Old Things have Left the Building!
2 Corinthians 5:17 TNIV • “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
I have been following Jesus Christ since April 5, 1984. January 27, 2010 I will become another year older, as a matter of fact I will turn 46. In the past I think God has made some BIG changes in my life. And I think God is still changing me and I think God wants to see some more change “new is here!” I have made some new years resolutions in the past of hopes of seeing some change, some change I have kept for a while others things did not change or not last long at all. I have learned I do NOT have the power to make changes in my life or make the change last. I know by saying that some people would probably say that’s lazy or it sounds like you are making excuses.
Renewal is rooted in faith, not in resolutions! I cannot make a new me or a new u, but Christ can make you new and me new. (via @KayWarren1) from twitter.
I think Kay Warren is right and renewal is rooted in faith and the work of the Holy Spirit is the supernatural power that changes us through – DISCIPLINE. Not that our discipline changes anything but we have to become DISCIPLINED about the change. I have been praying for a while about some areas I think God wants to change in my life. And for me I feel like it has come down to just being obedient to God or not, so I’m going to jot some of this down in my blog for some accountability.
Really it’s between God and me, but I also believe some of these are things maybe I have tried to not to pay attention to in the past or have hoped to that they might go away. Maybe laying it all on the table would allow me to become completely obedient to the work of the Holy Spirit in my life in 2010.
So I will be blogging about some of the change that I’m praying for God to do in 2010 in my life, family and ministry, in the following weeks as well as other God stuff and life. And I have faith it will happen and the old things will leave the building!
God please do a NEW work in me!
