Break Through, Break In & Break Out

Dear New Life Family,

Here we are again at the beginning of another year. Reflecting on 2024, it has been a year marked by intentionality in pursuing God’s direction for our lives and our church family. Together, we embraced His call to go deeper in prayer, lower in humility through service, wider as we partnered with the Holy Spirit in ministry and further as we embraced the generosity of Jesus, sharing freely from all that we have received.

As we step into 2025, we have a deep sense that it will be a year of much challenge, change, and transformation. To help memorably explain this, God wants each of us to experience a breaking-through, a breaking-in, and a breaking-out.

Break-Through: Freedom in Christ

God longs to break the chains that have bound us for too long. Whether these are patterns of fear, doubt, sin or destructive habits, He desires to lead us into a greater freedom that reflects His love and truth. Many of us carry mindsets that hinder our ability to fully embrace God’s plans and purposes for our lives. But the Father calls us to tear down these barriers and live the abundant life He has promised. This year, let us release the weights that entangle us, allow God to give us victory in our lives as we submit to His will, and walk in the freedom Jesus secured for us.

Break-In: The Holy Spirit in Our Daily Lives

The Holy Spirit desires to invade our everyday existence in ways we have yet to imagine. This is not about isolated moments of spiritual experience but a daily communion that transforms our hearts, homes, and relationships.

Imagine what our lives could look like if we welcomed the Holy Spirit into every corner of our lives. Revival doesn’t begin in grand meetings but in the quiet surrender of each day. So, let’s pray for this powerful ‘break-in’, trusting that God wants to work incredibly for our good and His glory.

Break-Out: Enlarged Hearts and Minds

God is calling us to dream bigger and expect more. The old methods and mindsets will not suffice for what He wants to do in and through us in 2025. Breaking out means stepping beyond what’s familiar and comfortable and venturing into new areas of faith and obedience. When we align our hearts with His, He will stretch our capacity to love, serve, and believe for greater things. Together, we will witness a movement of God that overflows the boundaries of tradition and touches every aspect of life.

As we embrace this vision for 2025, let’s do so with faith and excitement. May we experience a break-through in freedom, a break-in of the Holy Spirit’s presence, and a break-out into a fuller life with God and one another. Let’s stand united and boldly declare: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” – Matthew 6:10.

As you and your family embark on the exciting journey of 2025, keep the inspiring words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in mind: “Only God knows the future. If we have Him, we have the future secure”.

Much Love,

Nico & Rashelle
