The Lord says:
"This is the time for a shift to the new! There is a shifting taking place in the spiritual realm. Move and flow with My time and season. There is even a shifting of mindsets and a shifting of how My people begin to see and understand things. This is the time to walk away from the past that has bound you, and walk into the many new and greater things that I have prepared for you!"
The word 'shift' in our context here can mean 'a change of direction in life, a change of perspective in life, or a change of priority in life'. It can also mean 'the start of a new season in life, or the start of a new chapter in life'.
Indeed, there is a shifting taking place right now. A shifting to the better in your life!
A new chapter is unfolding for your life! A new page is unfolding for your life!
This is the time to walk into it!
In Ezekiel 36:25-27, the Lord says: "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."
Even though these verses are meant as God's promises and blessings for Israel, but in our context today, these verses can also apply to you and I. Why? Because we are God's people and God's beloved too!
This is the time and season that the Lord is putting new things into your life! Today, the Lord has spoken clearly, that something has started to change in your life! Change to the better, of course! Receive this by faith!
Interestingly, the word 'statutes' here in Ezekiel 36:27 is 'choq' in Hebrew, and this word can mean 'appointments, instructions, decrees, commands'. As you begin to receive the newness from the Lord and the refreshing in your spirit, and as you begin to walk according to His instructions and blueprints for your life, you will also begin to walk into new appointments that are being set up by the Lord for you. Yes, new appointments, divine appointments, that will open up new opportunities and new things for you! Even new friendships and new open doors!
In Ezekiel 36:34-36, the Lord says: "The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. So they will say, 'This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.' Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it."
Even though these verses are, again, meant for Israel, but these verses can also apply to you too.
Whatever 'desolation', 'barrenness', or 'ruins' that you have experienced in your past, that's past. Let all these go. Let go of whatever mistake and sin in your past. Let go of whatever that has held you back from moving forward to the new. Let go of those hurts. Let go of those unforgiveness. Let go of those regrets. Let go of those bitterness. Yes, even let go of the envy or jealousy that you may have regarding somebody else. Open that prison doors, and let them go.
Yes, even let go of all your burdens to the Lord.
Today, the Lord is planting new seeds in your life! You shall begin to see new things. You shall begin to see better things. You shall begin to see all these coming forth in your life. You shall shift even from barrenness to fruitfulness. Remember the word 'shift' today. The shift that the Lord is doing right now in your life! Yes, a shift to the better!
So, beloved, don't miss out what God is doing in your life right now. This is your time to walk out of your 'ruins' and 'desolations'! This is your time to walk into the many new things that God has in store for you! Don't look back. Don't linger in that past, whatever that past may be. There is a whole new world waiting for you. There is a whole new world of new things ahead of you. Take this step of faith to the new, just as what prophet Ezekiel had prophesied in Ezekiel 36!
Indeed, the best is still to come for you!
