2013. A year of fulfillment, blessings, and favor. I love new beginnings, receiving a second chance to improve, but how is it the moment we receive another shot the devil comes knockin' on our door reminding us of our past failures and regrets? We, as children of God, have the power to shut that door and keep it shut.
"I do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old, behold, You are doing a new thing in my life and now it shall spring forth" (Isaiah 43:18-91 paraphrase).
Our confession, what comes out of our mouths, is extremely powerful. It can make or break your situation. When we choose to speak God's Word, chains are broken, blind eyes are opened, sickness is no more. The devil must flee at the name of Jesus. Yes, must. When Jesus left this earth to be seated at the right hand of God, he left us his name. I pray that the Lord will make you aware of the power of His presence living in and through you this year. Make 2013 a year of doing everything in His name. Walk in His name, call things that are not as if they already are in His name. You are not defined by your past. This year the Lord is "doing a new thing in your life and now it shall spring forth." This is your year to walk in all that He has prepared for you.
"I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!" (John 14:12-14).
This is your year for greater.
