Rights restored

Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

Have you ever had your rights violated and needed them restored? The children of Israel went from bondage to freedom but their property and goods were still being held up. Has that happened to you? It has happened to me several times, you work so hard to gain things in your life, things that you hold dear to your heart, then one day to have them stolen away right from under you.

This did not come as a surprise to the Lord although it may have caught the children of Israel as well as you and I off guard. God always has a ram in the bush as he did for Abraham. This year could very well be your year of jubilee, the year of restoration of your family, business, finances, relationships etc. Just recently

the President signed a bill to pass the "second chance act "law which allows ex-offender the opportunity to have their rights restored and start over fresh. For years it has been way too hard for an ex-offender to start over after being incarcerated, once you have paid the penalty of incarceration the slat should be wiped clean given you the same opportunity as any other citizen of the united Sates. God gave us a solution for this problem in Leviticus, he gave us a reprieve to have our rights restored, extending to us the Grace to start over.

As you reflect on what has been stolen from you or held up remember the word tells us that once we catch the thief he has to pay back seven times what he stole. Its time for him to pay up, your jubilee is going to be filled with seven times more love, joy, peace and prosperity.

Be encouraged.
