There are many books out there that can inform you, but only God's holy book, can transform you.

To transform is to change the condition or nature of a thing.  We were sinner's and Jesus is transforming us into a righteous child of God.

 In other words, we were worms that Jesus changed into a butterfly. Woohoo!

 Like the caterpillar has to go into the cocoon, and there is much activity going on inside of that cocoon, it is the same with us.  

 There is much activity going on with God's kids, as they are being transformed. Going from walking in the flesh (our old nature) into walking in the Spirit.

 2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

 Remember Moses covered the evidence of the glory of God with a veil, so the children could not see the glory fading away.

 As God's children we have unveiled faces, let your light so shine, the glory of the Lord is on us.

 As we walk this road of life in this world many things will perplex us, be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome this world. He has gone before and prepared our way.

 We can read a lot of books of instruction, testimonies and how to books, but there is only one book that can transform you. God's word, the bible.

 Only God's word is active and alive. The Holy Spirit is always on the move in our life.  

 When we read the bible it is alive and will convict us and change us from glory to glory.

 Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is LIVING and POWERFUL and sharper that any two -edge sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

 Think about this beloved, as we read God's word it will show us the thoughts and intents of our heart.

 Sometimes we don't know the intents of our heart.
God's word will show it to us.

 I have had this happen recently, I was thinking one thing, and as I read Joshua 13:1-2, God spoke clearly to my heart, even though I am older, there is still much to be done, many nations to be conquered. 

 Those nations represent things in our life that need to be conquered, so that transforming power of God can work in us.

 Beloved, that word is clear and very much alive, no matter our age, there is still much work to be done in our lives. 

 As we yield to the work of the Holy Spirit, we will be transformed.

 God bless your day
Jesus loves you
Love in Jesus

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
