Embracing The Lord's Release: A Divine Reset

Devotional

Day 1: Embracing the Divine Reset

The concept of the Lord's Release in Deuteronomy 15 signifies a divine reset where debts are forgiven, and a new season begins. This principle is not just historical but is relevant today as God orchestrates a reset in our lives and nations. Understanding this can help us align with God's timing and purposes. The Lord's Release is a powerful reminder that God desires to free us from the burdens of the past and usher us into a new season of grace and opportunity. As we embrace this divine reset, we can experience a fresh start in various areas of our lives, including our finances, relationships, and spiritual walk. [13:20]

Deuteronomy 15:1-2 (ESV): "At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the Lord's release has been proclaimed."

Reflection: What areas of your life do you need to experience a divine reset? How can you align yourself with God's timing and purposes to embrace this new season fully?

Day 2: Recognizing Prophetic Fulfillment

The prophetic words given in 2007 about Omaha, including the construction of a third skyscraper and the expansion of the airport, are now being fulfilled. These signs indicate that God has marked Omaha for a significant role in reaching the nations. This teaches us to pay attention to prophetic words and their fulfillment as signs of God's plans. Recognizing the fulfillment of prophecy helps us to see God's hand at work in our world and encourages us to trust in His promises. As we witness these prophecies coming to pass, we are reminded of God's faithfulness and His sovereign plan for our lives and communities. [08:18]

Amos 3:7 (ESV): "For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets."

Reflection: Are there prophetic words spoken over your life or community that you need to pay attention to? How can you actively participate in the fulfillment of God's plans?

Day 3: The Power of Persistent Prayer

Elijah's story during the three-and-a-half-year drought illustrates the importance of persistence in prayer and unwavering faith. Despite the lack of visible evidence, Elijah continued to pray and believe in God's promise. This encourages us to remain steadfast in our faith, even when we don't see immediate results. Persistent prayer is a demonstration of our trust in God's timing and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. By continuing to pray and believe, we align ourselves with God's will and open the door for His miraculous intervention in our lives. [17:30]

James 5:17-18 (ESV): "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit."

Reflection: In what areas of your life do you need to persist in prayer? How can you strengthen your faith to continue believing in God's promises despite the lack of immediate evidence?

Day 4: Discerning God's Timetable

God operates on His divine timetable, which often intersects with our natural seasons. Understanding the times and seasons is crucial for aligning with God's purposes. This discernment helps us navigate through periods of change and uncertainty with confidence in God's plan. By discerning God's timetable, we can better understand His will for our lives and make decisions that align with His purposes. This spiritual insight allows us to move forward with assurance, knowing that we are in step with God's divine plan. [13:20]

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV): "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."

Reflection: How can you develop a deeper understanding of God's timetable in your life? What steps can you take to align your actions with His divine seasons?

Day 5: National Release and Societal Transformation

Just as God called for a national release for Israel from Egypt, He is calling for a release in our nation today. This involves a societal shift away from oppressive systems and towards God's divine order. Recognizing this can inspire us to pray and work towards societal transformation in alignment with God's will. As we seek to bring about this national release, we must be willing to challenge unjust systems and advocate for God's justice and righteousness. This call to action requires us to be both prayerful and proactive in our efforts to see God's kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. [30:00]

Isaiah 58:6 (ESV): "Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?"

Reflection: What specific actions can you take to contribute to societal transformation in alignment with God's divine order? How can you pray and work towards a national release from oppressive systems?

Sermon Summary

### Summary

Today, we explored the concept of "The Lord's Release" as described in Deuteronomy 15. This principle, which occurs at the end of every seven years, signifies a divine reset where debts are forgiven, and a new season begins. We examined how this biblical principle applies to our current times, especially in the context of the prophetic words spoken over Omaha and the nation. The winds of change are blowing, and God is orchestrating a divine reset that will impact not just individuals but entire cities and nations.

We delved into the prophetic words given in 2007 about Omaha, highlighting the construction of a third skyscraper and the expansion of the airport as signs of a new day. These prophecies are now coming to fruition, signifying that God has marked Omaha for a significant role in reaching the nations. We also discussed the importance of discerning the times and seasons, understanding that God operates on His divine timetable, which often intersects with our natural seasons.

The story of Elijah and the end of the three-and-a-half-year drought served as a powerful illustration of how God's promises often come without visible evidence. Elijah's persistence in prayer and his unwavering faith despite the lack of immediate signs teach us the importance of staying the course and trusting God's word.

We also touched on the political and social challenges facing our nation, drawing parallels to the Israelites' experience in Egypt.
