Jubilee Cards - Power

"Jubilee Cards" about Power

Minute-a-day stretching exercises that combine
the Power Declaration with reminders, verses & prayers

Jubilee Cards put SYNC content at your fingertips in a form you can use for a quick exercise routine. If you print a copy, you can do the exercise to set the tone for your day before you pick up your phone in the morning.

Or do them on your phone whenever you can seize a window of opportunity--at the breakfast table, in personal devotions, in a one-minute pause before you get in your car, or in many other settings alone or with friends.

The cards help you exercise your right to declare what kind of a day you are going to have instead of letting your circumstances impose it on you. They SYNC you with each seasonal theme as you go through the year.

Seven of the fifty cards go with Power Season. Let these cards remind you who you are--walking evidence of the power of God for good. Lots of good things happen when you get that on your mind.

Using a Jubilee Card to set the tone for your day is like humming an old favorite song, moving with its rhythm. And you go dancing out into your day, the joy inside you gives you strength to rise above the not so joyful things that may hit you during the day.

You can't overdose on the medicine these cards give you, so repeat your one-minute stretch later in the day as often as needed.

Each card gives us a declaration, a reminder, a verse, and a prayer

The Power Declaration sets the tone for our day, linking us to the resurrection
Each reminder reinforces our identity and our role in God's empowering campaign
Each verse tells us something about God's power at work on earth
Each prayer relates to the verse

FAQs on personal use of Jubilee Cards

Why do these cards work? Where do the cards get their power to influence us?

These tools remind us that we get to live our earthly lives with heavenly power because Jesus wanted it that way. He sent heaven's power to earth through his Spirit. The verses SYNC us with Christ and his resurrection so that we are authorized and empowered to live as free citizens of his kingdom.

The cards remind us of Pentecost Day, and that story has an almost magical effect on us. We are connected to the risen Christ himself! We are electrified by his life and power. Without his Spirit, we would be unplugged, unable to do whatever we were built to do. Each time we read a Jubilee Card, it is like hitting the power button on an appliance or a TV. The machine goes to work, assuming it really is plugged in.

Isn't it dangerous to add any words of our own into a Scripture verse?

The biblical warning on this point, Revelation 22.18, is about adding or deleting things that change the meaning. The intention of these adjustments of the wording on the cards is to bring the truth of the Scripture home to you in order to move you to act on it.

That truth is already there in the Scripture, and we do not intend to change any of it or add to it. We do not think we have; however, you be the judge. If you think the paraphrased version of the Jubilee Cards is "putting words into God's mouth" that should not be there, then ignore our version and print the verse from the translation you prefer.

By the way, the bigger danger about Scripture and change is that we will read Scripture but not change our view of ourselves to SYNC with it. In that case we are hearers but not doers (James 1.22). Use whatever form of these SYNC verses best motivates you to get on with the doing of the Word.
