Good morning everyone and welcome to another mornings with the masters where we devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Today we are jumping in on day three of our Bible app plan called Double Blessing and if you miss the last two days

highly recommend going back and listening to them because today's kind of

picks up from a little bit of day two.

And so yeah, recommend you listening to that one.

But let's just jump on in and be encouraged.

Today's scripture is Zachariah 912 and it says,

Come back to the place of safety, all you prisoners who still have hope.

I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles.

The devotional is titled Holy Anticipation says this, there are half a dozen double promises in

scripture. The prophet Isaiah promised a double portion of joy or

prosperity depending on your translation of choice in Isaiah 617.

The Apostle Paul conferred double honor on those who lead well in First Timothy 517.

And a double portion of Elijah's spirit netted twice as many miracles

in the Ministry of Elisha in Second Kings 2-9.

But perhaps the most unique binary blessing in the Bible

is declared by the Prophet Zachariah

in verse 912 like we read.

This is a different version. It says,

return to your stronghold, oh prisoners of hope.

Today I declare that I will restore to you double.

Zachariah declared this double blessing to Jewish prisoners of war, but he called them prisoners of hope.
