Anniversary Celebration

'“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.”' Luke 4:18-19 (TPT)

Jesus fulfilled most of the Messianic prophesies in the Old Testament, even though most of His chosen people still do not believe and refuse to see the truth. This prophesy of Isaiah was for them then and later repeated by Jesus himself in that small synagogue of Nazareth. He said 'I have come'. He is the Anointed One, sent by the Father and with the Spirit of the Lord upon Him. Today, and everyday we remember Him and celebrate this Anniversary. 

He is the Anointed One and Deliverer sent from the Father that we have been hoping for. What a gift He is to us. During that time, the majority of His chosen people were scattered. When they heard these words of hope from the lips of the Savior those that remained were hopelessly crushed under the weight of servitude. His mission was one of service to the poor and sadly, many of the wealthy and powerful in His day were skeptical and spiritually blind. They mocked Him and saw Him as a threat to their power and refused to believe. 

But we can find Joy and believe this day that God sent Him to us to give freedom for the brokenhearted, both Jew and Gentile. Because He is God, there are no limits on Him as far as the gifts and graces of the Spirit. He is omnipotent. 

He is Perfect and He is Love and through Christ, sinners can be loosed from the bonds of guilt. 'You are set free!' He came to give light through His Word to those in darkness and by His Power to restore sight to the blind with 'the message of Jubilee'. 

As believers, may we honor Him as the Son of God and the Savior of men and seek to show the world that we Love Him by our obedience during this time of God's great acceptance. Amen. 

Dear Father 

We honor you this day with our worship and praise. We believe. We declare the Good News of Your Message. This is the message of Jubilee! You have given freedom to the brokenhearted, and given new eyes to the blind, and preached to the prisoners and You have set us free. We accept You as our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your service and sacrifice. We choose to obey You. 

In Jesus's name.

Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
