The Year of Jubilee!



And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.   
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.   (Leviticus 25:8-10 KJV)

As we count down the moments to sundown tonight.  It's potentially a real life Jubilee in the Hebrew calendar.  Because the Jubilee begins after 7 cycles of 7 years.   The Jubilee according to Scripture begins with blowing a ram's horn on Yom Kippur.   Nobody knows for sure which year an actual Jubilee begins since the Temple was destroyed (they only know the 7 year cycles) - but I'm believing for it in my life and my family's life at this time.  





I'm already seeing things happen in my own heart - God's healing really deep wounds in my heart.  My prayer is that this will be for all my friends here - that we can walk free in our hearts and healed in our minds through God's love.   This will make us better filmmakers - it will make us better Christians as we surrender our lives to Him.

 I know so many of us have been waiting for breakthroughs as filmmakers and probably in so many other areas- and even if it's not a literal Jubilee year - God can still bring miracles in our lives - he can still bring a restoration - a Jubilee - return what has been stolen from us - He can still deliver us like He delivered Israel from Egypt, He can still restore what the locusts have eaten.  He can still set us free now -but it's fun to think about this symbolically... that maybe literally and symbolically God is doing something with all of us here with the power of the living Messiah and the Spirit of God - right at this very moment

What's It To You?

Today I begin my Christian Filmmaker's Devotional.  I hope to do at least one per week, Lord willing.  Time will tell if I'm able to do so.  I do appreciate your prayers as I proceed in this endeavor. Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?  Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.   (John 21:21-22, KJV) One of the most difficult situations that I dealt with as a moderator on Christianfilmmakers.org was the problem with Christian filmmakers criticizing other Christian filmmakers .  Usually they'd be judging one filmmaker for seeking to make a film with this or that thing in it - or how could they be blessed by watching such and such a film?  Or how could they justify making a film with such and such a topic or how can they justify watching such a movie with "trash and filth" that offended them made in Hollywood? Most of the issues we as Christians deal with walkin...

Noah's Ark And Self Distribution (Guest Devotional)

20th Century Fox This week's devotional for Christian filmmakers is by Norton Rodriguez, who runs The God of Moses Entertainment and it's on a very important subject of self distribution.  I've known Norton for many years.  Not only is he a skilled filmmaker who excels at his craft;  he is also a visionary who has been encouraging and uniting Christian filmmakers for more than ten years.  Like John the Baptist and Moses of old - he began as a lone prophet in the wilderness.  Long before there was a Christian Film Industry, he started a website called www.christianfilmmaker.com.    So much has changed since he first followed the call of God to provide a place for us as Christian filmmakers to come together.   Today we've grown tremendously and expanded to this and other Christian film communities and it all goes back to Norton originally listening to God's voice in something that was unheard of.     Over the years as I've ...

The Patient Filmmaker Perseveres

Hope deferred makes the heart sick. But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12, KJV) Why do we have to wait so long for things?  And what's the point of waiting if it seems like it's never going to pass?  Well if we're learning to be patient as filmmakers, it is so important not to give up and not to lose sight of hope in the future... because the proverb above teaches us that hope deferred can make us sick.  For most filmmakers seeking to make a living (even at something we believe God has called us to do) waiting for long periods of time for things to happen is usually a reality and a difficulty that we must face on many occasions.  And patience is the only thing that is really going to get us to persevere and make it to our "promised land". In this day and age, for those of us who  don't live in a 3rd World Country, we usually don't have to wait as long for many things we take for granted - things like fast food, airplan...
