Building Your Spirit: 1111- New New New New (Happy New Year)

Revelation 21:5 (King James Version)

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, "I make all things new". And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

2011--Its A New Year, A New Day, A New Hour, A New Minute and the beginning of Greatness and Freshness. With the turning of the clock from December 31st to January 1st means the old is gone, and the new has come. It’s a great time to forget those things that are behind, and reach ahead to all of the wonderful things that lie ahead. Thank God for His unfailing love He has shown towards us in bringing us to yet another New Year, may His Holy Name Be Praised Forever and Ever.

God Has Already Done It Ahead of You

Before you started doing anything in 2011, God has already done something’s on your behalf this year. God is always at work and ahead. God is a God who does new things everyday in our lives and His grace always precedes our faith. God is always first. God is already in 2011 and knows your end from the beginning. The end of everything is important than the beginning and its vital that you put your trust in the God of your End, the immortal God, the Everlasting God. May the dawn of this new day fill your mouths with praises and thanksgiving. May today and the days ahead be full of gratitude and appreciation for the things you haven't even seen with your eyes yet, but has seen it with the eye of faith. Today is the day to call on the Lord. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

A Year of Renewed Mind

Romans 12:2 -And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.This transformation of the mind is very important for ``Change” to take place in your soul. The Lord has already done a spiritual transformation in your spirit through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and you need to renew your mind to bring this change to the physical realm. Philipians 4:8 is a great tool for renewing your mind. A renewed mind thinks of things of the Spirit, things which are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report. Make 2011 a year of renewed mind.

Time to Believe is Now.

This very moment is the right time to believe in what the word of God says about you, to believe in all the promises of God which are YES and Amen. Galatians 3:13 says you have been redeemed from every curse of the law, because Christ became a curse for you so that you might become a blessing. No man can curse the one who is blessed of the Lord. It’s not what you’re doing which matters, it’s whether it has the blessing of the Lord, for the blessings of the Lord makes rich and He adds no sorrows with it (Proverbs 10:22).The Lord has made you whole through his death, burial and resurrection! You’re blessed with Abraham’s blessings (Galatians 3:29).You have been set free, blessed of the Lord to do mighty things on the Promised Land. To believe is also to know that every day is a new beginning and that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. Your dream will not die but will come true (Psalm 118:17).Everything is possible for him who believes ( Mark 9:23).

Here are some suggestions for some goals that you can set for the New Year, to start your own new beginnings!

1. Pray – work on developing your personal relationship with Jesus.
2. Read your Bible regularly - discover God's wonderful plan for your life.
3. Serve in your local church and community.

4. Witness – tell other people the good news about Jesus.
5. Pray for the sick – never pass up an opportunity to pray for someone.
6. Get involved in missions – giving financially, praying, or actually going there.
7. Do acts of random kindness - always look for ways to bless other people.
8. Break a bad habit or stop a habitual sin - Get help if you need it.
9. Forgive someone who has hurt or offended you.
10. Work on relationships with others! (2 greatest commands = love God & people)

11. Try cleaning out your personal spaces - closets, cabinets, desks, drawers, garage, basement and gardens. Get rid of old or never worn clothes, household items, toys. If you haven't used something or worn it in a while, let it go. You don't need it anymore. Don’t forget to delete old emails. If you're like me there are hundreds of old emails and messages that need to go. Make room for new information and words of encouragement.

12. Are there people in your life that you may need to let go? Could there be friends and acquaintances that you have held on to that you suspect are not for your highest good? We have all experienced this and while it can be painful we usually see the truth of our decisions in time. We need to be surrounded with positive, affirming "like minded" people who encourage the changes and progress we are making. Release the negative, destructive ones so you can spend less of your energy trying to make those people "fit" into your new life and attitude.
