It's a New Season...

I have been awakened very early for the past week rising at about 3am each morning. We just returned from the Northern Region Campmeeting in Ohio. The Lord really moved mightily in the services there, but I sensed that God was only begining to do something great...

Krista and I have gone through a very dry season since October of 2004. In October of 2004 the Lord spoke to me about "transition" in ministry (to read what the Lord spoke to me in October of 2004 - click here). What a transition we have been through. I thought that it was a word to be spoken to others. However, I have found that it was also a personal word to the ministry that He has blessed us with also. During this time of transition, there have been times that we have wanted to throw our hands up and say - "We quit, We've had enough" - but we held on. Many of you now reading this have probably been through it also this past year, and you also have wanted to quit. But you didn't. You are still there, hanging on. Hold on ..."It's a New Season!"

During the Northern Region Campmeeting my cousin, Lisa Seuis, of Raise the Praise Ministries was singing just before I was to come and minister the word for that night. She was singing "The Best Is Yet To Come" and I personally began to experience a breakthrough as the anointing flowed through the words of that song. As she continued to sing, the Lord began to speak to me personally and He said that "your wilderness experience is over". And this week as I was awakened early each morning, the Spirit has spoken to me that we have indeed entered into a new season, and not only for our ministry, but also many others who have been walking through a dry wilderness experience. You were there for a season, not fully understanding why, but you were there. There were some things that you would have never understood without this experience, and you now have an anointing that you would not have come to have apart from this dry season in your life. Some have even as we have experienced a "pruning" so to speak. Some things that you would have never turned loose of, you have let them go, in order to remain in Christ. You would have never let them go apart from this wilderness, but have now released them in order to release the "weight" or burden. What the enemy intended for your destruction, God turned it to make you better, not bitter. You are not the same person you were going in, but you are now coming out... you are coming out with a new understanding, a new knowledge, a new, fresh, powerful anointing... I declare to you - it is a New Season in your life!

Here is what the Spirit is speaking to me to share with you...

Listen, this is what God is saying... "for I know the plans I have for you and I know what you are going through. I know that right now you can't see what tomorrow holds, but just remember I know the plans I have for you.

My plan is to give you hope for tomorrow, joy for your sorrow, strength for everything that you go through. But you must remember that I know the plans that I have for you."

He is making a way where there seemed to be no way for somebody right now, even as you read this. You have tried to figure it out, you have tried to reason it out and have failed in doing so... but He knows the way, and you must remember that He knows the plans He has for you.

He says, "My ways are higher than your ways, my thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and I know the plans I have for you. You have wondered and questioned why? You have not understood the season that you have passed through, but remember, I know the plans I have for you - to give you peace, not evil, to give you an expected end. For your latter shall be greater than your past and I will bless you with more than you can ask for. Despite all that has been done, even those things that no one knows about, things that even you can't talk about, things no one knows about, not even those closest to you, the things that only you and I know that you have been through - remember what I say to you now... your best is yet to come, your latter will be greater, what's yet ahead of you will be greater than the rest."

It has been one year since the word God gave me about "transition" and "change". But today has started a New Season. Why don't you you right now as I have, begin to prophesy to yourself... "My latter will be greater than my past - my best is yet to come!"

Jeremiah 29:11 says... "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive."

One of the lines in the song that was sung that night at the campmeeting said, "When you look all you see is a pile of broken pieces, and the naked eye can only see the ashes of some disillusioned dreams. But I want you to know there is more than meets the eye, not everybody knows the path you've taken, you've been walking by faith and not by sight. You've given up a hundred times but still you're on this road to the destiny you know God has for you. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"

Make a decision right now to rise up every morning and declare - "It is a new season in my life, in my ministry, in my home, in my business, my latter shall be greater than my past, the best is yet to come!!"

It's a new day, fresh anointing is flowing your way, a new season of power and prosperity is coming your way!

I pray that this message has encouraged you, and want to ask you to write to us and let us know. God has given our ministry a fresh anointing and I want to personally lift you up in prayer. Your best is yet to come!

Sincerely,
Evangelist Donnie & Krista Miller
