A New Thing: Trusting God Beyond the Past and Into His Promises

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
— Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV)

There is an ache within the human soul to start fresh—to leave behind what has been broken and step into what could be made whole. In Isaiah 43:18–19, the Lord delivers a divine promise not just to Israel in captivity, but to every believer waiting for a breakthrough: He is doing a new thing.

Stop Dwelling on the Past

"Remember ye not the former things..."

This is more than advice; it is a command. God is not asking us to erase memory, but to release bondage. Too often, we cling to past mistakes, failures, traumas, or even past blessings, as if God peaked in yesterday. But the Lord reminds us that faith is forward-facing.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” (Philippians 3:13).

God’s work in your life is not confined to history—it is unfolding in the present, moving into eternity. He doesn't want His people stuck in regret, routine, or recycled expectations. He wants them ready.

A New Thing in a Dry Place

The promise of Isaiah 43:19 is not made in a palace, but in a wilderness. Not in surplus, but in scarcity. “I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

These words are both symbolic and literal.

  • Wilderness represents confusion, uncertainty, and isolation—like the state of our world today.

  • Deserts speak to emotional barrenness, spiritual dryness, and impossible circumstances.

In modern times, our global “wilderness” looks like geopolitical unrest, failing economies, rising lawlessness, pandemics, and a generation growing cold toward God (Matthew 24:12). But it is here, in this wasteland, that God declares: “I will do a new thing.”

This is not optimism—it is sovereign certainty.

Stop Looking for Signs—Start Trusting the Word

Many believers today chase signs and wonders, equating miracles with God’s presence. But Scripture is clear:

“An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign” (Matthew 12:39).

God calls us to a faith that believes before it sees. The foundation of our relationship with Him is not emotional hype or visible miracles, but trust in His Word.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).

Yes, the Lord still performs miracles. But if your faith relies solely on the dramatic, you will miss His quiet work in the background—the “new thing” that sprouts slowly like a seed beneath the soil.

Faith the Size of a Seed

God is not demanding mountain-moving effort. He is asking for mustard-seed faith (Matthew 17:20).

“If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed... nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

This is the kind of faith that says, “Lord, I don’t see it, but I believe You’re working. I may feel dry, but I trust You to bring water. I may be in a wilderness, but I believe You’re making a way.”

That kind of trust pleases Him.

What’s Required of You? Agreement.

You must come into agreement with God’s Word. Not just hear it—but believe it, speak it, and live it.

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3)

God has already declared His intent to bless, restore, and use you for His purpose. But will you agree with what He’s spoken?

He doesn't need your power—He needs your position: Humble. Trusting. Ready.

A Call to Repentance

Are you clinging to the past, questioning God’s timing, or doubting His goodness? If so, this is your moment to repent—not merely of bad deeds, but of unbelief.

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” (Hebrews 3:12)

Return to Him. Let go of the past. Turn your eyes forward. He is making a way.

The Gospel Invitation

Before you can embrace the new thing God wants to do in your life, you must first become a new creation. That begins with salvation.

  1. Recognize your sin – “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

  2. Understand the consequence – “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).

  3. Believe in Christ’s sacrifice – “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

  4. Confess and receive – “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).

If you’re ready for that new beginning—call upon Him now. He is faithful to save.

💰 Digital Chains, Global Power & the Coming Beast System

The Prophetic Implications of AI, Blockchain, and the World Financial Reset 📖 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark... And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV) A global transformation is underway—an economic, political, and technological realignment happening in plain sight. While the world debates left vs. right, East vs. West, and nation vs. nation, Scripture reveals that a singular world system is forming . Its aim? Absolute control of humanity. And the foundation of this control will be economic. The financial system that undergirds the current world order is being dismantled—and what rises in its place aligns with the prophesied Beast system foretold in Revelation 13. 🔁 From Gold Standard to Global Blockchain: The Setup The U.S. economic shift unfolded in the shadow of Nixon’s 1971 removal of the dollar from the gold standard.

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses. When life i...
