88: Seeking Restoration

 It’s A New Season

 

“New” can be defined in various ways.  As an adjective, it can mean:

1.   Recently created, or having started to exist recently (now); or

2.   Different to the one that existed earlier; or

3.   Not yet familiar or experienced; or

4.   Not previously used or owned; or

5.   Recently discovered; made known.

An adjective is a word that describes, or tells us more about, a noun (a person, place, thing, event, day (time), …).  In this series of conversations, You, as a person, are the noun we’re talking about. Your soul (and its destination) is the place we shall explore. Your life, is the thing we shall describe.  Your transformation is the event we shall celebrate. And Your season is the day (time) we are moving in right now.

“Newness” is the quality of being new or original.  After accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, born of water and the Spirit (John 3:5-6), the Bible confirms in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. You, dearly beloved, are a new creation; an original, a one of kind, no other like you copy of God’s image on earth.  Would you like to celebrate that together?  That’s exactly what we’re going to do in this “It’s a New Season” blog series.


It’s time to “dance like David”, I mean get ecstatically (filled and rolling over) joyful in the Lord for how far He’s brought you up to now.  The tears may still fall, the scars may still be open, but we are going to intentionally stop that flow and be healed once and for all, for “It’s A New Season”—a new time, a new day; and you must prophesy into your life how you want to live the rest of your life: Victorious!

Israel and New Breed’s song New Season sings worship to our Lord for the newness I pray to share with you at the top of 2021.  Please purchase that song and replay it throughout this year. 

Newness is a noun in different forms: as in a person (you), in a place (your soul’s destiny), of a thing (your life), an event (your transformation), a day (today, your season).  Newness also means RESTORATION.  Plant this word deep into your soul because this is what “It’s A New Season” blog series is all about.  We are going to travel boldly into it, uproot and remove the weeds choking it, clear the land and make room for building up the new life—the restored life—that is meant for us in Jesus Christ. 

This is not a journey for the weak.  Put on God’s Armor (Ephesians 6:10-18), keep bearing His Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and let’s walk by faith and not by sight. 

We have an awesome task to complete in this season. Please prepare your body, soul, and spirit this week with the scriptures indicated above. See you next week.

 New Season1

It’s a new season, it’s a new day

A fresh anointing is flowing my way

It’s a season of power and prosperity

It’s a new season coming to me.
