The Lord speaks in many ways and just today an amazing thing has been revealed.
Last go back to last Sunday. Our head usher was sharing with me about the amazing time of worship he had at the District Youth Leader convention Friday night. He said the Lord gave him a word to share with the congregation. he got up Sunday morning before worship and shared a little and then said that the Lord told him 2 words for our church, "Its Time". Wow, very cool.. It is time. Time for us to start walking the walk and stop just talking the talk. Lets get out and start working in our gifts and doing the work the Lord has called us to do.
Then during worship, one of the men from our church blew the Shofar, which is a horn made from a Ram's horn. This was very cool and the timing of when he did in worship was just amazing.
Then, my beautiful wife called me to today to share something that she was reading out of Leviticus. Leviticus 25:8-12 (The Year of Jubilee)
8 " 'Count off seven sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years. 9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. 10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each one of you is to return to his family property and each to his own clan. 11 The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. 12 For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
So, Its time, the trumpet has sounded and I leave in 51 days back to the land of my ancestors, Scotland. This is a jubilee year. Maybe not technically, since I do not know if this is a fiftieth year. But in my life, I feel this is a year to celebrate the Lord's favor. I really do feel amazing things are going to happen at our church and in our community. Let us claim liberty and freedom in the name of Jesus throughout this land. Jesus has set us free, He has given us liberty from our sins by paying the price on the cross. We have eternal life by believing in Him and accepting the free gift he has given us by dying on that cross. To pay for all of our sins, blood needed to be shed and Jesus was the only perfect and holy sacrifice that could do it.
The time is now. This just really struck me today and I just wanted to share.
God bless
Tony
