Be Transformed

By the renewing of your mind.

Jesus said come as you are. What He didn’t say was stay that way. His word tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, so we can know what His good, pleasing, and perfect will is. The New Living Translation says let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. So we have to keep in mind that when we walk in ways that aren’t according to God’s word and His desires for our lives, His correction won’t appeal to our feelings. God is loving. God is good. But our flesh can steer our emotions, and our flesh is contrary to God. If our flesh “isn’t that bad” He wouldn’t have had to die for our sins.

He loved us enough to die for us, to meet us right where we’re at, but He didn’t die so we could just stay there. Hence the need to change the way we think. His commands and ways are for our benefit. Our flesh and its inherit sinful nature bring bondage. Funny how the enemy can trick you into believing it’s the other way around. Be mindful of that family.

We were bought at the highest cost imaginable!! Embrace what He has and crucify your flesh. He died and gave us access to all of it, we just have to decide if we want His way, or ours, and in these last days, our ways will cost us everything. His ways will bring us everything. Be blessed this beautiful day!!

“For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.”
