Our transformation begins on the inside and works its way to the outside!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

22 … to present you Holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight–

23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

When you were saved, your spirit became perfect.  Now the issue is our souls and bodies.  They are meant to be Holy and blameless.

Paul also wrote in Romans chapter 12:

1  I beseech (encourage, exhort, summon, instruct) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

It is reasonable for us to expect our bodies to become Holy and acceptable to GOD before we get to Heaven.  How are we to accomplish it?  Paul tells us:

2 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.

When our minds are transformed, we are able to discern what is good, acceptable, and perfect in FATHER’S EYES.  The Holy Spirit will lead and guide us into all Truth.

Jesus affirmed this when He spoke in John chapter 16:

13   However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

When you walk in Truth, the past blemishes dissolve away.

Paul urges us by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:

17  Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

We have a pattern to follow as we consecrate ourselves to become blameless in His Sight.

18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame-who set their mind on earthly things.

Notice where the enemies focus.  They set their minds on earthly things which is by nature temporal. 

20 For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious Body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

Jesus was transfigured.  Moses was transfigured.  Do we dare to consider that we can be transfigured as well?  Can the internal transformation of the mind ultimately affect the body as well?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Thessalonians chapter 5:

23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

It is clear that Paul expected the body to be included.

Come and look on my face. Gaze into my glory until you are transformed. I will give you new eyes, my eyes, which give you true understanding. When you look through my eyes, the world around you changes. When you see the sick, I see them healed. When you see the lost, I see them asleep and ready to be awakened. When you see darkness approaching, I see the enemy defeated. And when I look at you, I see you completed—whole, beautiful, lacking nothing.

I call you into true vision, so that you might see. Partake of my healing eye salve, and your vision will be clear. I will heal your eyes and cause you to clearly evaluate and discern the day in which you are living. Many see doom; I see glory. Many see devastation; I see my kingdom increasing and having no end. I see the end from the beginning. When you come before my throne, you will see what my prophet Isaiah saw—the whole earth full of my glory!

Are you pursuing the easy or the extraordinary?

Jesus spoke to Ananias in Acts chapter 9:

11  So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My Name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer (experience) for My Name’s sake.”

Suffering not only includes the perils but also the deliverance.  Jesus suffered in the wilderness, yet He was endued with power afterward.  Many doors were opened to Paul so that he could fulfill his calling to bear the Name of Jesus before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

Pursuing the extraordinary will require consecration.  What is consecration?  It is:

to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be Holy, be sanctified, be separate.

Just as Aaron and his sons were anointed and consecrated, we too are to be consecrated as priests unto FATHER.  Walking in Holiness allows us to receive intimate Words from FATHER which are reserved for those who are willing to come into full maturity IN CHRIST.

Let us remove and strip away the excesses and trivialities of the world’s trappings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

9  For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding;

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

We are called to be fruitful in every good work which is pleasing to HIM: spirit, soul, and body!

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

We are strengthened by His glorious power, not man’s.

12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

There is a qualification requirement which means that we can be disqualified as well.  It is vital that we understand that we can be disqualified!

13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love,

14 IN WHOM we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins.

The power of darkness should have no impact on us as we walk in the light.

18 And He is the Head of the Body, the church, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the Blood of His cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

22 in the Body of His Flesh through death, to present you Holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight–

23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

We are required to be longsuffering (i.e. patient, enduring) as we move into full maturity in Christ.  As we do, all blemishes are removed, and we become blameless in His sight.  We are transformed by the renewing or our mind. 

Will we suffer persecution?  Yes, the world will attempt to divert us from our individual callings.  The persecutions of the true church have been on the rise by those who have reprobate minds.  It is their attempt to justify their sinfulness.  Light judges darkness and exposes the Truth which can no longer be hidden.

There is a cost to walking in the supernatural, but it is well worth it!

How committed are you?

My one goal in 2024 is to hear FATHER more clearly and fully submit to whatever HE instructs me to do in all areas.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 3:

5  Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

In other Words: Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on HIM to guide you, and HE will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with HIM in whatever you do, and HE will lead you wherever you go.

Who else are you willing to totally trust in all areas of your life?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Thessalonians chapter 5:

23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 He who calls you is faithful, Who also will do it.

I keep this passage on my screen panel and is the first Scripture I see in the morning.

To whom will you listen on a daily basis?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

8  But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Words are vital! 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word (rēma) of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

The word rēma means: that which is or has been uttered by the living voice, thing spoken, word; any sound produced by the voice and having definite meaning;

speech, discourse; what one has said; a series of words joined together into a sentence (a declaration of one’s mind made in words); an utterance; a saying of any sort as a message, a narrative concerning some occurrence.

FATHER spoke the world into existence.

11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word (rēma) of God.

18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”

20 But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.”

Israel rejected “hearing” the rēma of GOD for their hearts were dull of hearing.  Why?  They wanted to do what was in their own hearts rather than submit to what was in FATHER’S Heart for them.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Ezekiel chapter 12:

1  The word of YAHWEH was revealed to me:

2 “Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes, but they will not see; they have ears, but they will not hear because they are bent on rebellion.  TPT

They were contentious, rebellious, contrary, and disobedient toward GOD.  They chose to go their own way.

The key to becoming a fully mature Son or Daughter is to improve our ability to hear the Word (rēma) FATHER is speaking to us individually… and obey it.  How do we increase the clarity of our ears to hear?  The more we obey HIS Word, the greater the clarity.

How do we know if we are hearing HIM?  The rēma Word will be confirmed by the Scriptures, or logos Word.  I found that I must be quiet and tune out the world in order to improve my ability to listen to HIM.  If you bombard your ears with worldly sounds, you will become dull of hearing.  Have you ever noticed that pop music concerts are extremely loud?  They want to appeal to your soul.

We have a choice to whose voice we listen to on a daily basis.

What did Enoch, Noah, and Abraham have in common?

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 34:

1  I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His Name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked (nāḇaṭ) to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.

8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.

10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

The Hebrew word nāḇaṭ means: to look, regard, to focus on, to dwell on intently, show regard to, pay attention to, consider.

If we are distracted by the world, we cannot seriously nāḇaṭ THE LORD!  Enoch did not have the Old Testament or the New Testament to read the logos Word.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 5:

21  Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.

22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.

23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

The name “Enoch” means “dedicated”.  The following provides a timeline:

Notice that Enoch lived during Adam’s lifetime.  Enoch would have heard stories of Adam walking with GOD during the cool of the day.  Enoch heard the rhema Word and dedicated himself to do the same.  He was sixty-five when he began to walk with GOD.

In Genesis chapter 6:

8  But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD.

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

Though Noah was born after Enoch’s departure, his grandfather would have told him the stories of his great grandfather, Enoch.  Noah chose to walk uprightly as well.  Noah was a Godly man of integrity, without fault in his generation, and he lived close to God.

Abraham was born two years after the death of Noah.  However, Shem would have told Abraham about Noah’s life as well as the details of the flood.

In Genesis chapter 12:

1  Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Abraham had committed himself to THE LORD as well.  In response, THE LORD spoke to him and directed his life in a similar way to that of Enoch and Noah.

The commonality of all three was a relationship with Our Heavenly Father.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 4:

1  What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

As you and I look up and focus on our relationship with FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, our relationship will grow.  Focusing solely on the Covenant without the relationship, we will miss the point… and the blessing.

It is all about relationship!
