New Season


As we welcome a new chapter in 2010 and close the chapter on 2009, I began to think about the future and the past. Everyone has made mistakes and failed in one or more areas, we have all had setbacks.


But we can't allow these setbacks and failures to stop us from moving forward. Jesus came that we would have life and have it more abundantly. Abundantly in the Greek=superior in quality, excessive. That is exactly the life God has for you and I. Jesus also said that we have an adversary that wants to steal, kill and destroy. That's why when we start moving forward, the Devil brings up our past. He wants to keep you from your future, keep you from your God ordained destiny.


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 perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.


The past is over, God is more interested in your future...


I believe God is calling us into a new season, a season of change. The only way things will be different in 2010 is if we seize the moment. It can't be business as usual, we need to stretch into the personal mold that God has designed for us as individuals.
As I peer into this new season and look to the future I'm reminded of Elisha.


In 2 Kings 6 it speaks about the prophets building a new place for their ministry because they out grew their old building. They were chopping down trees for that purpose and during this process one of them lost their axe head and it flew into the water. They could not continue until they got the axe head back. Elisha threw a stick into the water and the iron axe head floated to the surface. When this miracle took place it brought Elisha's ministry to another level.


That's exactly what is going to happen in 2010!


God is calling us into a new season, a new dimension and we are going to see dramatic changes in the ministry. Remember our destiny is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. We must choose to embrace and stretch into God's plan for our lives and ministry. And just as God brought that axe head to the surface, He is going to bring our ministry to the surface. The axe head is a symbol of the anointing and the anointing is about to be revealed in a greater way than ever before in 2010. We are going to operate at a new level of ministry.


The axe head is rising, God's anointing is being manifest in a greater way.
The future is going to be amazing.


It's a New Season...
