Changing of

the Seasons!
 

  Take Some

 New Photos!

     Many people spend a lot of time and money to take photos of what’s meaningful to us.  Just think about cell phones and how many pictures and videos are stored on those.  Those memories are important to us.

     But not all memories are ones that we want to keep.  There are some that we would give anything if they would go away.  No one wants hurtful memories.  But what’s important is that we don’t stay in those memories.  We don’t meditate on those and allow them to control our thinking and emotions.  That hard time was a season and the season is over.

     God has new memories planned for you that are so good a cell phone can’t contain them, a photo album can’t hold them.  They’re going to cause your heart to be full of what He’s doing.  You’re going to be taking new photos of all the good people and blessings and honor and promotion and favor that God is sending to you.  Create good new memories.

     I just received a wonderful card from a Partner of this ministry that showed me how she was making good new memories.  She made this card herself on Shutterfly and put two beautiful pictures on it of the property that she now owns.  She is creating such good new memories there.  But she had just come out of a hard season.  So here’s what she wrote on the photo card.  She said, “I just have to thank you so much for your prayers and support over the past several years.  The photos on this card are of the place the Lord blessed me with…years ago.  I was in a bad place in my life when I moved out here, but the God we serve is faithful to bind our wounds and heal our hearts.  Thanks for being a part of my journey towards healing and transformation.”

     She’s taking her photos and making good new memories.  God took her from a season in which she had wounds and hurts and gave her a place that is a blessing, and a place where she can create the memories she desires.  As she said, it was a journey but she received transformation as God took her out of that season and into a better time.

     Maybe something has happened to make you feel as if the good part of your life is ended.  God is saying you’re about to make some good new memories.  Just as He moved that woman to a new place, He’s going to move you to a new place.

     Maybe it will be your home as it was for her, or maybe you won’t be moved in a physical sense, but in your thinking or emotions.  He’s moving you to a new place in your career or calling or perhaps in a relationship, or it’s a financial move.  You may be in some conditions and it’s time for those to become better.  Believe that season is going to change and God is going to move you into good memories.

     There’s a man whom God took from a place of bad memories to a palace.  His name was Mephibosheth.  His grandfather was King Saul of Israel and his father was Jonathan.  When he was five years old, both his father and grandfather were defeated and killed by the Philistines.  In an attempt to save the boy’s life, his nurse tried to escape with him.  When she did, she fell and he was injured.  The result was that he became lame in both legs.  However, she was able to get him to a place called Lo-debar.

     That’s when David took over as the new King of Israel.  King Saul had hated David and wanted to destroy him.  But David and Jonathan had been good buddies.  So when David found out that Jonathan’s son, Mephibosheth, was residing in Lo-debar, he called him to him so he could bless him, in honor of Jonathan his friend.  (Ref. II Samuel 9:9, 10 MSG.)

     Mephibosheth was given property and a permanent place to eat at the King’s table in the palace.  Treated as royalty.  He was entering into a good time where he would be cared for, and instead of existing in shame and fear, he now was in a place of honor and compassion and blessing.  His cell phone would be full of photos of the palace and the King and all the selfies he took with the friends and good people of God.  The problems of the past were no more.  He could go on into good new memories.

     My friend, you’re coming out of the place of being where you don’t want to be and into a place where good new memories are going to be created.  God is calling you before Him and saying, “From now on, you’re honored and taken care of.  You’re going to have the best of everything.  Lo-debar is a thing of the past.  You’re going into the palace.”

     Believe God’s Word.  Believe the seasons are changing for you.  You’re going to make good new memories.  You haven’t seen the best part.  There’s so much more to come.

 
A Spiritual Powerline to say out loud:
