Transformers - July 26, 2015









Romans 12:2     Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Ephesians 4:23     to be made new in the attitude of your minds;

Ephesians 4:24     and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Colossians 3:10     and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Titus 3:5     he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

1 Peter 1:14     As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.



Family pain is often the deepest pain because it was inflicted so early, and because it involves people who should have been trustworthy. You were too young to process the mistreatment. You didn’t know how to defend yourself. Besides the perpetrators of your pain were so large. Your dad, mom, uncle, big brother—they towered over you, usually in size, always in rank. When they judged you falsely, you believed them. All this time you’ve been operating on faulty data. “You’re stupid. . .slow. . .dumb, like your daddy.

Decades later these voices of defeat still echo in your subconscious. But they don’t have to! Romans 12:2 says, “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” And 1st Corinthians 13:11 adds, “Let Him replace childish thinking with mature truth!” You are not who they said you were. You are God’s child!
