God Works in Seasons                June 15, 2011

God has always worked in seasons…
(Ecclesiastes 3:1)  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

There was a season without sin on the earth…Where man had dominion…
(Genesis 1:27)  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
(Genesis 1:28)  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

There was a season when the children of Abraham were in bondage which lasted for 400 years before their freedom…

There was a season when it did not rain on the earth…

There was a season for the flood…

There were seasons of famine…

There were seasons of war and seasons of peace…

There was a season for the old dispensation and a season for the new one…

When God gets ready to do something…He reveals it to his people in advance…
(Amos 3:7)  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

For example when he was going to use Joseph to deliver his people, he gave dreams 20 years before the fact…

When Paul needed deliverance from the blindness…God spoke to him, sending him to a certain man (Ananias) in a certain place (Strait St.)…Revealed by God in advance…
(Acts 9:11)  And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

Now God is speaking to his prophets again…
It is Breakthrough time…Breakthrough Season…

(2 Chronicles 20:20b)   Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

The breakthrough has begun…We are in the last days….God is pouring out His Spirit…
(Joel 2:28)  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
(Acts 2:17)  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
(Acts 2:18)  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

(Proverbs 1:23)  Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Maybe we're not in the very last day…But the last days…Definitely…
(Mark 13:7)  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

God is busy redeeming his servants…
(Psalms 34:22)  The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

He will never leave his servants or forsake them…
(Hebrews 13:5)  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

In this season, God is doing a new thing…  He paid the price for our salvation…And for renewing our dominion…He is giving us a new anointing…
(Luke 4:18)  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

In the Old Testament, there was a season called Jubilee season. At the sixth year, each time, "mysteriously" there would be a double harvest come in…Then the seventh year was a year of rest…After there had been seven of those seasons, the whole year would be called a Jubilee.  It was a year of rest.  It was a year when all debts were forgiven.  Slaves were set free.  All kinds of things happened…
It is a type a shadow of what God is doing with us today since Jesus redeemed us with his blood shed on Calvary…Now we are freed from slavery or bondages.  Our debts are forgiven… there were many glorious blessings during that season…  God uses this to help us understand just what he has done for us...And what our rights are now…

The year of jubilee was a Jewish festival…
Our time of dominion bought back by Jesus on Calvary is also called Jubilee or the acceptable year of the Lord…
 (Luke 4:19)  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Acceptable year means—a set season; a fixed time for festival...
