It is important to understand what the god of this world is up to since we are in a major spiritual war at this time. The adversary can observe what is currently happening among the remnant. In an attempt to bring forth a counterfeit awakening, the adversary is moving upon his enslaved to design and promote an alternative universe which will emulate reality and keep those who submit to it living the ultimate lie in their mindset. It is a spiritual war of Truth versus the counterfeit. We are in the Life-giving business also known as Jubilee.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:
16 I refuse to be ashamed of the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere! 17 This Gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And It moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says:
“We are right with God through life-giving faith!”
We should expect to see justice and judgment come forth to the nations in the coming months. Justice will set the captives free whereas judgment will reveal the estranged mindset of those who seek the counterfeit lifestyle found in darkness.
18 For God in Heaven unveils His Holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the Truth and keeps people from acknowledging the Truth about God.
19 In reality, the Truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. 20 Opposition to Truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s Nature have been made visible, such as His Eternal Power and Transcendence. HE has made HIS wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.
As we walk in Jubilee, we are able to be a testimony to those without excuse. The light we exhibit shines forth and further accentuates their opposition and causes an accounting of their opposition. This is intended to bring forth repentance which is one aspect of jubilee.
21 Throughout human history the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honor him as God or even be thankful for his kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like. This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness. 22 Although claiming to be wise, they were in fact shallow fools. 23 For only a fool would trade the unfading splendor of the immortal God to worship the fading image of other humans, idols made to look like people, animals, birds, and even creeping reptiles!
24 This is why God lifted off his restraining hand and let them have full expression of their sinful and shameful desires. They were given over to moral depravity, dishonoring their bodies by sexual perversion among themselves— 25 all because they traded the truth of God for a lie. They worshiped and served the things God made rather than the God who made all things—glory and praises to HIM forever and ever! Amen!
26–27 For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions. Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation.
28 And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct. 29 Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips 30 who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothing more than arrogant boasters. They are rebels against their parents and totally immoral.
31 They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless. 32 Although they are fully aware of God’s laws and proper order, and knowing that those who do all of these things deserve to die, yet they still go headlong into darkness, encouraging others to do the same and applauding them when they do! (The Passion Translation)
Do not be ignorant of the devil’s devices for he seeks to totally enslave those with misguided hearts.
FATHER’S Truth, Love, justice, and judgment are greater than any misguided heart and we are to expose those hearts by walking in Love even though It may seem correctional and harsh at times. Truth exposes both justice and judgment, depending on whether you are innocent or guilty. Judgment’s end result is to ultimately bring forth jubilee in your life by exposing and eliminating your sin.
Jubilee may include you paying restitution in some form before experiencing full release so embrace it rather than resist it. The quicker you repent, the sooner restitution will end. Let the Word cleanse your conscience by the renewal of your mind. Jubilee of the mind brings forth peace and allows you to deal with the issues in life without the anxiety you once walked in. Your mindset begins to see the emptiness of what the world has to offer and your soulish cravings begin to disappear, one aspect of Jubilee.
You cannot experience jubilee unless you expose and acknowledge what is keeping you from this liberating Truth. Jesus came to see the captives free and so should you and I do the same… even if it isn’t politically correct. Sin is unacceptable no matter what universe you seek to live in.
