Transitioning To A New Day

Transitioning to a New Day

In the same way there was a transition to a New Day at the coming of Jesus, there is a transition we must go through to enter the New Day coming.

In Jesus's day spiritual leaders were well versed in the prophecies and purpose of his coming. The terminology and the truth about his inevitable coming were right. They expected the Christ to fulfill their vision of what salvation, deliverance and hope were.

But the rules had changed. What they got was a man who was an offense to them; demanding them to lose their love of position, power and earthly glory and take up their cross to follow him.

John the Baptist, The Elijah of that day, was the herald and prophet preparing the hearts of the people by repentance to receive the messiah and his ministry. But even the Elijah of Jesus's day sent a message asking if he should be looking for another messiah because Jesus was not conforming to his expectations.

Today we have already seen in part the Elijah of this day arising. Prophecies and words of what God is about to do are stirring in the winds. Many are the prophetic terms and phrases we hear bantered about in teachings, sermons, and songs. They have much truth.

But the rules are once again going to change. TRUTH WILL NOT CHANGE. But a deeper understanding of truth will change the way in which we see God, His church, His purposes for men, and creation.

The Spirit of God is coming to take the seat of rulership in His church and He is bringing a New Day with new understandings of EVERYTHING. The only way we can enter into this New Day is the same way they did back then. To lose our own lives; our positions, our power and earthly glory, and become like a little children, able to receive all our Father would want to show to us.

Isa. 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

In Him

Out Of The Mouth Of Babes

Have I not said that unless you become like a little child you would not enter into the kingdom? Would you lead my children? Would you show them the path to walk in? Would you speak words from me that shine my light of truth upon the path of righteousness? Then you must be in heart, character and faith as a child is.

Abandon your self importance, your title and position. Become childlike in your desire to love and serve your God and your fellow man. Any more than this is vanity. The simplicity of love and service is lost in the desire of self to be seen and heard. Take time to die. Take time to approach me in meekness and sincerity. Mirror the lack of self-consciousness that a little child has when responding to the love and affection of their Father. Nothing to hide, nothing to prove, only love and affection in return.

I sincerely say to you, that you unless you become like a little child, you will not enter into my plans for you this day. I have given you my gifts, my truth, and shown you my intent for this day. Many are called, few are chosen. Make your calling AND election sure.

Ps 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Goo! Goo! Gah! Gah!
