I AM TRANSFORMED, AND CONSUMED BY HIS SPIRIT, AND WORD

My friends “What the disciples did not accomplish spiritually in 3-1/2 years with Christ. It happen through His Spirit in one day at Pentecost” “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” John 16:7

In His humanity Christ had planted the seed “All by itself the soil produces grain first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” Mark 4:28-29

As we allow the transforming power of God’s spirit to take control, it is when we are in His PRESENCE  that the Sanctification process begins to produce Disciples for Christ. And as soon as we are ripe, Christ Love and grace mobilizes His FAITHFUL because the harvest has come, we are NOW READY to SERVE.

For you have “…..put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the SPIRIT of your minds, and to put on the NEW SELF, created after the LIKENESS of God in true RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS.” Eph. 4:20-24

My friends have you allowed God’s Spirit to Start the renewal process in your life, if not, why do you wait. God is looking for faithful workers today. As a Child of God we have the ability of discernment, so there should be no doubt in our minds that we’re living in the prophetic days of “Daniel and the Revelations”

There are millions headed towards PERDITION who have no clue of the times and season we are living in. “So we’re faced with a challenge and a profound, multi-faceted responsibility: to acknowledge the significance of our times, to awaken others to this reality, to rightly discern true from false prophecy, and to know what to do about the things we rightly discern.”

My friends what a great Responsibility as God’s chosen generation the Good Shepherd has given us. In Luke 24:32 when the two Disciples of Christ on the road to Emmaus, realizing it was Christ they had spoken too. Said to one another

“DID NOT OUR HEART BURN WITHIN US WHILE HE TALKED WITH US ON THE ROAD, AND WHILE HE OPENED THE SCRIPTURES TO US?” That word Burn, meaning to be set, or CONSUMED on FIRE. “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.” 2 Cor. 3:18

This is the PASSION Christ asked of his Children, first to be TRANSFORMED and then CONSUMED with a BURNING PASSION and once this occurs everyone we talk to, or witness to, will also feel an exhilarating BURN from within their hearts, a Spiritual reaction that will move like an out of control wildfire, with the fire being the Spirit of the living God.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 But my friends God’s mandate requires a lot of STUDY and heartfelt PRAYERS and supplications as we digest the scriptures daily.

Jeremiah tells us in Jeremiah 15:16 “When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY”. Also Romans 10:17 tells us so then “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

So this TRANSFORMATION and all CONSUMING fire of the Holy Spirit all starts with the Word of God. My friends we have a lot of work to do, so PLEASE don’t allow the things of this world to hinder you any longer. Where I need you to focus your attention, are the following words that I end my devotion with today.

“When you reach that FINAL SUNSET and you look into HIS EYES, will the tears you shed be tears of joy or would they be your last goodbye.” My friends it will be a tragedy to get to that day that you waited for all your life, and realize that all you had accumulated and accomplished on this earth “COULD NOT COMPARE TO ETERNAL LIFE” THAT YOU HAVE NOW LOST.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
