Jubilee is Coming!!!

The last few months Brad and I have been praying and fasting for our finances.  Since we are in school it has been hard to pay off old debt and keep up with the new costs of attending college. We have really been believing for a fresh start in 2013.  From the beginning of the year our Pastor has been talking about this being the year of Jubilee, the year for debts to be cancelled and people to be set free as it states in the Old Testament.  I never really paid attention to where he said this was located in the Bible and was just taking in what God had told him.  Well today as Brad was on his way to work he was praying and asking God to break the chains of debt. Right after a commercial came on the radio and Greg Laurie (A Famous Pastor) was telling a story of how a lawyer gave a homeless man a very large check to help him get on his feet and the story talked about how the homeless man's debts had been forgiven.

Brad was thrilled and knew God was speaking directly to him. I honestly didn't think much of it. I did think it was cool but I didn't give it a second thought after I read Brads text. Well, I went on with my night and went into worship and prayer.  As I was worshiping the song by Jesus Culture called, "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?" came on my iTunes.  If you do not know the song it says,

Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope and
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice

Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you hear the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen One

Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you hear the singers roar?
When the lost began to sing of
Jesus Christ the saving One

And we can see that God You're moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide You Heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice

Did you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song
And all the streams flow as one river
To wash away our brokeness

And here we see that God You're moving
A time of Jubilee is coming
When young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide You Heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice

Once the song got to the part that said, Dancers who dance upon injustice I danced and sang out things that I wanted freedom from. Freedom from Debt specifically.  Then I continued to sing and worship and I heard it say, "A time of Jubilee is coming." I had never paid attention to this part of the song and was surprised by it! I was excited because this was exactly what our Pastor was talking about for the last two months.  After my prayer and worship time I decided to read my Bible. I have been in Deuteronomy for the last week and could not remember where I had stopped last night.  Come to find out I was on chapter 15 which is titled, "The Year for Canceling Debts."  I was so shocked to see this. This was the exact scripture that Pastor Terry had been talking to us about without ever revealing where it actually was. God was speaking to Brad and I clearly about our financial situation.  I can honestly say after tonight I will not worry again about how we are going to pay for school or even monthly bills. God will take care of it.
