The Progression of Transformation

by

People don’t wake up one morning and decide to ruin their lives. Our messes are usually the result of some lie, abuse or trauma that’s plagued us our whole lives. The only way to experience a different life is to become a different person. Living from our identity in Christ is the only way to experience that new life.

But how do we become another person in Christ. We know we’re saved by grace through faith but how do we experience transformation? The simple answer is that we’re transformed by the renewing of our minds. But how does that transform us?

The progression of transformation is to believe on Jesus, receive a new heart, become indwelt by his spirit, change the way we think to agree with God’s truth and finally yield our hearts to his influence so our will and desires will be changed. When our will and desires reflect God’s intents and purposes for us, we will reflect his glory in this earth and he will be glorified.

Yielding to his influence is the labor we must do to enter the rest found in transformation. We must learn to create emotional margin within our souls so we have the presence of mind and patience to choose God’s options in our lives. We have to consciously choose to expose our inner man or our hearts to his grace, his influence and desire a change. Own where you are but be willing to change.

God can’t just show up and change you apart from you making decisions as you are inspired by his influence and begin to live a new way. You have the responsibility to respond and take corresponding action.

This does not invalidate the completeness of your salvation which comes by grace through faith. Yielding to transformation is not a dead work of the flesh or self-effort. Taking responsibility to experience continual transformation is simply a decision to outwardly reflect what’s inwardly true of your new creation identity.

You can fill your mind and heart with the Gospel. The Gospel is the power of salvation. This will create the environment to allow God’s power to work in and through you. As your inner man experiences transformation you will see the world through God’s perspectives and begin to live a new way!

This series will facilitate this process and bring more understanding to the process of transformation.

The GOOD NEWS about Jesus will change you!

The good news (gospel) about Jesus means good news for you. Believing the Gospel doesn’t just mean you’re on your way to Heaven, it means you’re qualified for a new life now. Experiencing lasting transformation and experiencing ongoing salvation is easier than you think. Living in this new life is not easy at times but it’s closer than you think.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes… Romans 1:16a

True transformation comes by a revelation of Christ’s life in you. I will show you how to prepare your heart for revelation. The secret is, you already have this new life inside and it will take over your old life as you discover your true identity. There is a key to unlocking transformation that lies within the Gospel itself.

You can do this, you don’t have to struggle and barely get by the rest of your life. I want to help you learn how to rebuild your identity based on Christ has done for you and in you and live a new life.

This week’s Forward Moment: The Spirit of the Living God is Active

 

 This week’s FREE message

If you’re going to take God seriously you have to take him at his word. You have to humble yourself and accept his truth as your foundation for your worldview. If we find in his Word information that is personal to you, you must allow it to redefine who YOU are in light of this truth.

You behave according to who you believe you are. I want to help you understand and naturally live from the new creation reality that you are righteous because you’re in Jesus. The best way to do that is continually remind you of your inheritance as a child of God promised in his new covenant that is upheld by the blood of Jesus.

Righteousness – as he ought to be
Righteous – innocent, faultless, guiltless, approved of God or acceptable to God

Is it a reality to you that Jesus became your sin so you could become his righteousness? This is important because if you’re serious about transformation and allowing his grace to teach you godliness then you must change who you think you are to the righteousness of God in Jesus to have any hope of outwardly living that way.

You live out of your identity. The believer under grace is delivered from the law of sin and death and the law was nailed to the cross of Christ, never to be held against you…from there we are to allow that finished work in our spirit become effectual in every aspect of our being for the sole purpose of glorifying God.

I gave you an exercise last week but I’d like for you to repeat it.

Say out loud: I am righteous

Go ahead, now is as good a time as any…

When you say it, pay attention to your inner thoughts and feelings. Do you start thinking about what you did last week? Do you start thinking of a doctrine you’ve learned along the way? Or do you take a deep breath of relief and become filled with thankfulness for what Jesus did for you?

You can take any truth or promise and apply the same exercise. Try it with provision, “God is my provider,” and persuade your heart of God’s will to be your provider.

All things are possible to those who believe!

1. Why Covenants?
2. Why the New Covenant?
3. Eternal Life
4. Sons of Glory
5. God is Committed to Us

Hebrews 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

The Law was never meant for righteousness so God offered a New Covenant in Jesus Christ through which we can receive eternal life. But have you ever wondered why God created covenants at all? You will be grounded in God’s purpose for making promises and you will have unshakable confidence in your salvation.
