The Live Transformed Podcast

The master is the one who has mastered the basics. The foundations of our faith include “seeking first” the kingdom of God and his righteousness, knowing that all “the things” shall be added to you. You can’t experience resurrection life if you’re trying to be that “old person”. When you rely on your own strength, you sabotage God’s power. Ceasing from labors is the first step into true rest.

As we are wiling to let go of what’s working now, we make room for new solutions. A mind that creates the problem can’t fix the problem. We were never meant to endure unhappiness, and therefore don’t have the capacity to manage it. We spend our lives trying, so discontentment is the forerunner to transformation, resulting in true freedom.

Staying in peace, you always have the download of Holy Spirit understanding. The joy of the lord is not exclusively about your circumstances, but rather what you’re experiencing in your heart. We can always expect a great outcome. I am sensitive to those around me, and I know how to show love to them, but am never worried or have a desire to fix them. The only “next step” you need, is the one for today.

Patience and endurance are developed through the tests of faith. Peace gives us access (by faith) to grace which leads to power. The test of faith is simply to stand without wavering and decide to endure with patience. When our patience is developed, we don’t get crushed when challenges arise. Every time we give up before the promised outcome it diminishes our patience. Every time we win a battle and see it though it increases faith and patience.

God instructs the Israelites to “remember” the times they were rescued and established. We have massive amounts of authority when we “think on these things”. The thoughts of the mind, what we are focusing on emerge from the beliefs about yourself and who you are in each circumstance. The only reason we don’t reach our promised land is because of our unbelief. Your belief is always more powerful than your thoughts, and we have the power to create redeemed memories!

When we meditate, we are telling our brain how to think, thus changing the neural pathways. Using authority, we place significance on what we want to remember, and create links and pathways. Meditation is simply pondering until it becomes emotional and real, and psychological change happens. Recover the value for God that you have in your heart, and you will begin to reshape your mind.

Step into the realm of severing yourself from your past and create new memories. Would you like to see yourself completely conquering sin? Would you like to be non-vulnerable to sin and temptation? We can reshape our memories in such a way that we can’t see and experience ourselves in any situation other than forgiven, loved and full of joy and peace. A memory is something that has happened in past,

our imagination is something that will happen in future. Meditation is when we make it real now and think about it until it connects emotionally. Then, you have made it present tense.

When it comes to revelation, if you’re not experiencing it, you’re not applying it. As you experience God and you’re being renewed daily, and want to be happy and satisfied, be a blessing! Everything you give away, you experience. Making other’s lives better will make you happy. Follow those who move you towards righteousness, peace and joy. Instead of trying to create something that doesn’t exist, use your faith to experience what has already been given.

We think our job is to make things happen, but it’s our job to let it happen and stay in harmony with God. Most people never get past their core struggles or core needs. Environments change throughout our lifetime, but our dysfunction is the same. Choosing beliefs to counteract our fears establishes true healing. The indicators that you believe something fully, is that it becomes your identity and it becomes effortless.

Most people are looking for something to happen “to me” instead of something to happen “within me”. You don’t need a special gift to grasp and understand God, you just have to be willing to walk in truth even when it disagrees with your opinion. The mind-journey says, “I need to be right” and it turns into a one dimensional journey in a love-fest of yourself. The heart-journey says, “I don’t care what I’m wrong about, I’m willing to see how this all comes together.”
