New Beginnings 2016

In the book of Genesis, 1:1 God created the heavens and the earth. Does God still create new dreams in the hearts and minds of people today? New plans, ideas, and new vision today? Is God still the author of "New life?" What about the new baby that came into the world last night? My daughter Dana and my son-n-law Jason are excited about their new baby that is due April 2016, and so is Poppy and Nana.What is it, that God wants to do NEW in your life this NEW YEAR 2016?

Isaiah 43 says,  "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. You say, "But Danny, you don't know about my recent setback, failure, and a nightmare that am I going through right now," 

Did you realize that before the butterfly can fly, it's wrapped up in its cocoon in the dark on the backside of some tree? It doesn't look like it has many options. But after it becomes a butterfly it doesn't just sit there and wait for somebody to drill a whole and let it out. No! That butterfly knows that it has to make a move if it's going to be set free to fly.

In the same way, we have to make our move by praying, seeking the face of God, seeking His word, possibly fasting. Then expect God to do what you can't do on your own. Pressing forward to reach the mark is the only option to our victory. Paul said, "I press." Not, I'm sitting waiting for a flash from the sky.  Not when somebody calls me and comes to my attention. God knows right where you are today. He knows the number of hairs on your head.

God hasn't forgotten you and knows how to get to you right in the middle of your stormy winds. Many times, God is in the middle of doing something new in our pain and discomfort. Have you ever seen a mother give birth sitting back on a sailboat? NO!!

I believe that many new beginnings come out of our discomfort and difficulty. Listen, God's plans never change for you, regardless. Look up, something new is in the making right now. God sees it and why don't you have the faith right now that if God is for you who can be against you. There's something in the wind that's coming your way. Get ready to spread your wings and fly like an eagle and soar to PLACES you have never been, and to DO things you have never done before.
