Spiritual Transformation

• The birthing process for every born-again new creature in Christ is born of the seed of God.
• This regenerating process must take place in every believer that is born-again in Christ.
1 John 3:9 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.
• Every born-again believer that becomes a new creature in Christ is “the seed of His kind”.
• “To every seed of its kind” emphasizes that each type of seed produces plants or creatures according to its own unique characteristics.
• Every seed carries the potential to generate offspring that share its specific traits. This concept highlights the diversity and divine order in creation.
Genesis 1:11-12, 26-27 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him: male and female created He them.
1 Corinthians 15:38 KJV Amplified But God gives to it the body that He plans and sees fit, and to each kind of seed a body of its own. (Genesis 1:11)
• Salvation is spiritual and is God’s redemptive process for the spirit man in every male and female man through the completed work of Jesus Christ to reconcile the spirit man, not the natural (outward) man back to God.
• Therefore, no man can come to Jesus unless God the Father who sent Jesus spiritually attracts and draws him and give him the desire to come to Jesus. (St John 6:44).
• This spiritual attraction and drawing are done by the Spirit of God and is not done through temporal tangible, materialistic possessions, carnality, or worldliness.
• Spiritual transformation is the process of Salvation that brings every believer that is born-again in alignment with the Will of God and His righteousness.
• Spiritual transformation is the process of Salvation orchestrated by the Spirit of God to make a thorough, dramatic change in every born-again believer’s form, appearance, heart, mind, Will, emotions, and character to form Jesus Christ and His full stature inwardly. This is that new creature in Christ awakened in you and regenerated!
• Spiritual transformation is the process used by the Spirit of God by which the image of Jesus Christ is formed in us after their likeness for the glory of God, His pleasure, and for the sake of others.
• Romans 8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the first born among many brethren.
• Spiritual transformation is to restore you spiritually to the Father.
• Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail the birth again until Christ be formed in you.
• Galatians 4:19 KJV Amplified My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you.
• Soul winning is a process of birthing another until Christ is formed in them as He is in you.
• The possession of the Holy Spirit in and over your new life in Christ is the kind of spiritual change that will involve the knowledge and understanding of God and His nature toward the nature of the new creature in you, with a behavior and mannerism of practice that will help you/us internalize His truth in Christ that will change how we now respond in the world, to the flesh, and the devil.
• As a new creature in Christ being spiritually transformed you must grow spiritually and change just as it is for the natural human beings to grow from infancy to childhood to adolescence to adulthood.
• The seed of Christ’s life impregnated in you ONLY by the Spirit of God is everything we will need as it pertains to life and godliness in the earth.
• 2 Peter 1:3 According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
• Spiritual transformation is supernatural and functions by faith through the work of the Holy Spirit.
• A spiritual transformation is to undergo a full spiritual change in nature, image, and likeness.
• The power of God is thorough meaning it is complete with regard to every spiritual detail needed to transform you into being a new creature in Christ that is not superficial or partial, but with an in-depth cleansing process that is spiritual and will make you perfect in the sight of God and His righteousness.
• 2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

In closing,
• We taught on spiritual discipline last week because we really need to know and understand that we cannot transform ourselves into the image of Christ as a new creature in Him.
• We are not in co-partnership with Him and do what we want to do and to get Him to do what we want Him to do.
• Spiritual discipline plays a vital role in your conversion in becoming like a Son of God by creating willingly and obediently the conditions that Salvation required in which spiritual transformation can take place in you.
• Many come into Salvation to follow man’s tradition and religion which is a form of godliness that denies the divine and sovereign power and order of the Spirit of God over the spirit man.
• Tradition and religious practices are spiritual practices designed by the natural man, his feelings operating in the knowledge of good and evil to prove to others their spiritual superiority over others or to others with no spiritual authority from the true Spirit of God.
• Tradition and religion are like self-help programs designed by man to take control of his own spiritual journey and to change himself as he/she Wills, then offer it up to God as Cain did his offering for Him to have no respect for it, no approval, or acceptance for it.
• Practicing spirituality as the medical system practices medicine does not get us a seat next to the Spirit of God as you/we operate and function according to our own Will.
• God commands spiritual disciplines from every born-again believer to transform them according to His Will.
• God’s disciplines are for the whole man.
• Salvation is a completed work and will not change for man’s desired way, his weaknesses, nor will it compromise God’s Will for man’s satisfaction.
• Salvation and its concrete activities to convert your mind, heart, spirit, soul, and body is forever settled in Heaven and so shall it be in earth.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
James 1:17-18 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down form the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of His own Will begat He us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.
• It is the Lord God only that gives us birth to become sons.
• The only help that we can give to the Spirit of God and His processing is to offer up our bodies as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1) by making ourselves permissible to submit and commit to the work of the Lord God and His Will to be do in us to spiritually renew us in Him.
• God can do what tradition and religion, witchcraft, and all other idols and gods cannot do for you and to you as a spirit being encased in a body by producing within us His love, habits, practices, desires, and behavior.
• Spiritual transformation brins glory to God and is also a means to enable us to present Jesus Christ to many as the Kingdom of God is displayed and portrayed in the earth through the Church.
• The Church must operate and function as the Kingdom of Heaven. It is God’s agency in the earth to facilitate the Kingdom’s Way and its righteousness.
• Spiritual transformed will make something happen in the earth as it was originally planned by God as He take back the dominion once given to man (male and female).

Amen
