Living Through The Change

Life is about change and challenges. Everything living must change. This refers not simply to the physical realm in which there is knowledge of the senses, but also the spiritual which is often invisible,tangible, and even at times incomprehensible. The death of an individual or a dream is often caused by the ignorance of change or the lack of knowledge and skill to live through it.

It's All In The Mind - Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

* The operative word is transformation or change.

* Change must begin in the mind with thought, direction, command, purpose, and performance.

* Change begins with a change of mind.

The human body is designed to go through changes and keep on living.You are not going to die because something in your life has changed.Why panic when you can pray? The Key to change is adjustment and adaptation. Change your thinking and your company, but not necessarily your destination in life.Receive new vision and new dreams and live in a new day.

Making the change to living a person must engage your intellect, emotions, and your volition.

Position for Purpose:

Where you are in life, emotionally, geographically, physically, psychologically, or spiritually, has not escaped the purview of God or the permission of God. Your present position is designed to determine God's future promise in you from His Word. Know this, you are in position for the reality of God's blessing in your life. He promised; He said; He will. Who you are is who God thinks you are. Note Jeremiah 29:11. God will never change His mind on your future. God's thoughts of you are eternal.

* Define and Declare your Destination. 

* Align your Desires with God's Will.

* Make a conscious decision to change and live in it.

Behavior is a result of the thoughts of the mind. Your thought creates your being; emotional being, social being, spiritual being, physical being, and even your future state of being. The result of your being is based upon what you perceive in what you see. Faith is found in your perception of your tomorrow, not your reality of the circumstances of your today.



 

 

Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:10-13
