Liberty of the Sons of God
The worldly concept of liberty is opposite to the Glorius liberty of the Sons of God that the earth awaits. Young people are told to wait before they get married and end up having 20 broken relationships and risk getting aids because someone told them to be 'free' and 'live your life'. The world's liberty is actually a bondage of corruption. The Liberty God gives His children is glorius – read on.Liberty of the Sons of God

Lev. 25 :9 Mentions the year of Jubilee where liberty is proclaimed throughout the land.
According to Jubilee, there is a canceling of all public and private debts. There is also a restoration of property.
This feast is described in further detail.
However, the phrase ?proclaim liberty throughout the land? reminds us of Jesus? words:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon for he has anointed Me … to proclaim liberty.?
Most people seek financial freedom, Jesus can proclaim that liberty in your finances.
When we make him Lord of our finances, he becomes our source. Our trust is no longer in the systems of the world, but we operate according to His law of liberty which includes sowing and reaping.
Tithes and offerings give us an opportunity to consecrate our money and finances and assets to God, and we proclaim liberty in our finances this way.
Sermon Outline:
Liberty is reserved for the Sons of God.
Oxford Dictionary describes liberty as being ?freedom personified.?
When Jesus read Isa. 61:1, He said, today in your hearing this scripture is fulfilled.
He is our liberty ? he became liberty for us.
