 Transformation

I AM YOUR LAMP; I TURN YOUR DARKNESS INTO LIGHT. Transforming you is delightful to Me. Only I know the full measure of your capabilities, and I work ceaselessly to help you become all I created you to be. My brilliant Light—in which there is no darkness at all—enables you to see areas where you need to change. When My Spirit spotlights an area of sin, you face a choice: You can withdraw from Me into the darkness of denial, or you can come more fully into the radiance of My Presence. If you face your sin head-on, it diminishes in power. You gain strength to walk in My ways—on fresh paths illuminated by My Light. 

I help you deal with all your darkness—not only within you but also around you. Because you live in a broken world, you encounter darkness every day of your life. You inhabit a rebellious planet that screams obscene lies about who I am. This is why living close to Me—aware of My Presence—is so vital to your well-being. An excellent way to draw near Me is to change your thinking from a monologue to a dialogue: Make more and more of your thoughts a conversation with Me. When you encounter darkness in your world, talk with Me about it. I will help you see matters from My perspective, thus turning your darkness into Light. 

Remember that nothing is impossible with Me. In fact, with My help you can scale a wall! 

You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. 2 SAMUEL 22:29–30 

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1:5 

For nothing is impossible with God. LUKE 1:37

Giving God Permission          If you want a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, give God a blank check. Decide in your heart that you want whatever he wants for you, no matter what it is. Don’t put limits on him. Be willing to come out of your comfort zones and the grooves you’ve dug to ensure your safety, comfort, and security. Tell the Lord every morning that your life is his and that you give him permission to do with it whatever he wants. Then walk throughout your day with one ear turned toward the Spirit. Don’t leave the Spirit at home or in church. Be conscious of his presence; attempt to listen even amidst the noise and frantic pace of life. When you hear him, or sense his prompting or gentle nudge, act on it. Don’t hesitate, do what he wants you to do. If you do this consistently, the Spirit will become your intimate friend and he will make something beautiful out of your life.       Pope Joh...
