next, renew your mind...
…present your bodies, holy and acceptable…Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Rom 12:1-2
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. Are you abiding? Do you know how to abide? His Holy Word tells us how. It begins with being made new by the renewal of your mind…

Abiding in christ is how this happens John 15
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. 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:
“We thank You Father that we have been predestined to be transformed into the image of your son, Christ Jesus.
We thank You that we have been rescued from the domain of darkness and transferred into Your kingdom of light.
We are a new creation, we put off the old sinful nature and put on the new!
We thank you Father that we are being renewed in the spirit of our minds. We put on the new self, according to your image in righteousness and purity of truth.
We thank you Father that we see Your glory as in a mirror. We are being transformed into Your image from glory to glory.
We thank You for Your Holy Word, which is able to make us wise through Christ Jesus.
We thank You for Your Holy Word that is breathed by You and profitable for teaching us, for convicting us, for setting us right, the way we were meant to be from the beginning.
We thank You for Your instruction in righteousness, for every good work having been completed, made perfect.
We thank You Father for Your Holy Word that works effectively in us.
We thank You that you have put Your Spirit within us and cause us to desire to do and to do your good and pleasing will. It is Your power in us that enables us to present our bodies, holy and acceptable.
We do not conform to the pattern of this world, but we are transformed by the renewing of our mind.
We look forward to seeing the earth filled with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea.
We love You Father.”

This is such a helpful reminder to put away my fear and persist in my efforts to abide in Christ. Sometimes I think we make that too complicate in our heads.
Yes, Mary, I agree! We often can see this as unattainable but it is what God designed for us to do from the very beginning AND He is who makes it possible. Thank You, Lord!
