1 Corinthians 2:10
King James Version
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God.
The word "transformation" had been following me around the past couple of days, through sermons I've been listening to.
I knew it was time to write about it today.
What is radical SPIRITUAL transformation, but a COMPLETE 180-degree turn from who we once had been.
A spiritual metamorphosis.
And that means turning to GOD alone.
Isaiah 45:5
King James Version
5 I am the Lord,
and there is none else,
there is no God beside me:
I girded thee,
though thou hast not known me:
EVERYTHING will change.
EVERYTHING will be transformed.
Your priorities, and focus, will surely change.
EVERYTHING will become clear.
EVERYTHING will go GOD's WAY.
As it ought to be.
Only through TOTAL surrender can GOD show up in your life, have His SON save your soul, and send His HOLY SPIRIT to teach you.
Surrender only comes when your efforts have gone kaput.
A humbled man knows when to quit.
If your heart is as a child, SCRIPTURE would be a delight to read, for the many adventures GOD will tell you about.
How can anyone not get excited about the BIBLE?
I've read enough books to know that is the ULTIMATE BOOK to learn from.
SCRIPTURE will really open your heart, for it opened GOD's HEART.
And here's what I learned, for these last days:
The LORD JESUS' command:
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
The LORD's warning:
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
IMMINENCE of the RAPTURE:
Matthew 24:40
King James Version
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
HOW the RAPTURE will be:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
WHO decides WHEN:
Mark 13:32
King James Version
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son,
but the Father.
WHO to FOCUS on:
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
WHAT will REMAIN:
Isaiah 40:8
King James Version
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
If you are tired of your old life, needing a radical change, a complete turnaround, wanting to TRUST something that LOVES you, SCRIPTURE is it.
Precisely why SPIRIT told me to use this as flagship of our main blog:
"That all men may know the BIBLE,
and live by it."
I've been listening to SPIRIT over 30 months now.
STRAIGHT.
It's how I get the blogs, posts, and books done.
It's how I've become truly, radically, and spiritually transformed.
Not by my self, but by the WORD of GOD.
There is nothing more magnificent in this world, than being BORN AGAIN, and living by the WORD of GOD.
