Allow God to Do a New Thing
Here's my thought about...
Our God is a God of new beginnings. His Word says in Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up, do you not perceive 1t? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
No matter what you have gone through or going through right now, God is going to do a new thing in your life, if you allow Him. He wants you to forget all your past pains and failures, so that you can give Him the green light to do a new thing. If you let your past failures block the way, God will not be able to move in your life.
You need to let God be God and give Him the permission to perform miracles in your life. You should not let your past failures cloud your present and do not let them choke your future. Apostle Paul sid that he forgot what was behind and straining toward what is ahead. He pressed on toward the goal to win the prize for which God had called him heavenward, in Christ Jesus.
I presume we all know about the story of Apostle Paul, when he was known as Saul and persecuting the christians. He then had an encounter with our Lord, Jesus Christ, as he came near to Damascus. He was going to take Christians as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he moved nearer to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice said to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting". He replied.
Saul had an encounter with our Lord, Jesus Christ, and he allowed Him to touch his life in a mighty way. Even though, Saul had a terrible past, he made a choice to forget and move on. God then used him to touch so many lives and he ended writing most of the books in the New Testament. What an awesome testimony!
When you let go of your past failures and pain, God will do a new thing and use you mightily to touch many lives. Paul chose to forget what was behind him, and moved on to win the prize for which God had called him. I know that you will have a testimony when you allow God to do new thing in your life.
Even, past success can cloud and choke your present and future, if you do not let go of them. For example, one could be dwelling on the fact that they were a millionaire or very successful once before. That was then; what is happening now? If they do not let go of their past success, God will not be able to do more for them.
Our God is "Jehovah I am" and not "Jehovah I was". He is a God of now, and He wants to work in your life, if you allow Him. He wants you to see that He is doing a new thing. What you are able to see is what you are able to get from Him. The bible says in Genesis 13:14-15, "The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever".
Wow! What a great promise from the Lord. When you have a vision of what God is about to do in your life, you will let go of your past failures and successes. God's people are destroyed from lack of knowledge or vision. In short, your miracle is in your hands, if you co-operate with the Almighty.
I want to encourage you with a short testimony about myself. Before I met my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I was going through a lot of hurt, anger, unforgiveness, guilt, bitterness and frustration. After I got saved, by the Grace of God, the Lord gave me deliverance through the scripture in Isaiah 43:18-19 (which I quoted in the first paragraph). He made me to understand that all I had gone through was like "split milk" and there was nothing I could do about them.
But He gave me grace to accept the situation and co-operate with Him to get my deliverance. He performed a "spiritual surgical operation" on me and uprooted all the hurt, anger, unforgiveness, guilt, bitterness and frustration. At the end of it, He set me free from all those things and gave me a thorough cleansing. Alleluia! No doctor on planet earth could have done that for me. Whoever the Lord sets free, is free indeed.
Child of God, you can be set free today, from all those past failures and hurt that are taking hold of you. I am not despising your pain; but I know that my God who did for me will do more for you. He is no Respecter of persons; He loves all of us equally. Let God be God; let go of all those hurts and lay them at the foot of the cross.
Let God work through you and set you free today; you will be glad you did. I pray that God will grant you the grace to let go, as He did for me, in Jesus' matchless Name. Amen. Enjoy the peace of the Lord.
PRAYER OF SALVATION
If you have not already committed your life to Jesus and you would like to do so now, please pray this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I am sorry for all the things I have done wrong. Thank you for dying for me on the cross, to set me free from my sins. I ask you to come into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen."
Congratulations, if you have prayed this prayer. Please look for a Bible-believing church, to fellowship with the brethren.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, if I can be of any assistance to you. Remain blessed and enjoy the presence of the Lord.
