See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:19
The Bible says that God wants to pour out ¡°His Far and beyond favor¡± for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). God wants this to be the best season of your life. But if you want to receive this favor, you must enlarge your vision in the Kingdom of God. You can¡¯t go around thinking negative, defeated, limiting thoughts. ¡° Well, I can¡¯t make it, I can¡¯t handle such a big matter.¡± With that defeated mentality and attitudes, it is not possible to achieve any goals or dreams in your life.
To experience God¡¯s immeasurable favor, we should start expecting His Blessings in His Kingdom. We must perceive them in our heart and mind before we can receive it by seeking for God'Kingdom. If we will make room for blessings in our own thinking in the Kingdom of God, God will bring those things to pass. But God will not pour fresh, creative ideas and blessings into old attitudes which is defeated and negative attitudes.
When Jesus wanted to encourage His followers to enlarge their visions, He warned them, ¡°You can¡¯t put new wine into old wineskins¡±(Mt 9:17). Jesus was saying that you cannot have a larger life with restricted vision. That lesson still applies today. The good news is, God wants to fill your life with ¡°new wine.¡± God wants to give you new ¡°wineskins,¡± new concepts, in which to contain it. But you must be willing to get rid of your old wineskins by having a new perspective in the Kingdom of God. Start thinking bigger in His Kingdom. Enlarge your vision and get rid of the old negative mind-set that holds you back by looking at the Heavenly Father.
God says, ¡°See, I am doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it?¡± Today, God is ready to do a new thing in your life. It pleases Him to test you, to see if you¡¯ll trust Him; He wants you to grow more in Christ¡¯s likeness. But remember, we should make a room for God to bless us by keeping trust in the Lord. He is going to work ahead of us and for us. It¡¯s time to enlarge our vision for a deeper life in Christ today.
Yes,we must get rid of the negative mind-set, the old wineskins, based on earthly prosperity so we can experience the new mind-set, the new wine, based on spiritual prosperity in the Kingdom of God.
