The Shift

Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

"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."

I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19b (NIV)

Proverbs 3:6 (MSG)

"Trust God from the bottom of your heart; Don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on track."

If you are going to move forward into all God has for your life, you need to lift your eyes from the place of impossible, and turn them to the One who makes all things possible.

Is there a shift taking place in your life right now?

Mark 2:22 (NIV)

"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins."

The Process

God cannot do the incredible things He has prepared for you in the new wineskin, while you remain in the old wineskin.

Sometimes we have to let go of the good to take hold of the better, but sometimes we think the good looks greater than the better - until we take hold of God's better.

TRUST THE NEW WINESKIN PROCESS

Every new season comes with a new wineskin, and every new wineskin comes with a shift - and that wineskin may look different than the old one.

Isaiah 43:18 (NIV)

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; Do you not perceive it?"

New wineskin has a different sound than the old wineskin.

Perceiving something is more than awareness.

Isaiah 54:2–3

"Enlarge the place of your tent. Stretch your tent curtains wide. Do not hold back. Lengthen your cords. Strengthen your stakes, for you will spread out to the right and to the left. Your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities."
