'The EXPERIENCES of Newness'

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new, forgetting what is behind and pressing on toward the mark, being not conformed to the ways of the world but being transformed by the renewing of your mind, etc. Recognize these instructional and timeless truths? Sure you do.  Each of them were inspired by a man who changed the entire structure of the time passage known as life, and was penned by men who followed hard after Him.  Jesus as well as the disciples had a specialized internal Purpose and therefore were given specific instructions to carry out that purpose.  Both their Purpose and Pursuit of it was hammered out by the EXPERIENCES of Life.  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly all served as rites of passage that made these men New each time they EXPERIENCED another facet of their journey. 

            When we understand that each of us has a SPECIALIZED PURPOSE and SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS, we have to begin to see our daily EXPERIENCES as opportunities to become ‘New’.  In order to do this, we have to change the way we perceive things.  Sometimes your best opportunities come in the form of opposition. My definition of luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. 

            Perhaps you have begun to allow your daily experiences to become harmful, negative, or cynical.  They were never intended to be that; they were intended to SHARPEN You.  As you PREPARE for today, I encourage you to ask God to change your PERCEPTION of your EXPERIENCES.  It is essential in order to be made ‘New.’ Hey, it worked for Jesus, it worked for the Disciples, it worked for Abraham, it worked for every Man and Woman that God used, and it can work for you, but you’ve got to work it! BLESSINGS and Congratulations in ADVANCE on becoming 'NEW' today!
