Fearless-Factor - 2 Corinthians 3:18

Transformers...More than meets the eye.

What does it mean to be Transformed? Websters dictionary says Transform is "to change in composition or structure b: to change the outward form or appearance of c: to change in character or condition." As a Christian what does it mean to be Transformed the best verse to describe this is the Fearless Factor for today, 2 Corinthians 3:18 "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

The Spirit? The Holy Spirit is what is changing us into Christ Like examples? IS IT IN YOU? The Disciples of Christ were Transformed. Not by just being with Jesus, remember these men walked and talked with Jesus they saw more miracles than were recorded. Even John says they couldn't write down all of the mirarcles they were witness to, the journals would be to large. But, after the crucifixion they went on with there life as fisherman and their various previous professions. It was not until Acts 2:4 that they were transformed. Here they became More than Meets The Eye. Peter was not afraid, John was more Bold. These are not the same men from the Gospels in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These men were filled with the Holy Spirit. They were Fearless and Quiet No More. No longer did death have a grip on their lives. They knew their purpose. The Holy Spirit filled their very being and they began to do thing like never before. Miracles yes, but to speak in other languages as the spirit enabled. They didn't stop and go to college to learn a new language, they didn't go out and buy Rosetta Stone language cd's to study, and they didn't go to seminary. These men were TRANSFORMED by the Holy Spirit.

Are you ready to be Transformed. Matthew 7:7 talks about Ask, Seek and Knock. Ask the Holy Spirit to grant you the transformation into what God has made you for. God is no different today than He was at the creation of the Universe. He is Just as Powerful and Just as Loving. The Holy Spirit is ready, willing and able to Transform you. The Question is are you ready to be Transformed.

Be Fearless and Quiet No More
