ANT: A NEW THING -
And Now Each WORD Teaches His Immanuel's Never-ending GRACE
Isaiah 43:19 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."BEHOLD, I AM Doing A NEW THING; Now IT Springs Forth, Do you NOT Perceive IT? I Will Make A WAY in the wilderness And RIVERS in the desert."....
Happy New Year....I must admit I always have a slightly mixed-bag approach towards a New Year. There's new projects, new thoughts and ideas to consider, BUT then there's remnants of projects begun and not yet finished, old thoughts and ideas that had not come to fruition.
I have heard some comment, "So it's another year - big whoop - just another round of the same old/same old."
I did learn a new word today - Shannah. Shannah is a Hebrew word that usually means: - repeat; - second; - duplicate; BUT Shannah can also mean: CHANGE (My thanks to Jonathan Cahn's "Book Of Mysteries" Devotional for the insight on Shannah/jaj)....
Thus, as I've been pondering this, our New Year being a Shannah - I Hear His Holy Spirit Sharing that IF we remain in the world's way of approach, then indeed, we may well find that we're simply repeating, or duplicating what we've done before. BUT (Behold the Underlying TRUTH) - IF we Surrender to Him and His Will, allowing His Holy Spirit to Align our own will INTO His, THEN the Results is Shannah....CHANGE.
I mean God The Father Assures us in Isaiah 43:19 (above) That His Focus Is Doing A NEW THING!.....His Son, our Lord Jesus Re-AFFIRMS this via His Holy Spirit's Inspired WORD to John as John Records his Vision in Revelation 21:5 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."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.'”....
So.....Team, we do have a Choice (as God The Father Always Gives us a CHOICE).....for Shannah 2017 we can repeat what all the years before have been, or we can CHOOSE to Align our will to God's WILL and strap-on-our-running-shoes For His CHANGE to Happen within, around and even through us For His Kingdom.....
For our PJP2 Prelude Prayer for today.....Psalm 85:1-7 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Raise Your Name Up in Worship and Praise. Lord Jesus, By Your GRACE, You Are Ever Favorable To us, Your Adopted children, and To Your Creation. Father God, As You Restored The Fortunes of Jacob in our Past, we Thank You as You Restore us In Your Love. Holy Spirit, we Thank You for Your Presence. Lord Jesus, By Your LIFE, SACRIFICE and RESURRECTION, You Forgave the iniquity of us Your people; You Covered and Atoned all of our sin. Selah - We pause and Praise You. Father God, In Your Mercy, You Withdrew All Your Wrath; You Turned From Your Hot Anger that we deserved. O Holy Spirit, Restore and Revive us Once More. O God Of our Salvation, Because of Your Son, our Lord Jesus, Please, Once More, Put Away Your Indignation toward us! Lord Jesus, Because Of Your GRACE, we Praise You, for You Will Help God The Father in Turning From His Righteous Anger. Holy Spirit, Thank You, for By Your Intercession, You Will Help God The Father Not to Prolong His Holy Anger towards us. Revive us Again, O Father God, That Your people May Ever Rejoice In You! Lord Jesus Thank You, for You Show us Your Steadfast LOVE, O Lord, Now and Forevermore. May we Be Changed In You. May we, O Lord, Choose to Surrender our will To You. Thank You Lord Jesus, Grant us Your Salvation and Saving Grace. May we Reflect such in our Daily Walk With You. In Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus, we Raise our Prayers and Praise....Amen and Amen...jaj
