Status Quo.

                                                                          Status Quo.

The Status Quo Must Go!

 

Behold, I am doing a “New Thing”; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make “a way” in the wilderness and “rivers” in the desert.  (Isaiah 43:19)

Therefore, if any man be “In Christ”, the “New Creature” has come: The old “Has Gone”, “The New Is Here”.  (2 Corinthians 5:17)

 

The “New Thing” cannot come until the “Status Quo Goes”!

 

Status Quo – The current state of things.

The Status Quo was The Law, Religions, Traditions; “They Cannot Save”!  Everything in the Old Testament “Points to The Cross of Jesus The Christ”.  Man needed a New Thing, the Status Quo could not save.  God’s Love for man would not allow him to enter into eternity in their “fallen state”.

 

The wilderness and the desert are all there is if we are “Living by Sight” instead of “Living by Faith”.  New Creatures can “speak those things that are not, as if they are”, new creatures can pray for people who despitefully misuse them, new creatures Love the Lord, and they Love their neighbors.

 

Our Daily Nugget is telling us two things:

1.    God foretold of the New Thing, the New Way, through Isaiah.

2.    Paul declared to the Corinthian Church and to us that Jesus is the New Way.

 

Every morning Jesus wants to “Renew” our heart/minds to prepare us to “Live Each Day Well”.  Everyone we meet each day needs the Light that Jesus Shines on a dark world through His New Creatures, Kingdom Citizens, Us.  Sin in our lives has the effect of putting a “lampshade” over The Light, the New Way; lampshades prevent the lost from “Seeing Jesus Through Us”.  

 

This is “Not Good”; actually, Its Horrible!  The Bible says that one Kingdom Citizen plants, another waters, and God Gives the Increase.  Sin prevents us from doing “our part”; the lost person might need the water today that I am supposed to provide.  Seeking pleasure and enjoying sin prevents us from doing our part.

 

“Selfishness” – The New Creature’s Public Enemy Number One!

 

Ask God to Bless You to Let the Status Quo Go, and to give you the

Desire and the Wisdom to Let the New Creature Reign, And Watch What Happens!
