E68: New Year's Eve Special Day 8 | How I Embraced Divine Redirections | Birthed into Purpose
🎆 NEW YEAR'S EVE SPECIAL 🎆
The Magi traveled for months to find Jesus. They knew the way home—tested, familiar, safe. Then God said: "Don't go back the way you came. Go ANOTHER way."
And on this New Year's Eve—the last day of this year, the threshold between what was and what's coming—God is saying the same thing to YOU: Don't go back the way you came.
In this powerful New Year's Eve episode, Desiree Day explores what it means to close out one year and enter another with divine redirection. Because you can't enter 2026 going back to the old way.
The "old way" the Magi wanted to take? It led straight back to Herod—to danger, to the very thing God was protecting them from. Your "old way" might be leading you back to the very thing God delivered you FROM.
As you stand on the threshold of a new year, what "old way" are you NOT taking into 2026? What old patterns, old mindsets, old relationships, old fears do you need to leave behind TONIGHT?
The Magi's flexibility didn't just protect them—it protected the Savior. Your willingness to go "another way" in this new year isn't just about you. It's about who you're protecting, what you're preserving, and where God is leading.
✨ Today's Transformation: From going back to the old way → Embracing God's new direction
✨ Scripture Focus: Matthew 2:12 (KJV & NLT)
✨ New Year's Eve Action: Name what you're NOT taking into 2026—make it official tonight!
Perfect for listening as you reflect on this past year and prepare to enter 2026 with fresh direction.
