Super Bowl 54…National Jubilee

Is it possible that God is speaking through a national sport to speak a national message to the nation of the United States of America? I believe He is; I believe God is decreeing over our nation: National Jubilee. As believers we are called to discern the times and the seasons (1 Chronicles 12:32/Luke 12:54-56); as we look at some of the details of the upcoming Super Bowl, can you see the decree God is making; National Jubilee.

The two teams in the Super Bowl are the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs have not gone to the Super Bowl in 50 years. Both 49 (ers) and 50 (years) are Jubilee numbers in the Bible (Leviticus 25:8-10). Jubilee is a time of debt cancelation, land restoration and family reconciliation. I see a National Jubilee.

The combined colors of the two teams are red, white, and gold. These colors speak to Jubilee as well with Isaiah 1:18 saying, “Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” This ties to Day of Atonement in which the national sins of all of Israel was atoned for. The gold is a Jubilee color as well, for the 50-year anniversary is called the Golden Anniversary for married couples. (I wrote a whole blog called Golden Jubilee if you want to check it out at mouthpieceministries.wordpress.com).

The cities they represent is significant as well, for San Francisco is in the Northwest regions of the United States, Kansas City is in the Midwest region of the United States and Miami, where the Super Bowl is being played, is located in the Southeast region of the United States. This again speaks to a national word God is speaking, not a specific to a city, ministry or person.

It is Super Bowl 54 that is being played, Isaiah 54 is chapter of this Super Bowl and there are so many prophetic thoughts in that chapter and very specific for those who have been waiting for God’s next move on planet earth. Here are a couple keys, I see in this chapter as it relates to National Jubilee: Shout for joy; enlarge; stretch out; spare not; lengthen and strengthen; for you will possess nations and resettle desolate cities; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, who is called the God of all the earth; with great compassion I will gather you; in righteousness you will be established; no weapon that is formed against you will prosper; your vindication is from Me declares the Lord. National Jubilee!

A few more things, the Super Bowl is being played on 2/2/2020 that is Isaiah 22:22 which says, “I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will shut, when he shuts no one will open.” This governmental key was given to Jesus for National Jubilee and I see Him opening debt cancelation, land restoration and family reconciliation in our nation.

Finally, the late prophet Bob Jones said to Shawn Bolz, more than 10 times, according to Shawn Bolz, “When the Kansas City Chiefs go to the Super Bowl and win it, you will know that it will be a sign of the upcoming and end time revival. He explained that God is raising up His chiefs to be apostolic leaders in many spheres of influence.” Johnny Enlow, Lance Wallnau and many others have spoke about the 7 mountains and how God is going to bring the gospel of the kingdom into the 7 mountains of culture with this next revival, so for me, this is just another confirmation of a National Jubilee.

Whoever wins the Super Bowl will bring great joy to that city, but I believe this Super Bowl is not about one city getting the victory, but about God decreeing National Jubilee, so the who nation gets free!

Off With His Head

The queen of hearts is found in the story of Alice in Wonderland and is famous for saying the words, “Off with their head”. In a childhood story, those words may sound funny, but in real life reality there is no humor involved at all. The phrase “Off with their head” did not begin with Alice in Wonderland, rather it began with God in Genesis 3:15 when the Lord said to the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall crush, bruise, strike your head…” It is important to remember the enemy is a copy cat not a Creator, everything he does originated with God, He just twists it so he can use it to steal, kill or destroy (John 10:10). The same can be said with the enemy’s use of the words “off with his head”.

There is a spirit that is alive and active in the earth realm today of which we as believers must be keenly aware. It is a demonic spirit, that is declaring “off with his head”. But this is not a here and now spirit that is speaking this this is an ancient spirit that has a history of wanting to silence the voice of justice and righteousness in the earth realm. It is the same spirit that carries the name Jezebel in the book of 1 Kings 19:1-3 that says, “Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.” Jezebel wanted Elijah’s head so she could silence the voice of righteousness and justice in the earth realm.

This ancient spirit is not only found in the Old Testament as Jezebel, the same spirit is also found in the New Testament as Herodias. Many may not have put the two together but Mark 6 is where Jesus is famously quoted as saying “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household”. A prophet is the voice of righteousness and justice in the earth realm. Continuing on in Mark 6 we find this same ancient spirit declaring “off with his head”, but it is manifesting in Herodias. Listen to this, “Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her. For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so; for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe”. The prophet’s voice is what the unrighteousness want to silence, because they speak righteousness and justice.

The spirit of Herodias did not stop at holding a grudge, she wanted him dead and used anyone necessary and declared “off with his head”. Mark 6:21-25 says, “A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee; and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.” And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom.” And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” This ancient spirit has such visceral hatred of righteousness and justice it will not stop until it has the head of the prophetic voice.

We must remember, spirits do not have genders and though the spirit manifests through a human being, we must remember the person we see is only a puppet of the one we can’t see (Ephesians 6). This ancient spirit is seeking the head of anyone who speaks for righteousness and justice. The more authority the person carries in the earth realm the more targeted they are. However, despite the threats the enemy is spewing and despite the attacks the enemy is launching, the Lord declares “Righteousness will exalt this nation!” Righteousness and justice will prevail, therefore this is not the time to be silent, but to speak up and out for our voices together sound like mighty rushing waters and justice is rolling down.

The enemy may be saying “off with his head”, but the Lord is saying “When these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28). Victory is imminent, I can see it, that is why I say it!
