The word over us this year has been "The Year of the New."
However, if we're honest, it is easy to become cold, nonchalant, and adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards our walk with God when the promises He has spoken are not yet our present reality.
Sometimes it even seems as though the exact opposite of what God said would happen is what we are currently experiencing. When prayers appear unanswered, doors remain closed, and circumstances refuse to align with the prophetic word, discouragement can quietly creep in.
But this is not the time to become cold.
Revelation 3:15–16 says; "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
The "new" that God has spoken over us may look distant from our present realities, but God's promises are ye and Amen.
To enter into the new, there is a need for transformation. Jesus said that new wine cannot be poured into old wine skins. If it is, both the wine and the vessel will be ruined. The issue is not the quality of the wine but the readiness of the vessel.
Likewise, God is concerned not only with what He wants to release but also with who we are becoming in preparation for it.
The new is coming. But are we becoming the kind of vessels that can carry it?
Isaiah 43:19 says; "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?"
Notice that God asks a question... "Shall ye not know it?" This suggests that it is possible for God to be doing a new thing while His people remain unaware because they are not spiritually positioned to perceive it.
This month, our focus is not merely on receiving the new but on becoming prepared for it.
We will examine our hearts, deepen our intimacy with God, strengthen our spiritual disciplines, and allow the Holy Spirit to shape us into vessels fit for the Master's use.
