JESUS IS LORD
10) “Then Moses commanded them, “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of remission of debt, during the Feast of Tabernacles, )11) when all Israel comes before the LORD your God at the place He will choose, you are to read this law in the hearing of all Israel.” (Deuteronomy 31:11, BSB)
Released From The Pit
Something in the realm of the spirit is about to break forth. The stirring of the healing mantle is provoked as the Spirit urges me to put out writings of Jesus as Lord. A new season is upon mankind. It is time to rejoice, time for debilitating chronic fear to subside. For what has been spewed up from the evil pit has no power over the people. Like Joseph in the pit, rescue is coming from unknown and unlikely sources. The pit will never have dominion over God’s people. We have already overcome the evil one in the power of the Cross. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalms 147:3, NIV). The enormity of God’s next move has unsettled the realm of evil. ‘Oh dear, I wonder what has irked old Satan?’ There is something big and momentous behind this insidious pneumonic plague that will give God the glory. What is currently taking place is a ferocious backlash of evil. Could it be the 7-fold healing mantle assigned for this season that is tormenting the evil realm?
Blocking spirits that seems to rule over areas of human life will shift as the exponent grace given for this season stirs to expose every hidden agenda assigned against Kingdom progress. This evil will not succeed against the fullness of the New Pentecost power to be unleashed from on high, to assist and complete the end time work. The hearts that are seeking a fresh impetus for change will be rewarded.. The desire to come into the unremitting healing flow for the refreshing that comes from above is Spirit-led. Come with me people – step out of religion and step into the fathomless deep of the Spirit. Step out into the realm of blind faith, into what God has prepared for this dry season. It is unceasing ecstasy, penetrative joy and deep levels of spiritual fulfilment. It is satisfying, healing and restoring after the long fight. Jesus is Lord over the pits of evil and the spoils from the victorious outcome will not be disappointing.
Ceremonially Unclean
The legality of the Jewish law under the Old Covenant required the priest to certify the people deemed ‘unclean’ with their distressing and incurable maladies. They were certified condemned and turned away outside the city wall. The Old Mosaic Covenant, although it served its purpose in its time was inadequate and not intended as the ‘be all and end all’ of the righteous works of the people. An eternal, greater, more glorious and superior blood Covenant in Jesus our Lord would supersede what had become obsolete in the passage of time, The Spirit of Healing, the embodiment of Jesus, came robed in His eternal mantle as Deliverer of the people. He was heaven’s Great High Priest simultaneously a Prophet sent by God and mankind’s Healer..
Faith In Action
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.‘ (Hebrews 11:6,BSB). The intangible substance of faith is the conduit to draw on the divine power of our Lord. The woman afflicted with the issue of blood for 12 years had spent all her money on medical expenses. She consciously decided to exercise her faith when she made her way to Jesus, It would have been a last resort for healing of this woman, physically weak from losing her life flow of blood. Divine faith caused her to press through her personal struggles, through the crowd thronging Jesus to draw on the anointing. Being in His presence is releasing, captivating and healing as virtue flows from our Lord to the seeker.. All spiritual inhibitions are cast to the wind as the power breaks the fetters and heavy chains keeping bound the sick soul. Touching the hem of Jesus’ garment was all that mattered to the seeker. “She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.” )Matthew 9:21, BSB).
it was not legally permissible that she should join the throng and press her way to Jesus. But faith is a strong conviction that God is able to do exceedingly over and above what we are desiring. Further, it is an abiding assurance that Jesus is the Eternal One with all power to supply our needs. Yet, according to (Hebrews 11:1) there is no tangible evidence that one’s needs can be met. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (KJV). Faith goes beyond our human reasoning and understanding. Faith draws from the eternal source of divine virtue and one is borne up by the Spirit. The source of our help is in Jesus alone who has all powers to deliver the people from their afflictions. Divine faith enables one to launch into the eternal realm where the intangibility of faith is actually the only spiritual substance made available to us. God works from our total dependency upon Him to bring about our healing and to supply our needs. It is therefore impossible to please God without faith..
The Spirit of Release
(13) “When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses, (14) having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! (15) And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Colossians 2:13-15, BSB)
The Spirit of Release is Jesus. We can be released from every form of captivity known to man. Yes, that is the power of Jesus as Lord. Jesus is Lord over the realm of evil. His time in the grave and hell after His death was to exert His power over evil. He is Lord to redeem the fallen, sick and thirsty soul. The defiance engineered by demonic forces to appose the advancement of God’s kingdom in these turbulent times will be destroyed by the superior power of righteousness.
The Spirit of Release, an end time 7-fold flow is about to be executed as we enter the 7th Sabbatical Year of Shmita (Rosh Hashanah 5782), “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.” (Deuteronomy 15:1, BSB). The debt of mankind’s sins was cancelled at Calvary. In turn it is time for everyone to forgive and release others. Release your pain and release yourselves from personal guilt as you forgive yourself too.
