Restart: Letting Go of the Old to Receive Everything God Has Made New

Core Message

God is not restoring what you lost—He is creating something entirely new and unprecedented, and the moment you release the old and take your first step into His promise, your beginning is no longer small.

Key Scripture

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

3 Key Takeaways

  1. God is building what has never existed before, not returning you to a former state, so clinging to restoration prevents you from receiving something better.
  2. Every test and setback you face is God preparing and establishing you in new territory where no enemy can move you once you are set.
  3. You cannot hold onto the old while receiving the new—the two are incompatible, and releasing what was is required to step into what God has planned.

Prayer Focus

Pray that God will help you release your obsession with what was lost and give you the courage to step fully into the new thing He is creating for you.

But what God has for you is bigger, better. New or something that has never been seen. But if you are obsessed with restoration, God cannot give you something new.
