Words To Remember - "The Year 2011"

I believe that the Spirit of God is saying that this coming year, 2011, will be a year and season of THE NEW.  It will be a time of New Things.  Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old.  I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (NRSV).

Recall with me that we said in October of 2009 that the year 2010 would be a year and a season of Order, and during this season God would begin setting some things in order and setting some things right, and it would begin with His house (I Peter 4:17).  And it was also said that Matthew 6:33 would be a key verse within this season of Order because it speaks of order and priority as it relates to the kingdom of God.

So now that Order has been and is continuing to be established in the house of God (because the Word has gone forth and is continuing to go forth about the order and priority of the kingdom of God), God will now begin to bring forth new things in His house.  Now, we must understand that it was important that order should be established first before the new could come because the old way of disorder cannot inhabit the new way of life.  Jesus said it like this in Matthew 9:17, "Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.  No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." (NIV).

So as we enter into this new year of 2011, let us enter it with expectation and humility as we prepare to receive and enter into the New Things that God has for His people.
