Songs for the Season

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my new Better Life Blog! I am so excited to be finally joining the rest of the Blogging world by sharing my thoughts and ideas.

What have I been doing? Well this weekend was incredible I had two events that blew me away with excitement! First there was the womens conference At Anderson Chapel CME Church in Holly Springs, MS with I guess about 300 women altogether. God was not only with us but he was in charge.

I found myself worshiping, crying and praising God till I nearly had no voice. The theme of the conference was "Loving God Enough." It spoke of letting go of things, attitudes and mindsets that we hold as dear and more important than our relationship with Him. During the Friday night session, while listening to an inspiring message by Evangelist Janice A. Hill, I heard the following words coming from the Holy Spirit,

Do you Love me Enough

Do you love me enough th let me reign.
Do you love me enough to truly change.
Do you love me.
Do you love me.
Will you make me your choice.
Do you love me enough to surrender your life.
Do you love me enough to e filled with Jesus Christ.
Do you love me.
Do you love me.
Do you love me with your life.

It was a song for the season. A new song. A song written at the spur of the moment for the very hour. Over and over God tells us to sing unto him a new song.
Psalms 33:3 says, Sing unto him a new song: play skillfully with a loud noise.
40:3 says, And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God...
96:1 O, sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the lord, all the earth.
Isaiah 42:10 Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth... Revelations 5:9 and they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthy tho take the book...

The references go on and on. As I meditated on this thought, I wondered what was so important about new songs and it occured to me that only when we are singing a new song unto God are we hearing what he is say-ing. We can hear what he is speaking in the present moment.

Songs from past moments are rooted in past revelation. The past moment is tied to a memory that as we re-member it, it means to reassemble the experience in our mind so God can challenge us to believe what he has already done. Then as we re-member, we put the images and the experiences together in our mind again. This inspires our faith in Him and incites God to do again what he did in the past. This is good.

But there are times when God switches reels. He changes course, and frequently we may not have a clue as to where he is going or what he is doing until that moment of revelation when all of a sudden we catch the vision, we understand what he has been orchestrating, or the pieces of the puzzle that once were scattered all over the floor come together and things make sense. It is in these moments that often the old songs are inappropriate for creating the re-memberance that God desires.

So, he deposits a new song. Our instruction is not to create it. Just to sing it. The song exists with the father and he releases it,--- brand new--- into our minds and faith enables us to sing something new that has never been heard before. The catch is, only those who are hearing him in the now present moment will hear a new song. New songs are for NOW. They are for this moment. You hear them in the now. You sing them in the now and often you may only get the next line after you sing the line in your mouth in this moment.

This is the process for hearing prophetic songs. This is one way they will come to you.

The new song becomes a memorial to the experience of the hour. It is a new altar, with a new message to re--member (assemble the images and events of a past moment again in your mind) what God is doing--right now.

Here is my question for you, when was the last time you heard what God was saying? When was the last time you had a new song? Listen to him. Meditate on his word and fellowship. Before you know it you will be singing a new song in no time.
