Weekly Watch Focus: Jubilee Fast Week 2—Debt Free Blessing

FRIDAY, Sept. 12, We are in a season of humbling ourselves before the Lord in prayer, repentance, and fasting, ushering in a season of Jubilee-blessing. September 24-26 is Rosh Hashanah that leads us into the Jewish New Year, a Sabbath year. We are praying God will heal our land (2 Chron. 7:14). This week we are asking the Lord to especially heal our economy, and release His special grace to help every family and church, and our nation to become debt free. That was an especial aspect of the season of Jubilee. Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of debt (Gal. 3:13,14; Deut. 28:15). We have 92 million Americans who are without jobs and our national economy is $17 trillion in debt. May the Lord give us a turn-around.

We also intercede for our soldiers and for the armed forces of our allies that are endeavoring to defeat the I.S.I.S., the radical Islamic terrorist army in Irag and Syria. Pray also for the new government in Iraq. Bind every satanic plan for acts of terror against the U.S. and its allies by the evil, radical, Islamic terror groups in the coming days. May God shield us from all acts of terror. Let us also give thanks for the wonderful, divine protection that God gave to Israel in the recent war with Hamas, when 4,000 rockets rained down over the civilian population of Israel. Even the secular press in Israel is acknowledging the many acts of divine intervention over the last few months. 

Lev. 25:8-12, “And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.

Duet. 15:1-23, “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the Lord’s release. Of a foreigner you may require it; but you shall give up your claim to what is owed by your brother, except when there may be no poor among you; for the Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance— only if you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today. For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.”

Prov. 22:7, The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.

Psalm 37:25, “I have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.”

Deut. 8:18, "And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day."

Phil. 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Ps. 9:1-4; Eph. 6:10-18; Matt. 18:18.
