For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need
(Philippians 4 verse 13)
For me to become a transformer I need to undergo three phases of transform:
1. Transforming
2. Transformed
3. Transformer
In each of these I will let the Lord tell you more and confirm the processes. Father open our hearts to hear you voice and receive your message today.
1.Transforming
1 Peter 2 verse 2 - 4: Cry out for this nourishment as a baby cries out for milk, now that you have tasted the Lord's kindness. Come to Christ who is the living cornerstone of God's temple.

2 Timothy 2 verse 4: And as Christ's soldier, do not let yourself get tied up in the affairs of this life, for then you cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you in His army.
1 Timothy 5 verse 8: Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next.
1 Thessalonian 5 verse 9 - 10: For God decided to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out His anger on us. He died for us so that we can live with Him forever, whether we are dead or alive at the time of His return.

He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.

Colossians 3 verse 16: Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use His words to teach and council each other.

2 Corinthians 5 verse 20 - 21: We are Christ's ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, "Be reconciled to God!".

Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
And then lastly I would like to give you a glance at who God is from the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 51 verse 15 - 19:
He made the earth by His power,
and He preserves it by His wisdom.
He has stretched out the heavens
by His understanding.
When He speaks, there is thunder in the heavens.
He causes the clouds to rise over the earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from His storehouses.
Compared to Him all people are foolish
and have no knowledge at all!
They make idols, but the idols will disgrace their makers,
for they are frauds.
They have no life or power in them.
Idols are worthless, they are lies!
The time is coming when they will all be destroyed.
But the God of Israel is no idol!
He is the creator of everything that exists,
including His people, His own special possession.
The Lord Almighty is His name!
