EXPEDITING NEW BEGINNINGS
Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?(NKJV)
Be alert...I'm about to do something brand-new. (MSG)
(Isaiah 43:19)
For the last several years, the Lord has given us a prophetic theme for the ministry at the beginning of the year. "Strategic Positioning", "Supernatural Acceleration", "Synergetic Relationships", and "Implementation" have been themes that have hallmarked our outreaches during the past few years.The theme that has been impressed in our spirits for 2018 is "Expediting New Beginnings".
We are believing this is not only the start of a new year, but the beginning of a new spiritual season in the ministry of Harvestime and in the lives of our partners around the world--including YOU. The past is just that: It is past! Stop living in it. Step dwelling on it. Stop trying to rewrite it mentally. God is ready to expedite new things! It is a year of "new beginnings" plural. It is not just "a new beginning"--singular. God has many new things to reveal and do in you and through you in the coming year. These things will be supernaturally expedited and simply spring forth. It may be a new God-given ministry, plan, idea, or book.
Among other meanings, to "expedite" means "to facilitate". In the business world, expediting is a concept of planning progress--establishing goals for projects, making sure required goods arrive at the appointed time, imposing deadlines, supervising, and enabling progress on projects.
During the coming year, God will facilitate new things in your life. He wants to give you new goals and supernaturally supply what you need to accomplish them. Instead of lagging behind in your personal and spiritual life, He wants you to advance expeditiously--to experience new beginnings and new accomplishments for the Kingdom of God.
To become part of this expediting of these new manifestations, you must leave the past in the past and live each day as a new beginning. Open your heart and mind to new things--new ways to do necessary tasks. New ideas. New expansion in your ministry.

Argis and Patricia Hulsey
"There is a huge difference between a good idea and a God-idea. Good ideas may impress, but God-ideas will impact for eternity. They can change the course of history."
-The Kendrick brothers in the War Room
"So often we think about life in terms of what's happening today, this week, or next month. We need to try to look at things as God does, with an eye for eternity. Is what you are doing now making a lasting impact? Will it matter in another year, another decade, another century? Begin dedicating yourself to things that will still be important long after you are gone."
-John Maxwell
"...this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14, KJV)
