âWE NEED TO TALKâ
When your spouse, your kids, your boss, or God invites you for a conversation, how does it make you feel? Do you immediately start to replay everything you have said or done? Or would you be able to meet them confidently?
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. (Romans 12:2 NKJV).
God's Desire for You
Godâs desire is for your mind to be transformed so that you can thrive in your relationship with Him and others. This requires that you
Identify the real source of your struggles
Receive Godâs healing
Step into lasting transformation and spiritual freedom
Power of the Holy Spirit
You have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and are now guided by the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit transform you into a ânewâ person, as the Apostle Paul said: âTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!â (2 Corinthians 5:17, NIV).
Before you were saved and believed in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your mind, will, and emotions of your soul and spirit were connected. They heard, believed, thought, and felt the same things. However, after you were saved, they became separated, and the mind, will, and emotions of the spirit shifted to focus on God, marking the start of your transformation journey. This is a continuous, daily process that flows from a lasting relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Transformation Ministry
Transformation ministry helps you navigate life's storms and challenges by applying Godâs Word in the Bible and by developing a relationship with the Holy Spirit. This ministry breaks down barriers to your relationship with God and others. What obstacles or hindrances trigger the fear, anger, or insecurity that cause your responses of apprehension or anxiety when engaging with your boss, spouse, kids, God, or others? If you can identify and remove these barriers, you can transform from a soul-based life to a God-based life. You will see your relationships with God and others as strong and honest, built on mutual love, trust, and respect, enabling you to eliminate responses of fear, apprehension, anxiety, depression, and similar reactions.
Transformation Journey
During this journey, you learn to capture your thoughts and align your soul's mind, will, and emotions with those of the Holy Spirit. This process transforms a mind of knowledge into one of wisdom, a will of self-focus into one of others' focus, repentance, and trust, and emotions of fear and bitterness into those of love. Through the seven truths in the book Transformation Truths, you will be able to recognize obstacles from the past, present, and future that hinder this transformation. This is not a single bridge or path; it is a lifelong journey. Just like the disciples, you have your own weaknesses. You will not reach perfection in this life, but a perfect God perfectly loves you. He knows your human frailty and walks with you to help you follow His way. All your sinsâpast, present, and futureâare forgiven.
Through this transformation, Jan and I pray that your relationships with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are strengthened as you walk in repentance and trust. Additionally, we pray that your relationship with yourself and others is also strengthened as the promised blessings of our Holy Father are poured out upon you.
This is Not a Quick Fix
This is not a quick fix, but a Spirit-led journey into wholeness. And never forget you are not alone; Jesus has not abandoned you as an orphan. You have âwith you forever, the Spirit of truthâ who âdwells with you and will be in youâ as your Helper.
âIf you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.â (John 14:15-18, NKJV)
[Insert your name], beloved child of God, may the power and truth of the Holy Spirit guide me on my journey of transformation to strengthen and deepen my relationships with God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and all of Godâs creation. AMEN.
