Transformation

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."


2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Scriptures are the Word of God.
The Word of God is the thoughts of God
The Word of God is the principles of God
The Word of God is the wisdom of God
The Word of God is the ways of God.
The Word is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.
The Word makes us righteous.

Righteousness is to do what is right in God's sight.

God's Word is not only for doctrine but it also corrects and instructs us to be a better person and to have a better lifestyle.
In order to obtain this, we need to renew our mind according to the Word of God.
We need to think like God thinks in order to obtain the same results. We must allow God's word to correct our thought pattern and direct our ways of life.

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:7-11

God has higher thoughts than we do. His thoughts are productive and prosperous.

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

3 John 1:2

Notice that prosperity and health goes hand in hand just as much as sickness and poverty works together.

"…And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse…".

Mark 5:26

It is the will of God for us to live in prosperity and health and not sickness and poverty.

This is attainable when we renew our mind.

Prosperity begins in our soul. Our soul is our mind, intellect and emotions.

Although God created us to have emotions, he did not intend that they control and overrule us. He gave us authority over everything on the earth and that includes our mind, intellect and emotions. Unfortunately, most people allow their soul to rule their lives. When an un-renewed mind and emotions dominate you, they will lead you away from the will of God for your life.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."

Romans 12:1-3

Transformation has to take place in order for my life to experience productivity, good things, health, prosperity and peace.
