With the New Year approaching so many people are setting goals and I'm gonna
tell you in this video video why I think New Year's resolutions don't work I'm
gonna give you some practical on setting a New Year's revelation getting a word
from God so you can have the direction and the motivation that you need to be
able to make your next year your best year coming up next hey everyone welcome
to Wednesday's with Crystal I'm Crystal Sparks I'm so glad that you are here on
my channel hey whether this is your first time here or whether you watch
every single week I'm so glad that you are here every week on Wednesday I put
out a new video and my channels purpose is this is to help grow your faith and
help equip you to accomplish your dreams and your goals this is week we are
talking about getting a New Year's revelation you are gonna love this
content let's jump into it a new year brings with it so much excitement and
just I don't know what it is about January 1st that always just fills our
heart with excitement for what God's gonna do anticipation of what new
opportunities will come and I want to talk to you in this video about just how
I get word and direction from God and that really sets up success for the rest
of my year you know when you read about New Year's resolutions you see so many
people that have set them in fact eighty eight percent of people fail at keeping
their New Year's resolution here staggering statistic of that is 80
percent fail at the keeping their New Year's resolution before February 1st
that's pretty big deal 52 percent said that they are confident that they would
be able to complete it so that's so sad so 52 percent at the beginning of the
year we're like I'm so confident I'm going to be able to do this and yet 80
percent by February 1st have already failed 23 percent say that they forgot
what their goals even were and so why I think New Year's resolutions don't work
I'm going to give you two reasons why I think New Year's resolutions do not work
and number one is they keep the focus on you they make it all about you it makes
it you usually make a New Year's resolution
thinking about the failures your inadequacy the areas that you came up
short so usually what people do is in December we start analyzing our life and
thinking about the areas that we feel like we failed and then we try to set a
goal to try to offset our weakness and the sad thing about that is we are
always going to end up being frustrated and stressed out when we live our lives
in that way see frustration will always come from
doing things that God has not called you to do
see I love in the Bible it talks about that the law empowers sin but grace
gives us the power the ability to overcome it so here's the thing is when
we make a list of things that were bad at you know what we continue to repeat
in our life the things that were bad at so I think the year's resolutions don't
work because number one we make it all about us and number two is we focus on
what we don't want so again we make the list of all the things that we don't
want and we set that as our goals instead of saying God what are you doing
in my life see your life is moving in the area that you focus and so we must
know our purpose and then do it on purpose
not know our failures and then avoid them at all costs no we need to know our
purpose and then begin to do those things on purpose see I love this quote
and I heard it from a pastor friend of mine pastor Laurence Neeson and he said
a new rhythm in a new year creates a new normal that will produce a new you I
love that so much I wanna say that again a new rhythm in a
new year creates a new normal that will produce a new you see what problem with
New Year's resolutions is we say them out loud we tell everybody in our life
and then we move on and just hope that things will work out differently now let
me just tell you that's that's foolishness because it just doesn't work
but a nears revelation is the new rhythm in a new year that creates a new normal
that will produce a new you so what is in ears revelation a news revelation to
me is this is a God spoken word and in that God spoken word
comes the power and the ability to accomplish it now I want you to think
about every person in the Bible that did great things for God they did it because
God called them to do it they didn't wake up one morning and think man I'm
gonna part the Red Sea I'm gonna leave over a million people
through the wilderness into a promised land they didn't just wake up one day
and think man at my old age I think what I'm going to do is see my wife get
pregnant know every single person that did something great for God they didn't
make a new year's resolution they didn't set goals around the things that they
felt like they were coming short in no instead they spent time in the presence
of God they heard God's voice and then they begin to act on what God said and
an ears revelation is just that it's you getting before God and saying God what
do you want for me for this next year Lord what are you speaking to my heart
into my life revelation 119 says this write down everything you see and hear
see a new years revelation is this is a God breathed word to our hearts that we
write down what we what we've seen and what we've heard so I'm going to break
this down really simple why think new year's revelations are important number
one it keeps you focused it is like your mission statement for the year it's
something that you keep before your eyes it keeps you focused here's the thing is
that whenever you're going maybe you're going from East Texas to downtown Dallas
the first step that you would do is put it in your GPS why because it's going to
keep you focused so while you're driving down the road and you're talking to your
friends and you got all this stuff going on you're listening to a podcast and
you're going down the road it's gonna tell you when it's turn gonna be time to
turn why because the GPS job is to keep you focused and your new year's
revelation does just that it keeps you focused you run everything that you're
about to do and every opportunity that comes across your path through that new
year's revelation so last year my word was go I remember the Lord spoke it to
me in December and I thought it was so silly of December of 2017 the Lord said
I want you to go in fact I was getting out of the shower and the Lord said
you're gonna go to the north south east and the west and I said god this is
ridiculous it is December I'd have anything on my calendar for next
year where you want me to go the only place I'm gonna go is North Dallas South
Dallas East Ellison West Dallas right it seems so silly but all year long I had
to work go and so I put it on my wall here in my office and everything every
morning when I begin to pray it's a god I think you that you called me to go
wherever you call me to go I'll go and you know what this entire year I've
flown more this year and gone to more countries more states than I have and
all the other years combined and I say that to say it didn't look like that was
going to happen when the Lord said it but when I began to attach that word to
my life it came with it with the power and the
ability to be able to accomplish it so it keeps us focused
I love whenever I was on a run back in 2016 I believe it was no sorry 2015 I
was out on a run and the Lord our church had just grown really quickly and on
that run the Lord said crystal this next year I want you to turn a crowd into
disciples turn a crowd into disciples he said
everything you do this year I want you to think about that so for the entire
next year that's all I focused on is turning a
crowd into disciples he told me GE a.m. I want you to gather equip and mobilize
my people and so the entire year you know what I did I had turning a crowd
into disciples I had that on the top of everything I did in every decision and
every opportunity that came across my desk I asked myself how is this going to
help us make disciples how is this going to help me be able to train up new
leaders and if the answer was I couldn't then I didn't take the opportunity see
that word from God kept me focused all throughout the year before we moved here
to a more City area to plant one church God told me crystals sometimes you're
gonna have to stay when it'd be easier to go and other times you're gonna have
to go when it would be easier to say see sometimes you get one word and then
sometimes God will give you a sentence but I would just boil it down to this
it's the thing that just won't get out of your heart a lot of times I think
what we dismiss is our conscience is actually God speaking to us and
sometimes we think it's going to I'm in this loud booming voice and
really truly it's just impression and so that impression is what keeps us focused
for the rest of year number two why I think New Year's
resolutions work ready and number two is it inspires us when times are hard and
inspires us when times are hard John 1520 says this Jesus is talking to the
people he said remember what I have told you and he goes on into what he said
see here's the thing is that whenever we get in ears revelation it inspires us
when times are hard it reminds us what God has said it tells us it to be brave
in the face of fear see the word go seemed like a foolish word when you have
nothing on your calendar you don't even look like you're gonna go on vacation
that year right but get at the same time it helped inspire me when times were
hard and you know what up until the very last month of the year
God had me doing just that going and so when you get a new year's revelation
it'll help inspire you when times get hard number three it keeps you focused
on God see a new years revelation should be so big that without God you can't do
it and that's what I love about nears revelation verses a New Year's
resolution is all about you and how you can do it a news revelation puts all
your focus on God and the dependency God unless you open these doors I'm not
going to be able to go anywhere God unless you help me I'm not going to be
able to turn a crowd into disciples and Deuteronomy 11 18 it says therefore you
shall lay up my word in your minds and hearts and in your entire being and bind
them for a sign upon your hands and as a forehead bands between your eyes see I
love that scripture so much because God's letting us know hey listen I want
you to have your my words around you everywhere you look I want you to see
what I've told you and why is he saying that because he wanted to make sure that
the people's dependency was wholly on him and that's why I put it on my wall
that's why I write it at the top of my journals throughout the year and that's
why I do those things why because I want to make sure I keep focused I want to
make sure that I'm inspired when times are hard and I want to make sure that my
whole trust in my reliance is only on God so hey I hope that you get
some time this week the best way to get an ears revelation from God is to get
alone with God get a pen and some paper get in a quiet place put your phone in
another room and just begin to ask God God what are you saying to me for this
next year God what do you want to do in this next year where are you taking me
what are you saying and I promise you this the Bible says that when we draw
near to him the he'll draw near to us and you'll see that God is a talking God
he's going to show up and give you exact Direction for this next year so hey I
hope you got something out of that give me a favor and share this video with
