Becoming Like Christ – The Great Miracle of Transformation! Day Three: Daniel Fast 2013 Beloved of God, “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.” Romans 8:29 Have you deeply pondered what God’s agenda is for your life? What does God really want to accomplish in you and through you? Perhaps, if you grasp God’s personal mission statement for you, then you will be more eager to cooperate with what He wants to do. Here is the game plan. God wants to literally transform you into a new species, a son of God. (Jn. 1:12, 3:3, 2 Cor. 5:17; Romans 8)  Jesus wants to dwell inside you, so that he can change you from the inside out. (Eph. 3:14-21) God wants to supernaturally transform you into the likeness of Jesus Christ! (1 Cor. 15:49; 2 Cor. 3:18; Ro. 8:29)  Is this actually possible?  YES! Believe it!  it is BOTH true and possible. God is that powerful! Your sin, your weaknesses, your failures are not greater than God's mercy and grace. There are three general areas of your life that God wants to transform into Christ’s likeness: 1.       God wants to renew your mind, so you think exactly the way Christ thinks. 2.       God wants to change your heart, so you have the motives and attitude of Christ. 3.       God wants to alter your behavior, relationships, and lifestyle, so you act the same way as Christ. Your cooperation is essential for this supernatural transformation to take place. God will not impose His will on you. Here are three things you can do to unleash God’s transforming grace: 1.       Spend large amounts of time throughout each day communing with Christ in the “secret place”. The combination of applying God’s Word with the empowerment of God’s Spirit will accelerate change. You become like the Person you    “hang out” with. 2.       Get into transparent, accountable, discipling relationships with members of a healthy church family, people who also want to become like Christ. 3.       Pray, hear, and obey Jesus Christ in every area of life. Change is not a matter of knowing information. It is a complete transformation of head, heart, and hand (life). From Presence to Planting, Tim & Janet Johns
