It’s a new way of living

For so many years I heard a Deacon in my old church say this (It’s a new way of living) saying and never really got the true meaning until today. Sometimes we just hear things and think nothing of them and now it takes meaning in my life forever.  Thought about living for Christ and how I stand as a Christian. Thought about how I am about to be married for the second time and God blessed me and my wife to be in this together. Thought about dealing with children and moving to a place I really don’t know. Just that right there is a new way of living. Leaving my old church home for what God has plans for us to do together, Sister Alissa and Bro’ Merv.  

It reminds me, and I always refer to Abram leaving his kindred and go to where God is telling him to go with his wife Sarai. Now I feel this journey is a launch out in the deep. No crutches, handle bars, family or familiar surroundings are there to help when in trouble. Just to rely upon God and his word even the more.  Faith must spring forth and I must forge on until victory is won in me and Christ being exalted through my life. 

I know there will be many challenges that lie ahead and I must conquer them all. Yet my all is in Christ and he shall direct my paths, going and comings. This is also true that when we become saved under Christ we are new creatures. The old must be the old and the new must become new.  There must be a washing of the filth in order for God to shine through a person.

All washing isn’t bad it just allows you to be seen in a different light as others are opposite of Christ.  Allow the washing of Christ to be a daily process for each day we get closer to God.  Allow the new way of living under Christ be a permanent encounter and not let it become a fad or faze.  

 

When we think of new we think of beginning or starting afresh.  No hindrances’ foretaste has not been used for this is being opened for the first time.  Though we go through trials we will encounter some problems with our own minds thinking we cannot do a thing when God has certainly made plans for us to succeed in his word. This new way of living can only be lead by the Holy Spirit, God and Jesus Christ.  Just think how special Jesus is? He is the only one with that name that can cast out demonic forces and doesn’t need help from us doing it. Wow that is surely a new way of living. 

And if you haven’t had a new way or new wave of living lately get more into God and he will bring you to a place where you will not understand how you got there.  Amen!

God Bless You All
