Guest Post: Let the New Arise

Have you ever gone through a season where the story ends badly? Repeating the episode like a broken record?

Replaying the details of what transpired..the Why? How? And most importantly what now?

Well friends, I hope the truth and revelation of this message will encourage, shape and give you direction.

***Stop giving dead situations life, causing it to rebirth, which produces no life***

Sounds contradictory, no? How can a season dealt with and gone be so alive?

Although the outer circumstances have changed; the inner-self has not moved on. Being stuck in our own reality, stagnant, passing day by day, not actually moving at all.

To others, it may seem like we have moved on, and letting life take its course, but inside we are broken, hurt and stuck. How do we let go of this pattern?

[Isaiah 43:19] See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up, do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams and wasteland.

What is interesting to note about this verse is that God is making a new way, and no – not in promotions, and blessings of many types, but in the wilderness, streams, and wasteland! So take courage and know that God is making a way even in your unpleasant seasons, this is where the real work begins.

[James 1: 2-3] Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

This verse may seem easier to read than to apply, but during this season be reminded that God is equipping you to persevere through the testing of your true faith. This is the only way you can be the best you, the one that you were always meant to be.

So going back to our trials and tribulations, yes it may not have changed and truthfully it will not change overnight, but it all starts with the heart and mind.

God has you in this season for a reason, it is not just a series of unfortunate events, but all a part of God’s delicate plan.

Be blessed 🙂
