Expect the New Now by Lonnie Mackley Lonnie Mackley Ministry ISA 42:9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." ... REV 3: 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. Many of you who are nearing the end of your wilderness are going to start seeing God get rid of the old, and bring in the new in order to restore you and to get you fully sufficient and ready to enter this final harvest with everything that you need to be truly successful. The key phrase to remember here is; "Expect the new now". Also, expect previously closed doors to begin to start opening up for you once again. The way had to be blocked in the past because you and others were not yet ready to go forward together; but now you have reached a place of better maturity and readiness where God has made you and them safe enough in order to send you forward to walk in true harmony together. ISA 49:21 Then you will say in your heart, `Who bore me these? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up? I was left all alone, but these--where have they come from?' " PS 68:6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. There will be particular older relationships that will be miraculously resurrected from the dead and granted grace; some for the first time. And there will be other relationships that you will be healed from and assisted in letting go of for good this time. God knew that certain relationships were not healthy for you or others in the past, but circumstances have changed where restoration has finally become possible for you in the here and now. Many of you will be getting new relationships where you will be parenting the spiritually parentless. Your life may have looked and felt very barren up to this point, but now you will by God's grace and power, have families that will come out of nowhere. PR 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. PS 68:9 You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance. Be willing to sift through and pick up your old dead dreams from the rubble and dust them off and set them back on display where they belong once again. Try to look back at God's heart to prepare, develop, and purify you; rather than at all you think you have lost and sacrificed. God is the God that brings new life from utter lifelessness, so trust Him to resurrect anything that needs to be brought back to life in your world. Instead of looking behind you now, look ahead because many of those old things and people will actually be waiting for you up ahead, and not behind you. This is not a time to continue to mourn over what has died, it is a time to rejoice over what will be brought back to life. ISA 57:15 For this is what the high and lofty One says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. RU 1:20 "Don't call me Naomi, " she told them. "Call me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter. 21 I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The LORD has afflicted me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me." Naomi had some big losses and setbacks, but God later brought new life and vigor back to her, and He can do the same for you. Though you may feel old, broken, wrecked, and spent right now; trust God to bring all the new things that you need in order to flourish once again. There is new life and love for you if you are willing to raise your weary arms to God once again and believe. Let Him dry your tears and heal your crushed and wounded heart. Your dreams have never died in God's eyes, and He wants you to see that they can still live in your own eyes as well. Expect the "new new" now, and not the old new; and be ready for new things that will truly astound and amaze you up ahead! ISA 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. ISA 54:4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. |

I will open new doors for you in the coming months that will be effective in what you have been created to do. Don't feel overwhelmed with responsibilities but allow Me to lead you one step at a time. My plan for your life will continue to progress as you prove your ability to endure says the Lord.![]() Prohetic Hope by Tage Mathisen You are mine says the Lord. I am with You all your days. You are not to be anxious or have worries, for I am the Lord of Hosts that is watching over you and I am walking with you. I am standing beside you as you awake each morning and I am the One that brings life and hope into your heart! My thoughts are pure and undefiled, they are focused with purpose and I am calling you to come up higher with Me and to know Me and become one with My Peace for I am the Prince of Peace! Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. http://lit4ever.org/revivalforum/index.php?topic=29756.msg44964;topicseen#new |

Dream: Don't Settle For Less I had a dream where I was tempted to settle for less but was encouraged to press forward to what was needed. This is the time we are in right now. Don't settle for less. It's time to press into God and get the things we need for this new season. God is bringing dreams and prophetic promises to pass. The new season is here and it is time to trust these things. In the encounter I had with Jesus last August, He told me that after March we will begin to see things change and they will no longer be the way they were. He told me specifically that you can trust the things He is saying to you as a trusted friend. for more click here.... http://lit4ever.org/revivalforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=9f6328f0883463c3a6a2ace994c712b4&topic=29755.msg44963;topicseen#new |

April 14, 2014 Leave Your Past At The Foot Of The Cross By Becky Porter I hear the Lord saying: I have a perfect plan for your life, and it is starting to unfold even now. Just as a rose begins as a tightly wound rose bud, and then over time its flower petals unfurl with stunning beauty and exquisite fragrance, so I will do with you as I bring forth My exquisite fragrance and anointing from your life that will touch and affect everyone you come in contact with! You are an overcomer, and you can overcome ALL things through Me – never forget that! The enemy has been defeated by My blood – it was a finished work at the cross, so walk in all that I have provided for you - FULLY walk in the authority I have given you, and remember: Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world! You become like those you spend time with, so the more time you spend with Me – the more you will become like Me. As we commune together in intimate fellowship, and as you continue to live an obedient lifestyle, you will begin to walk like Me and talk like Me more and more, and the fruit of the Spirit will become increasingly evident in your life. Old things have passed away and all things have become brand new. Let go of the old things that you have been hanging onto, so that I can give you My new! My desire is not for you to be stunted in your growth, but I want you to be fully grown and mature. When you hold onto things from your past, those things prevent you from stepping forth into the new territory I have for you, for they constrict you and create blockages, just as when an artery to the heart is constricted and the blood flow is greatly decreased - that heart will not be able to perform at optimum levels until the blockages are removed. Arise, shine, for your light has come, and My glory has risen upon you. It is time to shake the dust off of your feet and to move on. The past is the past – leave it there, and don’t let the enemy dredge up old memories, hurts/abuse/offense/betrayals, or past sins and mistakes because his only wish is to ensnare. Leave those things at the foot of the cross and don’t pick them back up again. As you let go of your past, you will then be able to step forth into your destiny with Me because the power of those things will be broken off of your life. Your past does not define who you are or where you are going. Your past is part of your history and “school of learning” from which you have learned and gleaned much wisdom, discernment, insight and revelation. You are not the same person you were back then. You have grown and matured greatly, and you are now much better, much stronger, much wiser and much more discerning. You have also become a much more loving, forgiving, gracious and compassionate person, (the fruit of the Spirit has been developing and becoming more evident in your life). The trials you have experienced are the very things that have molded and shaped you and conformed you to My image and likeness. The trials in your life acted like a sheep dog to round you up and away from people, situations, and lifestyles that were not in your best interest, which then brought you running to Me. You would not know Me today the way you do without all that you have walked through, for I proved Myself faithful to you in the midst of your darkest valleys. The fires you have endured have caused you to become like forged steel. The storms you have weathered have made you like a mighty oak tree, for the storms and the winds that buffeted and harassed you caused your roots to go down deep into the soil of My Word. Those storms caused you to run to Me and to seek shelter in Me, for I was your only hope – I was your Refuge, your Strength, your High Tower, and your place of Safety and Provision. You have learned to trust Me, and I am well pleased – I am WELL pleased! You have been given many Kingdom keys throughout your journey, and those keys are not for you, alone. I will use your past to help launch you into your future and destiny, and you will bring many others with you! Get ready, for we are about to embark upon one of the most exciting journeys of your life! Psalm 18:2 AMP The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Psalm 103:8-14 NLT The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; He does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For His unfailing love toward those who fear Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. The Lord is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For He knows how weak we are; He remembers we are only dust. Romans 8:1 NKJV There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Luke 10:19 NIV I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Revelation 12:11 NIV They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. 1 John 4:4 NKJV You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. James 1:2-4 AMP Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing. Romans 5:3-5 AMP Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. Becky Porter lovetoencourage@yahoo.com |
