Presentation transcript:

“And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].”  Romans 12:2 AMP

Transformation is a requirement for Elevation! A caterpillar will never reach the sky and until it transforms into a butterfly. In its current state, it is incapable of experiencing the glory for which it was born.

“It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah. Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:4-7 MSG

FABULOUS things are coming your way! Be prepared to receive them by continuing to transform daily into everything God reveals.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied. (Matthew 5:6 WNT)

Five (5) Encouragements of Transformation for 2016: Be HUNGRY for God and His way of thinking & doing. Be HUNGRY for the health and success of your family. Be HUNGRY to rise in your leadership as a Christian. Be HUNGRY to be an extraordinary giver. Be HUNGRY to be the healthiest you’ve ever been.

“So the LORD gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the LORD had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true.” Joshua 21:43-45 NLT

Five (5) Expectations of 2016 No Word from God spoken to you or your family is going unfulfilled. No shortage, lack, or insufficiency prevailing in your life. No ailment, sickness, or disease diminishing your health. A constant wind of life blowing through your relationships. A constant cycle of ideas, opportunities, & favor coming into your life.

Every morning God has a fresh perspective of us.   “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!””  Lamentations 3:22-24 NLT

Next Steps Write down 3 good things that happened to you this year, share them with friends and thank God together for them. If you can’t think of 3, then write down what you need to do differently with God so that you can enjoy more of His goodness. Discuss it with a friend. Join today’s Growth Track Step TWO & learn how to CONNECT with Impact & our Family.
