Are you looking
for a dramatic change
00:00:32.46\00:00:34.10
in your life?
00:00:34.13\00:00:35.46
Well, that's what
we're praying about today,
00:00:35.50\00:00:37.07
transformation.
00:00:37.10\00:00:38.47
One of my favorite
scriptures on transformation
00:00:38.50\00:00:40.77
is found in Romans 12:2,
00:00:40.80\00:00:43.07
"Do not conform to
the pattern of this world,
00:00:43.10\00:00:46.07
but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind.
00:00:46.11\00:00:48.54
Then you will be able to test
and approve what God's will is,
00:00:48.58\00:00:52.15
His good pleasing
and perfect will."
00:00:52.18\00:00:55.92
Perhaps others
see you as offensive,
00:00:55.95\00:00:58.29
your language, the
subject you discuss,
00:00:58.32\00:01:00.62
the stories you tell,
00:01:00.66\00:01:02.12
are they appropriate
for Christian conversation?
00:01:02.16\00:01:04.99
Perhaps it's your
holier than now attitude.
00:01:05.03\00:01:07.23
The way you look
down on others in your,
00:01:07.26\00:01:09.10
I'll pray for you kind of way.
00:01:09.13\00:01:11.20
Maybe it's your lack
of involvement in issues
00:01:11.23\00:01:13.50
that would prove
that love of Christ
00:01:13.54\00:01:15.44
that you're always
telling others about,
00:01:15.47\00:01:17.97
but they haven't
seen it in action.
00:01:18.01\00:01:20.24
Well, I've got good news.
00:01:20.28\00:01:21.64
God forgives our sin.
00:01:21.68\00:01:23.24
He shows us His way in His Word,
00:01:23.28\00:01:25.31
and He gives us the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:01:25.35\00:01:27.52
to make the
necessary changes in our lives.
00:01:27.55\00:01:30.19
God allows U turns
and He's waiting on you.
00:01:30.22\00:01:33.76
The Savior is waiting
00:01:41.86\00:01:45.93
To enter your heart
00:01:45.97\00:01:50.21
Why don't you let Him come in
00:01:50.24\00:01:54.28
There's nothing in this world
00:01:57.31\00:02:01.72
To keep you apart
00:02:01.75\00:02:05.59
What is your answer to Him
00:02:05.62\00:02:09.42
Time after time
00:02:13.50\00:02:16.87
He has waited before
00:02:16.90\00:02:21.80
And now He is waiting again
00:02:21.84\00:02:26.68
To see if you're
willing to open the door
00:02:29.91\00:02:35.12
Oh, how He wants to come in
00:02:39.19\00:02:43.39
Most gracious and
loving Father in heaven,
00:02:49.50\00:02:51.93
I ask, please,
00:02:51.97\00:02:53.30
that You would
provide for Yourself
00:02:53.34\00:02:54.94
a great and mighty harvest
of souls for the kingdom.
00:02:54.97\00:02:58.11
Those who are being transformed
00:02:58.14\00:02:59.94
into the likeness of my
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:02:59.97\00:03:03.88
Amen.
00:03:03.91\00:03:05.25
Our Father in heaven,
00:03:09.98\00:03:12.85
at this time
00:03:12.89\00:03:14.72
we pause and we thank
You for Your goodness.
00:03:14.76\00:03:18.39
Thank You for listening
and hearing our prayers.
00:03:18.43\00:03:22.36
Our desire is to
have a clean heart,
00:03:22.40\00:03:25.00
oh God.
00:03:25.03\00:03:26.37
And for You to
renew a right spirit
00:03:26.40\00:03:29.70
within us, within me.
00:03:29.74\00:03:33.68
I give You permission
to transform my life today
00:03:33.71\00:03:37.18
in Jesus' name.
00:03:37.21\00:03:38.98
Amen.
00:03:39.01\00:03:40.35
If you'll take one step
00:03:47.16\00:03:50.86
Toward the Savior, my friend
00:03:50.89\00:03:56.10
You'll find His
arms are open wide
00:03:56.13\00:04:00.14
Receive Him, and all
of your darkness will end
00:04:03.77\00:04:07.38
Within your heart He'll abide
00:04:12.41\00:04:16.32
Time after time
He has waited before
00:04:20.72\00:04:25.49
And now He is waiting again
00:04:29.30\00:04:33.40
To see if you're
willing to open the door
00:04:37.37\00:04:42.51
Oh, how He wants to come in
00:04:46.78\00:04:50.15
Father, heavenly Lord.
00:04:58.73\00:05:00.06
I come before You now,
Lord, on behalf of myself
00:05:00.10\00:05:02.80
and many others, Father,
00:05:02.83\00:05:04.17
who are in need
of transformation.
00:05:04.20\00:05:06.63
Father, I believe that
00:05:06.67\00:05:08.00
a lot of us still
have spots in our lives,
00:05:08.04\00:05:10.87
places in our own lives
00:05:10.91\00:05:12.51
that need to be transformed.
00:05:12.54\00:05:14.64
So, Father, I pray
00:05:14.68\00:05:16.18
as David prayed
in Psalms Chapter 51,
00:05:16.21\00:05:19.31
"Create in me a
clean heart, O God,
00:05:19.35\00:05:21.28
and renew a right
spirit within me."
00:05:21.32\00:05:23.92
Lord, You know our
hearts, You know our thoughts,
00:05:23.95\00:05:25.85
You know what parts of us
still need to be transformed.
00:05:25.89\00:05:28.96
So I pray, Lord,
that You will help us
00:05:28.99\00:05:30.99
by helping us renew our minds
00:05:31.03\00:05:33.76
and also help us, Father,
to remember that in Christ,
00:05:33.80\00:05:36.70
we are new creations.
00:05:36.73\00:05:38.20
The old life is gone
and the new is here, Father,
00:05:38.23\00:05:42.60
as Paul said in
2 Corinthians 5:17.
00:05:42.64\00:05:46.24
So I pray for
this transformation,
00:05:46.27\00:05:47.91
not only for myself,
but for others, Father,
00:05:47.94\00:05:50.28
who are in desperate need
00:05:50.31\00:05:51.65
because they want to be
conformed to Your image.
00:05:51.68\00:05:54.42
I pray this all in
Your name, Lord Jesus.
00:05:54.45\00:05:57.05
Amen.
00:05:57.09\00:05:58.42
Father God, thank
You for not leaving me
00:06:12.37\00:06:14.50
the same person
that I was before.
00:06:14.54\00:06:17.21
You've changed
me in so many ways
00:06:17.24\00:06:19.27
and so many ways.
00:06:19.31\00:06:21.74
I thank You, Father,
00:06:21.78\00:06:23.11
for the continued
journey that we're on together
00:06:23.14\00:06:25.55
and the promise that
You will not leave me
00:06:25.58\00:06:27.62
as You found me.
00:06:27.65\00:06:29.02
Yet, Lord,
00:06:29.05\00:06:30.39
if there is any
unclean way in me,
00:06:30.42\00:06:32.92
show me, Father,
00:06:32.95\00:06:34.42
lead me in the way everlasting,
00:06:34.46\00:06:36.83
for Your glory and
honor in Jesus' name.
00:06:36.86\00:06:39.63
2 Corinthians 5:17 says,
00:06:55.88\00:06:58.05
"Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ,
00:06:58.08\00:07:00.68
he is a new creation.
00:07:00.72\00:07:02.82
The old has passed away,
00:07:02.85\00:07:04.65
behold, the new has come."
00:07:04.69\00:07:07.59
And Galatians 2:20 says,
00:07:07.62\00:07:10.43
"I have been
crucified with Christ.
00:07:10.46\00:07:12.46
It is no longer I who live,
but Christ who lives in me.
00:07:12.49\00:07:16.90
And the life I
now live in the flesh,
00:07:16.93\00:07:19.87
I live by faith
in the Son of God
00:07:19.90\00:07:22.17
who loved me and
gave Himself for me."
00:07:22.20\00:07:26.17
So let's pray.
00:07:26.21\00:07:27.54
Father, I want to thank You
00:07:30.25\00:07:31.58
that You have
made a change in me,
00:07:31.61\00:07:33.68
and I thank You for
those who are watching.
00:07:35.35\00:07:37.45
There are those
who are celebrating
00:07:37.49\00:07:41.29
multiple years of freedom
00:07:41.32\00:07:45.26
from the chains
that once held them,
00:07:45.29\00:07:49.13
those that are
celebrating sobriety.
00:07:49.16\00:07:53.03
God, thank You for
Your power to deliver.
00:07:53.07\00:07:57.21
Thank You for Your power
to change us, to cleanse us.
00:07:57.24\00:08:01.54
God, we give You glory
that You are the deliverer.
00:08:04.71\00:08:09.18
Father, I know that
00:08:13.29\00:08:14.92
there are those
who are watching,
00:08:14.96\00:08:16.29
who are praying for
family members and friends
00:08:16.32\00:08:19.73
who need salvation.
00:08:19.76\00:08:22.93
This one writes,
00:08:22.96\00:08:24.30
"Pray for a
friend to be delivered
00:08:24.33\00:08:26.60
from Facebook and from alcohol,
00:08:26.63\00:08:30.67
from bitterness, from
selfishness, from anger.
00:08:30.71\00:08:34.98
Lord, it's amazing the things
that we allow to, to bind us.
00:08:35.01\00:08:40.62
So, Lord, we
need Your deliverance.
00:08:44.29\00:08:46.25
We pray for the salvation
of this one for her marriage,
00:08:49.72\00:08:54.63
God, many are watching
00:08:58.57\00:08:59.90
that need
strength in their marriage.
00:08:59.93\00:09:02.40
They need Your
healing touch, God.
00:09:02.44\00:09:06.21
Fill them with
love for their spouse.
00:09:06.24\00:09:08.31
We love You, God.
00:09:12.01\00:09:14.78
One writes,
00:09:14.82\00:09:16.15
"I've been struggling
with my faith in Jesus Christ.
00:09:16.18\00:09:20.36
Please be praying for me."
00:09:20.39\00:09:21.82
Father, Thank You
for the Holy Spirit
00:09:23.36\00:09:25.69
that convicts us and stirs us
to want a closer walk with You.
00:09:25.73\00:09:30.27
Oh God, as we desire
to draw close to You,
00:09:32.50\00:09:37.14
we know that we
will find You there.
00:09:37.17\00:09:41.48
We pray for those who
are going through surgery.
00:09:41.51\00:09:44.38
This one says,
00:09:44.41\00:09:45.75
"Please pray
for my mother-in-law
00:09:45.78\00:09:47.92
as she'll be having surgery."
00:09:47.95\00:09:50.49
God, this world
is full of sickness.
00:09:50.52\00:09:57.49
We thank You, God, for
the doctors and the nurses
00:09:57.53\00:10:00.06
who are able to
assist in our health,
00:10:00.10\00:10:05.77
but we know it's
Your healing touch
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.27
ultimately that does the work.
00:10:07.30\00:10:11.91
So, Father, please heal.
00:10:15.01\00:10:18.28
This one prays for deliverance.
00:10:18.31\00:10:19.88
"My son needs
deliverance from addictions."
00:10:19.91\00:10:23.02
Another has a grandson
00:10:23.05\00:10:24.45
who's been dealing
with an addiction to drugs.
00:10:24.49\00:10:27.92
Oh God,
00:10:27.96\00:10:30.06
it's terrible to see
00:10:30.09\00:10:31.73
our friends and family
go through these situations.
00:10:31.76\00:10:36.77
We want so badly to help
and all we can do is pray.
00:10:36.80\00:10:42.07
But thank God that
00:10:42.10\00:10:43.44
that is basically
all we need to do.
00:10:43.47\00:10:47.64
We turn it over to You.
00:10:47.68\00:10:49.04
And we know that
You have the power,
00:10:49.08\00:10:51.45
You are able to deliver.
00:10:51.48\00:10:54.12
Though by sin we are oppressed,
00:10:54.15\00:10:56.72
we can come to You for rest
00:10:56.75\00:10:58.99
and know that You will deliver.
00:10:59.02\00:11:01.79
So I praise You, Lord, for that.
00:11:01.82\00:11:03.32
We read In Psalm 107:1,
00:11:07.36\00:11:09.73
"Give thanks to the
Lord, for He is good.
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.37
His love endures forever.
00:11:12.40\00:11:14.94
God, You're worthy of our praise
00:11:14.97\00:11:16.67
and our Thanksgiving.
00:11:16.71\00:11:18.04
You're good.
00:11:18.07\00:11:19.41
You're compassionate, a
loving God in every season.
00:11:19.44\00:11:23.81
Praise the Lord.
00:11:26.51\00:11:29.08
Psalm 32:8, God tells us,
00:11:29.12\00:11:31.29
I will instruct
you and teach you
00:11:31.32\00:11:32.85
in the way you should go.
00:11:32.89\00:11:34.92
I will counsel you
with my loving eye on you.
00:11:34.96\00:11:38.26
So, in your transformation,
00:11:42.83\00:11:45.40
be open to God's leading
00:11:45.43\00:11:46.94
and trust that He
will lovingly counsel you
00:11:46.97\00:11:50.87
as you transition
into who He wants you to be
00:11:50.91\00:11:54.04
for His glory.
00:11:54.08\00:11:55.41
I have decided
00:11:58.51\00:12:02.58
I'm gonna follow Jesus
00:12:02.62\00:12:06.89
I have decided to follow Jesus
00:12:06.92\00:12:11.46
I have decided to follow Jesus
00:12:14.76\00:12:18.77
No turning back No turning back
00:12:23.34\00:12:26.37
You know, James 1 commands
us to be doers of the word
00:12:32.95\00:12:37.75
and not hearers
only deceiving ourselves,
00:12:37.79\00:12:41.66
for it is not the
hearer who forgets,
00:12:41.69\00:12:44.13
but a doer who acts,
00:12:44.16\00:12:46.66
who will be
blessed in their doing.
00:12:46.70\00:12:49.90
So I pray that today
brings you closer to Christ
00:12:49.93\00:12:55.94
in your pursuit
of transformation.
00:12:55.97\00:12:58.31
Make the decision to follow Him
00:12:58.34\00:13:00.68
and to be
changed, to be like Him.
00:13:00.71\00:13:03.45
I have decided to follow Jesus
00:13:03.48\00:13:06.95
I have decided,
00:13:10.89\00:13:14.26
I'm gonna follow Jesus
00:13:14.29\00:13:19.76
I hope you will decide
00:13:19.79\00:13:23.50
To follow Jesus
00:13:23.53\00:13:27.14
No turning back
00:13:27.17\00:13:31.71
No turning back
