Sunday, 05/3/26 ~A Fresh Start in the Unity of the Spirit
As we have stepped into a new month, we are reminded that God is not bound by time, yet He meets us in seasons. A “fresh start” is not just the turning of a calendar page, and I know you are probably tired or me echoing the need to realign, to release, and to renew but this is an invitation from Heaven to you. The scripture declares in Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV), “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing…” This is a divine call to detach from what was and this includes old mindsets, past disappointments, former identities and to now make room for what God is establishing now. You cannot fully embrace what is ahead of you if your hands are still strong gripping the things that God has already called you out of, we must let it go. Sometimes it hard to even imagine doing this big work for God knowing how it important it is, and we just don’t want to mess it up. I will tell, delaying movement in God’s direction is messing it up. The Father wants to do the work not just through you but with you.
The unity of the Spirit requires a shared surrender. According to Ephesians 4:3 (KJV), we are to be “endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Unity with Jesus Christ is not accidental, it is intentional. It demands that we lay aside pride, fears, offenses, and personal agendas so that Christ may be exalted in and through His body. As we move onward and upward, we must cling to Christ with greater resolve, allowing His Spirit to govern our steps, our speech, and our relationships. Sure, we have all messed up but I just loved when I get a chance at a fresh start, just like with the brand-new mercies. A fresh start is not just personal just for one person, it is corporate because we have all needed that grace to begin again. The body of Christ is being strengthened corporately when each member chooses alignment over division, humility over self- pleasure, and obedience over comfort. We must determine within ourselves we will never stop coming after Jesus because he is worthy not only of our praise but our discipline.
Finally, let us press in and forward with conviction and hope. The Apostle Paul tells the Philippians church “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark…” This is the place God wants all believers. We must understand that forward movement requires spiritual discipline. We are going to have to engage the Holy Ghost to sharpen our yielding and spiritual discipline. A fresh start is sustained by choosing daily surrender, by the renewing of the mind through the Word, and by an unwavering focus on Christ. We have an enemy is who is not stopping so too must be vigilant. As we embrace this new season, let us be strengthened together by encouraging one another, building one another up, and walking in the fullness of what God has ordained for us all. The path ahead is not uncertain when Jesus Christ is our anchor, so let us move forward, united in the Holy Spirit, and confident in His promise to complete the good work He has begun.
