If we are hearing what the Spirit is saying to the churches in this hour, I am sure we are hearing above all else
the word, “PREPARE.” It is an hour of preparation. God always prepares His people when He is about to do
some new thing... and a “new thing” He is doing in the earth at this time.
Let us not get disturbed at the thought that God might be doing something new. Let us not think that our God
has exhausted His resources, as some would have us believe, when they tell us that God never does anything
new. He has always been doing new things. From the time He placed man on the earth, and unto this day, He
has been reaching into His own heart of wisdom and knowledge and truth and bringing forth new things. For
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of men, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit.” (1 Cor. 2:9, 10)
Has our God finally expended all His treasures of wisdom and knowledge upon His people, so that now at this late
hour He has nothing more to say or do but to bring forth the old? Certainly we appreciate how God has worked of old,
but the true steward of the mysteries of God will continue to bring forth from his treasures “things new and old”
... for God is a God who reserves His very best for the last, and He bids us now to buy of Him “eyesalve to anoint our
eyes, that we might see” - that we might see and behold new workings, new unfoldings of His purposes, new insights
into His ways, new glimpses of His glory and presence.

“Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.” (Isa. 42:9)
