Sermon Tone Analysis

We’ve been ministering on the subject of *“Absolute Victory.”*

Today I’m going to be *sharing* with you on the subject of the *Year of Jubilee*.

As we get into this teaching *you’ll see* that *victory does belong to you* *and* that *you’re going to walk in it*.

*I) *I guess the most *asked question* is *“What does the year of Jubilee mean?”*

*A) **It’s a time of BLESSING AND RESTORATION *that is coming *to Israel* *but* it’s not just for Israel alone, but it *also* has a great deal of *significance for believers*.

*1) *Turn with me to *Leviticus 25:8-9**.*

*a) **In these two Vs.

we can see that Jubilee comes and is celebrated every 49 years.

Jubilee lasts for one year, which means that it goes into the 50th year.*

*(i) **These Vs. also tell us when Jubilee begins it starts on the Day of Atonement on the 49 year.*

*b) **For Israel*, this *was* *October 1997*.

*(i) *This was *NOT Israel’s first Jubilee*, *but* it is the *first* Jubilee *since* the *restoration of Israel* as a nation in *1948*.

*B) **Israel* is actually *God’s prophetic time clock*.

*1) **Whenever God moves*, *he moves with Israel first* and *then in the Church*.

*a) **Israel* *began their Jubilee* on the *Day of Atonement* *on the 49 year*.

And as we said, for Israel, *this was October 1997*.

*2) **But*, *according to God’s plan*, *ours begins after their finishes* in October 1998.

*a) **Our Jubilee* for the Church *really starts this fall*, *but* *because Israel’s Jubilee has already begun*, *we to are already experiencing some of the blessings of God*.

*b) *In *(Galatians 3:8-9)* *God said to Abraham*, who was the *first Jew*, *“In thee shall all nations be blessed.

So them they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.”*

*(i) *We are *already* *seeing some* of the *blessings of Jubilee* *overflowing onto the Church*.

*c) **But* we *won’t experience* it in the *fullness* that *God has* for the Church *until October 1998*.

In other words it *fullness* will *begin this October*.

*II) **Jubilee** is a tremendous time of **LIBERTY AND RESTORATION*.

It is *a time of great blessings*.

*A) *In this same chapter of Leviticus that we started in reveals to us* **SEVEN BLESSINGS** **found in Jubilee*.

*B) *(*Leviticus 25:10)* says, *“And ye shall hallow the 50th year, and* *PROCLAIM LIBERTY** throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof*; *it shall be a Jubilee unto you*; *and ye shall* *RETURN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS POSSESSION*, *and ye shall* *RETURN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS FAMILY*.”

*1) *The *FIRST* blessing found in Jubilee is *LIBERTY TO THE INHABITANTS IN THE LAND*.

*a) *That *liberty is a freedom from* *the bondages* that the *enemy* has *tried* *to* *place on you*.

*(i) **Those bondages* which are being broken would *include* *oppression*, it would include *the works of the enemy*, it would include *curses spoken over you*, and it even includes *generational curses*.

*(ii) *Those *bondages* *are being broken*.

*(iii) **Total liberty is coming* your way.

*2) *The *second* blessing of Jubilee, also found in this verse, is a *RESTORATION OF ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS*.

*a) **All that you lost will be restored*.

*b) **Keep* your *finger* there *in Leviticus* *and* *turn* with me *to* *JOEL 2:23-28*.

*(i) **In* this year of *Jubilee* *God will** begin to restore everything* that *the enemy has stolen from you.*

*(ii) *But this *verse also declares* to us that *when God begins to restore* *His Spirit will begin to be poured out** on all flesh*.

*(a) **That means** in* the year of *Jubilee* *we'll** begin to see more of the Glory of God* *and* will see *more** of God’s miracles*.

*(b) **In this next year expect your miracle*, for *the** Glory of God will begin to manifest* *like never before* *in your life* *and* *in the Church*.

*3) *The *third* blessing of Jubilee is that *GOD’S PEOPLE WILL RETURN TO THEIR FAMILIES*.

*a) *There’s *coming a time of great family unity*, a time of *family restoration* *and* *blessing*.

*b) *In this year begin to *start claiming the salvation of your loved ones*.

*(i) **Not only** will there be greater family unity* *and* *restoration* in the family, *but** there will* also *be* *countless numbers* of people *being restored to the family of God*.

*C) *Look at *Leviticus 25:12* it *says, “For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy unto you:* *YE SHALL EAT THE INCREASE THEREOF OUT OF THE FIELD.”*

*1) **#4*.

The Jubilee is the time when *YOU WILL EAT THE INCREASE OUT OF THE FIELD*.

*a) *It will be a time of *great abundance*, *prosperity*.

*b) *And it’s also *a time* *when God will bring it out of DEBT.*

*(i) **In* the year *Jubilee* *Israel** was to let their fields rest*, no planting or harvesting of the fields.

*(ii) *But *God would supernaturally provide* for his people.

*Expect** that supernatural provision* *and* *God’s blessings on your finances*.

*2) *But remember, *NOW is the time to sow* *for your supernatural Jubilee harvest.*

*D) **Leviticus 25:14* *says*, *“And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbor, or buyest ought of thy neighbor’s hand,* *YE SHALL NOT OPPRESS ONE ANOTHER*.”

*1) **#5*.

The *Jubilee* *is the time* *when **OPPRESSION WILL CEASE** in and among* *God’s people*.

*2) **The enemy will not be able to oppression you* any longer *but* *also* *man will not be able to bring oppression** upon you*.

*You’ll be free from oppression*.

*E) *(*Leviticus 25:17*) says, *“Ye shall not therefore oppress one another;* *but THOU SHALT FEAR THY GOD: FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.”*

*1) **#6*.

In the year to *Jubilee* there will be *a renewed **reverence for God* *and* we will *receive* a *fresh **REVELATION OF WHO HE IS*.

*a) *We’ll *begin to have* a *fresh awakening* *of the power of God*.

*b) *The *problems* that *we see* in our lives *we’ll begin to realize* that *they’re not solved* *by might** nor power* *but by my spirit** says the Lord*.

*(i) **Will* begin to *have* *a renewed trust in Almighty* God.

*F) *(*Leviticus 25:19*) says, “*And the land shall* *YIELD HER FRUIT*, and *YE SHALL EAT YOUR FILL*, and *DWELL THEREIN IN SAFETY**.”*

*1) **#7*.

The *Jubilee is a time* *when* *everything* that you *PUT YOUR HAND TO* *WILL BE BLESSED*.

It will yield its fruit.

*a) *It is *also a time* where *YOU WILL BE SATISFIED*.

You’ll *eat your fill.*

*b) *It is *also* a time of *GREAT BLESSING AND PROTECTION*.

*III) *The *Word of God* *is clear*.

*Everything God does*, *HE DOES TO THE JEW FIRST*.

*A) *In (*Romans 1:16*) it *declares* that *the preaching of God’s Word* *would go* *“TO THE JEW FIRST AND ALSO TO THE GREEK.”*

*1) **When Jesus* was *teaching* the *twelve disciples* in (*Matthew 10:6*), he *first sent them to* “*the lost house of Israel*.”

*a) *But *in* (*verse 5*), *He commanded them not to preach the Gospel* *to* the *Gentiles* *or* Samaritans, *but to* the *“LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.”*

*b) **Later** in* (*Matthew 28:19*) the *Lord* *released them to*, *“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.”*

*(i) *In *(ACTS 1:8*) we see Him *sending** His followers* *to* the *“uttermost part of the earth.”*

*(ii) *But *first* the *Gospel* was *preached to the Jews*.

*B) **Another principle* we find *in the Bible* that is *important* for us today *is that the NATURAL PRECEDES THE SPIRITUAL*.

*1) *In (*1 Corinthians 15:46 NIV*) it says, *“The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.”*

*a) *According to the scripture, *Israel is the natural* *and* the *Church is the spiritual*.

*2) **God always begins* *each plan* *first* *with Israel*, *whether* they *except* it *or* *reject* it, *whether* they *understand* it *or* *not*.

*a) *Then *He repeats* that *plan* in the Church.

*b) *So *today*, *as we watch Israel celebrating their 50th year as a nation*, *their Jubilee*, *we know our Jubilee is coming* *and** even has already begun* to some degree.

*IV) **When you will I* *were saved* *we met Jesus** in the revelation of Him as Saviour*.

*A) **And He continues* *to reveal himself* *as we walk with the Lord*.

*1) **He also comes to us as* *our Saviour* and *Baptizer in the Holy Spirit*, *as Sanctifier*, as *Healer*, as *Deliverer* and *much more*.

*2) **For the believer*, *Jubilee is the revelation of Christ* *as total Deliverer*.

*a) **And I believe* that *God is about to bring you into the fullness of His liberty*, *into* His *Jubilee*.

But *be ready for it*.

*b) *You are *coming into liberty* *from all bondage*, *debt*, and *oppression*.

*Get ready* *for this fulfillment in your life*.

*B) **Now is the time** for you and I* as believers *to prepare for our Jubilee*, *not only in prayer*, *but also in giving** to the work of God* *as never before*.

*1) **When* the *Jubilee harvest begins* *I don’t want to miss out on it*.

I believe *it’s going to be the greatest harvest time* *in** the history* of the Church.

*2) **You’ll begin to walk in the promises of (Deuteronomy 28:6),* which says, *“Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed *shalt thou be when thou goest out.”

*C) **The blessings of Jubilee are yours*.

*Begin to claim your inheritance* *as a child of God*.

*1) **This is not a time to hold back* *from God*, *but** it’s a time to press in to the things of God*.

*2) **In these last days*, *God is going to move through His people** to be a great blessing upon the earth.*

*3) **Get ready to be blessed*.
