One of my favorite scriptures from the New Testament is 2 Corinthians 5:17, which says "Therefore If any man (woman) be in Christ, (s)he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Wow! What a way to ease into 2011. Brothers and Sisters, whatever you've resolved or purposed in your heart to do in 2011, take time to think on this verse.
Because we are in Christ, he's our adopted big brother, you know -- we are new creatures. We are tangible proof of the transforming power of God. From here on out ALL things are become brand new. I hope that you caught that. ALL things are become brand new, not will have become brand new, not became brand new, but rather right here in THIS moment are brand new. If you do the same thing, you'll yield the same results. Even if your resolutions are the same ones from last year, and the year before, you are brand new. One of my Facebook friends posted this as a status on yesterday "I am walking under an open heaven in 2011." That just blessed me so much.
In this new year, the Apostle Paul reminds us that "all the promises of God in him (Christ) are yea and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." I declare to you that the very works of your hands will be blessed in 2011. You will walk in a new sense of revelatory glory and anointing for the next twelve months and beyond. There will be trying times in the coming year, just as there were in 2010, but we must be strengthened and fortified realizing that all things work together for the good for those that love God and are called according to his purpose. I resolve that God, through the Holy Spirit will Grant us wisdom and courage for the facing of this hour and the living of these days.
Peace,
Karsten
