New Beginnings Require 'ALL IN'

In this 8th biblical month there is extraordinary grace available for new beginnings - fresh starts. 

Assuming you could use one.

All new beginnings must start with divine direction and favor as it was with Noah who 'found grace in the sight of the Lord.'

We like that part, but as we dig down into the people, events, and scriptures linked to this month, we quickly discern a pattern: What must be left behind. 

Old patterns, models, relationships, resources, identities, and securities all go through a deep root cleanout or a cut off process. 

'Ships' and 'bridges' get burned; doors slam shut, memories are reworked, and names are even changed.

Perhaps the hardest of these shifts to embrace is Joseph's Manasseh Mindset: 'God has caused me to forget all my troubles and all my father's household.' (Gen 41) 

With this major shift one may recall events as facts without experiencing them and the trauma they carry. 

It is a necessary grace God grants through a process of forgiveness and repentance, healing and deliverance, and the removal of those leverage points of the enemy.

And it brings great freedom so you can advance.  

Everyone wants a fresh start, a new beginning: Few are willing to pay the price to step into it.

Yet the grace that was extended to Noah, Joseph, Gideon, and the like, is available to us NOW.  

Your new beginning awaits.

Time to go 'ALL IN!'

Stephen
