The Year of the Lord's Favor | Isaiah 61:1-11 | May 31, 2026

Something right now in your life feels impossible. Something in your life feels impossible. Just as if we step into Isaiah 61 for the children of Israel, it feels impossible. And I wonder, I just can't help but wonder, if we were to embrace the fact that in our relationship with the resurrected Christ, what might be impossible could actually become an everyday Tuesday. I wonder what it would look like for us individually to go through the transformation because of God's moving and act of holy spirit that we would lean into the impossible everyday because it's what calls us forward.

If God's gonna do the uno reverse card, how is everybody else gonna feel about that? I was like, oh, the Assyrian nation that is actually currently in captive holding Israel captive divided the tribes, they're gonna feel that as vengeance. That when God right sizes everything for his good and his glory, things that are against that are gonna feel that it's not good. And it's that reminder that when we live in alliance and in alignment with God, things that are not in alignment are gonna feel in opposition. And I actually love that tension.

What bold prayers do you get to pray and watch what happens as you take steps of faith? What bold prayers do you get to pray and watch what happens as you take steps of faith. For myself following Jesus, here's what I believe has been true in my life cause I've seen evidence of it. I can say I want something, and yet when my life doesn't align with taking action that direction, I I'm not surprised it doesn't happen. But when I say I want something, I wanna see Jesus move. I wanna see Jesus use me in a way, and I take, actions that way and I pray bold prayers in alignment with that. It's really funny how often god opens doors for that. It's almost like it works.

Every seven times seven year, this year of jubilee would happen. And the year of jubilee was an invitation that everything that was against God's covenant would be wiped out. As in no more slavery, no more debt. There would actually be lands returned to original owners. Leases would be restructured. If anybody was actually in need, the community would come together and go, we actually want to elevate you. The year of Jubilee was this declaration that there is a returning towards everybody is a part of God's kingdom in a winning fashion. [00:46:33] (33 seconds)  #JubileeRestoration

The fact that they will be called priests, this is like this is like earth shattering. For all of Israel to hear this because priests came from the tribe of Levi, the Levitical line. The priests were designated tribe to actually bring direction to the people of Israel. They were the ones that were to lead. They were the ones that were to be ministers. They were the ones to remind the children of Israel, this is where God has taken us. This is what holy and anointed people do. This is how we stay in alignment with that.

I love that tension, that invitation reminder that when we are following what God calls us to, there will always be a tension in the world we live in. When we align to what God is up to, we remember that our current circumstances are temporary even when it's really hard. It's only temporary. When we are in a moment where it feels like the world just is crumbling around us, that can feel like it's always gonna be that way. And, yeah, often we remind ourselves that the world around us is finite. It will not always last that way. Even when it's really hard, it is temporary. [00:49:17] (41 seconds)  #ThisTooShallPass

We don't live in what has always been wrong, what's always been wrong, what's always been frustrating. We live in what will be because where we're going and what Jesus reminds and invites us to as part of his kingdom builders is that we are to build his kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. And so when we are aligned with what God's alignment is for his people, we get to be agents of that here. [00:58:20] (22 seconds)  #KingdomBuilders

When we choose to live our faith out in such an audacious way that goes, hey, I actually believe that your marriage could be restored. I believe that your debt could be forgiven. I believe that your medical challenges will be healed. I believe that the family you've always longed for will one day be there. I believe that you will actually use your life in such a way to see people come to know faith. I believe and you could go on and on and on because I believe that what Jesus is up to could actually happen. [00:58:42] (27 seconds)  #FaithForRestoration
