He Says, “Behold, I Am Making All Things New”

By Kathi Pelton

February has some significant events in my life. One of those is February 22nd because it takes me back to one of the sweetest encounters I’ve ever had with the Father. I love to share it because I know that it is not just for me— but is an experience that can be “poured over you” too!

During the time period that I had this experience, my family hosted a weekly night of prayer and worship in our home. Every week our time with each other and the Lord was so precious— God’s presence was tangible. On that particular night of February 22nd, as we worshipped together, the presence of the Lord was both powerful and so sweet. At one point his presence came upon me so powerfully that I began to cry and tremble. I knew it was his presence but did not know that I was about to have an experience that I’d never forget.

His presence ushered me into an experience where I found myself in the spirit, sitting in a wooden chair. As I sat there, our Heavenly Father came and knelt down at my feet. I could not see his face but I knew it was him. When he knelt down I began to shake and weep even harder (in the natural and in the experience)— his love and affection absolutely overwhelmed me.

But, I wondered why He would kneel at my feet when I should be kneeling at His?

Then, to my great surprise, He picked up a beautiful jar— it was like what I’d pictured the alabaster jar that the woman broke and poured over the feet of Jesus looking like. To my even greater surprise, the Father broke this jar open and as he did he began to pour it’s contents over me feet.

What this jar held was the intense love and affection of his son, Jesus. It was as if Jesus was being poured out as oil over my feet— just as he was broken and poured out for each of us upon the cross.

Then the Father began washing my feet with the love and broken sacrifice of his son. I was completely undone.

As this was happening, I heard the Lord speak theses words,

“Behold, I am making all things new.”

I felt washed and cleansed from the dust of the path that I had been on. As if the dirt from a long walk on a dusty road was being washed away. I felt a flood of His presence wash over me and wrap around me that filled me; renewing and the cleansing my soul. His presence filled me and His love overtook me like a balm upon wounds from past seasons.

This is how much our Father loves us and how he desires to pour out his son upon us anew— to wash us and make all things new.

“Cease striving and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

Every February 22nd is a marker of how he makes all things new…

“Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”” Revelation‬ ‭21:5‬
