ALL THINGS NEW– PART 1

THE START OF A NEW YEAR IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT NEW THINGS GOD MAY WANT TO DO.

I’M FIRMLY CONVINCED THAT GOD LIKES DOING NEW THINGS

REVELATION 21:5 “And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

ALL THROUGH TIME WE SEE THAT GOD LOVES NEW THINGS

LEVITICUS — ASKS FOR A NEW GRAIN OFFERING

NUMBERS — GOD GAVE ISREAL NEW WINE AND NEW GRAIN

PSALMS — GOD TOLD US THAT HE LOVES A NEW SONG

ISAIAH — GOD DECLARES NEW THINGS FOR HIS PEOPLE, HE GIVES US A NEW NAME AND PROMISES TO MAKE A NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH

JEREMIAH — GOD MAKES US PART OF A NEW COVENANT

LAMENTATIONS — GODS MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING

EZEKIEL —  GOD GIVES US A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT

MATTHEW — JESUS LOOKS FOR NEW WINE SKINS TO USE

JOHN — JESUS GAVE US A NEW COMMANDMENT

2 COR — GOD MAKES US A NEW CREATION AND PROMISES TO MAKE ALL THINGS NEW

REVELATIONS —GOD PROMISES A NEW JERUSALEM

LOOKING AT THE WORLD TODAY WE MAY THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT HE IS DONE MAKING NEW THINGS.

BUT ITS PART OF HIS NATURE, HIS BEHAVIOR, HIS CHARACTER.

HE’S NOT DONE MAKING HIS BRIDE NEW

HE’S NOT DONE MAKING THIS COUNTRY NEW

HE’S NOT DONE MAKING THIS WORLD NEW

IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS, THE FIRST FEW VERSES WE CAN SEE THAT GOD IS SUPREME IN HIS PERSON — AS A TRIUNE GOD

HIS POWER – IN ACTIVITY AND WORD

AND HIS PURPOSE – AS CREATOR, DESIGNER, REBUILDER, RESTORER. HE CREATED OUR WORLD AND US WITH A PURPOSE.

IN THE FIRST CHAPTER OF GENESIS WE READ THAT GOD CREATED/V1  THE SPIRIT OF GOD HOVERED/V2  GOD SPOKE/V3 GOD SAW/V4 GOD NAMED/V5

THIS YEAR LETS ENGAGE WITH THESE 5 ACTIONS OF GOD

1. WHAT DO YOU NEED GOD TO CREATE IN YOU?
2. AS THE SPIRIT HOVERED OVER THE DARK AND EMPTY WATERS, WAITING TO CREATE — WHAT ARE THE DARK AND EMPTY PLACES OF YOUR OWN LIFE AND WHERE DO YOU NEED THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO HOVER AND MOVE?
3. WHAT WORDS DO YOU NEED TO HEAR HIM SPEAK OVER YOU OR WHAT TRUTH DO YOU NEED TO SPEAK INTO YOUR OWN SITUATION?
4. DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT GOD SEES YOU? WHAT IN YOUR LIFE DO YOU NEED TO NAME, ACKNOWLEDGE OR CALL OUT?
5. HE SEES YOU, HE LOVES YOU, HE CREATED YOU – ON PURPOSE AND FOR A PURPOSE.
