WARRIOR, ONCE WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR SANCTIFICATION PROCESS OF THE BELIEVER, IT IS NOW TIME TO ENTER INTO OUR TRANSFORMATION PROCESS OF THE BELIEVER. HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE STEPS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS OF THE BELIEVER OUT OF ROMANS 12:1-3. IT IS ALL A MATTER OF PRESENTATION FOR TRANSFORMATION.
STEP #1: PRESENT YOUR BODY. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (VS. 1) WARRIOR, YOU MUST SHOW UP TO THE PLACES OF TRANSFORMATION IF YOU EVER WANT TO BE TRANSFOMED. BODILY! A CATERPILLAR CAN WANT TO BE A BUTTERFLY ITS WHOLE LIFE, BUT UNTIL IT SHOWS UP TO THE CACCCOON IT WILL NEVER BECOME A BUTTERFLY. WE MUST, AS PAUL SAID, FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSFORMATION, PRESENT OUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE. THE LEAST WE CAN DO IF WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE GOD’S TRANSFORMATION, IS SHOW UP TO THE PLACE WHERE HE DOES THE TRANSFORMING. YOUR BODY IS MADE UP OF YOUR HANDS, YOUR FEET, YOUR MOUTH, YOUR EARS, YOUR EYES, ALL OF THOSE MUST BE WHERE GOD SAID THEY WOULD BE, WHEN GOD SAID THEY NEED TO BE THERE, SO GOD CAN TRANSFORM THEM INTO WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO BE WHICH IS THAT OF INSTRUMENTS OF HIS BODY.
STEP #2: PRESENT YOUR BRAIN: 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.” (VS. 2) PAUL GOES ON TO SAY, “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.” YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR “MIND” TO. YOU CAN BECOME ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR “MIND” TO. MIND OVER MATTER. THIS IS THE ENTIRE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THIS STEP. YOU MUST GIVE YOUR MIND TO CHRIST SO HE CAN “BEAUTIFULLY TRANSFORM YOU” THROUGH THE RENEWING PROCESS. THIS RENEWING PROCESS HAS THE SAME MEANING AS THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS. IT IS ABOUT OLD THINGS PASSING AWAY, AND ALL THINGS BECOMING NEW. WHEN WE GIVE OUR MIND’S TO CHRIST, HE GIVES HIS MIND TO US & WE BECOME “BEAUTIFULLY TRANSFORMED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.”
STEP #3: PRESENT YOUR BESTOWMENTS: Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.” (VS. 6-8) WARRIOR, THESE VERSE CLEARLY TELL US THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT, & UPON TAKING STEPS 1 & 2 IN OUR TRANSFORMATION PROCESS, WE ARE NOW READY FOR STEP #3, THAT OF WHICH IS PRESENTING OUR BESTOWMENTS. FIRST, WE ARE PRESENTED WITH THE GIFT, THEN WE PRESENT THE GIFT BACK TO THE ONE WHO HAS BESTOWED IT TO US. THERE IS A GIFT FROM HEAVEN INSIDE OF YOU, THEREFORE, YOU MUST CLEARLY IDENTIFY WHICH GIFT/GIFTS YOU HAVE & BRING THEM TO THE LORD FOR THE PURPOSE OF USING THEM FOR HIS GLORY. THIS IS THE FINAL STEP IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION PROCESS.
