New Beginnings with the New Moon

A Fresh Start and Sacred Renewal

The New Moon: A Divine Symbol of Renew. The new moon is a time of darkness, a pause before the moon begins its journey back to fullness. In this moment of stillness, we are reminded that even in our darkest times, Yahusha is with us, guiding us toward His light.

 The new moon symbolizes the promise of renewal —

 Just as the moon will soon grow bright again, so too can we find renewal in our lives through Yahusha’s grace. At WBJMinistries, we see the new moon as a metaphor for spiritual rebirth. It is a time to let go of the past and look forward with hope and faith. 

In 2( Qorin'tiyim )Corinthians 5:17, we are reminded, "Therefore, if anyone is in Mashiach, he is a renewed creature – the old has passed away, see, all has become renewed!"

Just as the moon starts fresh each cycle, we too can become new creations in Yahusha, shedding old habits and embracing a life filled with His light. Reflecting on Our Journey the new moon is a powerful time for reflection. 

It offers a moment to pause and look back on our journey with Yahusha, celebrating the victories He has brought us through and acknowledging the areas where we may have fallen short.

 At WBJMinistries, we encourage our community to take this time to reflect deeply on their spiritual path. Are there areas in your life where you feel stuck or distant from Yahusha? Are there habits or thoughts that have hindered your growth? 

David prays, in Psalms (Tehillim )139:23-24 "Search me, O Elohim, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."As we reflect under the new moon, let us invite Yahusha to search our hearts, cleanse us of anything that separates us from Him.

And lead us toward His everlasting path. Setting Intentions: Aligning Our Lives with Yahusha’s Will Just as the new moon marks a new beginning, it is also a powerful time to set intentions and align our lives with Yahusha’s will. 

At WBJMinistries, we believe that setting intentions is more than just making resolutions; it is about committing our hearts and minds to the purpose Yahusha has for us. As we enter this new lunar cycle, let us ask Yahusha to reveal His will for our lives.

Proverbs (Mishlĕ) 16:3 reminds us "Commit your works to יהוה, And your plans shall be established."

 When we align our intentions with Yahusha’s will, we open ourselves up to His blessings and guidance. Take this time to pray and seek Yahusha’s direction. What new habits can you cultivate that will bring you closer to Him? What steps can you take to live more fully in His light?

Releasing the Past: Trusting in Yahusha’s Redemption to fully embrace new beginnings, we must be willing to release the past. The new moon is a time to let go of old hurts, regrets, and failures, trusting in Yahusha’s redemption. 

At WBJMinistries, we believe that no matter what has happened in the past, Yahusha offers us a fresh start. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"Yahusha’s grace is sufficient for all our needs.

 By releasing the past, we make room for Yahusha’s new work in our lives. Let go of any guilt, shame, or bitterness that may be holding you back. Trust that Yahusha is doing a new thing in your life, and be open to the new possibilities He has in store for you.

Embracing the Journey: Moving Forward with Faith as we embrace this new beginning, let us remember that our journey with Yahusha is a continuous one. The new moon marks a fresh start, but it is also a reminder that growth is a lifelong process. 

At WBJMinistries, we encourage our community to move forward with faith, trusting that Yahusha will guide us every step of the way.

(Philippiyim )Philippians 3:13-14 encourages us, "Brothers, I do not count myself to have laid hold of it yet, but only this, forgetting what is behind and reaching out for what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of Elohim in Mashiaḥ יהושע."

 As we move forward, let us keep our eyes fixed on Yahusha, trusting that He will lead us toward the fulfillment of His promises. 

Here's A Prayer for New Beginnings -heavenly Father, as we stand on the day of this new moon.

We thank You for the opportunity to begin anew. We ask for Your guidance as we reflect on our journey and set our intentions for the days ahead. Help us to release the past and trust in Your redemption. Fill us with Your light and lead us on the path of righteousness. 

May we embrace this new beginning with faith and hope, knowing that You are with us always. In Yahusha’s name, we pray, Amen.

At WBJMinistries, we believe that each new moon is a gift from Yahusha, a chance to start fresh and recommit ourselves to His purpose.

 As you reflect on this new beginning, remember that Yahusha’s love is ever-present, guiding you toward a brighter and more fulfilling future. Embrace this new moon with an open heart and a willing spirit, and watch as Yahusha does a new thing in your life.
