Hello ,
Â
As you walk by faith and not by sight, you MUST understand how to be
conformed to Heaven and not to the world's way. How do you do that?
Â
In Romans 12:2 it says, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you can prove the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God."
Â
For you to be conformed to Heaven, that means you CANNOT be conformed to the world at the same time.Â
Â
What does the word "conform" mean?
Â
It means to fashion yourself to another's pattern. In other words, you copy and are just like the one you CHOOSE to conform to. Did you know you GET TO choose what you conform to?
Â
God tells you NOT to be conformed to the world, true? Then
what does He want you to be conformed to? Heaven of course. How does that look?
Â
It begins with repenting of being conformed to the world's way of thinking, talking, believing, and acting. Do you want to be known as one who lived your life patterned after the world or Heaven?
Â
Repenting means to change your mind. Why not change your mind about how you live from now on? When you ask God to reveal to you HOW you have been conformed to the world, HE will show AND He will help you be unconformed. Is that what you want?
Â
You also must believe this is possible for you, otherwise God would not have told you to not to be conformed to the world. The good news, He reveals to you in the Scripture what you can do.
Â
After you have repented from conforming to the world's way, then it is time to renew
your mind.Â
Â
A few years ago, the Lord told me to not have MIXTURE. I asked Him what He meant by that.Â
Â
He said, "I don't want you to have a
mixture of Heaven and the world's way."
Â
Yes, you live in the world, but you are not of this world. Since you are a Citizen of Heaven, why not talk like they talk in Heaven? Here is a NEWS FLASH for you about Heaven:
Â
They don't talk the same way in Heaven as they do in the world.
Â
They don't gossip, complain, gripe, curse, or speak evil of others. That is not their nature. Remember, when you ask God to reveal to you HOW you have been living the world's way, then
repent and turn to Heaven's way of living.
Â
You will NOT be conformed to Heaven without His Truth.Â
Â
This past week, God has been showing me the
contrast between Heaven's way of living and the world's way of living. I love when He does that because it becomes so obvious to me what the LIES are that I have been believing about living in the world.
Â
He led me to look up the definition of POPULAR. Before I share it with you, do you WANT to be popular?
Â
Popular: Relating to and representing most people.
Â
Do you want to be known as one who is popular in the world?Â
Â
One of the tricks of the devil is for you to desire to be popular. You were not created to blend in with the world. You were created to stand out for Christ as an Ambassador of Christ and of Heaven.
Â
When you start
to renew your mind that you are ALREADY seated together in Christ in the heavenlies, it will change the way you think, talk, expect, and act.Â
Â
Pray this prayer out loud so you can HEAR what you are saying to the Lord.
Â
"Lord God, thank You that I am seated together with Christ in the Heavenlies. Help me to repent of being conformed to the world's way of living.Â
Â
"Renew my mind so I can live a life conformed to Heaven instead of the world. Reveal to me with
Your Truth the lies and deceptions of living the world's way.
Â
"Lord God, I believe You heard my prayer and I know it is Your will to answer it with Your YES, in Jesus' name. Amen!"
Â
Today can be a
life-changing and life-transforming day for you as long as you choose to repent of being conformed to this world and are now committed to being conformed to Heaven.
Â
This month has been a life-changing and life-transforming month for me. The Lord promised me that this month is not setting me up for 2023, but for the rest of my
life.
Â
Why has this month been so incredible?
It's because of what I shared with you today about NOT being conformed to the world and CHOOSING to be conformed to Heaven.Â
Â
Will you join me? If so, CLICK REPLY.
Â
Finally, we are thankful for all who have been interceding, supporting us financially, and sending words of encouragement as we have relocated to Austin, Texas. If you only knew what a difference you
are making.Â
Â
Have a blessed week being conformed to HEAVEN.
