Isaiah 43: It’s a New Day
Isaiah 43:18-19 says, “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
It is a new season; it’s a new day. Just as we’re shifting from summer to fall—as seasons shift in the natural realm—seasons also shift in the spirit.
If you drive from Connecticut to New York, you’ll see a big “welcome” sign as you cross the state line but it still feels like you’re in Connecticut because you’ve just crossed the border. It’s the same in the spirit: you may not sense the new day because your circumstances and surroundings seem the same. But when you receive a sign that it’s a new day, if you’ll just keep moving forward and pressing in, you’ll begin to see that you really are in a whole new place.
I believe we are in a brand new day, where mysteries from heaven are being revealed. New revelations from the throne room of heaven are being released. New anointings, mantles, callings and giftings are being manifested. New supply chains and rivers of resource are opening up to God’s people because we are in a very powerful spiritual season.
Good friends of ours and true prophets of the Lord, Paul Keith and Amy Davis, recently came to Word Alive and released a prophetic word that “it is a new day.” They prophesied over my wife Beverly and me, but also for those who are connected to us. This word is for all of us.
Beverly also has a powerful prophetic gift, and within moments of being prayed over, she experienced a throne room encounter, and the whole atmosphere in our sanctuary shifted. Now, we are literally seeing the manifestations of a “brand new day.” New things are occurring.
I pray that as you watch this video, you will have eyes to see and ears to hear that it is a new season for you in your family and your sphere of influence.
Watch this prophetic word, receive the shift in your own life, and be blessed.

The Power of Repentance
When you hear the word repentance, what comes to mind? For most of us, it means feeling sorry for something we did wrong, but it’s actually much more powerful than that. Repentance comes from the Greek word metamorphoo, which is where we get the word metamorphosis. Just like the process that turns a caterpillar into a butterfly, our struggles are what God uses to bring us to a place of repentance or transformation.
To repent literally means “to go back up”; to go back to the high place. We are in a season of the Hebraic calendar known as teshuva—repentance—and it is a period of 40 days when we look into our hearts and return to God so we can be restored to the high place.
This is a time to celebrate our struggles because they have produced power in us to transform. Jesus said, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near” (Matthew 3:2). There is a higher way of living, and that is what God is leading us to in this season. Be encouraged during this powerful time of transformation!
