God’s Doing A New Thing!

Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) “Behold, I will do a new thing…”

It has been said that, “the only constant in life is change. While change may not be the world’s only constant, it’s definitely one of life’s major ones. For example, the weather on this 1st day in August is far different than it was on January 1st (7 months ago) or even April 1st (4 months ago). There is even a sharp contrast between the 1st day of summer (June 22nd) and the last day of summer (September 22nd). If you were to look back through your photo album, you’ll notice a progressive change in your appearance.

One of the devil’s greatest tactics is to convince believers that our situations aren’t going to change. Satan bombards our minds with the idea that our seasons of tests, trials, and tribulations are permanent and not temporary. But some of our favorite Bible verses carry the idea of change. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “ To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…” The Bible says, “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5, NKJV) After Job had endured suffering for over 40 chapters, the Bible records, “And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.” (Job 42:10, NKJV)

God says through the penmanship of Isaiah, “Behold, I will do a new thing…” (Isaiah 43:19). On this 1st day of the 8th month, let’s believe God that, “things are going to change.”

Let’s Pray: “Father, we agree in prayer that You’ll change those things and those areas in our lives that need changing, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!”
The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10

Daily Confession:

Father, I thank You for making me the head and not the tail

Above only and not beneath

The lender and not the borrower

The conqueror and not the conquered







I thank You for giving me all things that pertain unto life and godliness

And for delivering my life from death and destruction

So that I shall live and not die to declare your works



I thank You that no sickness shall live in my body today

For by Your Stripes I'm healed

I confess that I will not be stressed, oppressed, or depressed

Because You're keeping me in perfect peace as my mind is stayed on Thee



I confess that there shall not be any lack in my life today

For my God shall supply all my needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus

Thank You that all things are working together for my good

And that You always cause me to triumph



This is the day that you have made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

In Jesus, Name, amen.
