SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

August 2

I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea.  I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband.  I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: “Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They’re his people, he’s their God. He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.” The Enthroned continued, “Look! I’m making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate.”

Revelation 21:1-5 (MSG)

What if the vision God gave you needs time to shape you before it comes to life through you? In Revelation 21:1–5 (MSG), John sees God making all things new, reminding us that Engaging The Holy means trusting God's future enough to sit with the vision until it matures in us and we mature into the people who can faithfully carry it. What is High And Lifted Up is a life that refuses to let today's pain define tomorrow's possibilities because God's promise is always greater than our present reality. Our communities have always survived by holding on to a vision beyond what our eyes could see, believing that faith, perseverance, and God's presence could transform families, neighborhoods, and generations. Dream Big, because the God who makes all things new is already preparing a future greater than you can presently imagine. Decide To Become the person your God-given vision requires, allowing patience, character, and faith to grow as the vision grows within you. Demonstrate Your Power by living the vision today, encouraging your family and community to embrace God's new possibilities, and helping others rise High And Lifted Up as together you Engage the Holy.
