I love the New Year

I love the New Year.

I love the fresh start.

I love the opportunity to put all of the good and bad of the past year behind me b/c God has something new and fresh for me this year.

I love the feeling of the unknown, yet mixed with the feeling that God knows all. There is not one thing that 2012 will bring me (or you) that God doesn't already know about. There will be no curve balls thrown at me this year that will surprise God.

God's promise to me is that as I remain in Him (following Him to the best of my ability), my life will produce much spiritual fruit this year (John 15:5). God's promise to me is that as I remain in Him, and His words remain in me, my prayers are going to make a major difference in my world this year (John 15:7).

I'm actually looking forward to next week's fasting and prayer time. I believe God is going to use it to sharpen the spiritual 'axe' of many of us who have allowed the edge to wear down on our spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible study, fellowship, sharing Christ, etc.

I believe the word God gave us back in November…this is the season of more than enough…and the supernatural! Amen.

What's the new year mean to you?

John 15  ⁵ "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸ This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
