NEW THINGS I DO DECLARE!!


New Things Do I Declare...! 

Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I tell you of them. Isaiah 42:9 

Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Is. 43:18-19 

If you want what you have never had, do what you have never did. Become new pioneering patterns and progressions in the Spirit. For in Revelation 4:2, John said that He was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. In the original Greek, "He became Spirit." In a higher principle, he became new things in the Spirit, for he heard the voice as a trumpet on the Lord's day, not Saturday or Sunday, but the Day of the Lord, the majesty of a new sound and a new day that was completely the Lord's doing! No man, fish, bird, nor beast, was magnified on this day, only the Lord high and lifted up, and HIS glory filling the temple. Isaiah 6:1-3. There was no resemblance of any creeping or created thing, but the Lord becoming all in all! It is entirely and absolutely HIS day, and in the rhythm of the Spirit not only does this new day arise in us, but in truth we become that new day, the day of the Lord, the revealing glory of God, the multiplied Christ, becoming HIS coming in the earth in corporate glory.

In John 3:6 we paraphrase from the original meaning, "Spirit gives birth to spirit." All in all, the Lord is doing a new thing in us, something new, a new pattern, a new mentality, a new path and portal of life. So instead of bringing in the New year with "Happy New Year," begin by saying one to another, "Happy New YOU!" And don't wait until for January 1st to arrive, for as the proceeding word speaks of "New Things I Declare...You are also declaring a NEW YOU, right now! 

There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture's eye has not seen. The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. Job 28:7-8 

But, God has revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit...1 Corinthians 2:10 

There is a definite path which you and I have not crossed before. There is a new direction, a new journey and course of action that we are now taking in faith, trust, and in HIS rest. There is a new dimension that is saturating our spirit as we become like Abraham, looking forth unto a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God... Hebrews 11:10 

Yes, we are becoming new things in the Spirit for a bold new destiny. We are taking new paths that have not been crossed before.

There is the blowing of the winds of change, the change of the guard, and the passing of the baton. There is the successor being forged out of the so-called failure, there is the vision stirring forth from within the visionary. There is a revelatory substance upon the dreamer that cometh...And beloved, there is the appearance of four living creatures, a four-faced ministry, the process of the four gospels emerging through the fire and amber of Ezekiel 1 {The man, lion, ox, and eagle, or Mark, Matthew, Luke, John}, the four colors of Moses' tabernacle {Blue Purple, Scarlet, and Fine Twined Linen.

For in Ezekiel 10, there again is mentioned the four living creatures in the likeness of the wheel, the wheel in the midst or middle of the wheel. But this time, a change of features. For we have the man, the lion, and the eagle, but where is the OX? 

Well, it has been elevated into the Cherub, and the Cherub is mentioned first in Ezekiel 10:14. The Ox speaks of the burden bearer, the Son of man that gave his life. It may speak of endurance, and carrying the load. But, in all of it's faithfulness, in all of its serving qualities, in divine wisdom and timing, the Lord changes the appearance from an OX to a Cherub, as the Cherub speaks of the exaltation and honor of the Lord upon the featured characteristic of the ox. 

As we speak prophetically many of you have suffered long beloved, and you have endured. You have been tested with every test imaginable. You have bore the brunt of much criticism, and have experienced much pain. You have carried in the past many loads and have been dumped upon as a burden, but you would not complain. You have faced death and felt like dying {or giving up}. But now, the Lord is dealing with your OX, and is changing it with the Cherub. He is changing the way you perceive yourself {Ruth 1:20, "Don't call me Naomi, call me Mara or bitter"}. He is giving you a new divine sense of imagination {Imaginary figure = Cherub}, to look beyond your pain, your tears, and your labor. He is bringing a paradigm shifting to your mentality from below to above!

You may have felt like a burden, a mere laborer, someone who is sometimes or oftentimes taken for granted and unnoticed. But the Lord is honoring and favoring you with a new face, a new character, and a new image {HAPPY NEW YOU}.

You have passed the test of a man, the test of a lion, and lo, here comes the Cherub, which is defined in the Hebrew as "an imaginary figure." Here, it is the realm of imagination, above the mercy seat revealing the glory of the two Cherubim, Husband and Wife, Word and Spirit, Apostle and Prophet, Priest and King, Christ and His Body, elders and local flock, Lion and Lamb, Purpose and Destiny.  

The imaginary figure {Hebrew - Cherub} is the revelation of a higher dimension, a higher consciousness, not alone a life perceived only through bearing burdens and enduring trials on earth. Here, it is the mentality of riding upon the high places of the earth and feeding from the heritage of Jacob the transformed man into Israel {He shall rule as God}. It is the NEW MAN that is moving away from the pull of the terrestrial sphere. For the Cherub here is a mentality that becomes an open heaven, transforming your OX and all of your labor into the reward of the Lord, taking you into the heavenly perspective that your labor beloved, is not in vain in the Lord.

Yes, yes, and a thousand times yes, The Lord has not forgotten you. He is changing you from the inside out to become a new pattern, path, and pioneering progression, a whole new _expression with a new name, a new face, a new meaning, a new characteristic in Him. No, it does not mean that the ox has been eradicated, but exalted, magnified, and risen up into new abounding heights, acknowledged of the Lord as having well done.

The OX becomes the Cherub, as the Lord is rewarding us in our labor in HIM, for we have moved passed duty to devotion.The OX becomes a Cherub, and it's time to fly and to soar in new abounding heights into the glorious majesty of HIS kingdom¦

O beloved, New Things I declare unto you! New patterns, progressions, paths, pursuits, and pioneering dimensions I declare unto YOU! A new heart and a new spirit, according to Ezekiel 36:26. A new wine {Isaiah 65:5} and a new song {Psalms 96:1; 98:1}. A new man {Ephesians 2:15} and a new name {Revelation 3:12}. A new heaven and a new earth {Isaiah 65:17; 66:22}, a New Jerusalem out of you! {Revelation. 21-22} 

By a new and living way which he has consecrated for us...Hebrews 10:20

All things ARE BECOME NEW 2 Corinthians 5:17

The Birthing of Christ in You.




Christ - Mas - The Birthing Of Christ

We all know that Dec. 25 is not the day Jesus was born. Although most Christians celebrate December 25 as the birthday of Jesus Christ, few in the first two Christian centuries claimed any knowledge of the exact day or year in which he was born.

In this article I will not focus on that but,

I would like to reflect on the wonderfully familiar story about how Mary received the Word and "brought forth the Son into the WORLD." Her supernatural encounter with the Heavenly brought the personal stigma of having what was then viewed as an illegitimate child. This Child inside of her was the Living WORD.

In much that same way, we must intimately bring forth the Word into this WORLD. The Holy Spirit hovers over us. Surely, you know that you conceive and incubate His Word so that you will bring forth His living plan into this world. And, once again, the world will view our actions as illegitimate and unacceptable according to their understandings.

This conception of the Word IN YOU won't be accomplished through some rote confession or formula. John 5:39-40 says, "You search the scriptures... but you are not willing to come to Me that you may have LIFE." Only the impregnation of the synchronized power of heavenly intention within our human spirit brings forth the evidence of God. Even the wise men from the Far East (magicians from afar), searched the heavens to find guidance toward the birthplace of the coming Christ. They rightly interpreted the directions to follow the glowing light of one particular star to find Jesus.

The Day Star can be seen arising once again -- this time it is in OUR HEART (2 Pet. 1:19). This star gives those who search a glimpse of how to get to the place where the heavens speak. It urges them to follow the star until we can unwrap the man-child from His swaddling clothes.
We hear the angels singing, "What child is this?" It is the Christ birthed IN US -- what a wonder! For the whole world longs with eager and longing anticipation (Rom. 8:19) to look into the eyes of the corporate son and see the radiating Divine LIKENESS in that reflection.

Paul described how he labored by "suffering BIRTH pangs until CHRIST (the anointed chosenness of God) would be (or is) completely and permanently formed (molded) within you." (Gal. 4:19 AMP).

We are like Mary in this way. The Word becomes birthed IN US. We become one with Him. The Holy Ghost intercedes with sighs beyond words as He is delivered. We are brought through the veil and into the New Day.

This great MYSTERY of cosmic proportions continues to unveil before us at this moment. The bells toll, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" A child, a child, sleeping in the night - He will bring us goodness and light. The child is growing up!

We receive LIGHT that reveals the present manifest revealing of the Christ-like (huios, grown up) sons of God.

This concept was so mis-understood in previous generations that most are very weary of considering it again. But, the truth is, all of creation is still waiting (Rom. 8:19-22) for this BIRTHING of CHRIST within a people - it is the transfiguration of the Body of Christ.

 "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest IN HIS SAINTS." "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” Romans 8:19,Col. 1:26,1 Cor. 15:51

The restructuring and conversion of all creation continually waits for us to stop acting and looking like the world and start acting and looking LIKE CHRIST.

The formation of CHRIST (the nature of the One Who smears with anointing) IN US quickens our mortal body and raises us from the grave of death and into effectiveness. CHRIST-ians show forth the "GLORY" of God that becomes visibly expressed LIGHT. That means we replicate the inward Christ-like nature (LIKENESS, character, and intention) of Jesus on earth today - in an outward manner. Christ IN US the hope of GLORY (Col. 1:27).

THE SECOND and opposing mystery is the MYSTERY OF LAWLESSNESS or the Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:5-8). This principle is the ANTITHESIS (opposite) to Christ (the Anointed choseness) IN US.

It is the spirit of anti-Christ (that which is AGAINST THE ANOINTING of CHRIST being revealed). Anti (instead, against, not toward, opposing) Christ (the anointed choseness of God) IN US.

Notice that this lawlessness is NOT called "Anti-Jesus," but "Anti-Christ." Anti-Christ (instead of anointing) consists of anything that opposes the anointing or resists those who walk in the LIKENESS of the Anointed One (Matt. 12:32).

Anti-Christ could be any intellectual theology without Divine igniting. It opposes the birthing of CHRIST within a people.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 tells us that Jesus will overthrow and uncover this mystery of lawlessness with the breath of His mouth and He will destroy lawlessness by the SPLENDOR OF HIS APPEARING. This word "splendor" is epithania, from which we derive our word "epiphany." This splendor is "a shining forth of the coming of Lord, and the Glory of Jesus as lightning seen from east to the west."

In view of His appearing (epiphany, SHINING FORTH) - (we) preach the gospel (2 Tim. 4:1 MSG). AN EPIPHANY is a sudden and striking awareness (en-LIGHT-ening) of the crucial significance of a truth.

The epiphany (or radiating grandeur of His glowing appearance) is further explained in 2 Timothy 1:9b-10, "This grace WAS GIVEN US in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has NOW BEEN REVEALED through the APPEARING (the glorious OUTSHINING) of our Savior, who has destroyed death and has (already) brought LIFE and IMMORTALITY to LIGHT through the gospel." We don't have to wait. The light of God is REVEALED TO US, and IN US, THROUGH US and AS Us.- in this ever present NOW.

Merry Christmas!!
