“next”

“NEXT” – Isaiah 43:1–7, 18–19 (AMP)

Prepared by Evang. Heaven L. Richardson

This message centers on God's divine preparation and positioning of His people for their next season. Drawing from Isaiah 43, it begins with a reminder of God's redeeming promise: He is our Creator, Redeemer, and Caller. He assures His presence through trials—whether waters, rivers, or fire—declaring that these challenges will not overwhelm or destroy us. We are precious in His sight, and He gathers us from every direction.

God commands us to forget the former things and not dwell on the past. He is doing a new thing—something fresh and transformative. This newness includes roads in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, symbolizing divine direction and provision in barren places. The message emphasizes that God's new will make us forget the old.

The prophetic declaration “NEXT!” is a spiritual battle cry. It speaks to the indescribable, unfathomable, and remarkable season ahead. When the enemy attacks, believers are encouraged to respond with “NEXT!”—a declaration of faith that God is not finished and greater is coming.
