Breathe, it's okay to start again. New beginnings can be scary sometimes but also necessary. We all go through seasons when we either start a new job, school, move to a new location, make new friends, start a new relationship, etc. It's the fear of the unknown a place we have all experienced, that makes us wonder what's ahead.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”
2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP
The reminder of the past can obstruct your view from the future if you are not careful. When you study scripture there are many scriptures that dwell on new beginnings, new life, or starting again.
“They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. [Is 33:2]”
Lamentations 3:23 AMP
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”
2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP
“And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true [they are accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy].” [Is 43:19]”
Revelation 21:5 AMP
In this particular season I sense in the body of christ there are MAJOR transitions occuring in the realm of the spirit. Welcome to your new beginning. In your case the new beginning may not feel like "a new beginning". You may feel confused and others may even think you don't know what you're doing. God is leading you in a new direction than what you thought. The scripture tells us that many are the plans of the righteous but the Lord's purpose previals over it all. In this time, you must learn to trust God with your whole life.
Yes, it may feel like you're going backwards but that's a lie from the enemy, as long as it's God's leading, you are moving forward. We tend to remain stagnant or move backwards when we choose our way. Forget about man's opinion the only one that matters is God's. Is your heavenly father happy with you and the decision you made?
Let go of what you were used to. Let go of your past. Let go of the design you created in your mind. Let go of what looks like progess but really will end you in delay. LET GO! And move with the wind of the spirit.
Let me say this bold and loud If you don't do it now, you may NEVER receive another opportunity again. One thing you don't want is to look back at your life and regret certain decisions and risks you should have made. It will not end in shame.
All it takes is faithful obedience day by day. Begin with a step and you will keep hearing God's voice instructing you.
