A "New Thing"

"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 43:19

The Women's Journey of Faith conference "Unshakable Faith" has come and gone with incredible memories to reflect on! (Check out the photos on our website!)  Our theme verse for the conference came from the book of Isaiah  chapter 43 verse 19 which talks about God doing a 'new thing'. Regardless if you joined us on November 5th or 6th 2010 or not- this passage in the Bible is a truth available to all! He wants to do a new thing in all our lives, but we often are so blind to it that we are not 'perceiving' it.

Having Unshakable Faith means knowing who God is and who we are. Putting our trust in the One who can forgive our past and holds the keys to tomorrow- we can be counted among those in the hall of faith whose names were mentioned in the book of Hebrews chapter 11 . In the first verse, it describes what faith is: "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see."   If we are going through a 'desert time' and can't perceive anything good can come out of it.... left unto ourselves, we become spiritually stuck. To get out of that rut, we simply  need to fix our eyes on Jesus and allow Him to do that new thing! We do so by laying our everything to God in prayer. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14)  He quenches our thirst in dry times. 

If you are going through a desert time:

• Do you know God? Do you have a relationship with Him by knowing and receiving His son Jesus Christ into your life? Then we encourage you to keep trusting Him through your desert times. The Bible confirms that life is full of many troubles, but to know that God is in control. Your faith will be tested and your character refined through those shaky or dry times....answers are just around the corner. Beauty comes though brokenness and His Holy Spirit wants to live through you and be that living water to your soul for your personal healing and restoration and to bring restoration to others on the journey.
• If you don't know God, we invite you to seek Him with your whole heart   If you're going through a desert time- know that there are streams of living water coming to the rescue as you trust in Jesus to be your Savior and your Lord of your life. If you have never prayed to receive Jesus- here's an excellent resource to help you begin your peace with God.

No matter where you are at on your journey of faith, we encourage you to keep praying and trusting for all the things your heart hopes for. WJOF is excited to hear of the new things that have been birthed in your life or the new thing that you are witnessing in others. Be in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
