Behold, I will do a new thing;
now it shall spring forth;
shall ye not know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19 KJV
Praise God! Happy New Year!
Do you trust your Father? Your heavenly Father to honor His Word?
He who makes a way in the sea, a path through surging waters, bringing forth chariots and horses, armies and warriors…extinguishing them, never to rise again…..quenched (Is 43;16-17)….forever silenced…. God sees us, His children. Even in the future, far away, years from when this scripture was told, yet so close that we can touch it… We can feel Him, and see Him and, His mighty wondrous deeds as He blesses us!
He cautions us in Is 43:18 not to look to the former things. In Phil 3:13-14, scripture tells us to “forget” what is behind you. Don’t look back on the past, the things that want to take hold of you… But, look forward, reaching out. Forward to Jesus’ hand. Forward to your “way in the wilderness,” forward to your Prize…. It may be a struggle, but a struggle worth fighting for!
Do your best, for the BEST is right in front of you!
I remember when I was in track, O, it wasn’t easy at all. I had to strain to move my feet faster. I competed against girls who I called the “gazelles” they were taller, faster, and their legs were so long, longer than mine! But, it was a competition, in which I was confident that if I did my best, straining to win, pushing myself hard for that extra inch, I could do it, because confidence said I could. Confidence lengthened my stride! Confidence gave me the strength of Christ to “do” this thing! I had to reach the finish line…trying hard… never giving up! I didn’t kill myself all week practicing to give up! I had to run the race.
Jesus wants us to run the race toward Him, our prize! He is with us.
He wants us to LIVE OUT -Him- IN us.
Is 43: 2 says, He is with us. In the struggle, in the race, in the valleys and even in our best of times, Jesus Christ is with us! He quenches our thirst! He fills us full with His goodness! Fire and Water shall not consume us, no, Jesus is with us! We are the ransomed of Christ! Jesus Christ is our Deliverer!!!
Hallelujah!!! \0/
God wants to do something new for us! Are you willing to reach out and grab your blessing?? God will make a way for you! Abundance belongs to you! Blessings belong to you, heaped upon heaped!! Yes, yours!
Do you see a mountain- overshadowing your blessing?
Jesus’ Word says this: I will make a way. He will make the path of what seems impossible….possible!!
He is the God of the impossible! Matter of fact, NOTHING is (ever) IMPOSSIBLE for God! So, in Jesus name, we can say: MOUNTAIN MOVE, and it shall! Does your faith agree with this statement???
Do you realize, child of God, that we are the “chosen” the ones who God loves to spoil, and bless, heaps upon heaps?? Are you aware that our Lord, has cleared the path already for you?
Where as you see the mountain, God is way ahead of you, and sees the cleared pathway!
Is this your “new thing?” that God is willing to give? Oh, there are many new things we can snatch from heaven which belong to us!
Shall ye not know it??
God will make a way where there seems to be no way, Hallelujah!!!
He is so kind that the desert land of your life shall be filled with His Living Water!
We shall never be parched, if we “trust” our Father, our Heavenly Father who is nothing but good, good, good!
It is promised that the Lord will do this N O W. Are you ready for your blessing??? Are you ready for your overflow? Our Abundant God wants us to flow, with overflowing abundance of HIM!
So, this message tells me that I do not need to live in “wasteland” of dry, dark, desert land. NO!!! God wants to rain His blessings down on us! Hallelujah!
For we will ever be grateful, Lord.
Abba, You did it again! You blessed us heaps upon heaps, in Your abundance of overflowing blessing! Hallelujah, thank you, Lord! Thank you for making a way for me, walking my path ahead of time, for me! Making my crooked paths straight! Thank you! again and again, thank you! Help us, Lord, not to REFUSE Your help. Help us not to be that foolish, that we would be so full of pride that we would ignore your refreshment….
Show us Lord, how to bask in Your glory! Being refreshed, being full, being with such thankfulness it oozes out of us!
Help us to Delight in the One who delights in us! The One who loves us so much, that You would walk our paths even before we set foot on them.
Ah, Lord God, You undo me with Your goodness!
Help us to KNOW “who” our Abba God is! Yes, You are: Wonderful! Thank you. Good, Thank you! Awesome, Thank you! Always refreshing us, in our dry places! Refreshing us when we are in the dry wilderness.
Hallelujah, You are God; always with us! Never leaving us! Watering our dry places, giving us refreshment of the Joy of the Father, refreshment of His integrity, of the God who never lies. The God of NOW.
Lord, bless us as we run the race, straining to win, bless our feet (the one who brings the Message of Your good news! Abba, bless the hearer of the Word, and even more, bless the DOER of Your Word.
Thank you, Lord, for blessing us. You are Kind, You are Good, and for that we say:
Amen, and Praise the Lord!!!
Thank you Jesus.
Now, this New Year, go in the Peace of Christ! With the confident assurance that God is With you (Emanuel), that He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He loves you! He wants you with Him! He wants to bless you! He wants to honor you with Himself! God wants to refresh you…NOW!!!
ABBA, please bless us in 2019, help us to honor Your wonderful name. Lord, please protect us by the power of your name. In Jesus name, Amen!
Blessings to your faith, to your journey IN Christ Jesus, and to your NOW.
Love,
p.s. read all of Isaiah 43, I promise, you will be most blessed! ((since our Lord God is no respecter of persons! be blessed!!)) & John 1:16 especially in the Amp version
