New Song Series #5- Out with the Old and in with the New

I invite the presence of the Lord to fill our homes, our rooms, our hearts, our minds, and our souls with new life. Will you join me? For some, this will be a difficult entry to read and frightening ground to consider. Our flesh resists the moving of God, and if God is moving, He is moving on our behalf. Our feet have to be willing to go, or we will be stuck. This means letting go of things, stuff, positions, etc.

We have to want the new and allow the Lord to move out the old. I was helping a friend move today. She had a bed that was over 20 years old. She was holding on to it and did not want to sell it, though she had no place to store it. It represented the “thing, things, and or her old life” she had and could hold on to. It represented her past, which was broken like so many of us who are reading this.


When we are in between the old and new, we can sense what is familiar to us and stay in a pattern of limbo or worse yet, stay stuck in the past. But folks, when I looked at the furniture, it was in terrible shape. It was beyond repair and time to give it away or sell it. This was a revelation to me. Often when we are stuck in the old, we don’t know we are stuck, but people on the outside can see we are stuck. This is what I saw today. I could see as an outsider the true condition of the bed and bedroom set. This is what we need. God can provide this spiritual vision or people who are close to us can call a situation for what it is. Even my husband told her to let it go. Letting go of this object is a big step of faith. I believe that she is getting a new life and second chance. I ask God to give you revelation right now. If you want to move on in God, you have to have the new song. Out with the old and in with new, I say!


If this is what your life looks like, you need to let it all go and ask the Lord to give you a new song, a new life. Again, I invite the presence of the Lord to fill our homes, our rooms, our hearts, our minds, and our souls with new life. Will you join me? For some, this will be a difficult and frightening to consider. Our flesh resists the moving of God, and if God is moving, He is moving on our behalf. Our feet have to be willing to go, or we will be stuck. This means letting go of things, stuff, positions, etc. It's time!

Song- Your Love (c) 2011 Ileana Reich

Title : Your Love


Verse One:
I’m running to my hiding place safe and secure
I reaching to my Savior’s arms, I trust and endure
Now I’m ready to climb the mountains
Now I’m ready to swim the deep seas,
Yes, I’m ready to face the giants
Because your love gives me peace

Chorus One:
Your love gives me peace
It’s your love that gives me peace
Stand and see the Salvation of God See the victory
Stand and see His mighty hand Covering you and me


Verse Two:
I’m coming to my secret place darkness has to flee
I’m standing in the holy place, Jesus calms my fears
Now I ‘m ready to walk in purpose
Now I’m ready to shout the victory
Yes I’m ready to face the giants
Because your love sets me free

Chorus Two:
Your love sets me free
It’s your love that sets me free
Stand and see the Salvation of God
See the victory
Stand and see His mighty hand touching you and me

Song- Nothing Too Great or Small (C) Ileana Reich

Verse 1
Bring your pain, bring your stains
Give them all to Jesus
Bring your cares, bring your doubts
Give them all to Jesus
Lay them down
He receives them all
Nothing is too great or too small
So bring them now

Chorus:
He healed the leper, made the blind to see
He walked on water and set the captives free
All things are possible to Him who believes
So bring them now

Verse 2
Bring your tears, bring your joy
Give them all to Jesus
Bring your praise, bring your gifts
Give them all to Jesus
Lay them down
He receives them all
Nothing is too great or too small
So bring them now

Chorus:
He healed the leper, made the blind to see
He walked on water and set the captives free
All things are possible to Him who believes
So bring them now.
