Financial Jubilee

One of the greatest keys to spiritual harvest is timing. God always works in times and seasons. He moves in cycles with specific beginning and ending points. Within these divine cycles, various supernatural things occur which lead us to conclude that these are God’s cycles, not man-made cycles.

Israel was God’s chosen people and He established for them a Jubilee— a supernatural cycle — during which specific, liberating events were to occur. As a born-again, Spirit-filled believer, you are spiritual Israel — chosen and ordained of God — not because your flesh is circumcised — but because your heart is circumcised by the blood of Jesus:

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. (Colossians 2:11)

When Moses went up to Mount Sinai to meet with God, he was given instructions regarding specific days, times, and seasons which were to be consecrated and set apart as holy days. Each of these appointed days was very important to God and had a specific purpose. The observance of these days were foreshadows of God’s plan of redemption through Christ and revealed His desire to pour out the fullness of His blessings upon His people.

Among these special observances was the Year of Jubilee. It was not just a man-made tradition or ceremony, but it was God-ordained! God planned for Israel to observe it throughout the generations as a testimony of God’s faithfulness and supernatural provision.

The word “jubilee” is taken from the Hebrew word “yovel,” and over the years, it became known as a year of liberty, freedom, and victory! It means “to cause to bring back.”

In Leviticus 25, God established five essential features which characterized Jubilee in ancient Israel:

Release: Liberty was proclaimed to all who were in bondage — those enslaved were set free.
Restoration: Lost possessions were returned — property lost through debt or poverty reverted to its original owner.
Debt cancellation: All debts were cancelled.
Protection: The people would dwell in the land in safety because the enemy — who came to rob, steal, and destroy — would be defeated.
Increase: There would be divine sufficiency, a supernatural cycle of God’s provision.

As New Testament Israel, God wants you to experience financial jubilee — continual provision, total supply — as did His people, Israel.
