We tend to always conform instead of transforming. Transformation means to change in form, appearance, nature and character. Whereas, conform means to comply with the attitudes, standards and practices of something. God's desire is that we transform into who He is, instead of conforming to the ways of this world.
God wants us to experience Him like never before. He wants us to step into a place "in" Him that we have never been. To open up our hearts and hear Him like never before. To obey Him like never before. We must understand that obedience is not only imperative...it is mandatory. We have entered the season where God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. The season where we will see much prophecy, much healing, and much change. There is a nation that needs prayer. There is a nation that needs God. There is a nation that needs YOU..........your obedience to the voice of God.
The thing is, obedience is not something that we just do. We have to desire to obey.....
Obedience requires submission and submission is not automatic. The Bible tells us in James 4 to submit to God and the devil will flee. It is an act of our will. It is bringing our soul (our mind, will and emotions) into compliance with the Word of God. Compliance means to yield or conform.
A good scripture to meditate on today is Romans 12:2 (AMPLIFIED)
"Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]."
There is a dying world that needs you. That needs the river that is locked up inside of you. It's time to let it flow. It's time to bring our lives into total submission with the will, purpose, and plan of God. Are you ready?
