This is what the Lord has been speaking to me recently:
"I am always in the midst of doing new things among My people. Those who choose My way will always be thinking outside the box!"
The Lord is always doing new things. Nothing stays dull or stale when you walk with Him. I've seen this throughout my walk with God. So, be ready for new and exciting things in your life, going forward!
By the way, 'to think outside the box' is 'to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective'.
The Lord is real and He is willing to help you and give you the solutions in your life, as long as you stick to Him and seek Him.
Isaiah 43:18-19 (NKJV) says, 'Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert'.
Indeed, the Lord can make a way for you where there seems to be no way. There will be no dead-end road for those who look to Him and trust in Him. If He can make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, you can be assured He will know how to make a way for you, whatever your situation may be at the moment.
There are some old ways, methods, or systems that do not work anymore in a new season. Therefore, you have to let go of those, and ask the Lord to teach you the new ways, methods, or systems that will work in a new season.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV) says, 'But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
In order to forgo the 'old thinking', you will have to substitute it with a new thinking.
But how do you receive a new thinking from God? By knowing the thoughts of God!
1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (NKJV) says, 'But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God'.
You see, only the Spirit of God knows exactly what is in His mind (i.e. what His thoughts are). And this Spirit of God dwells in you! When you seek Him, spend time with Him and pray in the spirit (pray in tongue), the Spirit of God can tell you what you need to know and what you are to do in each new season or new phase of your life!
Therefore, if you have the Spirit of God dwelling in you, you don't need to fear! You don't have to fear facing the future. You don't have to be afraid of the unknown in the future. Because when you seek Him, He will tell you what exactly you need to do and what steps to take, be it in your life, career, business, or ministry!
Of course, when the Spirit of God speaks to you regarding what to do and how to go about doing it, there may be some people who will not be ready to hear it or accept it. They may judge you or even mock at you. But if you know the Spirit of God is the One who has spoken to you regarding that new way, new method, or new system, it will just be a matter of time before those critics or 'noises' will be silenced, when your results show!
So, take heart. There is no dead-end road when you have the Spirit of God in you. He will know how to make a way for you, and you will see yourself excelling in each new season or new phase of your life, no matter what happens around you in the world. Amen!
