“Don’t bite off more than you can chew. And don’t reject small beginnings. In some ways you are starting over again, a new beginning in a new direction. To do this, you must be mold-able, and able to change direction when it is time to do so. Too many people have become established in their own routines and ways, inflexible to change, even if change is required and needed so they can become all that I’ve planed for them.
They carry with them baggage which prevent them from accomplishing their ultimate purpose. A purpose which in tales a revised vision and a hope to achieve their destiny. They are like old rigid wine skins that will break apart or rupture when I desire to fill them up with new wine. The Holy Spirit is the oil, which softens the wine skins to become flexible, so it can receive the new wine.
You are being stretched and made useable. You still have good health, and given time to start again, and to restore what the enemy has stolen, and to move toward a new beginning. But this time you must have sensitive hearing ears, and eyes to see what I Am doing, and where I Am leading you.
Your life is not over, but being rejuvenated and restored to make up for lost time. Don’t let logic and common sense be the primary source of your thinking and motivation; but learn to live by faith. Don’t even compare yourself with contemporaries of your own age group. You are never too old to do my purpose or will; because I will give you all you need to accomplish the purpose I will be setting before you.
Don’t let the enemy deceive you, or prevent you from becoming what you are meant to be. Joyce is right, when she tells you not to focus on age, or to talk about it, or consider it as an obstacle or negative. For I can renew youthful vitality to anyone I chose.
Some successfully achieve great and mighty exploits in their youth, and in others their greatest accomplishments are in their latter years, such as it was with Moses. So don’t give up, and don’t quit, for the best is yet to come. And as you walk according to My ways, I will renew your strength as eagles, and you will run and not get weary, because I Am giving you a second wind to finish the race set before you.
To those who are called according to My purpose, nothing will be impossible. Focus on what you have to do now to be a participant in the race. And let go of those things which drag you down, and diverting your attention away from those things which you should be focusing on. Distractions can be your worst enemy, by preventing you from being all that I’ve planned for your destiny.
I will open doors, and close doors; so make certain that you seek for discernment to know the direction I have for you.”
