“Every breath you take is a new breath. You cannot live on old air. God is a God of the new. In Christ you are a new creation, all things have become new.”

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

The interesting thing about a prophetic word is, it endures. Prophecies written thousands of years ago still apply to your and my life today. For instance, when prophesying to the people of God about their return from exile, the prophet Isaiah used the phrase “new things” several times, saying things like, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Today, you and I can read these words and receive them personally, for God’s word endures forever.

The gift of prophecy did not cease to exist at the completion of the writing of the Old or New Testaments. Prophecy, as a gift of the Holy Spirit, is still in operation in the Church today for the common good. God gave me a prophetic word several years ago. He said, “I am doing a new thing. I am sifting, sorting, threshing and pressing. What grape in a winepress can withstand the pressing? Each is pressed with each to produce one new pleasing wine.”

Perhaps that’s a word for you today. The Lord is sifting his Church. He is threshing us like wheat to remove the dross of compromise, complaint and criticism. The Lord is pressing us into a new form – a new meld – to flow together in harmony, humility and grace for his pleasure. God is doing a new thing in your life. It may be uncomfortable but, in the end, you will be supremely blessed. He will meet your needs, as he has promised. He will guide your steps, as he has promised. If you humble yourself, he will raise you to new heights, as he has promised.

Every breath you take is a new breath. You cannot live on old air. God is a God of the new. In Christ you are a new creation, all things have become new. So, take a fresh new breath and pray, “Lord, whatever it takes, do a new thing in me today.”

God-tracking is embracing the new.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“Sort me, Lord, thresh me, Lord and press me, Lord to fit your plan for my life.”

“Heavenly Father, I know your word endures forever. Thank you for the prophecies in the Bible that I can take to heart today, in a new way. I believe you are doing a new thing in my life; I perceive it. Sort me, Lord, thresh me, Lord and press me, Lord to fit your plan for my life. I acknowledge you in every aspect of my life and future and trust that you will direct my path according to the plans you know you have for me. Amen.”

“So, today I say to you, turn your life inside out and, in faith, live by the Spirit within and not the flesh without.”

Galatians 5:22-21
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

I once stood up to preach wearing my jacket inside out. I made no comment of the fact of the seeming lack of decorum in my attire and began ministering from 2 Corinthians chapter 5. My key verse was verse 17.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come,” I said. “You see, when you heard the gospel and accepted Jesus as Lord of your life, something profound and supernatural occurred. When you confessed your sins to God, he, by his grace, forgave and cleansed you. When you asked Christ into your life, you were born again. Your spirit man became a new man. Your old natural man died. Yes, you became a new creature in Christ.”

I went on to describe how the inner man is renewed and made righteous by God’s righteousness. I quoted verse 21 adding that God imputes us with his righteousness in our inner man at the point of rebirth. “Our insides are made new; forgiven of sin and imputed with God’s righteousness,” I preached.

At this point, I took off my inside-out jacket and turned it the right way round and put it on again. “Therefore,” I said with a preacher’s gusto, “Live your life inside out!”

Dear GodTracker, if you have surrendered your life to Jesus and acknowledged God in all your ways; if you are born again by the Holy Spirit and have died to the old nature, why then do you still allow the old crucified man/woman to live on your outside? The old man is a man of depravity and sin. The old man is a man of despair and anguish. The old man is a man of disease and sickness. The old man is a man of poverty and deprivation. The old man is a man of loss, depression, anxiety and fear. The new man is none of these. The new man is victorious, healthy, loving, joyous, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled. The new man lives by the fruit of the Spirit.

So, I say to you today, turn your life inside out and, in faith, live by the new Spirit within and not the old flesh without.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

May the beauty and the majesty of your pure life shine out of me everywhere I go

“Father God, I praise you that you caused Jesus to become sin for me, though he was guiltless, that I might become your righteousness. I confess Christ as my Lord and saviour and believe he died and rose again to set me free from sin. Praise you that YOUR righteousness now lives within my spirit man. Thank you, Father. Therefore, I choose today to turn my life inside out that your goodness, victory and love may be seen on my outside. Forgive me for concealing the good nature you recreated in my heart. May the beauty and the majesty of your pure life shine out of me everywhere I go. May the fruit of your Spirit be evident in my daily life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS BUILDING THE MODEL OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S PROTOTYPE

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

I once worked as a computer network controller for a major car manufacturer in South Africa. My office was in the IT department, located at the assembly plant for all models of the car. This was back in the good-old-days of hardwired computer networks, so part of my job required me to trace cabling throughout the factory. I loved this part of the job because it meant I could see how the cars were built. From the metal presses to the final body coating I could observe how luxury cars were expertly assembled.

From time to time an air of mystery would creep across the plant. A memo would make it rounds instructing staff to not divulge any information about the new secret shapes perceived under covers at the Research & Development department. A new model prototype had arrived from overseas and was being tested. From this prototype, many new luxury cars would be modelled. Once tested and approved, the design specifications of this prototype were fed into every computer along the assembly line, resulting in thousands of expertly crafted luxury cars being produced on its specifications.
 
Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit. He is not like any other man before or after. He is the Son of God – Emmanuel – God with us. He is called the Word of God, that is, the Word became flesh and dwelt on earth. Jesus Christ is the exact literal image of the eternal invisible God. Jesus is God incarnate. He is the sinless perfect prototype for the regenerate man. His plans have no flaws. His design is a mirror of the Creator. As with any prototype, Jesus the Christ was tested and approved. After his baptism by John, where God affirmed him as his perfect Son, Jesus was led into the wilderness where he endured intense temptation to sin. These tests were gruelling but Jesus, God’s prototype, stood strong. You see, he is designed according to the perfect blueprint – God himself.

From this immaculate and perfect prototype, God has produced many, many similar models. You are one of them, if you acknowledge Christ. You see, when you confessed Jesus as your Lord and put your faith in his death and resurrection, you were born again. Your old design fell away and you were remodelled according to his perfect blueprint. Because Jesus suffered intense temptation when he was tested, he will help you in your tests. In him, you are more than a conqueror. In him you stand saved, delivered and proved.

God-tracking is building the model of your life on God’s Prototype

I base every choice, every relationship, every activity in my life on his blueprint for holy living

Pray
“Dear God, thank you so much for Jesus. Thank you that he came as the exact representation of who you are. I turn my back on sin and depravity and acknowledge Jesus Christ as my Lord and saviour. I choose to plan my life according to your plans for me. Thank you, Jesus, that you suffered when you were tempted. Because of your suffering, you help me when I am tempted. I repent of all sin and fix my eyes on Jesus, the perfecter of my faith. Jesus is my example. Therefore, I base every choice, every relationship, every activity in my life on his blueprint for holy living. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING STARTS WITH PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THE WORK OF JESUS AS YOUR SCAPEGOAT

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING STARTS WITH PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THE WORK OF JESUS AS YOUR SCAPEGOAT

Psalm 103:12
…as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Young Abner watched intently as the high priest pressed his hands on the goat’s head. A man stood by, ready to lead it out into the wilderness. It was the Day of Atonement. The Israelites were camped in the desert near the erected the tabernacle.

“Why does he do that, Abba,” Abner asked his father. “Well, replied his dad, God instructed Moses to make this day holy. It’s called Yom Kippur. On this day the high priest makes sacrifices for the sins of Israel.” Abner watched as the man led the goat away into the desert. His father continued, “When the high priest laid his hands on that goat he was symbolically pressing all our sins on him. Then that man over there, leads the goat off to a faraway place in the desert. There he’ll let him go.” By now the man and the goat had disappeared over a far-off sand dune. “That goat has carried all our sin far away from us.  This shows how, by the blood sacrifice, God has removed our sins from us as far as east is from west.” Abner gazed at the dune for some time before turning back to watch the sacrifices taking place at the altar.

The English expression, scapegoat comes from this biblical account as found in Leviticus 16. An innocent goat was used to carry the sins of the Jews into the wilderness. There it was condemned to wonder aimlessly, separated from man and beast. In the book of Isaiah, we read of how Jesus, the righteous innocent Son of God, had the iniquity of us all laid on him. Jesus became our scapegoat, bearing our sins alone in that desert wilderness of crucifixion. He sacrificed his life for our atonement. The true Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was the day Jesus died. He both bore our sins and paid for our redemption!

Though totally innocent, Jesus had your sins pressed upon him at Calvary. We often forget that Jesus was dead for three days. I believe these three days were like the desert wilderness that the goat was led into, by the High Priest’s assistant in Leviticus. When Jesus carried your sins to the grave he was completely separated from the glory of God. He became your scapegoat. But, thank God, by the power of the Holy Spirit and his own righteousness, Jesus Christ did not remain in the grave; he rose from the dead! Our Scapegoat bore our sins to the wilderness of the grave and returned to bring you and me new life, in him.

Tell me, do you know him?

God-tracking starts with putting your faith in the work of Jesus as your scapegoat

Every blessing

Dudley

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

Thank you that he bore my sin into the wilderness of the grave so that, by your grace, I may have my sins removed from me as far as the east is from the west.

Pray
“Dear heavenly God I realise that I have been carrying my sin with me all my life. I have missed the mark of your holy goodness. I confess and repent of all I have said, done or thought that has been sinful. Forgive me, too for the sin in me that I am yet capable of committing. Thank you that my sin was pressed upon Jesus at Calvary. Thank you that he bore my sin into the wilderness of the grave so that, by your grace, I may have my sins removed from me as far as the east is from the west. I now ask Christ to come into me as I give my life over to him. Thank you dear Jesus, that you rose from the grave so that I can have new life in you. Amen.”
