"STEPPING INTO A NEW SEASON"

 

Isaiah 43:18-19: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. (19) See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. (NIV)

 

I've used this Scripture in the past but the Lord reminded me of it again this week. This week I've included a prophetic word that was released by Chuck Pierce this week. It's a very powerful, on time, accurate word in my opinion. Read it and be encouraged this week!

 

 

Chuck D. Pierce: "I Have Stepped You Into a New Season"

 

Last Sunday (March 3, 2013) the Spirit of the Lord moved so powerfully during our service. Barbara Wentroble and I heard the Lord say:

 

"Take a sigh and take a time [to pause], and say that a sigh of relief is rising within you. For you have come head-on in days past, and you thought you would be overtaken, but I say, 'Now sigh the sigh of relief.' If you will sigh the sigh of relief then I will come down and energize you in a new way.

 

"For just as the falls of a raging river are flowing, and you have said in the past, 'I don't know how to get across that river,' I say I am stretching a tightrope. And don't even fear getting on the tightrope, for you will walk across that tightrope with the waters raging under you, and you will find yourself on the other side of your mess in a new victory.

 

"For even as the children of Israel came to the Jordan, know it was in a time of flood, know that it was in a time of devastation, and know it was in a time when there seemed to be no way. But know that I'm your God and I always make a way. For did I not say I would give you a way of escape? And I say in this season you're going to enjoy seeing the way of escape that I make for you. Do not look at the way I caused you to escape in the past, for I have stepped you into a new season.

"You're going to laugh with Me at the enemy - to think that he could stop My people. In the day of flooding, in the day of that seems to be devastation, know I say it is a day of revelation. For you're not going to be devastated, but you're going to have the revelation that I'm bringing you. And you shall sing your way into the new place in this new season. So rise up in this hour; enjoy this that I am doing. For I'm going to cause you to laugh at your enemy [for him] to think that he could stop you.

 

"I have invisible lines that the enemy cannot see - these lines you can walk on and these doors that you can go through, that the enemy is blinded to. Fear not taking the step and continuing on in the way that I'm calling you, for victory is already ahead, on your behalf!"

Say "GOODBYE" to an Old Form of Provision and Receive New Provision!

 

As I got up this morning (March 10, 2013) and began seeking the Lord, I heard the following that I believe will greatly encourage you:

 

"This is a day of freedom for those who will choose to say goodbye to an old form of provision and security, and who will embrace a journey of unknown expectations and rewards. For I have many new ways for you to have supply. I am creative, for I am the Creator. Therefore, I will show you how to create and gain wealth. I will show you supply that has been hidden.

 

"If you will worship Me, you will see! If you will proceed forth with Me now, you will learn as you go and see Me in new ways. It doesn't matter how old you are, or how set in your ways you are. If you take a step today, I will teach you in a new, fresh way. You will also hear Me in new ways, and the sound you hear will become fresh and directive toward your future. So enter into the freedom that I have for you now, and do not rely on the freedom that you have experienced up until now. Be shod for the path of glory that awaits you today!"

45 Minutes
By Kristen Young 
In this novel, 45 Minutes, you will be taken on a compelling journey of Anthony Michaels' life, which is oddly typical until he faces an encounter with eternity. See yourself through the eyes of the characters as you read about painful life lessons, true forgiveness, answered prayers and the love of God that conquers all.
  
"Kristen's style of writing will capture you and keep you reading as different events take place both spiritually and physically. As you read 45 Minutes, you will see what can possibly happen if we choose to forgive those who have hurt us. You will also see firsthand, that making things right with others before it is too late is a must, no matter what the circumstance." -Steve Lewis-Author
