Live in the New

Jim Hodges — We embark on a new year. Most of you would remember back in the 1980s when the Ephesians 4:11 ministry gift of prophets began to emerge as a global movement. I recall these phrases from the prophets’ utterances: (1) “It’s a new day” and (2) “It’s a new season.” Today, we hear these words from prophets and apostles: “It’s a new era.” 

I love these words about the NEW. The Lord God is always working to make all things new (Revelation 21:5). We hopefully understand that this promise is not just applied to the end of history and to eternity. It applies now in the unfolding of history! After all, the Lord Jesus came in history to introduce the new covenant and to inaugurate the new creation. His Ekklesia Church is a part of both and is the agent for the ongoing work of renewal among the peoples of the earth and the cosmic order itself (Colossians 1:15-20). Let’s continue to prophesy the new and to live in the new!
