God’s will toward each of His children is far better than most of us have ever imagined. Our Creator desires for us to live rich, fulfilled, purposeful and meaningful lives. Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” If you are a Believer, you must believe that God‘s plan for your life is perfect because that’s what his Word says. Our God is a good Father who created a custom designed life for us that matches beautifully with the interests and desires that He has placed within our hearts. God desires to transform each of us from tired, angry, fearful, and sorrowful people into energetic, joyful, peaceful and faith-filled people. Imagine your life full of restful purpose and meaning, pulsating with joyous energy and a clear mind. The Lord has shown us what we can expect if we simply believe His outrageous words. He has provided us a written plan and has promised us good results if we believe and act on it.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” This is the key and the method needed to transform our lives into what God designed. We are transformed by the renewing of our mind. God‘s design requires our involvement in order to see personal transformation. When we spend time meditating in God’s Word our mind is renewed and we prove to ourselves that God’s plan for us is good, perfect and acceptable. If you allow the supernatural Word of God to change you on the inside then you will see your outside life greatly improve also. Proverbs 23:7a (KJV) “For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he.” You become what you focus on in your heart! If we fail to do the ONE THING that is required then transformation will not happen.
God’s Word is actually alive and when applied it will transform your entire life. The supernatural Word touches the natural soul and the natural soul is changed. ( Hebrews 4:12). The way to transformation is to keep looking at the Word (Jesus). 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV) while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen [are] temporary, but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. You need to realize that it is in the “eternal” things where the power of change resides.
If you think about it you experience your life in your soul. The soul is where we experience fear, anger, sadness, and disgust. It is via the soul that you reason, think, judge, remember, desire, and imagine. It’s also where we experience anticipation, wonderment, surprise and happiness. It’s no wonder that the condition of our soul affects the elevation of our life. The Word in you will greatly reduce and eliminate your fears, anxieties, worries, loneliness, tiredness, shortsightedness, and shame. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV) “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.” The more we see Jesus in the Word, the more we are transformed into His image. 1 John 3:2 (NIV) “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” One day we will see Him face to face and we will immediately and completely be transformed into His image! In the meantime, your earthly life is changed over time as you allow the Word to do it’s work.
