THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE OF JESUS AND LESS OF ME, THAT'S HOW A TRANSFORMED LIFE OUGHT TO BE.

WHEN WE ARE TRANSFORMED, THAT MEANS THAT WE ARE CHANGED, OUR CONDITION, AND NATURE HAS BECOME LIKE JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

 WE CAN ONLY BE TRANSFORMED BY RENEWING OUR MIND IN THE WORD OF GOD.

 THE WORLD WANTS US TO CONFORM TO THEIR WAYS, AND USE THEIR TACTICS, BUT WE KNOW THAT AS GOD'S CHILDREN WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD ANY LONGER.

 WE WERE ONCE SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE, NOW WE ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST.

 WE ARE BEING CHANGED DAY BY DAY. 
OUR SPIRIT IS PERFECT, BUT OUR SOUL AND BODY STILL NEED CHANGING.

 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.

 Moses had to cover his face because of the glory of God fading from him. While he was on the mountain with the Lord, he had the glory of God all over his face.

 When we spend time in the Lord's presence we also have the glory of God on our face.

 The glory of God that is on us believers will never fade away. 
Because it is Jesus inside of us. It is His glory that reflects in us and through us.

 The beauty of walking with Jesus is that we no longer want to sin.

 Will we sin (miss the mark of perfection) yes, but we no longer want to. 

 When we sin it grieves our spirit.

 1 John 2: 1-2
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin.  
And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

 An advocate is like a lawyer, Jesus says Father, I have paid for this with My blood. Case dismissed!

 Remember beloved, Jesus has already paid for all our sins, past, present and future.

 If we choose to continue in sin, then there will be consequences. 

 Yes, we have forgiveness and restoration, however if we rebel against God's word, He will take us to the woodshed. 

 There will be disciple, chastisement, because God loves us too much to leave us to ourselves.

 Hebrews 12:6
For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.

 Beloved, let there be more of Jesus and less of you.
As we die to ourselves, we become more and more like Jesus.  We are changed from glory to glory.

 We start out as a worm, but later are transformed into a beautiful butterfly. Get the picture?

 When we are being transformed there is a lot of activity, and movement in our life, transformation is a work in progress.  
We go through trials and then see victory.  

 Each trial that we come through, we become a little more like Jesus. 
Growth has taken place in our heart and actions and especially in our thoughts.

 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.  
For our weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts its self against the knowledge of God, 
bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

 Praise God  that He loves us too much to leave us as He found us. 
We are being worked on daily by the Holy Spirit, our comforter, teacher and friend and counselor.

 God is patient with us, merciful and loving, as we should be with others.

 Just like Jesus!

 God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

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...

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, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
