2017: Happy NEW year! Happy NEW you!



"See, I am doing a new thing! 
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? 
I am making a way in the wilderness 
and streams in the wasteland" 
Isaiah 43:19


In a couple of days 2016 will be ending and a NEW YEAR is coming. For many people, shifting years has no special meaning, but just like shifting SEASONS has an external consequence (leaves fall, flowers bloom, etc.), when years shift, we should be aware and be ready for SOME NEW SEASON in our lives as well.

The neat thing is all our life, all our days are already prepared before we even live any of them! Psalm 139:16 says  "all the days ordained for me were written in your book before any one of them came to be". 

That means: God knows EVERYTHING that is going to happen in 2017 in your life! And He says that He has GOOD PLANS for you (Jer 29:11)! So a smart way to start off this next year is simply asking the Lord about His plans for you. He knows everything and it is his desire that we may live ALL THE GOOD (NEW) THINGS He has ahead for us! 

The year 2017 will be a year of ACCOMPLISHMENTS; of CHANGES, for the LORD will cause NEW THINGS to SPRING UP in our lives. All through the bible numbers have specific meanings. The number 17 in the bible symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory": God overcame the sins of humans when he began to flood the earth through rain on the 17th day of the second Hebrew month. Jesus gained a complete victory over death and the grave when God resurrected him near sunset on the 17th of the month of Nisan (April).

So get ready for NEW THINGS. If through the past years you have struggled with enemies (addictions, illnesses, finantial and relationship issues), BE CONFIDENT that Jesus has overcome ALL these enemies and conquered FULL VICTORY so that WHOEVER BELIEVES may live a life of peace, prosperity, health and joy! Welcome changes in your life! These changes concerne not only EXTERNAL THINGS, but also things INSIDE OF YOU... causing you to live confident and see things from a different perspective. CHANGES are coming. Inside and out! Expect them to happen! For Jesus is faithful and will surprise you by making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland!
SOMETHING FRESH 
IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE!
simply believe it!





Happy NEW YOU in this NEW YEAR!

Learning to manage time...

To every thing there is a season,  and a time to every purpose under the heaven... Ecclesiastes 3:1  Nowadays one of people´s greatest excuses is: "I don´t have time". But it really amazes me  how that Jesus seemed to have time to every little and big thing as he walked on earth! It is interesting to think that, besides all the daily concerns people normally have (working, making the bed, doing the dishes, being with family...), Jesus was here on earth as GOD as well, so we could sum up some more  concerns there!  YET, he was not moved by schedules, but by love and compassion.  When Jesus saw her, He felt great compassion for her,  and said to her, “Do not weep.”  Luke 7:13 It amazes me how that he would manage his agenda. A number of times we read passages showing that he made his communion with the Father his priority! The success of the rest of the day depended on this time of his day.  Very early in the morning, while it was still dark,

Taking delight in God´s will...

Image
I often wondered why it seemed to be so hard for us to accept God´s will.  Thinking about this, two things come to my mind: 1) Most of the time we are convinced that our own plans are the BEST way to attain our goals, to reach that place of peace and happiness; 2) We are not aware of God´s LOVE and the fact that every bit of His will has its root in HIS DEEP LOVE towards us. We have been deceived by being led to think that God only displays his will in order to mess up with our own plans. Submitting to his will often sounds like we are being nulyfied; it is usually not taken as a reason for joy, but for sorrow. BUT all that is NOT even close to THE TRUTH about God´s will for our lives. Again: we must remember that ALL HIS WILL IS ROOTED IN HIS DEEP LOVE FOR US!... We are HIS CHILDREN and every good father´s will is to do ALL HE CAN in order to cause his child to live an ABUNDANT LIFE, to prosper in ALL their ways and to be HAPPY.  So everything starts with t

Being a living magnet: attracting good things...

Surely goodness and mercy  shall follow me all the days of my life...  Psalm 23:6 One of the greatest issues in our hearts is doubting. It is like we KNOW in a way that God is good and He blesses us in many ways but we usually see it as a matter of SEASONS. There are seasons when we are happy, healthy, blessed... others not so! and this causes us not to be so SURE that things will be alright all the time .  But king David, even after facing great hardships (riots, persecution, betrayals), he would NOURISH one THOUGHT in his heart: THE ASSURANCE that God´s goodness and love would follow him ALL THE DAYS of his life. The only weapon against doubt is assurance. So we can always fight doubts in our hearts by simply declaring "SURELY his goodness and mercy will follow me"... We also see the prophet Isaiah teaching us such truth concerning our health (physical and emotional):  -Surely- he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows... (Isaiah 53:4)
