                   Be Renewed

My children, renew yourself in Me.
A renewed self becomes a thing of yesterday
if not continually renewed.
I am bringing a new thing upon you.
I am preparing you for a new thing.
While I do not change,
while I am constant and faithful,
I am ever moving in a new thing,
in a new way to bring about My purpose and plans.

Renew yourself in Me daily.
Seek My face and My ways daily.
Do not sit, feeling renewed in the things of yesterday,
for yesterday is but a vapor in the wind.
I am pouring forth a new thing into you.
I am pouring a lasting thing into you.
I do not want for this new thing to burst forth and then vanish.
I bring about lasting changes for you.
Who can contain even the smallest portion of Me 
without a constant renewing of My Spirit upon them?
I come in power and might.
I am Lord Almighty who comes upon you.
Let Me prepare you to hold this new thing.

Come and sit with Me and seek My face.
Come and put on new garments, renew your inner man.
I do not change and yet I am ever moving in new things,
shifting and shaping and molding My own.
It is I who make the invisible visible.
It is I who make the impossible possible.
It is I who see what your eye cannot perceive.

My child, let Me dress you for battle.
My child, let Me dress you for victory.
Let Me renew your in the things of the new.

Leave the old behind and follow as I move in this new thing.
I am calling you into the deep.
It is time to leave the shore of what was 
and step into what will be so.
I will lead you and guide you through this new journey.
I will protect you under My wing.

I cannot lead you into the new if you are not willing to let go of the old.
Ready yourself now, let go of all that holds you and follow Me.
Empty yourself before Me so that I can pour into you this new thing.
Come and let Me fill you to overflowing 
so that you can pour out this new thing upon others.
I do not fill My own so they can hold onto it 
until it becomes a thing of old.
I constantly fill and renew My own 
so I can be poured out in a greater measure upon Your land.

Come and sit and be renewed.
