AMNESTY - What a wonderful word.

By -

I shamelessly stole this post today from Steve Youngblood's Face book page, because I wanted to share it with you... this is a great confirmation to my earlier post Forgive Everyone Everything. 

I don't think that Steve is aware of Shemitah or that next year is the biblical Jubilee. But his post falls right into the current word for this time, forgive and be forgiven. Prepare for Jubilee, put your house in order. 

Amnesty - What a wonderful word.
Definition: forgiveness, broad-based forgiveness to a person or a group of persons of all crimes or offenses.
It's freedom, a new beginning. Those who have been ostracized from a community, are released from judgments and allowed to go home or re-enter that society.
God granted Amnesty to us when we repented of our sin. We were not required to "do the time", Christ did it for us. It granted free entrance into His Kingdom and family.
The Lord's prayer says..."forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtor's..." or "grant us amnesty as we grant amnesty to others."
Amnesty is the doorway into the Kingdom and the doorway to relationships. We all came through that door. Let's grant amnesty to others.

Fear, anger, self-righteousness, pride, and selfishness will never grant amnesty. Only humility, courage, kindness, wisdom and love will release and embrace.
Two things mark the human's highest moral achievement. The first is to admit when we are wrong, second is to forgive and restore when we are offended. These are the most God-like things we can do. 

Give it a try, I have...  what's there to lose? 
You are free from my judgments... please free me from yours.

Steve Youngblood

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
