All new EVERYTHING!!!

Isaiah 43:19 states, (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) Now this is what the word says! 

Up until the new year, I've been hearing people around me keep saying, "God is getting ready to do a new thing!" "He's getting ready to do a new thing in the body of Christ." & it really stuck with me. Particularly because, I had watched Him do so much in just the last 3 months of 2013..that I knew it was quite possible & I know He's able. So as January 1,2014 rolled around I kept seeing Isaiah 43:19 all over social media! Everybody on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & probably even MySpace was quoting this scripture! It blew my mind. Because as the new year approached, we're constantly thinking about our goals, dreams, resolutions, & just all of the things that we have our minds set on doing when the clock strikes 11:59 p.m on December 31,2013. So to already have been hearing this word from multiple people & then for 2014 to be here & to keep seeing this word, I knew that God was giving me confirmation & letting me know...it's true! That He would be doing a new thing in 2014! 

Okay, I hear you Lord but what does that mean? What does it mean for me? Should I begin to do new things? Or should I keep doing what I've been doing? & I received my answer for that, when I went to church New Year's Eve! Bishop preached about MOVING ON! & Missionary Cherry spoke about CHOICES! Wow! I mean I was blown away by God! Now mind you in Bishop's sermon she said the same thing, "God is getting ready to do a new thing in 2014." So here I am on cloud 10! I didn't need any alcohol or drugs to get me turned up for the holidays! I was high off of Jesus! A Holy Ghost high! & let me tell you, it doesn't get any better than that! God was speaking to me! Telling me to get myself prepared, because He was about to do a new thing! 

A new thing like what tho?! Now I can only speak for myself & from my OWN heart's desires but this "New Thing" I honestly believe is not only what God wants to do but also what you would like for Him to do! Let me explain, I started this blog in December of 2013! I was doing a "New thing." Now here in 2014 my confession is for God to use me in every area of my life in every way everyday! God is getting ready to do a new thing! It's only the 3rd day of January & He's beginning His "New Thing" within me already! & because I have delighted myself in Him, He's giving me the desires of my heart, while completing His "new thing."  

As I talked to my friend about an upcoming venture of mines, she told me that she feels God puts these desires in our heart to want & achieve different things. Now Psalms 37:4 says,( ⁴ In the same manner delight thyself in the LORD, and he shall give thee the desires of thy heart. KJV) While Psalms 20:4 says, (⁴ May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,And fulfill all your purpose. NKJV) Yes, I wanted to start to this blog but it was because of my PURPOSE that God gave me this desire! & because I was delighting myself in Him, He made it come to pass & gave me the desire's of my heart. This "NEW THING" that God is getting ready to do is bigger than me tho. This is PURPOSE-DRIVEN & GOD ORDAINED!

As we all know, we are truly living in our last days. If you step into the book of Revelations, you will truly see that these things that God spoke about are surely coming to pass. People are leaving this Earth young & old, sick & healthy. Now is truly not the time to be playing about your salvation. This is why God is rising up His people & expecting us to prepare ourselves for this "New Thing" that He is beginning to do within the body of Christ. As I talk to my friends & look at my own life, scriptures are coming to life. Acts 2:17 states (¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: KJV) My friends are having visions & I'm having dreams! These are the types of "New Things" that God is doing with His people. Don't take it lightly that you have vivid dreams that stir something up in your spirit..it is a move of God! WRITE IT DOWN! Get you a notebook & start writing down your dreams & visions. God is getting ready to show Himself to you.

My focus is preparing for this "New Thing." If I don't prepare & get myself ready for change, "I will miss out on a big move of God!" -words from Bishop. I know at this point I surely do not want that to happen. I am so ready & excited for all the things that God has for me but I know it's going to require work, faithfulness, sacrifice, & dedication. I am determined to receive DOUBLE for all my trouble & to become the woman that God wants me to be. In this season, I believe it's time for us to truly seek God like never before. We need to be in constant communication with Him so He can speak into our lives & let us know what it is that He would have us to do. I'm now beginning to instead of waking up & getting on Twitter/Facebook, I'm waking up & getting down on my knees to pray & invite the Holy Spirit in my life & my day. After I get dressed, I'm getting back in my bed & reading the word. Once I get in my car, I'm blasting praise & worship music throughout the day & just talking with God. In just 3 days, I am seeing a difference. I truly want God to have His way in my life this season! But I know that I have to do my part! & I don't know about you but I have already declared, "That this is MY YEAR!" I'm getting ready to get EVERYTHING that God has in store for me. I suggest you do the same! So make the decision TODAY to begin to work with GOD so He can show YOU this NEW THING & for YOU to SEE the MANIFESTATION present in your own LIFE!
