My Transformation After Salvation

Asking Jesus into my heart and asking Him to forgive me of my sins, was the greatest supernatural miracle in my life. It was a gift from God! As I began reading the Bible, going to church and praying...I realized that I needed to clean up my life. The Bible requires for us to bring "fruit" worthy of repentance (Matthew 3:8, Luke 3:8, Acts 26:20). What that means is that God wants us to prove to Him that we are serious about our walk and relationship with Him and He wants us to show Him. 

The Holy Spirit enters into us the moment we are "born again" of the Spirit of God. He will moment by moment, walk with us and reveal to us what has already been spoken in His Word. The Truth. I remember when the Lord Jesus asked me to specifically repent of sins that I had committed in my past. He never failed to bring up to me every lie I told, every thing I stole, every act of immorality, every false god I believed in, every deception I believed in, my worldy wisdom, my rebellion against authority, my pride, my lust, and the list went on. He also asked me to remove certain things from my house which brought evil soul ties and attachments to my past sinful lifestyle. Things like: rock and and new age music (which was my entire music collection), all self-help/psychology/new-age books, demonic wall art, bar clothes, all alcohol, drugs, and pornography. He even told me to destroy all past pictures of my party life style and sinful relationships. I took everything that could burn and put it into a pile in my driveway, REPENTED to the Lord, set it on fire and renounced the kingdom of satan and all ground I had given him in the authority of Jesus Name (Acts 19:19). He showed me through His Word how important is was to break away from all of my old friends.

​Those friends were a part of my sinful lifestyle. Then He asked me to ask for forgiveness from my Mom for being so rebellious to her as a teenager. You see, He knows what He is doing. God wants to clean up our lives, but that requires obedience on our part. I no longer had to the desire to live in sin. I no longer wanted to be like the world. I wanted to come out and be free! The Lord saw that I was serious about Him and every time He told me to do something, I did it. Six months later, I received a radical baptism of the Holy Spirt! What an amazing journey it has been for me. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed! It's His transforming power that works in us. Will you let Jesus in? You will deny yourself and take up your cross? Will you surrender at the foot of the cross so He can clean you up? Today, you can be free in Jesus Name! 

"Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."   (Ephesians 3: 20-21)
