Good morning, friends. I want to thank God for Apostle Herald and the blessings we've received from this ministry. Honor is more than respect—it's a powerful spiritual force, and we need to honor one another and the gifts God has given us.
This morning, I want to minister to you about set times—the Lord's appointed seasons. The Bible tells us that God established specific feasts and set times for His people to experience supernatural blessings, favor, and outpourings of rain and harvest.
In the Old Testament, God established set times for Israel to celebrate feasts three times a year. During these times, special blessings and favors would be poured out upon the people. God said, "These are my feasts"—He Himself established them.
Just as God appointed these times for Israel, I believe He has set and scheduled special times in your life and in our lives as the body of Christ for special outpourings and manifestations of blessings. Many of you have experienced this—moments when it seemed like you stepped into a season where things just fell into place, prayers got answered, doors opened, and everything moved quickly. That was a set time.
I want to announce and decree over your life this morning: You are in a set time right now. This is not just an ordinary week. This is a sick time that God has scheduled, and everything that will happen in the coming weeks and months will be as a result of what God is doing right now. He's doing this because He wants to release a special flow of blessing, anointing, and favor over your life.
If you are willing to receive this, from 2017 onward you're going to see breakthroughs. You're going to see things fall into place. You're going to see special favor and unusual miracles in your life.
Look at Genesis 15:13-16. God spoke to Abram about his great-grandchildren in the fourth generation. God said, "Your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs and will serve them and they will afflict them four hundred years... But in the fourth generation they shall return here."
God set the time. He scheduled the deliverance long before the fourth generation was ever born. And He told Abram, "You can rest and be at peace. I'm going to bring them out with great substance."
I want to declare over your life today: There are things you're worrying about and struggling with. God sees you. Be at peace. God has scheduled and set special times when He's going to do special things in the lives of your children and your children's children. He has set special times for those miracles.
When it was God's set time, there was no power, no empire, no kingdom, no ruler great enough to withstand God's power. When the time came, they couldn't hold the people back. Today I declare over you: When it's God's set time, it doesn't matter how hard people try, how hard circumstances push, or how hard the enemy tries. If it's God's set time, you're coming out with great position, great favor, and great testimony.
Pharaoh tried his best to keep Israel in Egypt. He said, "The men can go, but the women and children must stay." Moses said, "We're not leaving without our wives and children." Pharaoh tried again: "The women and children can go, but leave the flocks and herds behind." Moses said, "When we leave, we leave with everything. Not one will stay behind."
I want to declare over you: When you're coming out, you're coming out with everything. Nothing is going to stay behind—not your family, not your children, not your finances. When you step into God's set time, you're coming out with everything.
This is your time to say, "I'm not going to serve God on my own anymore. My family is going to serve God with me. My children are going to serve God with me. My substance, my finances—everything is coming out too."
When it's God's appointed time, what was hard before becomes easy. Moses tried to deliver Israel in his own strength. He killed an Egyptian and tried to do it with his power and influence, but he struggled. It was hard. But when he came back in God's time, forty years later, he didn't have to do it in his own strength anymore. What was hard before became easy. He brought millions of people out of bondage, not because of Moses' strength, but because it was God's time.
I need to tell you: Some of you may feel that things in your past disqualify you. But when it's God's time for you, whatever has happened will not disqualify you anymore. You will step into the authority of God like Moses did, and you'll be able to do what you couldn't do before.
When Abraham tried to have a child in his own time, Ishmael was brought forth. But when it was God's set time, Isaac was born. Genesis 21:1-2 tells us: "At the set time the Lord visited Sarah just like He had spoken to her, and she conceived and gave birth to Isaac."
There are things that will happen at a set time that won't take a lot of effort. They won't be hard or difficult. They won't be in the flesh—they'll be because it's the time of God.
When Simon Peter was at the boat with Jesus at the Sea of Galilee, he said, "Lord, we struggled all night. We worked hard all night and caught nothing." They were professional fishermen with a fishing company, partners in business, generations of fishermen. They knew how to fish. Yet they caught nothing.
But then Jesus said, "Launch out into the deep." At that prophetic word, Peter said, "At Your word I will do it." When he went out again, they caught such a great catch that the nets started to break and the boat started to sink. What was difficult before became easy. What was impossible before became possible.
Today I want to declare over your life: You're in that set time right now. What was difficult or hard before is going to become easy. The impossible is going to become possible. Rise up today. Stand on His word. Shout out: "It is my set time for God's blessing, for God's favor, for the anointing to manifest on my life!"
The Lord spoke to me in early May, and He said, "There's a change, there's a transition coming in May. Get ready. In this fifth month of 2017, I'm releasing a special grace. It's going to be a time for unusual miracles."
Today I want to prophesy over your life: You are in a season of unusual miracles. What was hard before is going to become easy. What was impossible is going to become possible if you believe it.
The Bible says in Acts 19:11-12 that God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul. If there were unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, then there must have been usual miracles. But I'm here to tell you right now: We are in a moment of unusual miracles. Get ready for things you haven't seen before. Get ready for things you haven't experienced before. Get ready to experience and see things in your life, in your family, in your prayer life, in your walk with God, and in the body of Christ.
The Bible says that handkerchiefs and cloths that were placed on Paul's body, when they were taken to the sick, they were healed. When they were placed on the demon-possessed, they were delivered. These were unusual miracles at a higher dimensional level.
A handkerchief is something you use to wipe off sweat and tears—it speaks of labor. But I'm here to tell you: What was hard before, what caused you labor and stress, sweat and tears—God is going to anoint it and turn it around into a manifestation of unusual miracles.
Unusual miracles in your family. I know there are some things in your family that only a miracle can sort out. Unusual miracles in your finances, your business, the workplace. Unusual miracles in your own walk with God. And it's not going to be hard or difficult—it's just going to be manifesting because it's time.
Psalms 102:13 says: "But You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for the time to favor her, yes, the set time has come."
This psalm speaks of difficulty and hardship, of feeling cast away. But then the psalmist turns the prayer and declares: "The time to favor Zion has come! The set time for favor has come!"
When it was God's set time, there was no power, no kingdom that could hold Israel in Babylonian captivity. God said, "I will raise up an anointed king. He doesn't even know who I am, but I'm going to use him, and he's going to get My people back to the land. He will not only release them—he will finance the rebuilding of the temple of God."
When it's time, when God says it's going to happen, God will position things and people into the right place to make it happen for you. When it was God's set time, they came back to the land, and there was no power that could withstand it.
God is saying to you today: You're in a set time right now. Yes, you've been struggling and working hard all night in sweat and tears. You felt like nothing was going on. But it's changing. In this Feast of Pentecost, as the anointing oil touches you tonight, there is going to be a new season, a new flow, a new manifestation of unusual miracles. It's a set time of God.
When the alarm clock goes off in the morning and it's set for a specific time, when that alarm sounds, I have to change my position. I have to get out of bed. I have to prepare for that appointed time.
When there's a set time, you've got to change your position. You've got to change your posture. You've got to change the way you think, talk, and walk. You've got to change your expectations. You've got to get ready and prepare for what God is going to do.
I want to encourage you in this coming week and in the coming months: Have an expectation. Change your position. Change your posture. Change your mindset. Get ready. Prepare. Have an expectation every day for an unusual miracle of God. It's a set time.
The Bible says that our times are in His hands. Daniel 2:21 says: "And God changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and raises up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding."
God changes times and seasons. This morning, whatever season you're in, whatever time you've been in—if you will believe what I'm sharing with you, if you will believe this word by the Spirit of Prophecy, God is saying that this word will change the time you're in. This word will change the season you're in, and you'll step into the season and the time that God has for you.
And the time and season that God has for you is going to be a time of breakthrough, prosperity, advancement, acceleration, and unusual miracles.
When a phone or computer isn't working right—when there's a bug, a virus, or clutter taking up memory—one of your last resorts is to do a reset. When you reset that device, it clears off all the old images, pictures, data. It gets rid of all the bugs and everything that came onto it.
I prophesy that some of you are going to have a reset. The old images, old memories, old ideas, old things are about to be wiped away. It's going to be cleared out. Every bug, every virus, every hindrance is going to go. You're going to step into something fresh, new, and favorable from the hand of the Lord. It is a set time of God. You need a reset.
God was so specific with times that He established a pattern and a law for Israel. He said, "Every 50 years, I want you to have a reset. I want you to have a jubilee."
In Israel, every 50 years, every single person who had gone bankrupt, who had faced judgment, maybe even been imprisoned, who had lost their inheritance through failure or repossession or bankruptcy—God said, "In the 50th year of Jubilee, I want My whole nation, all My people, to have a reset."
He said the priests would go out and blow the trumpet. When they did, prison doors would open, judgments would be cleared, people would come off the blacklist, properties would be restored, families that had lost would have their family inheritance restored.
I'm here to prophesy to you now: You and I are in a reset time. There's a jubilee anointing. God is saying, "I'm going to restore to you what you lost."
The setbacks you've had, the failures you've had, the things that went wrong—God is about to adjust it. God is about to reset it. God is about to restore it. It's time for us to take it back.
We don't need to wait for every 50 years because Jesus stood up in a synagogue in Luke 4 and said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. I am here to declare the acceptable year of the Lord."
In Christ, we can have jubilee any time, everywhere, every day. Jubilee is here for your family, for your house, and for your finances.
Will you stand to your feet? I want to ask you to lift those hands to heaven if you believe and receive the word of the Lord for your life.
Father, we lift our hands to You today, and we thank You for the word of the Lord. We thank You for this prophetic promise that this is our set time, that this is our time of favor. This is our time, Father. There is going to be unusual miracles. This is the time when what was hard before will become easy, when what was impossible before will become possible. This is our Jubilee time.
So today we lift our voices like a trumpet. We sound the alarm. We sound prophetically. We proclaim and confess: Jubilee is in my house. Jubilee is in my family. Jubilee is in my finances. Jubilee is in our lives.
