Daring To Believe For Something "NEW"

[Albert Finch]

Our cry for a fresh experience of God is at the core of being open to believe for something NEW.

Brick by brick, life by life, God is creating a kingdom, a "spiritual house" (1 Peter 2:5).
The Holy Spirit gives assignments to people, "to each according to each one's uinique ability (Matthew 25:15). As He calls, He equips. To discover this assignment we must be open to something NEW.

We have an uncommon call to an uncommon life. "The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others" (1 Corinthinas 12:7). We are to "Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you" (2 Timothy 1:6)

We have build up in our reasoning faculties lots of support for not being convinced that NEW things can happen, even if we deeply want them to.

Newness is always possible to those who believe--I must believe God is working a NEW work in me.

New things require a NEW language. Our self talk draws us closer or drives us further from experiencing NEW things.

re-NEWED in the knowledge after the image if Him that created me. (Col 3:10)

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparable great power for us who believe. (Ephesians 1:18,19).

Christ in me is the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
Since Christ is in me, I have the power to help others with their spiritual needs. Galatians 1:16).
