
How do you bind up a broken heart? With Oil, Wine and a bandage.
oil and wine—the remedies used in such cases all over the East (Is 1:6), and elsewhere; the wine to cleanse the wounds, the oil to assuage their smartings.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: That went down to the skirts of his garments;
26 And to think that you can come apart and gather like this, where as the Psalmist said, “Behold how sweet and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity. It’s like the anointing oil that was on Aaron’s beard, that ran to the hems of his garments.” Which, that anointing oil…Which, you know what the anointing oil done, it preserved him to go in the Presence of God.
See, he had to be anointed with that oil before he went in the Presence of God. And when brethren can dwell together in unity, it’s likened unto that oil. We then enter into the Presence of the Lord, with that anointing of brethren together in unity. Oil represents the “Holy Spirit.”
65-1031M - Power Of Transformation
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
305 Now, oil is…symbolizes the Spirit, the Holy Spirit. I’ll give you a few verses if you want to. There’s two Scriptures. In Leviticus, 8:12, where Aaron, before he went in, had to be anointed with oil, you know.
And in Zechariah 4:12, of oil coming, pouring through the pipes, and said, “This is My Spirit, Oil.” Another thing, if you want to see Matthew, 14…25, there was a foolish virgin, or 25:3, the foolish virgin had no Oil, no Spirit.
And Matthew 25:4, the wise virgin had Oil in her lamp, Spirit-filled. Spirit! Oil typifies the Spirit. Oh, glory! [Brother Branham claps his hands together once—Ed.] All right. You get it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”] All right. Now, oil typifies Spirit.
306 And wine symbolizes stimulation of revelation. Oh, I like to a run all over the place. Wonder I didn’t wake up the neighborhood, when the Lord showed me that, see, “stimulation of revelation.” See?
307 Oil and wine, in the Bible, is associated together, always. I got the concordance and looked. There’s a string of them, that strinlike that, where wine and oil goes together, all the time. See?
308 When the Truth of a promised Word of God has been truly revealed to His saints that’s filled with Oil, they all get stimulated. Wine is a stimulation. Glory! I feel It right now. Stimulated with joy, shouts! See? And, when It does, It has the same effect upon them that wine does upon a natural man.
Because, when the revelation has been given, of a Truth of God, and the true believer filled with Oil, and the revelation is revealed, the stimulation becomes so great that He makes him behave hisself un-normally.
Right. Glory! [Congregation rejoices—Ed.] See, that’s what’s the matter with them now. That’s right, makes them behave theirself unseemingly. 63-0320 - The Third Seal

They were brokenhearted, wounded in Spirit because of the reproach and the sorrow. Suddenly, the healer came down and divided Himself among them.
They were brokenhearted, wounded in Spirit because of the reproach and the sorrow. Suddenly, the healer came down and divided Himself among them.
314 So, you see, wine represents stimulation of revelation. And when the Holy Ghost fell, and they seen the Fire of God fall upon them, my, that begin to stimulate them. And the first thing you know, they got so stimulated till the people actually thought they were drunk, but they were stimulated by the revelation. By God’s…Here it is!
God’s vindicated revelation, made plain to them, they was happy about It. God promised it. Here it was revealed to them, and vindicated to them. Amen! Here was a man standing there, saying, “This is That! This is It!” And there It was, being a vindicated by the same sign that we have today. There is stimulation by revelation. See? And, now, they really had It then.
63-0320 - The Third Seal
318 They become so stimulated, over the revelation, that they vindicated, all right, the promise. Now, oh, my! There broke out the joy of stimulation, till the people said, “They’re drunk on new wine,” when God revealed His promise to them. And not only did He reveal it, but He proved it. 63-0320 - The Third Seal
Samaritan woman.
323 Then the stimulation started. And away she went, shouting, and down through the city. She left her old waterpot, and went down there, and said to the men, “Come, see!”
63-0320 - The Third Seal
The Oil of the Holy Spirit Soothes and Seals the wound and the Wine of Stimulation of Revelation kills the germs that would cause the wound to get infected and spread to the rest of the body.
The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.
Conclusion.
Conclusion.
What if the wounded man refused treatment? I hate iodine, my mama used it to treat everything that bled. If I didn’t allow myself to be treated, I might have suffered much worse from infection. The Laodiceans refused treatment.
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Jesus is the Good Neighbor. He’s the only one that cared for you. Let him pour in the oil and the wine. He knows what’s good for you.
I love You, dear Jesus, You’ve broken my heart over and over, but I love You for it.
