All the time, I see God's people live below the things that God has promised. After all, our God is a supernatural God and Jesus said He left us an inheritance—and it's incorruptible, undefiled and does not fades away. "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you so that always having all sufficiency in all things you may have an abundance for every good deed" (2 Cor. 9:8).
God Wants You to Live in Abundance
If you think of every need that you have, guess what? God wants you to have an abundance in that area. Healing should be a lifestyle. It's great to get healed and we should expect that, but to walk in His health is greater.
Everyone I talk to wants to give and support so many people—like missionaries, etc. They have a desire to bless people; to supply and help with the need of ministries and people who are struggling. Did you also know that God wants you to be deliriously happy? I don't think you would be delirious unless you were living in abundance. So, I want to tell you what God has been talking to me about.
Jubilee
I have seen a lot of words from Christians lately about the year of Jubilee. Most of them are related to a number of years either 25, 50 or 100. Actually, the word "Jubilee" does not particularly have to do with time but with an event or celebration. Being "Jubilant" means: "overjoyed exultant, triumphant, joyful, rejoicing, exuberant, ecstatic, thrilled, gleeful, enraptured and walking on air—seventh Heaven." There are a lot of emotions right in those words.
In the Bible (Old Testament), when THE JUBILEE occurred, it was referring to a time (fifty years) when there was a law of release put into effect. Slaves were set free, debts were forgiven, and lands and property restored. When the year of Jubilee came, of course there was great celebration (Jubilation) just like the words above. Think of all those burdens being lifted from our shoulders. Ecstatic is only one word. People who were bowed over suddenly stood straight. Those burdened by debt were released of the debt. It was indeed very good news.
The Bible says that, "If He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how then shall He not freely and graciously give us all things" (Rom. 8:32).
My friend (Chris Naylor UK) wrote a beautiful song which says, "I look after the sparrow, I look after the tree. I water it and feed it constantly, and if I can take care of them, how much more can I take care of you? You're more precious to Me, than any other thing you see."
I have even better news for you today. There is something better than the fifty year Jubilee—His name is JESUS. He IS our Jubilee. It is not in time, it's in eternity. It is endless, immeasurable, unending and eternal and immortal.
Jesus is Our Jubilee
When we are born, we are all debtors to the flesh, meaning we have our being in this humanity. We are prisoners to it, whether you like it or not. Our own human frailty includes sickness, debt, habit and addictions—there is no way to fight the things around us because we don't have any power to do so (on our own). We are captive to this earthly life until, by one course or another, we meet the Lord Jesus. Suddenly, there was a light that shone into our limited lives and another world began to unroll itself. We met our own personal JUBILLEE because Jesus is our Jubilee.
Remember the things I said about being jubilant? If you understand what Jesus has done (the ultimate Jubilee), you will become jubilant or overcome by Him meaning: "overjoyed, exultant, triumphant, joyful, rejoicing, exuberant, ecstatic, thrilled, gleeful, enraptured, and walking on air—seventh Heaven." This Jubilee is supernatural; it's not contained under the law as it was in the Old Covenant. It has no limit because the One who set you free is limitless.
His very nature is unrestrained—heavenly and not earthbound. It's indescribable and full of glory—immeasurable. His power has no boundaries known unto men. God's infinite riches dwell in Jesus, our Jubilee. He took away the power of death over you—the power of sickness—because He took it to the Cross and paid the price to cancel out the devil's power to stretch forth His hand toward you. He can cancel your debt because He already took your eternal debt. If He can take your eternal punishment, can you not take a lesser debt? If He paid for your eternal death, can He not take care of your temporary sickness? Can He not take care of you bills and your children or your family?
The Bible says, "To as many as received Him to them gave He power to become the children of God" (John 1:12).
Well many receive Jesus as a great teacher or even a prophet. Many Christians receive Him as their Savior and know He saved them from their sins and they will go to Heaven. But He is so much more than that. How have you received Him? Have you received Him as your Jubilee? This is no natural Jubilee...it's a supernatural Jubilee because it came from Heaven and not the earth.
Our Eternal Jubilee
He saved and released you from EVERY earthly bondage: sin, sickness, death, bondage, debts, fear, addiction, lust and destruction. There is nothing that is excluded from this wonderful, eternal Jubilee. This is the question then: How did you receive Him? Is He your Savior and Healer? Is He the Deliverer from addiction and lust? He is all and more...He is the all in all and we are in Him.
All our fountains are in Him; He is our complete source. As the famous hymn-writer says, "Source and fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy praise" (Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing by Robert Robinson).
"In Him we live and move and have our being..." (Acts 17:28).
Jesus the Darling of Heaven
Let me tell you a little more about Him, can I? This is from my book "Jesus the Darling of Heaven". You should read through it at least once a week. This is just a little part of who He is.
"He is our Shield, our Defender, our Rock; our Hiding Place. He saves us and keeps by His power, from sin and death.
"He is our Provider, Counselor, Great Shepherd—our Friend.
"He is closer than a brother—our love. He is the Husbandman; the Keeper of the vineyard. He is the Source of all blessing. He restores, rescues, forgives and redeems. He is our Victor, the Captain of Hosts, He is our Banner, and our Standard. Mighty in battle, He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus is crowned with glory and honor, He is our Savior, Sanctifier, Redeemer; merciful and faithful High Priest. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He was dead, but now He is ALIVE forevermore and He is seated at the right hand of God (seated—it's finished).
"He destroyed death, and led captivity captive. He is the great Apostle of our faith, He is the supreme Sacrifice, the spotless and blameless Lamb. He is our Anchor, our Strong Tower, our Shield, our Defender, and He was the Ancient of Days before the first day began. He is the Door, the Way and the Truth. He is the Treasure, the Pearl of great price; more precious than the finest gold. He was the Rock of Ages before any mountain peaks were formed. He was the Bread of Life, before there was any grain. He was the Lily of the Valley, before there were any flowers on the earth. He makes His enemies His footstools and laughs at His adversaries.
"He came from eternal glory to the depths of humiliation. He abdicated Heaven's throne for a pile of straw in a manger. He sacrificed infinite riches to embrace poverty—to break its power. He bade farewell to Heaven's love to receive men's hatred and shame. He surrendered Heaven's adoration to suffer scorn, and He turned from celestial bliss and life with Cherubim and Seraphim, to die between two thieves on a Cross.
"He is the Tree of Life. He is consecrated forever and makes us sanctified forever, by His precious Blood. He is the Minister of the Sanctuary, He is the Mediator of the New Covenant. He is the High Priest of GOOD THINGS to come, He's the Lion of Judah, and the Lamb who was slain. He is the New and Living Way. Jesus is the Darling of Heaven. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
He is the Holder of the Keys, He is the Amen and He is the Final Word
"He is qualified to open the Book. He is the expression of the heart of the Father. His love has no limits; His grace has no measure. His power has no boundaries known unto men, out of His infinite riches, He gives and gives and gives again. He is the Lily of the Valley the Bright and Morning Star—the fairest of 10,000. He is more precious than gold. He's the Glory and Lifter of our Heads. He is the Righteous Judge. He is a Refuge for the oppressed. He doesn't forget the cry of the humble. He bore our sorrows and our grief. He was despised and rejected of men and now He controls the destiny of the nations.
"The kingdoms of this world are going to become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and forever. He is our Portion and our Inheritance, His garments smell of sweet myrrh and His breath is as sweet apples. He hides us under the shadow of His wings, and keeps us as the apple of His eye. He is our High Tower. He makes the hills shake, the mountains melt and the heavens bow.
"He pulled back the curtain of eternity and stepped out on the stage of time for one brief moment, and then stepped back again into eternity, but in that one bridge moment of time, He sealed the fate of every man and fixed the destiny of every man and woman. He will light my candle, because He is the Light of Life. He is the Branch, and the Root of Jesse.
He is the Great Wave-Maker from Galilee
"He makes the crooked paths straight and the rough places plain. He split history and divided the ages.
"He preserves the faithful; He is the Resurrection and Life. He spoke and framed the world. He makes our way perfect and makes our feet like hinds feet. He causes us to walk in high places.
"He is Hearing to the deaf and Sight to the blind. He is Cleansing to the leper and Strength to the weak. He is Comfort to the oppressed, Hope to the hopeless and Help to the helpless. He is a Brother to the friendless and a Friend to the brotherless, and He is LIFE to the dead. He is infinite, eternal, glorious and full of majesty. He is the Covenant Keeper; keeping covenant with covenant breakers. He is sweeter than all the flowers. He is the lover of our soul and the keeper of our hearts. He is Music to the poet, and Song to the worshiper.
"His name has been whispered by thousands upon thousands of dying soldiers on the battlefields of the ages. His name has been the battle cry of those who fought for righteousness and truth. He is the King of all kings and all rulers and every nation will bow to Him. His name is Jesus!" Excerpt from my book, "Jesus the Darling of Heaven".
