Today I want to search more things to help us with the change process God has us on as believers… a new vacation, becoming more like Jesus!

1. Ask JESUS to help us with our roadblocks.

Roadblocks are areas of life that slow down movement.

They slam on the breaks of change.
I’ve found out that a lot of people’s roadblocks are sometimes hidden and they’re silent but they’re very, very real.

2 Corinthians 7:1 “Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence or awe for God.”

Look at the word “everything.” – “everything that contaminates”.

What are the everything’s that contaminate our ability to be more like Jesus?
+ What are the roadblocks in our life?

Ephesians 4:22 “Throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life. Which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception.”

2. Learn how to refuel.

Through…Prayer, Reading the bible, Meditating on scripture, Listening to Worship Music, Times of Worship

2 Peter 1:3-8 Here is the result of being refueled. “As we know Jesus better His divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life. So make every effort to apply these promises to your life. Then your faith will produce a life of moral excellence. A life of moral excellence leads to knowing God better. Knowing God leads to self-control. Self-control leads to patient endurance and patient endurance leads to godliness. Godliness leads to love for other Christians, and finally you will grow to have genuine love for everyone.”

The Bible says this change process is always expressed in the context of community – in showing and having genuine love for others.

We are never more like Christ than when we express love.

Ezekiel 36:26 “And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new obedient heart.”

Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

I love this about God!
+ He has the power to speak into things that our formless, empty and covered by darkness and create something NEW!

God is greater then our past, our darkness, sin, brokenness…
God still has the power to speak to the chaos in our lives and bring order to it!!

I love that the Holy Spirit and the Word of God were both present when this happened in Genesis…

The same HS and Word is still as powerful and available today to bring a Genesis to our lives!!
NEW BEGININGS
