Rom 12:2 NASB 20
And do not be conformed to this [fn]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [fn]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [fn]acceptable and perfect.\
Our thought patterns are shaped by our past. Which past are you identifying with? Your old man history or your new man history? Everything we need pertaining to life and godliness comes through our knowledge of him who called us (2 Pet 1:13). If you want to see breakthrough in your life, look to Jesus, look to the cross, and change the way you think. PEACE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCHEMA AND MORPHE
it is passive you cant change your mind. This is not a self improvement course. You can change your schema but only He can rebuld you from the inside out. He did as He gave His spirit to renew your inner man.
Some people are living for their outer appearance. Some people like me live to let God change how they appear to Him. The first are never happy, because you cannot please everyone all the time but you are a slave for trying, It is the Sisphys torture of always spinning your wheels but always end up on the bottom> OR we can be happy and blessed because God our Father was totally pleased since His Son loved us to death. And His love transforms us by grace. Conforming to the crowds in never ending work. But we are growing more beautiful every day because makes us that way. PEACE WITH GOD
When God is well pleased with you for no other reason other than it is God our Father that created you. Then you are transformed into the most beautiful creature of all creation.
Notice how Jesus showed it to us by example when He was basking in the Love from above:
Mat 17:5
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!”
Mat 17:2
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Transfigure is the same as transformed in the Romans 12:2 verse. He was passive and God filled Him with His beautiful love.
We too are His sons and His creations
Bask in love and spend time in His presence! There is where there Is JOY!
Psa 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
This transforming love was poured out on Jesus and us when the gift of the holy spirit descended into us. When Jesus was baptised God said the same words :This is my beloved Son”
We have the presence of God in Christ in our inner man. We can bask in the reality of His presense closer that oru hear as we pray and sing to Him by the spirit of sonship He gave us.
That same spirit is GODs gift to us. We are now sons of God and as HE is in this world. So how do we shine in the world of chaos?
2Co 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.
2Co 3:18
And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Our Lord is the spirit that now lives in us! AND there He is present! And where He is, is liberty from death and all the lies of the world , the systems of the enemy of our soul.
2Co 3:18
And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
So don’t cover your face from Love, unconditional love. It not the kind of love you have too impress people to buy from their empty coffers. Now this is Love at the source. God is Love. Allow and rest in it. Now we have peace with God! This is free love from above. Transformational love in His presence. We are shining like He shined on the mountain of transformation. We are light because He says “these are my beloved children! Listen to them!
