God Has Done A New Thing!

Truth Of God is freedom - No longer bound by those things that desire to weaken you, and deplete you of your worth; God’s Promised Word is True and nothing can change it!
I have come to realize that the flesh will cause you to succumb to those feelings and thoughts of despair, dejection, rejection and depression; then you will act out accordingly!
God has done a New Thing and yet we still resemble the old! Why haven’t we grasps hold of the New Thing? Romans 1:21 “21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
Remember Lot’s Wife? - thought what she had was greater than The Word Of God - “To Go and don’t look back. . .” What are you considering the most? That is what will become your guide -
We all have lamented - Jeremiah (Weeping Prophet) Lamentations 3:1-19 describes the old life, when he experienced The Chastisement of God!
We cannot be angry with God when we have disobeyed His Commandment
We know that He is Good and we that He has done so much, but yet we take all that He has done, for granite - We desire our will be done and not His!
We will rather push our agenda, our ideologies, our own fleshly desire, and forget that there is Only One Way - The Lord’s Way!
The Chosen Children were so rebellious, it grieved Our Father’s Spirit - Instead of them being Grateful For The New Things He has done, they kept pushing Him and Pushing Him, regardless of the many times He brought them out, to bring them into Him!
We taught at Bible Study this past Wednesday; My Strength Won’t Fail!
We cannot allow the things of old, to keep us bound, our mind/heart is darkened and cannot realize The Power Of God has illuminated us into A New Thing!
Jeremiah knew The Mercies of God are extensible, and yet the people were to tight to be stretched by God’s Grace and Mercy!
We must realize that our faith will become stretched at times, and it seems as if our strength will fail us, but because God’s Mercy and Grace is your portion, you have been powered up by God, thru The Holy Spirit (God’s New For You), therefore you can rejoice in knowing that I will live to see all those things God Promised me, to come to pass!
Here in this text, Jeremiah just tells the truth of how he is feeling, what he thinks! He is reflecting on his life’s experienced as a Prophet (mouth piece) for God!
Yes, it seems as if there is no hope, there is no joy to be realized, there is no peace to be had, but when you remind yourself that I am still here!
Lamentations 3:20 “20 My soul still remembers And sinks within me.” Remember a few weeks ago when I preached a message; “Now Is Not The Time To Keep Looking Back!” Well, Jeremiah remembers and is humbled by the fact, after all that he just testified to, yet, he still has hope!
Although I have been thru all of that, but this is what I want to recall to mind - Lamentations 3:21 “21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.”
You have the power to what you allow to be your thoughts, and in your mind - Are you going to rest in the old, or are you going to Thank Our Father For The New?
I want to be in The New - 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 “16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
Made New = Renewed, Readjusted, Changed, Turned Around, regenerated (New Thing = Fresh)
Because I have allowed my mind to be renewed, by not conforming to what has been attacking me; as the Prophet was lamenting on his experiences, I refuse to allow the old to trump The New Thing God Has Done!
Yes, I may not be the best, but I know I am not the worse; therefore, I have confidence Thru Christ Jesus, Our Redeemer - Who took away The Old and gave Us The New!
Therefore; Ephesians 4:17-24
Ephesians 4:17–24 NKJV
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Father, I thank You for The New - I rest in pleasing you regardless of the past, regardless of how the enemy desires to sift me; I know that Your Mercies are New Every Morning; so I Praise you God!
Lamentation 3:14 “14 I have become the ridicule of all my people— Their taunting song all the day.”
I refuse to let what man thinks of me, to quench The Promise that you have placed in me; The Holy Spirit!
Ezekiel 18:31 “31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?”
I know you want to right the wrong, but God has already redeemed you! Jeremiah cried rivers overflowing, but yet He still had a praise to God! He cried out to Him - You too must Cry Out in the state that you are in!
“Oh sing to The Lord a New Song. . .” Let your praise rise - Your Praise will cause you to get into places that you thought were impossible!
Lift up your hands to The Heavens, and Thank Our Father For The New. . . He has done too many great things for us to be thinking old; “by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is His Flesh, . . .”
Isaiah 43:14–19 NKJV
14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives— The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships. 15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King.” 16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters, 17 Who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 18 “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
Regardless of what comes my way, I refuse to remember the former things, nor will I consider the things of old - You said it Father, you have Done A New Thing and it will come forth, and we will know it!
You will make ways out of what seems there are no ways! You will make joy when it seems as if there is nothing to be joyful about! You will cause us to experience peace, that surpasses all understanding because you sent Your Only Begotten Son - Who Reconciled Us Back To You!
2 Corinthians 5:18–21 NKJV
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Thank you God for The New Thing - I am persuaded in my heart and my mind, and confident in knowing that because Jesus Christ Rose - He left us The Comforter Whom will remind us of Your New Mercies
Therefore, I fret not and continue on doing good, I earnestly seek you for you are a grantor of the desires of my heart. . . Because you made all things, therefore I rejoice and be glad in This New Thing!
You brought me out of my old and have given me This New - I thank You Father! I must be Your Image in the earth!
I remember The New Thing You Did on The Cross. . . Some may think that is old, but how many know that The Blood Still Is New Every Morning!
