First, I am grateful that The LORD allowed me to see 2021 and while reflecting on the nature of who He is; I am reminded that He does not want any of us to dwell on the past. Yet, we must move into a new year despite the remnant of the masks and what they represent. May we go beyond the mask wearing and push to live in the Liberty that The LORD has given us. "STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." [Galatians 5:1] Now is the time to replenish minds, body, and soul that we may reflect the inner being of The Holy Spirit.
2021 is a new year and another opportunity to get rid of those things that are innocuous to the spirit that keeps one from prospering in the plan of God. The time has come to shed off the old and put on the new as we remember what The Apostle Paul says "die daily" [I Corinthians 15:31] because we become ineffective in Kingdom building when unwilling to change and to rid of non-productive choices. Allow yourselves to experience all of The LORD in this new year and that which He has intended for all of us: to inherit the Kingdom of God. Therefore, may we gain clarity in what The Spirit is speaking to all of us if we take time to listen and "renew our minds." [Romans 12:2] Believers in The Body of Christ have to be replenished to withstand the darts that come our way as we remain faithful and prayerful with determination to be the "lights of the world." Our presence and representation of Jesus Christ can change the present darkness.
I encourage you to shake off any old baggage that is weighing you down, take time to breathe, smile, and learn to enjoy the life that The LORD has given because each day is a precious gift from Him. May you have a Blessed, healthy, and prosperous New Year in The LORD.
Love-in-Christ, Apostle Joni A. Kindell
