How does God create change?

“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

If you are a believer, you actually died with Jesus on the cross and the resurrected power that raised Jesus from death back to life is now at work in you to create a new person.

Change always begins inside you and then moves outside into your life. God’s primary concern is with your inner being. He wants you to seek Him out and learn to depend on Him for all your needs. This is completely contrary to the world that we live in today.

God wants to purify your thoughts, your words, and your motives. This is the process of transforming you into a spiritual being with the personality of Jesus. He wants to take away your thinking patterns, ideas, and habits that are not of Him.

As you learn to think and act differently, life will change for you. You will have a different perspective on life and you will be able to discern good from evil.

The initial process is to remove the gunk from inside you and replace it with the nature of God. Then you are ready to handle change and new challenges with the strength, wisdom and peace of God at work in your life.

Jesus would have been a failure if He was not one with God during His life here on earth. This is where God wants to take you in your relationship with Him. He wants you to become so closely united with Him that nothing can shake you up or lead you astray.

Your world might be spinning apart but you can live without fear because God is within you and will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

You can’t rush change into your life because your life no longer belongs to you. God will determine when you are prepared for new challenges. All you can do is have a willing heart to let Him have His way with you.
