The New Calendar

Friday, October 25, 2019

One of the ways the children of Israel were unique was their calendar. God gave them a new calendar. He told them in Exodus 12 that the month of Aviv or Nisan would now be the beginning of months for them. That means that it wasn’t the beginning of months for them before that time. Thus, God had them start a new calendar, with a new beginning, a new year; a calendar different from the old one. If you are born again, then you are a spiritual child of Israel. That means you too, must learn to go by a new calendar in the Spirit. Every child of God must live by a new calendar. The old calendar begins with your old birth - the new, with your new birth. In the old calendar, every day you get older. But in the new calendar, you have the power to grow newer every day. In the new calendar, there’s no past of shame, guilt, failure, or darkness - it’s new every day. Live in the new. Start each day fresh, newly begun, as if everything is new - because it is - in the new calendar.
