Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19
Sound the alarm! Arise and Shine! Open your eyes and see the manifestations of the Lord!! Across the nation (e.g. Maryland and Tennessee) “the waters are breaking!” God is doing a new thing…will you not be aware of it? Count it all joy for the Kingdom of God is here! The birthing of a New Season, a New Year, a New Manifestation of God’s grace and mercy…the ushering in of a “new” wineskin has arrived! Position yourself for the birthing process. Position your hearts. Position your minds in the manner of the prophet Elijah and get in the “birthing” position and P.U.S.H. (pray until something happens) for God is making a “roadway in the wilderness…rivers in the desert (dry places).” For the Spirit of the Lord says to His people, “this is not a time to fear but to look up for your redemption draws neigh. I have redeemed you from the curse of the enemy. I have redeemed you and will protect you in the days to come. Bear fruit and occupy. Bring in My harvest. Stand firm and trust me. Listen and obey when I speak for I will surely bring My people through even the darkest night!”
Oh Lord,
I pray that Your eye’s will always be before my own.
That my feet may not stray from the straight and narrow road where You hold and lead me by my hand.
I pray that my heart will always know You wherever You may be.
In words or deeds
In thoughts or feelings
Will I know You, and You only.
In Your name, Jesus I pray
Amen

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to “recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.
