God Create A Change in Me

It's Time For A Change 

Is everything perfect in your life?  When would you say is the best time ttry it God's way? 

In order to be in agreement that it's time for a change, one has to confess that things aren't perfect in our lives and then be in agreement that change is desperately needed.   

In order to be true to God, to ourselves and walk in His fullness, we have to admit that living a life fulfilling the flesh is denying who we are in God and denying  who He created us to be.  We were created to be inventors, to be caretakers, to be comforters, to be planters, to be nurturers, to be educators, to be people that help and serve the needy.  We were created to show a dying world who God is.  We also need to respect that no one person was designed to be all the things listed above to everyone, that is God's job.  We have to concede that we were merely meant to play a vital role in fulfilling His plan.  

Now the goal isn't to have you thinking that God has designed us to live a perfect life, but He has designed a plan where He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. (Philippians 4:19) 

In fact in the book of Philippians, Paul was writing to give thanks to the Philippians for the gift they had sent him after he was imprisoned in Rome. Even in the midst of his problems he took the opportunity to encourage the Philippians to stand firm in the face of persecution and rejoice.  Being able to praise God in your heart is a sign of humility and understanding that God is truly in control and with Him there is victory in whatever situation you find yourself in.     
   
For those who meditate on the word of God in your heart, you're planting seeds in your life that will yield many fruits in due season. (Psalm 1:2-3)   
Remember you reap what you sow.   What seeds are you planting? 

Have peace that whatever change we are in need of, it's achieved by having a right relationship with God.  Jeremiah 24:7 says, God will give us a heart to know Him.  God says we will return to Him with our whole heart.  Giving our whole heart to God, is living with purpose, living in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) 

 Through a right relationship with God, we will grow in our unselfishness (being generous) and selflessness (having more concern for others), so that living and serving God becomes apart of who we are  Accomplishing living wholeheartedly for God is to surrender your heart and life to His will. We are looking to become one with God and Ezekiel 11:19, says God will give us one heart, and put in us a new spirit. 

Living humbly and in the spirit of unity is accepting God's plan is for us. A change of heart is needed to surrender your will, so that God's will is done through you.  Having a change of heart is acknowledging that God's plan calls for us to decrease in us and our will that allows us to increase in Him daily. (John 3:30 )
