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
