I encourage you today to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to do a new thing in your life.

I know it’s the end of the month of September. But God’s word says in the book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 7, Verse 8: “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning.”

So as I write this article at the end of the month of September, I pray that someone may take heed to these words of encouragement.

Sometimes things don’t always go the way we plan them. Someone reading this article may be saying to themselves, “Lord Jesus I’m tired of the old lifestyle I’m living. I haven’t been baptized. I haven’t been born again. I don’t go to church. I don’t read and study my Bible and it seems like nothing is going right for me.”

Well, if that’s you, read Romans Chapter 10, Verses 9, 10 and 11. You can become a new creature in Christ Jesus and have a new beginning in your life. It’s not too late.

The word of God says according to Second Corinthians Chapter 5, Verse 17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things pass away, behold all things are become new.”

Let me paraphrase that for you. It means if you’ve been born again and you are a new creature in Christ Jesus, that old lifestyle you used to live, you don’t want to do it anymore.

That’s because you are starting anew in your life.

Lamentations Chapter 3, Verse 23 says, “They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. His mercy is new every morning. And every day we have a new beginning with Christ.”

So make today a new beginning in your life. Ask God to help you in your new life. See when you have that new life in Christ Jesus. No one has to beg you or make you come to church, or Bible study.

It’s in your heart and you got a new spirit in Christ Jesus and you want to do it.

I hope I have said something in this article to help somebody to start a new beginning in their life.
