Hello Everyone,
The 2nd step to embracing the new thing what God wants to do in your life is to:
CLARIFY YOUR FOCUS -- DISCOVER WHAT GOD WANTS FOR YOU
CLARIFY YOUR FOCUS -- DISCOVER WHAT GOD WANTS FOR YOU
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19
Perceive [GR yada’, yaw-dah’ prim. root]: to know by seeing; care, recognition, acknowledge, aware of, understand.
What do you see when you view your life? Do you see possibilities or problems? Notice what God said:
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
The children of Israel had a choice. They could view their past and the problems of their present, or they could focus on what God wanted to do in their lives.
Way -vs- Desert
Streams -vs- Wasteland
In order to discover what God wants for you, ...
You Must First See Yourself as God Sees You
The children of Israel felt as though they were getting just what they deserved because of the way they had lived. Some even believed that God would never have anything more to do with them. But they were wrong!!!

You may feel like your past has made your life a wasteland but in God, your life can become a stream of life.
Romans 8:1- 2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
Colossians 1:21,22 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight
In order to discover what God wants for you, ...
You Must See Your Possibilities as God Sees Them
I am making a way in the desert ...
God is able to transform the desert areas of your life into fields of blessing and abundance. God can take a dried up useless life and trans-form it into a life of purpose and grace:
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
