The Simple Walk: 50 Days of Light

Day 41 – A New Thing

Are You Tied To Yesterday’s Ashes?

Scripture: Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

Highlights:

You’ve stared long enough at dry places.
You’ve cried over what didn’t survive… over doors that closed without warning.

But here comes the word of the Lord:
“I will do a new thing… now it shall spring forth.”

God doesn’t wait for your perfect moment. He moves in power, even in the middle of your mess. Even when it feels too late. Even when all you see is desert.

In this episode, we’re shaking the dust off old expectations and stepping into the river of new beginnings.
Because God isn’t recycling the past…
He’s doing something brand new.

Are You Tied To Yesterday’s Ashes?

If you’ve ever asked, “Lord, when will it be my turn?”
This is your word. This is your day. This is your now.

Listen in… a new thing is already springing forth.

Key Power Points:

🔹 God doesn’t need your old season to bless your new one.
🔹 “Now” is the timing of the Spirit when obedience aligns with surrender.
🔹 Rivers don’t just appear in deserts… they come by divine decree.
🔹 Letting go is the gateway to receiving what’s next.
🔹 If God is doing something new — you can’t stay tied to something expired.


Today’s Prayer:

Lord, I don’t want to miss what You’re doing because I’m still holding on to what You’ve already released.
I give You full permission to break cycles, open new doors, and ignite fresh purpose.
Lead me through this wilderness. Flood my dry places.
Do a new thing in me… and let it begin now.
In Jesus’ name… amen.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Are you tied to yesterday's ashes? The simple walk fifty
days of light, day forty one? A new thing. The
scripture Isaiah forty three or nineteen says, behold, I will

(00:49):
do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall
you not know it? I will even make away in
the wilderness and rivers in the desert. There comes a
point in the walk of every believer when God says,

(01:12):
forget what you've seen, let go what you've known. I'm
doing a new thing. You've cried enough over what was.
You've mourned the doors that closed. You've stared long enough

(01:37):
at the dried up river bed where hope used to flow.
But here the Lord today, Now it shall spring forth,
Not later, not when it all makes sense, Not when

(01:57):
you feel ready. Now, right in the place where nothing
has grown for years, right in the season where you've
questioned your strength, right in the wilderness, right in the desert,

(02:18):
God said, I'm making a way. I'm releasing rivers. Are
you tied to yesterday's ashes? The new thing doesn't look
like the old, It doesn't follow your blueprint or timeline.

(02:39):
It doesn't require permission from your past. It just begins,
So don't miss it. Looking backwards. Don't miss it waiting
for the crowd to approve, And don't miss it because
you're still tied to yesterday's ashes. God is the same,

(03:07):
but he is not still, He is not stuck, and
he is not silent. He moves forward and calls you
to follow. This new thing. It has your name on it.
Let me say that again. This new thing, it has

(03:30):
your name on it. It was made with you in mind,
and it's coming forth. Now, let's pray Heaven a father.
I lift up every heart that's been in a waiting room,
every soul that has lived in pause, and every spirit

(03:53):
that has been clinging to what used to be. Break
the chains of yesterday's loosen the grip of fear that
keeps us stuck, and open our eyes to the new
thing you are doing. Where we see wilderness, create a

(04:17):
pathlrd ooh, where we see desert, let rivers overflow. God,
you are not limited, so don't let us limit you.
We surrender our expectations and receive your newness in Jesus'

(04:42):
mighty name. Amen, before you go. If today's word pierced you,
don't scroll past it, click like, share this message and
make you you subscribe. These fifty days of light are

(05:04):
setting fire to the darkness and we're just getting started.
Meet me back here tomorrow. Don't walk alone, walk with me.
This is the simple walk. Fifty days of Light, Day

(05:27):
forty one, a new thing. Are you tied to yesterday's ashes?
God bless you. I hope this bless you. Have a
great day. By the ditt

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
