TRANSFORMATION  1-24-2021 VIDEO STILL GOD 2

We are being changed from one degree of glory to another. Transformation means to change into something new. Changing from a Caterpillar to a butterfly making a thorough change or dramatic change in form, appearance and character. It is a change from the inside out. For us it means to change our thoughts, and our thinking to be agreeable with God. Sometimes change and transformation can feel scary. But God can be trusted.  We are changed from the old man into the new.  But it feels hard to have a desire for transformation because the old ways seems so much more comfortable.

ISA 55:8-11 For my thoughts about mercyare not like your thoughts, and my ways are different from yours.
⁹ As high as the heavens are above the earth, so my ways and my thoughts are higher than yours.¹⁰ As the snow and rain that fall from heavendo not return until they have accomplished their purpose, soaking the earth and causing it to sprout with new life, providing seed to sow and bread to eat.
¹¹ So also will be the wordthat I speak; it does not return to me unfulfilled. My word performs my purpose and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish. TPT

39 "Go home and tell everything God did in you." So he went back and preached all over town everything Jesus had done in him.
