EXPECT CHANGE

"But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” John 6:20 NIV

Some are so caught up in tradition and how it used to be that they can’t even enjoy when God moves in a different way. Never hold on to the former move because God is bigger than His last move in your life. Incredible changes have taken place in the past hundred years. We are experiencing more change than ever in history and the rate of change is so great that we barely can catch our breath before another blast of change slams into us. Everything we’re familiar with is changing. 

Isaiah 43:18-19 says “remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old, behold I will do a new thing (now it shall spring forth)”. This Scripture tells us that God is doing something fresh and new, but the condition and requirement for receiving the new is to let go of the old. One of the greatest hindrances of change is our memory, we have a tendency to want to drag our past into our future. But God is saying; the only way to get the new is to let go of the old.

Don't hold on to the old else, the world will leave you behind and you'll find yourself wondering in the dark. To get the new you’re going to have to separate yourself from the old (mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically in some cases); in other words you may have to let go of old friends who are not helping in the construction and building of your life, and get some new friends. Change has to come and you always have to be ready for it. Change is for your promotion and advancement. Don't be afraid of change, it's for your advantage.
