But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. 1 JOHN 2:27 (ESV)
The FULL Gospel includes us being transformed into the image of Christ Jesus, not JUST a ticket to Heaven (not that that isn’t miraculous!). Jesus died for so much more.
Salvation is the complete redemption and restoration of mankind.
Us being made completely into His image and likeness.
This is how the world sees Christ and His glory is spread across the earth.
NOW, not some future time in Heaven. This requires knowing who you are in Him and renewing your mind so you can be transformed into His image.
Are you abiding? Are you walking in His authority? His Holy Word tells us how. His Holy Spirit enables us to remain there… understanding God’s Word and what He tells us from beginning to end will enable you to mature in your faith. His Word is a tool of transformation and allows us to grow in the knowledge of Christ!
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” Gen 1:26

SPEAK THE WORD
RENEW YOUR MIND
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
In order to be transformed into His image, you must abide in Christ. In order to abide you must present yourself to God daily, habitually. The best part? God provides all that is needed through His Holy Spirit. You simply need to believe in Him and what He died to give you.
The POWER and PURPOSE of the WORD is to be an instrument of transformation…
TRANSFORMING PRAYER:
I thank You Father that I have been predestined to be transformed into the image of your son, Christ Jesus.
I thank You that I put off my old self, which belonged to my former manner of life.
I thank you, Father, that I am renewed in the spirit of my mind, and I put on the new self, created after Your likeness in true righteousness and holiness.
Thank You that I have rejected the lies my old man believed and am being taught Your Word by You. I have ONE teacher and it is You.
Thank You, Father, that You have put Your laws into my mind, and written them on my heart. You are my God and I am your child. You promise that we shall ALL know You, from the least to the greatest and You remember our sins no more.
Thank You, Lord, that You call me friend and have made known to me EVERYTHING that You heard from our Father. You teach me plainly about Father.
Thank You that I am Your child, taught by You, and my prosperity will be great so I may bless others abundantly. You have established me on a foundation of righteousness. I am far from oppression. I am not afraid as you promise terror will certainly not come near me.
Thank You, Father, that You began a good work in me and You will bring it to completion. I have received Your anointing and You teach me about everything as I abide in You. Thank You that you awaken me each morning and my ear listens as I am instructed. I am not rebellious, I do not turn back.
Thank You, Lord that I delight to do Your will because Your instruction lives within me. You open my mind to understand the Scriptures. I come to You Lord and You give me rest. I take Your yoke upon myself and learn from You. You give me rest for my soul as Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light.
I look forward with great eagerness to see the earth filled with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea.
I love You Father.”
