God's Ability To Transform

Today God will continue rebuilding you, you will be faster, stronger... it's not bionics, it's the blessings of the Most High. Don't underestimate God's ability to transform.

You may be saying, "I can change."  YOU CAN"T.  Every beginning of the year, we make a list of resolutions, things that we will change about ourselves, and by this time in March, that list will be in the dumpster.  Why?  Because you can't change on your own; you need God's power. You need a Savior, someone who can make the changes you can't make yourself.

Have you figured out yet that a lot of time you are your own worst enemy?  It's your own reactions, your own fears, your own inadequacies that cause you to act in foolish ways. I know I'm a victim of my own self at times.

I need to be saved from myself because there are things I don't like about me... Things I wish I had done differently, things I'd like to change,  But I can't change them, not on my own power. I NEED AN OUTSIDE SOURCE

Take a look at the apostle Paul assessment of self in Romans 7:24  -  I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? 

Does this sound like one of your questions?

Now comes the answer... 
I Thank God, through Jesus Christ it is can do. Romans 7:25

What are you looking to do? If you have become frustrated, it means that you are looking in all the wrong places.  You're looking fro that one thing that's going to give you fulfillment and meaning and peace in life.
Let me guess: A wife, a husband, a new job, a face lift, a tummy tuck, new clothes, new car, the list is endless.

Someone right now thinks that "If I could get married,' or have a baby," things would be great.

You're looking in the wrong places.  The answer is not in a place. It's not in a program or a pill,  The answer is a person: Jesus Christ.  You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life is never going to make sense.  It is God who has the power to transform your life.

And that, my friend, is the only reason that I could ever say, "my life will never be the same!"
