Jesus was born to deliver us from debt. He was born to proclaim "the acceptable year of The LORD." In Luke 4:21, Contemporary English Version, Jesus said, "What you have just heard me read has come true today." That day, the Jubilee ceased to simply be a year in time. It became a Person. Jesus became our Eternal Jubilee! If we get into financial trouble or bondage, we don't have to wait another 50 years to get out. We don't even have to wait another 50 days, or 50 minutes. We can repent, receive our release, and get supernatural help from God. If you have a debt load in your life that has been weighing you down, go ahead and do that right now! Instead of condemning yourself, take your stand on God's WORD. Commit to do whatever He tells you. Say this out loud by faith: "Debt, I speak to you now in Jesus' Name. I command you to be removed from me! I lay claim to my inheritance as a believer. I have been set free from debt, lack and poverty! I walk in THE BLESSING of Abraham. Jesus was born into this world to be my Jubilee. This is my year for debt freedom! I believe it and I receive it." Are you ready to take the debt-freedom journey? Kenneth Copeland Ministries has teaching resources that will help build your faith to live debt free. One of those is a series by Gloria Copeland and me titled 21 Days to Your Debt Freedom. It's available in audio and video, and comes with study notes. Also available is the 10-CD series by Brother Copeland and me titled It's Time To Get Out of Debt. And, there's the recently released book by Gloria and me titled The Power To Prosper in Troubled Times. It's a 90-day guide to living the prosperous life. Any of these would be valuable resources to help you on your journey to becoming debt free. Remember that faith for debt freedom comes by hearing and hearing by The WORD of debt freedom.

At that moment, the earth stood still. I really didn't know what to say, or how to answer that question. I mumbled some incoherent words, and then this thought went through my mind: This is good for me. This is good for me. Thankfully, Brother Copeland answered for me. He said my faith had not been developed to the point of being able to believe for a debt- free home. What about the "shot heard around the world"? Some months later, Terri and I flew to Moscow for a ministry trip. I turned on the television when we arrived at our hotel room. Lo and behold, there was Kenneth Copeland on that broadcast asking me in Russian, "George, why did you go back into debt to get the next house?" Through the years, it seems that broadcast has followed me everywhere I go. In retrospect, I was grateful for that experience. It motivated Terri and me to step up our faith for debt-freedom. We fed on The WORD, looked up scriptures, sowed seed, and strengthened our confession. It took some time. But, praise God, we have been living in another beautiful, debt-free home now for many years. Don't you just love God? Even when we get ourselves into debt, or some other kind of financial mess when we should have known better, Jesus never condemns us. He doesn't say, "Well, you made your bed, now you'll just have to lie in it. You will have to make payments for another 30 or 40 years before you can be financially free." Delivered From Debt! Brother Copeland shared something very significant with me the day of that broadcast that was a gamechanger. He said, "The moment you make the quality decision to live debt free, God sees you debt free." I received that word from The LORD. You may be in debt right now, but just know this: You don't have to stay in debt! And you for sure don't have to be brokenhearted and remain captive to debt. You don't have to live blind—unable to see your way through to becoming financially free. 2 4 : B V O V George Pearsons is CEO of Kenneth Copeland Ministries and senior pastor of Eagle Mountain International Church, located on the grounds of KCM.
