00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:06.017
Welcome back to the Diary of the Black Woman podcast series,

00:00:06.737 --> 00:00:12.857
2025, the year of divine surprises and jubilee blessings.

00:00:13.297 --> 00:00:17.377
I'm going to call this one part one. I'm your host, Connie Morris,

00:00:17.457 --> 00:00:22.517
and I'm thrilled to embark on this journey with you as we explore the profound

00:00:22.517 --> 00:00:27.597
themes and promises that 2025 holds for us.

00:00:27.597 --> 00:00:29.517
Hope you heard the introduction.

00:00:29.977 --> 00:00:35.117
Hope that got you stirred up. Hope you have your pencil and paper.

00:00:35.337 --> 00:00:43.557
And I hope you had an opportunity to download a copy of the devotional for this series.

00:00:43.897 --> 00:00:47.337
It's a lot in there and I don't have time to go to e-scripture,

00:00:47.477 --> 00:00:52.117
but I want to get you stirred up what God has in store for you.

00:00:52.117 --> 00:00:56.877
Not even just stirred up, just a set of foundation so that you can have your

00:00:56.877 --> 00:01:02.637
expectations ready for what God has for you in 2025.

00:01:03.297 --> 00:01:08.437
And so we're going to explore this. So as we step into 2025,

00:01:09.057 --> 00:01:15.757
we are entering a year that has been prophetically declared as a time for.

00:01:17.977 --> 00:01:23.037
Extraordinary breakthroughs, restoration, and unexpected blessings.

00:01:23.737 --> 00:01:28.397
If you haven't stood up and shouted for this, I want you to stand up right now.

00:01:28.557 --> 00:01:30.397
You have to do things in faith.

00:01:30.577 --> 00:01:35.897
So if your life in 2024 has been jacked up, I need you to jump up right now

00:01:35.897 --> 00:01:41.837
and just declare that 2025 would be a year of extraordinary breakthrough,

00:01:42.417 --> 00:01:45.257
restoration, and unexpected blessing.

00:01:45.757 --> 00:01:53.397
This year is marked by two profound themes, divine surprises and jubilee blessings.

00:01:53.637 --> 00:01:57.397
Now, this is your jubilee. We'll get into that probably in part three.

00:01:57.617 --> 00:02:04.337
But right now, I want you to understand that this is your year of extraordinary breakthroughs.

00:02:04.457 --> 00:02:08.917
I mean, extraordinary breakthroughs, restoration. Where in your life do you

00:02:08.917 --> 00:02:14.657
see some things need to be restored and unexpected blessings like getting a

00:02:14.657 --> 00:02:16.817
package, a gift from God.

00:02:17.854 --> 00:02:22.414
You don't even know you were getting it, right? Answer prayer when you didn't expect it, right?

00:02:22.694 --> 00:02:25.934
So this year is marked by divine surprise and jubilee blessing.

00:02:26.514 --> 00:02:35.054
But what do these mean? And how can we prepare our hearts to receive all that God has in store for us?

00:02:35.114 --> 00:02:40.294
So let's start by understanding the concept of divine surprises.

00:02:40.594 --> 00:02:44.834
When God showed me that, I thought that was so, you know, when he says it's

00:02:44.834 --> 00:02:51.614
a year of divine surprises. It says a year of surprises, and then it's a year of divine surprises.

00:02:52.234 --> 00:02:55.314
So that means that God has something in store for you.

00:02:55.494 --> 00:02:58.914
He has a gift wrapped up with your name on it.

00:02:59.094 --> 00:03:03.494
The idea here is that God's ways are higher than our ways.

00:03:03.654 --> 00:03:09.034
He delights in doing the unexpected to bring glory to his name.

00:03:09.054 --> 00:03:10.754
So it's really not about you.

00:03:10.934 --> 00:03:14.974
It's about bringing glory to his name. because when we get a gift from God,

00:03:15.234 --> 00:03:21.474
we're going to just jump around and give God the praise because we know only he could have done that.

00:03:21.774 --> 00:03:26.734
Only he was the one that was in that prayer closet when we were praying and crying out to him.

00:03:27.134 --> 00:03:32.134
Only he knows our hearts and our desires. So when we get that divine surprise,

00:03:32.414 --> 00:03:37.714
we know it only had to come from God because he's the only one that knows.

00:03:38.394 --> 00:03:41.674
Amen. So he's the only one that's going to get the glory.

00:03:41.914 --> 00:03:49.374
So that means that in 2025, we should be ready to witness God's hand moving

00:03:49.374 --> 00:03:53.594
in the ways that exceeds our human imagination.

00:03:53.814 --> 00:03:58.634
And what that just showed me is that don't you put God in the box in 2025?

00:03:59.354 --> 00:04:04.414
You better take him out the box. And then when something happens, don't you question it.

00:04:04.554 --> 00:04:07.094
You just better give God the praise right away. You're like,

00:04:07.274 --> 00:04:09.714
what? That just happened? Oh, I'm just jumping up and down.

00:04:10.034 --> 00:04:12.574
When you open your bank account, there's more than enough in there.

00:04:12.734 --> 00:04:14.254
Boom. Don't question it.

00:04:14.694 --> 00:04:18.274
Check the bank. Say, hey, this is all mine. They go, yep. Dang, it's yours.

00:04:19.594 --> 00:04:25.754
Hallelujah. One of the key scriptures that encapsulates the theme is Isaiah

00:04:25.754 --> 00:04:28.914
43, 19. That should be on your wall, your refrigerator.

00:04:29.854 --> 00:04:34.514
I was going to say your stove, but don't put nothing on your stove. In your bathroom.

00:04:35.355 --> 00:04:38.775
Which says, it says, see, I am doing a new thing.

00:04:39.055 --> 00:04:43.135
It says, see, I mean, I want you to look at it, see that I'm doing a new thing.

00:04:43.235 --> 00:04:47.315
So something's going to happen in 2025 that's going to affect what we see.

00:04:47.675 --> 00:04:53.775
So see, I'm doing a new thing. See, look, see, I'm doing a new thing. Now it springs forth.

00:04:54.155 --> 00:04:59.615
Do you not perceive it? So you're going to have to see it and you're going to have to perceive it.

00:05:00.055 --> 00:05:04.255
See it with your spiritual eyes first, perceive it with your spiritual eyes,

00:05:04.255 --> 00:05:06.675
and it's going to manifest in the natural.

00:05:06.915 --> 00:05:11.815
I am making a way in the wilderness and the streams in the wasteland.

00:05:11.995 --> 00:05:17.955
This verse reminds us that God specializes in bringing surprises in dry and

00:05:17.955 --> 00:05:23.395
barren places, turning our wilderness into a place of abundance.

00:05:23.815 --> 00:05:29.615
Another powerful scripture is Ephesians 3 20, which states now to him who is

00:05:29.615 --> 00:05:37.355
able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine according to his power

00:05:37.355 --> 00:05:39.475
that is at work within us.

00:05:39.595 --> 00:05:45.815
This verse encourages us to believe that God's surprises will exceed anything

00:05:45.815 --> 00:05:49.355
that we can think or imagine.

00:05:49.495 --> 00:05:53.995
Look how he's working this year, this season, 2025.

00:05:54.335 --> 00:05:58.575
He's telling us to see. He's telling us to perceive.

00:05:58.935 --> 00:06:05.635
He's telling us to think, come on, beyond our thinking, beyond our imagination.

00:06:05.815 --> 00:06:12.655
So all our senses are going to be really stimulated this year from seeing what

00:06:12.655 --> 00:06:16.615
God can do, being exposed to what God can do.

00:06:16.815 --> 00:06:19.255
Now let's talk about this Jubilee blessing.

00:06:19.799 --> 00:06:25.799
The concept of Jubilee is rooted in Leviticus 25.10, where God instituted a

00:06:25.799 --> 00:06:29.679
year of liberty and restoration for his people.

00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.119
Now, you know, I'm all stirred up because I get the message first, right?

00:06:33.299 --> 00:06:36.279
So I'm already ahead of you.

00:06:36.499 --> 00:06:40.339
You know how when you can't run and someone gives you a head start,

00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:42.239
I'm already at the finish.

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.719
I'm not at the finish line yet because it's not even 2026 yet.

00:06:46.719 --> 00:06:51.619
But let's say I'm already running out front with this. OK, so I'm already a head start.

00:06:51.799 --> 00:06:57.019
I've already prayed for you to be already get this message and just catch up.

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.979
Let's say that. Let's just say catch up. So when we talk about Jubilee blessing,

00:07:01.179 --> 00:07:05.139
this is a big deal for God because God is a God of reset.

00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.959
And so when he put in Leviticus, so if you haven't really read Leviticus,

00:07:09.379 --> 00:07:11.339
maybe that might be your thing for 2025.

00:07:12.419 --> 00:07:16.319
Doing a new thing, read Leviticus, because that's where the laws are set up.

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.939
And it tells you here in Leviticus 25, 10, where God instituted a year,

00:07:22.039 --> 00:07:29.099
a year of liberty, not a day, not an hour, not a second, but a year of liberty

00:07:29.099 --> 00:07:30.979
and restoration for his people.

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.599
You know how much stuff we can get done in a year, y'all?

00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.959
Come on now. It's been a long time since we had that COVID thing happen.

00:07:39.159 --> 00:07:43.619
So that's four years. But what can God do in a year in your life?

00:07:43.619 --> 00:07:49.259
A year of liberty, a year of restoration for his people.

00:07:49.499 --> 00:07:56.739
It was a time when debt was canceled, were canceled, debt were canceled,

00:07:57.159 --> 00:08:00.999
property was restored, captives set free.

00:08:01.619 --> 00:08:07.759
Jubilee represents God's heart for restoration and freedom, a time of returning

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.159
to what was lost and experience his favor and abundance.

00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:16.519
I like to think of this as heaven on earth.

00:08:16.719 --> 00:08:20.939
He says a year of liberty, a year of freedom.

00:08:21.739 --> 00:08:27.359
Once you get this message, you better start praying for your freedom.

00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:32.859
What are you expecting God to do in this year? It starts today.

00:08:33.579 --> 00:08:37.999
Matter of fact, it started for me in December. Ready? Let's go.

00:08:38.859 --> 00:08:45.639
Let's go. It says this Leviticus represents, I like to think of his reset.

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:49.839
It's a year where he says everybody equal.

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:57.839
Oh, justice is meaning to make right. So this is a year where he's making things right.

00:08:59.031 --> 00:09:04.111
He's making things right. Let's go. Isaiah 61 verses one through two.

00:09:04.471 --> 00:09:11.191
We see a beautiful depiction of Jubilee. The spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me.

00:09:11.471 --> 00:09:14.471
Say that the spirit of the Lord is upon me.

00:09:15.091 --> 00:09:19.931
The Lord has anointed me. Say that he has anointed me to proclaim the good news

00:09:19.931 --> 00:09:21.531
to the poor. I mean, you got to get out.

00:09:21.831 --> 00:09:24.071
How are you going to proclaim the good news to the poor if you poor?

00:09:25.411 --> 00:09:29.731
Oh, yes. So I mean, you ain't going to be poor no more. So you're going to have

00:09:29.731 --> 00:09:31.871
some money to give to the poor.

00:09:32.011 --> 00:09:34.711
He has set you to bind up the brokenhearted.

00:09:34.951 --> 00:09:40.251
Why? Because he's going to heal your brokenhearted so you can go heal somebody else's broken heart.

00:09:40.491 --> 00:09:47.051
To proclaim freedom for the captives and release darkness from the prisoners. Why?

00:09:47.231 --> 00:09:52.631
Because you are going to be free. And who the son has set free is free indeed.

00:09:52.891 --> 00:09:58.171
And so you can go out and free some people too. Amen. Amen.

00:09:59.711 --> 00:10:02.391
Amen. Come on now.

00:10:04.011 --> 00:10:11.251
Amen, amen, amen. I told you I was running already ahead. I'm already ahead of you.

00:10:11.411 --> 00:10:14.171
I'm already celebrating. Let's continue.

00:10:14.431 --> 00:10:19.731
This passage ties directly to the year of Jubilee in God's favor,

00:10:19.971 --> 00:10:22.231
emphasizing restoration.

00:10:22.951 --> 00:10:28.671
God's restore us and freedom. Restoration and freedom.

00:10:29.031 --> 00:10:32.611
What would it feel like, y'all, to be free?

00:10:33.211 --> 00:10:38.431
What would it feel like to be free? What would it feel like to be restored?

00:10:39.011 --> 00:10:46.751
Get up now. Do your happy dance because this is your time to feel like you are free. You are restored.

00:10:46.951 --> 00:10:51.051
Why? Because the anointing of the Lord is upon you.

00:10:51.831 --> 00:10:57.771
Receive it now in Jesus' name. So as we align our hearts with God's word and

00:10:57.771 --> 00:11:05.651
trust in his promises, we will witness the fulfillment of his divine plan in our lives.

00:11:06.091 --> 00:11:13.451
2025 is a year to proclaim liberty. Say, I am free. I am free. I am free.

00:11:13.831 --> 00:11:20.191
Embrace restoration and celebrate God's goodness with joy and thanksgiving.

00:11:20.191 --> 00:11:26.151
So as we embark on this journey together, let's prepare our hearts to experience

00:11:26.151 --> 00:11:29.591
his surpassing greatness.

00:11:29.951 --> 00:11:36.431
I think there's a song that let's experience our heart to experience how great God is.

00:11:37.156 --> 00:11:42.036
We hear about it, we read about it, but this is a year where we will experience

00:11:42.036 --> 00:11:48.616
how great God is and receive the fullness of the Jubilee blessing.

00:11:48.876 --> 00:11:58.836
So let us declare boldly, this is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.

00:11:58.996 --> 00:12:06.136
That's from Psalms 118, verse 20, 23. So we will boast on the Lord by saying,

00:12:06.296 --> 00:12:13.116
this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

00:12:13.276 --> 00:12:17.276
I want to continue on to the next part of this.

00:12:17.876 --> 00:12:20.116
I am warmed up. Are you warmed up?

00:12:21.596 --> 00:12:24.896
So let's go. This is our first segment. The second segment,

00:12:25.056 --> 00:12:31.716
I want to just continue and go deeper into the foundation of Jubilee and how

00:12:31.716 --> 00:12:37.476
we can position ourselves to receive these blessings.

00:12:37.656 --> 00:12:45.576
The concept of Jubilee is deeply rooted in the Bible, specifically in Leviticus 25.10, which says,

00:12:45.876 --> 00:12:53.396
consecrate the 50th year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants.

00:12:54.156 --> 00:13:00.276
It should be a Jubilee for you. each of you is to return to your family property

00:13:00.276 --> 00:13:05.856
and your own, return to your family property in your own clan.

00:13:06.016 --> 00:13:08.856
So go back to your property, go back to your own family.

00:13:09.056 --> 00:13:13.676
This verse highlights three key aspects, aspects of the Jubilee,

00:13:13.976 --> 00:13:19.916
liberty, restoration, and returning to what, and returning what was lost.

00:13:20.056 --> 00:13:25.036
Once again, liberty, restoration, and returning what was lost.

00:13:25.796 --> 00:13:30.976
First, let's talk about liberty. Jubilee is a time when debt are forgiven and

00:13:30.976 --> 00:13:33.516
captors are set free. What?

00:13:33.896 --> 00:13:41.676
Debt are forgiven and captors are set free. It's a season of liberation, a season.

00:13:43.096 --> 00:13:48.816
I live in Nebraska and we have seasons. And so winter, spring, summer, fall.

00:13:48.956 --> 00:13:51.296
So this is, We talk about a year of jubilee.

00:13:51.516 --> 00:13:56.796
We're talking about seasonal liberation from anything that God has held,

00:13:57.036 --> 00:14:01.596
anything that was held back or kept us in bondage.

00:14:01.716 --> 00:14:03.836
This is a season of freedom, y'all.

00:14:04.376 --> 00:14:10.316
No, let's do it. And Isaiah 61 to read the spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon

00:14:10.316 --> 00:14:16.996
me because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor.

00:14:17.816 --> 00:14:22.316
He has sent me to bind the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom to the captives,

00:14:22.436 --> 00:14:29.016
and release from the darkness for the prisoners to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

00:14:29.766 --> 00:14:32.546
When you have favor, you don't need money. Come on now.

00:14:32.766 --> 00:14:38.446
You got the Lord's favor upon you. This passage beautifully ties to the theme

00:14:38.446 --> 00:14:42.246
of Jubilee, emphasizing freedom and God's favor.

00:14:42.506 --> 00:14:46.926
So we're talking about the year of Jubilee, the year of Jubilee,

00:14:47.106 --> 00:14:49.806
Jubilee, Jubilee, say it, say it, say it, say it.

00:14:50.046 --> 00:14:56.066
Liberty, restoration, and returning what was lost, freedom and God's favor.

00:14:56.406 --> 00:14:57.846
Next, we have restoration.

00:14:58.626 --> 00:15:04.446
Jubilee is a time for returning to what was lost and experiencing God's abundant

00:15:04.446 --> 00:15:06.866
provision. Let's add to this list here.

00:15:08.006 --> 00:15:15.166
Liberty, restoration, returning what was lost, freedom, God's favor, and restoration.

00:15:15.926 --> 00:15:21.226
Jubilee is a time returning what was lost, experiencing God's abundance and provision.

00:15:21.466 --> 00:15:28.746
I love this scripture. In Joel 2, 25 to 26, God promises, listen,

00:15:28.926 --> 00:15:34.626
listen, I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.

00:15:34.766 --> 00:15:39.546
The great locusts, the young locusts, the other locusts, we ain't got time to

00:15:39.546 --> 00:15:42.646
name them all, the other locusts and the locust swarm.

00:15:42.926 --> 00:15:48.746
My great army that I sent you, you will have plenty to eat until you are full.

00:15:48.746 --> 00:15:52.586
And you will praise the name of the Lord, your God.

00:15:53.266 --> 00:15:59.126
Wow. He says, I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.

00:15:59.546 --> 00:16:04.346
And then it ends. It says, you will, because there must have been a time that

00:16:04.346 --> 00:16:06.926
there was famine because the locusts ate everything.

00:16:07.166 --> 00:16:10.526
But then he says, I'm going to repay you for what the locusts have eaten.

00:16:10.706 --> 00:16:14.486
And he began to list all what the locusts, you know, the layers of locusts that

00:16:14.486 --> 00:16:19.866
was eating up everything. And then he says, you will have plenty to eat.

00:16:20.791 --> 00:16:26.731
You will have plenty to eat until you are full and you will praise the name

00:16:26.731 --> 00:16:30.191
of the Lord your God who has worked wonders for you.

00:16:30.531 --> 00:16:37.191
And he says this, never again will my people be shamed.

00:16:37.371 --> 00:16:39.051
Are you God's people?

00:16:39.471 --> 00:16:42.191
Have you been shamed in your life?

00:16:42.671 --> 00:16:47.471
God says that won't happen no more. He says you're going to eat to you full

00:16:47.471 --> 00:16:50.051
and you won't ever be shamed.

00:16:50.791 --> 00:16:57.011
I think of being embarrassed, not having enough, having to explain your way out of stuff.

00:16:57.391 --> 00:17:00.391
Come on now. God said that's not going to happen anymore.

00:17:00.851 --> 00:17:06.931
This verse assures us that God will restore what has been taken or lost,

00:17:07.331 --> 00:17:10.591
filling our lives with abundance and joy.

00:17:11.071 --> 00:17:16.771
This list is getting long for this Jubilee year. We got liberty, restoration.

00:17:17.231 --> 00:17:21.491
We got returning what was lost. We got freedom and favor.

00:17:21.751 --> 00:17:26.991
We got abundance and provision.

00:17:27.591 --> 00:17:30.211
We got abundance and joy.

00:17:31.471 --> 00:17:33.531
We got no more shame.

00:17:34.636 --> 00:17:38.956
And finally, jubilee is about returning to God's promises.

00:17:39.736 --> 00:17:45.396
It's a time to reclaim your inheritance and walk in the fullness of his blessings.

00:17:45.676 --> 00:17:51.576
In Luke 4, 18 and 19, Jesus declared that the spirit of the Lord is on me,

00:17:51.936 --> 00:17:56.776
upon me, because he's anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor.

00:17:57.016 --> 00:18:02.256
He has sent me to proclaim freedom from the prisoners and recovery of sight

00:18:02.256 --> 00:18:06.896
for the blind and set the oppressed free to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

00:18:07.096 --> 00:18:13.536
So we're looking at this is Jesus saying, this is what I am doing in the year of 2025.

00:18:14.436 --> 00:18:18.136
Look for me in 2025.

00:18:18.936 --> 00:18:24.376
Look for me to do great things in your life.

00:18:24.596 --> 00:18:30.356
Look for me. Look for me, Jesus says. Look for me. Look for me.

00:18:30.916 --> 00:18:34.816
Look for me. Jesus himself emphasized the importance of Jubilee,

00:18:34.976 --> 00:18:38.276
highlighting freedom, restoration, and God's favor.

00:18:38.456 --> 00:18:45.676
So how can we put ourselves in a position to receive the Jubilee blessings in 2025?

00:18:46.296 --> 00:18:50.656
I hope you've been taking notes and making the list and checking it twice.

00:18:51.176 --> 00:18:54.756
Number one, walk in faith and obedience.

00:18:54.996 --> 00:19:02.836
Just as the Israelites had to trust and obey God's instruction to experience

00:19:02.836 --> 00:19:08.956
jubilee, we must align our lives with the word and follow his guidance.

00:19:09.176 --> 00:19:15.296
Trust that his plans for you are good and that he will lead you into a season

00:19:15.296 --> 00:19:17.136
of abundance and restoration.

00:19:17.296 --> 00:19:21.296
So we have to walk in faith and obedience.

00:19:22.159 --> 00:19:29.159
Number two, proclaim liberty. Proclaim is you shout it from the rooftop. You shout freedom.

00:19:29.659 --> 00:19:32.699
Speak freedom over every area of your life.

00:19:32.899 --> 00:19:38.859
Declare that you are free from debt, free from fear, free from any form of bondage.

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:48.819
Embrace the liberty that the Jubilee brings and walk confidently in God's promise.

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:55.299
So proclaim it and then embrace it and be confident in it. Amen.

00:19:55.979 --> 00:20:01.679
And then embrace restoration. Believe that God will restore what has been broken

00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:06.859
or taken from you, whether it's relationship, finances, or opportunities.

00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:12.919
Trust that he will repay you for the years of hardship and fill your life with

00:20:12.919 --> 00:20:14.699
his abundant blessings.

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.959
So how do we receive these Jubilee blessings in 2025?

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:27.079
Remember, things are not automatic. God says that this is what I want to do, but put your ears up.

00:20:27.219 --> 00:20:29.419
You got to walk in faith and obedience.

00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.619
You have to trust and obey. That hasn't changed.

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:39.979
Faith without works is dead, and God wants you to walk in faith and obedience.

00:20:40.739 --> 00:20:46.459
Be led, trust in his plans for you, that they are good, and he will lead you

00:20:46.459 --> 00:20:49.159
into a season of abundance and restoration.

00:20:49.899 --> 00:20:55.919
Proclaim liberty. Speak freedom over every area of your life.

00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.819
So wake up in the morning, just begin to speak freedom.

00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:05.239
Declare that you are free from debt, fear, and any other form of bondage.

00:21:06.419 --> 00:21:11.379
Embrace the liberty that Jubilee brings, and walk confidently in God's promises.

00:21:11.859 --> 00:21:16.299
Embrace restoration. Believe that God will restore what he has lost,

00:21:16.499 --> 00:21:22.239
what has been lost or taken from you, whether relationship, finances, or opportunities.

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:29.579
Trust that he will repay you for the years of hardship and fill your life with his abundant blessing.

00:21:29.819 --> 00:21:32.839
So God is a great payback, right?

00:21:33.239 --> 00:21:38.619
2025, the year of divine surprises and jubilee blessings.

00:21:39.822 --> 00:21:46.042
So as we prepare for our hearts for 2025, let's remember that Jubilee is a time,

00:21:46.222 --> 00:21:49.942
extraordinary breakthrough, restoration, and unexpected blessings.

00:21:50.302 --> 00:21:56.102
Let us stand in faith, proclaim liberty, and embrace the fullness of God's promises.

00:21:56.422 --> 00:22:00.082
