A Vision of Change

We are a people that are KNOWING, GROWING, and GOING for God’s Glory by the development of faith, belief, self, and relationships through the Word of God.

God is a God of change. He is a God of action. But God is not challenging us to change our outward situations. He is telling us to change from the inside.
How he wants to us change the way we view the stranger, the fatherless, the widows and the oppressed. How we wants us to change ourselves so that we become new creatures in Christ. How he wants us to change ourselves so that whatever force tries to combat us will not prevail against us. How he wants us to follow him, to follow Jesus and to follow the word of God.
God loves us. That despite all of our doubts, all of our fears, that there is a place in heaven for us, where nothing can harm us, where nothing abides but joy and jubilation and peace.
So I challenge you to accept the change that God has placed in your life.

Come
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

Learn
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:2-3

Be Transformed
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2; Philippians 3:12-16

Abundantly walking in the Blessings and Glory of God

He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21
