Embracing Jubilee: A Year of Renewal and Restoration

Devotional

Day 1: Worship as a Foundation for Breakthroughs

Our worship is not just a routine act but a powerful declaration of our faith and anticipation of God's blessings. As we enter 2025, a year of jubilee, our worship sets the tone for the spiritual breakthroughs we seek. Whether we find ourselves in moments of joy or struggle, our commitment to praise God is crucial. Worship is an act of surrender and trust, acknowledging God's sovereignty and inviting His presence into our lives. It is through worship that we align our hearts with God's will, opening ourselves to the blessings and breakthroughs He has in store for us. [02:38]

"Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!" (1 Chronicles 16:23-24, ESV)

Reflection: How can you incorporate worship into your daily routine, even in moments of difficulty, to set the tone for God's presence in your life?

Day 2: Fasting as a Spiritual Discipline

The Daniel Fast is more than a dietary change; it is a spiritual discipline that demonstrates our seriousness about our walk with God. By abstaining from certain foods, we bring our flesh under control and prepare ourselves to be vessels for God's use. This fast is a time to focus on prayer, reflection, and seeking God's guidance. It is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God, allowing Him to work in and through us. As we begin this fast, let us approach it with intentionality, seeking to grow closer to God and align our lives with His purposes. [42:19]

"Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods." (Ezra 8:21, ESV)

Reflection: What specific intention or prayer will you focus on during the Daniel Fast to deepen your relationship with God?

Day 3: Embracing the Year of Jubilee

The year of jubilee is a profound opportunity for freedom, restoration, and healing. Rooted in Leviticus 25:10, it is a time to experience God's miraculous power in unprecedented ways. This year, we proclaim a year of jubilee, believing that God will set our loved ones free from sin and addiction, restore broken relationships, and bring healing to our lives. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness God's transformative power. As we embrace this year, let us actively participate in the jubilee through our prayers, fasting, and dedication, trusting that God will bring about the change we desire. [46:30]

"And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan." (Leviticus 25:10, ESV)

Reflection: What area of your life do you need to proclaim a jubilee over, seeking God's freedom and restoration?

Day 4: The Power of the Blood Covenant

Our victory and jubilee are rooted in the blood covenant we have with God through Jesus Christ. It is through His blood that we are set free, restored, and healed. The blood covenant is a powerful reminder of God's promise and faithfulness. As we embrace this year of jubilee, we must also embrace the principles and commitments that come with it. Our dedication to prayer, fasting, and living by God's principles will unlock the blessings and miracles we seek. Let us plead the blood of Jesus over our families, believing in the double blessings that God promises. [48:32]

"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace." (Ephesians 1:7, ESV)

Reflection: How can you actively plead the blood of Jesus over your family and loved ones, trusting in His promise of redemption and restoration?

Day 5: Commitment to Prayer and Principles

Embracing the year of jubilee requires dedication to prayer, fasting, and living by God's principles. Our commitment to these spiritual disciplines will unlock the blessings and miracles we seek for ourselves and our families. As we move forward, let us commit to praying for our families, envisioning the freedom, restoration, and healing that God will bring. This year, let us be bold in our faith, dedicated in our worship, and steadfast in our commitment to God, knowing that He is with us and will bless us abundantly. [01:04:20]

"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving." (Colossians 4:2, ESV)

Reflection: What specific prayer or principle will you commit to this year to align your life with God's will and unlock His blessings?

"I'm just talking to the angel band. Well, I need to set a precedent today, don't I? I need to set a precedent today that I'm going to come in and worship him regardless of whether I'm living on a mountain or regardless of whether I'm living on a mountain. If I'm living in the valley, I'm going to come in and praise and magnify and lift up the Lord. Hallelujah. Let's all pray together right now in Jesus' name. Lord, as we start this service, God, I just praise you. Magnify your glorious name, God. Lord, I come to praise you with everything that's within me today. In Jesus' name, amen. There's a healer in the house of the Lord today." [00:03:20] (41 seconds)

"Leviticus 25 and 10. Leviticus 25 and 10. I know Sister Heather has it up with the King James Version. I'm going to read out of the New King James, so just please forgive me. Leviticus 25 and 10. And you shall consecrate the 50th year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all of its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return his possession and each of you shall return to his family. I just can't help not to think that it's no coincidence that the year 2025 is not only the church's 10th year anniversary, but a year of jubilee." [00:43:14] (60 seconds)

"I'm glad you're believing that with me because I want to say what is the source of all these blessings? God's going to use us. Amen. God's going to use us. Somebody, put your hand out in front of you and say, my family's going to be delivered by my hand. My family's going to be healed by my hand. My family's going to be restored by my hand. It's going to be my prayer life. Come on, it's going to be my fasting. It's going to be me getting into the Word of God and delivering my family through the power of God." [00:47:54] (33 seconds)

"Somebody say it to yourself. Somebody tell the devil, my family's going to experience a jubilee. They're going to experience freedom, restoration, and healing this year. Why? Because I have a blood covenant with the Lord. I have a blood covenant with him. Zechariah 9, 11 through 12 says, As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein there is no water. There's nothing in the world to sustain you, is it? There's nothing in sin that will sustain you. You can't get the waters of living life in the pit, can you? But God's bringing us out of a place where there's abundance of water flowing. It's an overflowing presence in the power of a holy God." [00:49:23] (49 seconds)

"Somebody say, I'm having a jubilee. If you believe 2025 is your year of jubilee, then you believe it's a year of freedom. You believe it's a year of restoration. You believe it's a year of healing for your family. God, give God a shout of praise if you believe that. Amen. I believe this, by the end of 2025, some of us will shake our head in amazement and begin to testify you're not going to believe what God has done for me. You're not going to believe that person that you said would never be saved. They're a member of New Life on Eastern Valley. They've been baptized in Jesus' name." [00:51:40] (43 seconds)

"Come on, you've got to see your jubilee before your jubilee is ever going to happen. Man, I'm so far off my notes, but hopefully we're right in where God's at. You can't sit there in a worship service desiring for your family to be saved when you can't even worship God yourself. You've got to see them being saved through the power of your testimony. Somebody said, what are you doing? They said, well, I'm sitting at home watching TV with my kid. Listen, your kid needs to see you in the church house praising and magnifying." [00:53:56] (40 seconds)

"John 14 and 12, Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me and the works that I do, shall he also do? But he didn't stop there. He said, hold on. Greater works than these. Greater works than these shall you do. Because I go unto my Father, and then I love verse 13, and whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that my Father will be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. And the church just should have had a Holy Ghost for you." [01:03:33] (37 seconds)

"God's not going to bless the sinner with anything but the Holy Ghost. Amen. But he's going to bless people filled with the Holy Ghost, with the blessings of the Lord. And anything you ask, you ask in his name. So there has to be things that we have to do. God's just not going to do it all himself. How many of you ever heard of Jerry Wayne Dillon? Pastor's over in Madison. They call him the helicopter preacher. They say he don't need a runway. He just goes straight up. He's wide open or sitting down." [01:04:25] (32 seconds)
