Isn’t that the endgame for the Overcomers, the Remnant, that Our Heavenly Father has reserved for this time? Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians:
5:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
The word “ministry” is the Greek word “diakonia” which means those who serve, those who by the command of God proclaim and promote HIS Kingdom.
The word “reconciliation” is the Greek word “katallagē” which means to exchange for money, exchanging equivalent values thus it would relate to a ransom. Our Heavenly Father established your ransom value in Leviticus when HE proclaimed the Census both times. Stephen Jones was led to call forth a Census for the Jubilee Prayer Campaign in 1993. (See http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2013/05-2013/new-census-being-taken/). We are now conducting the second Census. Isn’t a Jubilee all about restoration?
Leviticus 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.
9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land.
10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine.
12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.
You see why our current Census is to be completed on the Day of Atonement. That is the Day of Reconciliation. One would think that the Ministry of Reconciliation might begin on the Day of Atonement. We called a second Census for those who are led to be counted for the entrance into the Promised Land. Remember that during the time of Moses the land needed to be taken from the lawlessness of the inhabitants that prevailed at that time. The land needed to be restored and reconciled back to the proper ownership. After it was “reconciled” then the inheritance was distributed to those who were counted.
If you have not registered for the Census, ask Our Heavenly Father if you should? If you don’t hear a response, wait until you do… either a yes or a no. Silence may mean you are being challenged to see if you will pursue an answer. Our ego wants to remain in control. The Ministry of Reconciliation is all about serving as Paul stated in the passage above. Our ego wants us to serve “it” and no other. I believe these are times where the stakes are high. Once in the Promised Land, there were two covenants made: The Covenant at Gilgal(Rolling) and The Covenant at Shechem (Ridge). At the Covenant at Shechem, Joshua spoke the following:
Joshua 24:14 “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

To register for the Census, sign up at www.unity153.net and during the entry of “Your Information”, mark the box to register. If you do not mark the box, you are not signed up for the Census. You can then send a coin to Servias Ministries, PO BOX 1471, Bethany, OK 73008. If you do not have a coin and cannot get one, tell us. We will provide you a coin from the Treasury and will assign it to you. Those of you who sent in a coin and did not go to unity153.net, we entered your information on your behalf so that we could properly account for the Census and audit the Treasury of the ransom money.
The Census will be completed in 62 days.
