MALACHI 3:16 (NKJV)
16 THEN THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD SPOKE TO ONE ANOTHER, AND THE LORD LISTENED AND HEARD THEM; SO A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM FOR THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD AND WHO MEDITATE ON HIS NAME.
ISAIAH 43:18-19 (NKJV)
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.
A day of remembrance has come upon My body and they will remember each and every day like it was just yesterday. I say remember the former things of old no more… for I am doing a brand new thing this day and this hour.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but I deliver them out of them all. All those things that you have been enduring for the past decade will all of a sudden be no more… for I am bringing about a brand new thing and this brand new will erase the old.
PSALM 34:19 (NKJV)
19 MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL.
Where do wars and rumor of wars come from? Where do divisions come from? Mostly because you always remember the former things and you will not let go of them and move forward in Me.
Transparency is what I have already called you into; but even still you keep remembering former things and will not move into the new.
This new thing will surprise many and this new thing will bring about the healing of the nations. This new thing will surely cause you to forget the things of old and allow you to move forward in Me.
This new thing will bring forth total resurrection to My body… and it will not be as of the days of old. When those around about look at My body they will say: surely they have stood in the presence of the Almighty king and surely they have been resurrected from the dead. And you… you will feel like there was no yesterday and all you will look forward to is what is going to happen the next day and the next day and the next day.
Where am I taking you? Good question! I am taking you where others feared to tread. I am taking you into the unknown. I am taking you where feet have never trod before. I am taking you where many cannot go… because of their lack of trust and enthusiasm in me.
Children… forget the things of old… set your eyes upon Me… and never ever… ever… ever want what you used to have… for what I am bringing you into will bring many to their knees and will show the entire world that I am alive and well.
Since when have I ever asked you to live in your yesterdays? Since when have I ever said… if you stay in this day… I will bless you beyond measure? Since when did I ever… ever ask you to stop dead in your tracks and die on the vine? Since when?
Many… many new things are being brought out into the open… and they will startle those who would not open their eyes and see Me as I truly am. I am an astute Father… and I am a Father of love… I am a Father of war… and a Father of pleasure… I am all that you have need of… and I am about my business.
Before my Son was… was there massive healings across the land? Before my Son was… was there new found joys?
Let’s take a stance in Me right now and understand that I never… ever allow anyone or anything to become rancid. I am always about new things. I am always about bringing all things up higher and I am always about doing the impossible.
On that note… let’s talk about the impossible. What is the impossible anyway? Is it not something that you cannot do on your own? Isn’t it something that no matter how hard you try… it is never accomplished? Take a new found soul for instance… how do they get saved? Do they just walk into salvation; or is there a thing they have to do or is there something that has to be accomplished through another?
Salvation was brought about by way of the cross. The salvation message was not taught until My Son came on the scene. Does not My word tell you why My Son came to earth? Then why do you marvel at what goes on around about you?
JOHN 9:39 (NKJV)
39 AND JESUS SAID, “FOR JUDGMENT I HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD, THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE MAY SEE, AND THAT THOSE WHO SEE MAY BE MADE BLIND.”
MATTHEW 5:17-18 (NKJV)
17 “DO NOT THINK THAT I CAME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS. I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY BUT TO FULFILL.
18 FOR ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE WILL BY NO MEANS PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL IS FULFILLED.
MATTHEW 9:13 (NKJV)
13 BUT GO AND LEARN WHAT THIS MEANS: ‘I DESIRE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE.’ FOR I DID NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS, TO REPENTANCE.”
MATTHEW 10:34 (NKJV)
34 “DO NOT THINK THAT I CAME TO BRING PEACE ON EARTH. I DID NOT COME TO BRING PEACE BUT A SWORD.
MATTHEW 18:11 (NKJV)
11 FOR THE SON OF MAN HAS COME TO SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST.
MATTHEW 20:27-28 (NKJV)
27 AND WHOEVER DESIRES TO BE FIRST AMONG YOU, LET HIM BE YOUR SLAVE–
28 JUST AS THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY.”
Come on tough guy… take My challenge tonight to forget the things of old… and become a new man in Me… and move on with Me into this unknown territory that we will explore together. The remnant {are} not afraid to charter new courses. They are not afraid of what might be in the brush. They just forge ahead… destroying everything that tries to block their path to their destination. Remember the cross. Remember the blood of the Lamb. Remember what He said on the cross… {it is finished} He said the old is done and the new has come upon the scene.
How are you ever going to be a giant slayer {if} you are always looking to the latter instead of looking to the former? How will you ever bring in a brand new harvest of believers and how will you ever be a partaker of the cross that My Son bore? Does not My Word say: take up My cross and follow Me? Absolutely! That cross becomes new every morning. That cross will cause all hell to tremble as you take it up… and as you go forth carrying your new assignments.
All hell will not like what you do when your feet hit the floor in the brand new day. All of hell walks in total confusion… and the day you understand that I am not in the old; but in the new… you will tear down the walls of hell… and the captives prison doors will fly open and they will be set free. Did not Peter’s prison doors swing open by My angelic host and did not Peter walk out of that prison unencumbered? Then why do you think I cannot open your prison suddenly and set the captive free… to go forth and do the mighty works that I have called you forth to do.
ACTS 12:5-11 (NKJV)
5 PETER WAS THEREFORE KEPT IN PRISON, BUT CONSTANT PRAYER WAS OFFERED TO GOD FOR HIM BY THE CHURCH.
6 AND WHEN HEROD WAS ABOUT TO BRING HIM OUT, THAT NIGHT PETER WAS SLEEPING, BOUND WITH TWO CHAINS BETWEEN TWO SOLDIERS; AND THE GUARDS BEFORE THE DOOR WERE KEEPING THE PRISON.
7 NOW BEHOLD, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD STOOD BY HIM, AND A LIGHT SHONE IN THE PRISON; AND HE STRUCK PETER ON THE SIDE AND RAISED HIM UP, SAYING, “ARISE QUICKLY!” AND HIS CHAINS FELL OFF HIS HANDS.
8 THEN THE ANGEL SAID TO HIM, “GIRD YOURSELF AND TIE ON YOUR SANDALS”; AND SO HE DID. AND HE SAID TO HIM, “PUT ON YOUR GARMENT AND FOLLOW ME.”
9 SO HE WENT OUT AND FOLLOWED HIM, AND DID NOT KNOW THAT WHAT WAS DONE BY THE ANGEL WAS REAL, BUT THOUGHT HE WAS SEEING A VISION.
10 WHEN THEY WERE PAST THE FIRST AND THE SECOND GUARD POSTS, THEY CAME TO THE IRON GATE THAT LEADS TO THE CITY, WHICH OPENED TO THEM OF ITS OWN ACCORD; AND THEY WENT OUT AND WENT DOWN ONE STREET, AND IMMEDIATELY THE ANGEL DEPARTED FROM HIM.
11 AND WHEN PETER HAD COME TO HIMSELF, HE SAID, “NOW I KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT THE LORD HAS SENT HIS ANGEL, AND HAS DELIVERED ME FROM THE HAND OF HEROD AND FROM ALL THE EXPECTATION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.”
Come now and let us reason together. This is a brand new dispensation of time… and this is a brand new day that has dawned over you… and in this brand new day you will accomplish more for Me than you did all the days of your life.
ISAIAH 1:18 (NKJV)
18 “COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER,” SAYS THE LORD, “THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL.
Hope deferred makes one grow weary. You have been hoping… but not believing and that is why you stand in awe… looking across the great divide at what I am about to do. I have called you to cross over this great divide into your new day and new dawning and I have not said: stay where you are at.
Where in My Word did I ever say: stay stuck in the mud… I need you to move forward. My Word is all about moving forward into your new day. This new day that is dawning before you holds a brand new future… with a cup of remembrance that will take you all the way into glory.
Since when does My Word say I will never do a new thing? I know history repeats itself; but there are always new things in history. There is always a revolving door that My church walks through. But I want to stop that revolving door this night and I want you to continually move forward never looking back at your past or your past failures.
Let’s talk about that for a moment. Isn’t your past failures where the enemy always wants to take you to? Isn’t that what he is forever holding up before you like a great big neon sign? I want you to knock those lights out and I want you to say… no more… I am not going back there with you devil… I am on a forward roll and I am determined to stay on that roll with My Jesus.
Here we are children. We are at the cross roads of regret. We are at the cross roads of passing over… never to remember the former things of old. Who says we need to live in our past mistakes. We are never to live in our past mistakes; but we are to move forward and our motto will be onward and upward. Paul told you to move on… Paul told you to count it all joy… no matter what your circumstances. He did not say cry… wail… and moan about where you were at. He said count it all joy.
Children, I am imploring you to count the past all joy and understand like Joseph finally did… that it was I that had you in your past circumstances… it was I that led you through your maze of bewilderment… and it was I that brought you to this point in the juncture of the road and… it is I that wants to lead you onward in this new found journey.
My people… there are a multitude of confused… wayward souls out there that have never had the opportunity to move forward. They are stuck betwixt and between standing in total bewilderment and wondering… why! Will you be the bridge of hope for them? Will you be the one that will say as Paul did… I count it all joy!
The door has been slung wide open and many… many are standing in the valley of decision and… many more will follow as you take up your cross and follow Me daily. The future looms bright before My fellow servants… and My Son stands with open arms waiting to lead you onward and upward.
My Holy Spirit will teach you as you go along the way. The angelic host will be there to assist and even defeat every battle you come in contact with. There is nothing but victory before you. Are you not tired of defeat after defeat? Are you not weary of always having the enemy have his way in your life? Then take up your cross and follow Me.
You say follow you where? Does it really matter? My word just says: follow me! It does not lay out a road map before you. I am waiting for your total surrender to Me and then and only then will you see clearly what lies before you. The victory shout is in the atmosphere and it is just waiting for you to shout and move forward. Shout My children… shout like never before. Know this day that the latter is passed away and the former is here. Know that I and all of heaven rejoices at every soul that is brought into the Kingdom of Light and joy.
What did I tell Peter in My Word? Did I not say another would gird him and carry him where he did not wish?
JOHN 21:18 (NKJV)
18 MOST ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, YOU GIRDED YOURSELF AND WALKED WHERE YOU WISHED; BUT WHEN YOU ARE OLD, YOU WILL STRETCH OUT YOUR HANDS, AND ANOTHER WILL GIRD YOU AND CARRY YOU WHERE YOU DO NOT WISH.”
I am saying to you this night… come follow Me into the unknown world of miracles. When you finally decide to follow Me… the blinded eyes will be opened just as Paul’s were and you will see so clearly. You will understand the great divide that was before you… and you will be like the Israelite children… and you will cross over the red sea on foot and you will stand on the river’s bank and watch Me destroy all of your enemies so you can go forward and fret no more.
Peace and longsuffering pave the way for you to walk the path that I have before you. Joy and love will abound on all sides and you will shout {joy}. Your voices will resound in the corridors of hell as you shout {victory} with all of your might.
Ho, everyone who thirsts come drink and you will thirst no more. I am the living stone and… I am the rock you can drink from and… I am the true vine that will nourish you. I am your all and all and as I was with Moses; I will be with you. Moses knew My resurrecting power. He knew what it was to move on not knowing where he was going. He moved forward always knowing that I would be with him.
How about David? Did he not just move when I told him to move? Did he not stand still when I told him to stand still when all odds were against him? Yes, he did those things and they are written as a remembrance for you to follow… knowing that the same sufferings your fellow brothers suffered… you also will suffer. Did not My Son Jesus suffer? Did He not complete His walk with me? Did He not forgive those who hung Him on the cross… even as He was still hanging on the cross? Did He grow bitter in well doing? Absolutely not!
Now little ones forget the former things of old and move into the new. What you are leaving behind is nothing compared to what you are entering into.
This night… right now… I am blowing away all the chaff and I am bringing you forward as a brand new you. I will remember the former things no more; for the new will take you over and there will be no room for the old.
All of you that are here tonight. I say unto you look unto the hills that are white to harvest. I say no longer look to your past and even this second I say look up and move upward in Me and move on with Me… knowing that I will be with you and I will lead you by the still waters and I will always be just a whisper away.
Come My beloved ones… move on with Me tonight… I want to wipe your slate clean… do you want your slate wiped clean? Do you want to walk out of the old and move on into the new? I am not standing afar off. Tonight… right now… I am standing in your midst and I am saying… come… it is a resounding… come… and all of hell is shivering and quaking waiting for your answer. I am freeing the prisoners tonight. Do you want to walk through your prison door unscathed by the old? It is entirely up to you… I am calling… are you responding?
Come let us reason together this night and let us remember this night of the old no more… for all things are being made brand new and all things are yes and amen. Come! I am calling right now! Come unto me all who are burdened and heavy laden and I will surely give you rest. Come… let this be your new day of remembrance in Me… old things are passing away and all things are brand new… come! Come away My beloved ones… come into the brand new and weep no more. Who can say what I will do in this brand new hour of surrender!
