Changed people think and act like God III

Welcome, precious children of God to our column «Daily word for spiritual strength»! I pray, so that God´s mercy fills your life today.

For a long time already we´ve been reasoning about God´s philosophy of transformation. Examples taken from the Bible show to us that transformed people think and act God´s way. They treat other people the way God does. God uses our relationships to show us what is inside our hearts and what we need to change.

Talking about transformation we mean changes of our point view, changes in our hearts, in our characters and our circumstances. Any changes should take place within us first. I have to allow God to change myself and my character. Jesus said:

 

«There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.» (Mark 7:15).

 

followed by:

 

«If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!» (Mark 7:16).

 

Let God help us to have ears to hear what the Lord says to us! A transformed person knows how to treat those who feel high and also those who feel depressed. One of the signs you are transformed shows your right attitude towards other people. How do you treat other people? God will always surround you by people, since He wants you to have inner harmony and peace. If you lose your peace while looking at a person it proves you need changes. Things which come from man´s heart not from outside defile him. Take this word personally and God will change you and your attitude. You don´t have to remain a slave of your sorrow, fear, unforgiving, envy and bitterness. You can get free of all this stuff today. You are able to look in the eyes of people with love while having deep peace inside your heart.

I want you to treat all the relationships you have as a tool God is using to transform you. You probably keep on asking God to change you. Certain people God will sent on your way is the answer to your prayers. Hurry not to break any relationships with people, or you are in risk to miss the opportunities provided to you by God to transform you. Let´s pray together:

«Lord, thank You for this word. I thank You for my ability to hear and understand Your word. You said we are mislead without the knowledge of the Scripture and God´s power. Thank You, Jesus, that we will not be mislead any more, because now we know the Scripture and we have Your power. I accept this message about God´s philosophy of changes for myself personally. I believe all circumstances around me will change. I believe my relationships with my family, friends, my children and colleagues will change.

Father, Your word says man´s heart is tricky and completely defiled. Only You know what is inside my heart, I do not. Therefore, I am asking You, Lord, remove it all and cleanse my heart. I thank You, Lord, for helping me with this through my relationships I have or I have to have. Also, thank You, Lord, for Your mercy that leads me to repentance every day. Thank You, Jesus, for every circumstances You permit in my life in order to transform me into the likeness of Christ!

I lean on You, Lord, because changes can be achieved by the Holy Spirit alone, not by human power nor by armed forces. Help me to get transformed into Your likeness! Thank You, Lord, for letting me know Your truth and Your power that transforms me and my character! All glory and gratitude are Yours, my Lord!»

 

See you tomorrow!

God bless you abundantly!

    Accountability makes us strong and unites us to the other believers; it also kills the “I am a lone island” thinking. This type of thinking has caused many problems that the Body of Christ still suffers from.God does not want you to be an island that is separated and independent of the other brothers and sisters in Christ. We are not only responsible to being accountable ourselves; we also need to call others to accountability and help them with it.

  • Sin and lawlessness of people defile the earth and causes it to cast off the people living on it

    Righteousness exalts a person and his people.When a nation turns away from his evil ways and the violence of their hands, then the new times come; joy comes instead of joy and triumph comes instead of tragedy. An entire nation can fall under the judgment of God because of the sins of its people. Sodom and Gomorrah is a clear example of how sin brings a destruction and tragedy into the life of a whole nation.

  • Why do people choose to be irresponsible? II

    Being responsible is connected to the condition of person’s heart. If the heart is wicked and the mind is not renewed, then it would be futile to expect responsible behaviour. The servant who buried his talent did not think highly of his lord. He considered his lord to be a cruel man who reaps where he has not sown and gathers where he has not scattered seed. Because of these ponderings in his heart he did not have the motivation to do his best

  • We win and overcome in life by faith!

    There are different levels of problems and trials. Our faith is strengthened by going through trials and difficulties. By faith you can overcome all your obstacles! Why didn’t Jesus answer the woman’s prayer right away? Why did He answer the way He did?1.Jesus wanted her faith to grow.Why doesn’t Jesus answer our prayers right away? Why are there always obstacles on our ways in the search for an answer? Because God desires to build up our faith. That is why every time when we face difficulties that are bigger than us and surpass our abilities, we need to learn to thank God for allowing our faith to grow in these situations.

  • Allow you trouble to enlarge you instead of breaking you

    Trouble can either break you or make you. It all depends on your reaction. We will examine the example of David and allow him to teach us today how to react in difficult situation.“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
