Have you ever wondered why the promise of a “new year” sends people into a frenzy of making promises or vows? I have and as a result, Father is yet teaching me not to allow the emotion, excitement or promise of a new year mess up today – this exact moment for change that is standing before me NOW. The promise of a new year is completely and exclusively in the hands of Father for the true believer.
This promise does not guarantee anything, except that He will be with us – moving, guiding, directing and pushing us forward every step of the way. It also doesn’t remove those things in one’s life that hindered last year’s progress. Until Father’s given full authority to move on our behalf in every way — including identifying, confessing, repenting and breaking into pieces those hindrances – all those blocks that prevents the author from truly walking in the newness or “promise” of a new season will still be there.
Prophetic writers (and this article is only for you), we cannot afford to take the carnal, fleshly approach to anything. A work released from the apostolic Kingdom of Heaven into the earth must be guided in the earth by the prophetic demonstration of the word through Father to fulfill its assignment. Everything you do in connection with that assignment is critical.
