Remember Not the Former Things


 

Isa 43:28-29
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? 



I have often heard the saying, "If you fail to plan, you will plan to fail"..


Goal setting...Purpose driven Plans and Projections are all well and good, 

 

but we are often making all of these in the light of what WE KNOW.  

 

We go to The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil, 

 

write out our lists of "pros and cons" 

 

and then make a "sound decision" based on a system and a tree that Our Father says, “that when you partake of it... you die.”


Prov 14:12; 16:25
There is a way which SEEMETH RIGHT unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


What if God wants to build or do something HIS way... so that when HE builds it, the gates of hell will not prevail against it?  

 

 

What if He wants to show us HIS way to build the dog house, rather than building according to what I have always known or seen a dog house to be? (ie: an igloo rather than a gabled little house)


Sometimes He promised something to us while we are still Jacob, but forms us into Israel before that Word becomes flesh.

 


Isa 9:8
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

 


Isa 43:1
But now thus saith the LORD that CREATED thee, O JACOB, and he that FORMED thee, O ISRAEL…

 

 

As Jacob (supplanter/deceiver) we overlay what we know onto the promise… attempting to perform it. 



This is a NEW THING.  

 

 

You have not seen this before.

 

 

He will form you into that word to be fulfilled. 

 


"...The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." (Isa 9:7)


Let HIM work in you that Tree of Life...

 

 

Colossians 3:15 “…let the peace of God rule in your hearts…”



 Philippians 3:13–14 “…this one thing I do, 

 

 

forgetting those things which are behind…

 

 

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

Image
  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
