THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD:

Jesus read this prophecy at the beginning of His 3 year ministry- it's like His mission statement: Luke 4:18

"The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free...

He doesn't say He wants to have a big influence, or lots of followers, a nice place of worship or even a nice place to rest His own head! 

He declares that God's Spirit will be upon Him

And that He will "proclaim" which means: to declare publicly, typically insistently, proudly, or defiantly.

I don't know if Jesus knew exactly what the next 3 years of His life would look like but He prophesied by speaking out the scriptures. We too can speak out the scriptures- in fact the very same scripture Jesus did! We may not know how or what our work will look like in "releasing captives (spiritually and physically), causing the blind to see (spiritually and physically) and setting the oppressed free (spiritually and physically) but we do know we can proclaim it in Jesus name with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and it will be done.
