(1st from Left: Who knew that this little girl would one day repent, give her life to Jesus, be transformed and then preach the Gospel to her sisters?! Jesus knew, and it's only by His grace, and the power of His transformation that I'm even living, and have walked away from alcohol, drugs, sex and suicide attempts. Don't tell me He doesn't transform, and do so mightily!!!)
(2nd from Left: This was the day after my unbelieving sister and I talked about eternity. It led to me minister the love and power of Jesus to her. After three years of praying for her, she openly received the good news. God's Spirit is drawing her to Him, and the power of God's transformation in ME is falling on her--she's recently made long awaited, healthy relationship decisions and is moving forward with her life. It's God, and the power of transformation!)

Yesterday morning in prayer, God gave me a powerful vision and word. I was praying for a friend's healing when I got a picture of God touching someone. The minute His hand touched someone, the person literately morphed into someone else. Following a bright, white light in a downward motion from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, the person transformed. It was almost like something you see in an old, sci-fi movie; kinda like The Hulk where growth is the result, only not in the muscles, color and size of the person ;) This heavenly transformation was a GOOD, internal and external transformation ;) The old was being washed away and the new had come to replace it. A new, good, birthing had taken place and it was attributed to the love and grace of God the Father.
That's a thought we know as His children, but have we really thought of the powerful implications of God's touch? Have we remembered and recognized His glory when He transforms us from the outside in after the inside out? Let me suggest that praising Him for transforming us from the outside in is just as important as praising Him for beginning transformation in us from the inside out.
Through this vision God revealed to me that when someone is surrendered to Him, believes and is willing to receive from the Heavenly realms, true transformation occurs. But the greatest part of the beginning stages of transformation is that it's undeserved and is His gift to us so that we can enjoy abundant life Jesus died so we could have. It comes with the whole giving your life to Jesus package. What a gift from God--that we don't have to worry about fixing ourselves; He fixes us FOR us. If you can't think of anything else to praise Him for (which I find impossible to do), praise Him for His transformational touch in your life. I'll tell you one thing, it is a GLORIOUS day when transformation and awakening pass from His hand to a dirty, lost soul, and even to a passive, Christian one. The very being of a person is breathed on again with life and becomes covered with His grace by His very touch. It's a phenomenal, life-changing gift of God Almighty. Open your mouth and rejoice!
I believe God is bringing mighty transformation to the Earth. I don't believe it's limited to the unsaved, but that it is also coming to the Church. For God to take us higher, we must be transformed into His likeness--it's a necessary part of growth. Your transformational growth isn't just for you, though, it's to be used as an example of the new life we are offered through the blood of Christ. It's your responsibility to share God's power in your life with others.
When God transforms, He doesn't leave us with any blemishes; it's when we try to transform ourselves that we miss or choose to miss a spot. Leave the dirty work to God--He knows all your blemishes that need plucked out and shined. His ways and thoughts are higher than yours and He knows what's best for you. Stop resisting His work in you; let Him do what He needs to do so that you can do His will for your life and become the person He wants you to be in the last days. You're being prepared for HEAVEN, for goodness sake, embrace it!
