Transformer
MEMORISE: But we all, with open face beholding
as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory
to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18
READ: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV)
9 Know ye not that
the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 30:1-33, Proverbs
31:1-31
Open Heaven 30 September 2021 MESSAGE:
In the Bible reading of today we
see terrible things that man does on the earth. However, being born of water
and of the Spirit brings about a change, that is, divine transformation John 3:3. John the Beloved said
something deeper concerning this spiritual
new birth:
“This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not
by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth
witness, because the Spirit is truth.” 1 John 5:6

The mystery of the new birth
cannot be understood except through the Spirit
of God. In the same epistle of John we read:
“He that committeth sin is of the
devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of
God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is
born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot
sin, because he is born of God.” 1 John 3:89
Open Heaven 30 September 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
There are two main steps by which we can experience
this divine transformation: genuine repentance when a person voluntarily
submits his or her will to the Lord, and the power in the blood of Jesus Christ
– being sanctified by the power in the blood of the new covenant that is far
superior to the blood of animals.
“For it is not possible that the
blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.” Hebrews 10:4
Therefore, for divine transformation, Jesus Christ is the answer. Every
born-again child of God must pass through the process of change and become
transformed, irrespective of how morally upright such a person may have been
before salvation. That heart that has hitherto been trained to view things in
the way of the world must be renewed and tutored to henceforth view things
spiritually, in line with the will of God. Romans
12:2 says And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.
