Prayer is a tool to communicate with God, but how do most of us communicate with God? If you're mad, God can handle it. Talk to Him mad, bitter, and talk to Him about everything, and what you are going through. It's a relationship. Once you are talked out, stay willing, and humble to hear what He says about that situation. He wants you to understand what you are going through, and why.

Transformation of the inner man is the missing piece in believers lives. It is vital in order to achieve maturity in the Lord. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul paints a picture that needs to be realized by the believer today.

WARNING ⚠️! This is pure unadulterated truth that people aren't used to hearing in regards to their walk with God. It is necessary though in order to achieve maturity in Christ for every believer that is, or will come after us. As Believers in Christ we are promised the abundant Life (John 10:10), but it is only accessed through the transformation process. This is the way God is set it up, and there's no way around it. Everyone must pass through this door.

In the hour that we are living now, we see it falling away from the faith. This is because of the lack of transformation in those people's lives. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul explains this process of transformation, and as I have already gone through this process of transformation in many areas of my life, I urge you to go on this journey with me, so that you will understand what to do in your life and what issues you must take care of to be free, TOTALLY FREE IN HIM! Not only to be free but to be able to handle the situations in your life so that you're not always "reacting", but rather "Responding" the way that Jesus did-WDJD (What did Jesus do). Not WWJD, because when you say what would Jesus do you will get a hundred different responses out of 100 people. That's because people have different opinions, and the life Christ says for us to live to get to the abundant Life, it's not based on opinion, but rather His foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11-14), His rules in His house! Get victory over anger, bitterroots, expectancies, not being able to forgive someone from the heart, and the list goes on and on. It will be determined on what you address and take care of in your life, that will determine whether or not you will have the abundant Life.

This is a transformation discussion on part 2 in the transformation series, "Why do I need it"? Joined by my lovely wife Cindy, we discuss the components of transformation that I have gone through over a decade ago, and with her, more recently. People's growth has been stunted due to the lack of transformation from their childhood behavioral structures, and them not realizing it, to blaming others for their anger, frustration, and discomfort, etc.

My wife and I are going on 40 years of marriage, and we see in the body of Christ such a high divorce rate due to the fact that people cannot see their own faults, nor take responsibility for their own actions, cannot be willing and humble to see their own faults, and take corrective action the way God wants you to that is outlined in His Word.

Facing your "stuff" is vital for you, so you can advance to maturity in the Lord. Once you "face your stuff", and take corrective action by implementing God's principles, meditating on them, then and only then will you achieve maturity in Christ, as well as being set free-Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

It's like learning how to walk. When you start learning as a child you have to hold on to things and learn how not to fall. Now for you it is automatic, and you don't have to think about it. That's how it is with the transformation. We have to keep practicing and practicing the new way of living by not reacting, but rather responding.

Bitter roots are not what was done to us but our sinful reactions to what happened to us.

With transformation teaching I have to lay down a lot of fundamentals and foundation so that you're going to understand a lot more, and it will make sense as we go on. don't get discouraged, please, this is a journey that's for the rest of your life. so please be patient, and so let's go on that journey together right now!

in Philippians 2: 2-5 we see:

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:2‭-‬5 NASB1995

Yes! Even on social media platforms we need to exercise, and show God's love by giving to others in the form of affirmation by liking, following, subscribing, and by doing that it builds trust saying, I care about you, and I am listening to you. it's exactly like a letter from someone. If someone wrote you a letter would you ignore it? Not answer it? In like manner we need to acknowledge other believers because you don't know if they're having a real bad day where they need encouragement and it can be as simple as just a "like, or a comment, on something they posted.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John 13:34‭-‬35 NASB1995

Knowing Christ by his love, and having fellowship with Him so close that we get transformed just like him so that we can love others just like Him.
