Transforming Perspectives | Philosophically, most avoid the subject of God’s Wrath. Perhaps, because of a lack of knowledge, pertaining to God’s effectual love, or a misunderstanding of the evils of man’s carnal nature. Therefore, believing God’s Wrath precludes the general population. God is love but without the Spirit of God, man cannot understand the existential purity of his mercy and compassion upon all mankind.
God knows men’s every act as well as convicting the heart for each wrongdoing. The Epistle to the Hebrews expresses, “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making in operative, energizing, and effective]. Is shaper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as the division of soul and spirit [ the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow, [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews Chapter 4:12, Amplified Bible.
Scriptures are clear, God’s wrath will come upon anyone not clothed in the righteousness of God, referred often, as found naked. The same condition Adam and Eve attested before God in the Garden. Formidably, the letter to the Hebrews expressed of the effect of the Presence of God and its reaction to his supreme holiness and righteousness. Apostle Paul exhorts further, “And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews Chapter 4:13, English Standard Version.
In Revelation, John the Apostle witnessed also of the Lord’s sitting upon his throne of Judgment as with the visions of Ezekiel and Jeremiah, of Jesus’ return to reign on earth and to judge the world for all unrighteousness, stating “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” Revelation 19:15, KJV.
Yet, God’s Grace is our assurance and guarantee of being saved from his Wrath, being at rest by faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
Pray, Read and Study - Jude Chapter 1, Revelation Chapter 19. The Bible, presented in various versions, is for each reader’s edification of the Scriptures.

Transforming Perspectives | Phenomenal, is the 'World', believed as the physical land masses stretched across geographical atlases or rotating globes. Biblically, this ideology is, ארץ pronounced, 'erets (Hebrew), and means land or the earth. The implication is, as in the Beginning when the Lord spoke, ‘Let there be..’ and aspects of creation became visible as physical substance and matter, such as, the Heavens and the Earth. Formidably distinctive, defining ‘the World’ in certain Scriptures, is the word, κόσμος (Greek), in English pronounced cosmos, which is interpreted as an orderly arrangement, decoration or adornment, presumable of creation or the earth and figuratively includes its inhabitants, morally. This ideology is implied when John the disciple proclaimed, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16, Kings James Version.
Theologically, the formative ideology of ‘the World’ as an adornment of God’s creation are the effects of his Supremacy, council, orders and decrees, called the Law. Most, understand this ideal as the physics of ‘cause and effect’. The ecologies of the natural environment, and habitable creatures of plant, animal and man. Solomon inferred, of the constant transitioning of World, as עןלם, עלם, pronounced, ‛ôlâm ‛ôlâm (Hebrew), pertaining to eternity, by expressing, “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11, King James Version.
Subsequently, that World became corrupted when Adam sinned, secularly, the Fallen World. Scriptures are specific pertaining to the conditions of the world in the end times, correlating it to pride, sedition, and idolatry, symbolically termed Babylon. Apostle John, saw in visions of the effects of the Lord’s righteousness, that the corrupted must become incorruptible, and hearing the angel’s voice shouting, “Babylon is Fallen, is Fallen! “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Revelation 18:3, King James Version.
Pray, Read and Study | Isaiah Chapter 48 and Revelation Chapters 17 & 18.

Transforming Perspectives | Having our names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, is an obscured authentication of believer’s Faith in Jesus Christ. Biblically, it is a wondrous act, conveyed when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, of one’s proof of having entered into the kingdom of God, born of the Spirit.
The Lamb’s book of life, distinct from the book of life, contains the records of every person having accepted Jesus Christ, as the righteousness of God, and the propitiation for their sins, the atoning sacrifice satisfying the penalty of death, and becoming born again.
Formidably, the book of life, are accountings and recordation of all creation as well as all humanity on earth. This Book is more than ledgers as men would believe, but actuaries in the realm of the counsel of God. Archives of his knowledge and observance of every person, as expressed by David, exalting Almighty God, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet, there was none of them.” Psalms 139:16, English Standard Version.
In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John, received in visions, Letters from the Lord written to the ‘Seven Churches,’ exhorting of them his assessment of their Faith. Noteworthy, are the significances of the Lord’s frankness, timing and urgency of the delivered messages. An erroneous assumption for believers of the prophetic narrative, is to overlook or underestimate the audience defining each Church to whom the Lord addresses and of their position of Faith, as Jesus says, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:5-6, King James Version.
Pray, Read and Study | The Book of Revelation Chapters 2, 3, 5 and 21.

Transforming Perspectives | Rapture, a term some use to refer to the events of gathering of believers in the EndTimes, is the most scoffed term pertaining to Christianity, often, accompanying vivid imagery of men ominously ascending into the night sky.
Be not dismayed by scorners nor scoffing! Bible Prophecy is certain, and several events will occur in which the Lord will gather believers to himself by the omnipotence of God.
Jesus Christ exclaimed of these certain times and moments as signs of the End, exhorting of steadfastness in faith, remaining spiritually ready for his return. In Matthew’s accounts, Jesus uses contrasts and comparisons of faithfulness, of similar persons actively working in the last days, yet some will ascend and some will remain.
Notably, in this example, the Hebrew term, describes of being spiritually anchored relationally, in the Lord,saying, “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” Matthew 24:40-41, King James Version.
Furthermore, Apostle Paul responds to believer’s concerns, rebuking cynicism, events of believer’s being raised at the trumpet’s blast at the Lord’s Return. Paul expresses of several gatherings, which are explained, as either ‘catching up or taken’ in Scriptures.
Formidably, Apostle Paul describes events aligning with John the Apostle’s witness of the Lord’s Return, and of God’s great mercy of gathering those remaining during the great tribulation, having come into the Faith, “And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14, King James Version.
Pray, Read and Study - Matthew Chapter 24, Mark Chapter 13 & 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4

Transforming Perspectives | Scriptures are specific pertaining to events of reckoning, reconciliation and restoring in the EndTimes. However, most believers consider the times called the Latter days, the Last days, and the Lord’s Day, synonymously and often, glance over any presumed distinctions. Biblical narratives, however, contain prophetic distinctions and differences defining these times, so that believers will know Bible Truths from false reports, as Apostle Paul exhorts to Timothy of the perilous times ahead, of men turning away from sound doctrine.
‘The Latter Days’ in biblical Hebrew, depicts a perpetual perspective, such as now, then and afterwards. Often, the phrase infers the utmost point in time in which consequential judgment impacting a nation and a people, referred as posterity or a remnant will occur, as in the latter visions of Daniel.
Whereas, ‘the Last Days’ from which in Greek derives the theological term Eschatology, defines the continuity of consequential events encapsulating the EndTimes, as implied when, “Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days..,” Genesis Chapter 49.
Furthermore, ‘The Lord’s Day’ designates the actuality of the EndTimes, and is the fulfillment of Bible Prophecy as well as the unfolding events of the Lord’s 2nd Coming and 1000 years reign. Scriptures provide assurance of God’s righteousness prevailing throughout the world, so that believers will stand uncompromisingly, amiss worldly cynicism, as Apostle Peter warns, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts. And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation…But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:3-4, & 8-9, King James Version.
Pray, Read and Study - Deuteronomy Chapter 4, Daniel 4 & 2 Timothy 3.

Transforming Perspectives | Often, Bible Prophecy is read with glazed eyes, seemingly because of its complexity. Time, however, necessitates for men to understand Bible Prophecy, beyond its metaphorical imagery, interpretation or predictions. So that men would grasp the contextual framework, intent and purposes of this mode of communications to the world. Unlike worldly predictions, Bible Prophecy conveys the evidentiary certainty of God’s intervention on earth acccomplishing his ultimate redemption of mankind.
Prophecy is God’s method of communicating future events of times, seasons, and conditions for promised blessings, exhorts for repentance, and impending correction or judgment for the unrepentant, so that men would be expectant or take heed, and be prepared. God speaks to chosen messengers, named prophets and angels, as Gabriel and Michael, through personal encounters, termed epiphanies or spoken audibly, or seen in visions, or witnessed spiritually. Specifically, messages for a nation, a people, individuals and the entire world.
Often fulfilled over years and many instances, accomplished over centuries. For examples, the Prophecy of Jeremiah regarding Judah’s captivity into Babylon, woes to the nations in the last days comprised in the books of Zephaniah and Habakkuk, as well as, the Promised Seed of Abraham spoken of the Messiah, the Lord who is from the Beginning, and affirmed, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. “ Revelation 1:8, King James Version.
Formidably, prophetic narratives convey to the modern world of God’s great faithfulness, mercy, long suffering, and also, of his righteous judgment. The authenticity of Bible Prophecy, ratifies God’s wonders of reconciliation, reckoning and reign over all creation, as John the Apostle, witnessed being taken by the Spirit to the moment of the Lord’s Return.
Pray, Read and Study - Habakkuk Chapter 2 & Zephaniah Chapter 2.

Transforming Perspectives | Most of us understand signs as directional markers, many look for signs for guidance, some seek the alignment of the celestial stars to indicate times and seasons.
Biblically, however signs and wonders are indications of Almighty God’s Intervention upon the earth, so that men may be informed and not troubled or led astray nor deceived in the uncertainties of times of transitioning in significant historical events.
Many biblical narratives expound on the occasions where with the world’s conditions and sentiments revealed prophetic times and seasons. Biblical prophecy is of God. Formidable, is the occasion when Jesus Christ responded ardently to religious sects and leaders for their consultation and reliance upon worldly signs and trinkets for reasonings of seasons and events.
The Gospels accounts of Matthew and Mark, share events spoken of by Prophet Isaiah of the sign of the Messiah’s entrance into the city of Jerusalem, riding on a colt as the proclamation of his kingship and lordship. Moreover, this event is a mark of the time of his predestined crucifixion and resurrection. Events where which the religious leaders could not recognize. Inquisitively, however, his disciples asked of his return and of the signs of the end.
Referencing Jesus, “”And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.””
Matthew 24:3-6, the Bible, King James Version.
Pray, Read and Study - Matthew Chapter 24 and Mark Chapter 13.

Transforming Perspectives | Every person who has ever lived on earth, life will not end at death nor in the grave! Only, the persons who have accepted God’s Grace of Salvation accomplished by Jesus Christ will abide with GOD. Heaven is a dwelling and a life, an existence in the eternal glory of Almighty GOD. Whereby, the heavenly hosts along with every form and matter such as stones, jewels and flowers reverence in obeisance, songs of praise continuously unto GOD.
Apostle John saw in visions of the EndTimes, events of believers dwelling in heaven after being gathered in a manner similarly to Enoch and Elijah, being taken or caught up by the living creature witnessed by the Prophet Ezekiel.
These Eschatological events identifying the EndTimes or the Last Days, represent periods of reconciliation and reckoning during Jesus Christ’s 1000 year’s reign on the earth. In which believers called the children of God abide in heaven from every earthly tribe, race, creed, and culture. Transformed as the new creature having been translated into the marvelous illumination of light of GOD. Children being presented before God the Father by Jesus Christ overflowing with exceedingly joy.
God’s children the same is of Yahweh, dressed by Christ in white linen, the garment of righteousness, and feasting at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, celebrating with Jesus Christ and his Bride, the Church. Also, descending with Christ to judge with him upon the earth, as Jeremiah saw in visions of the throne of judgment of heaven and was encouraged not to become dismayed, as Christ says to each of us, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” Revelation 3:20 -21, KJV.
Pray, Read and Study - The Books of Ezekiel Chapter 1; Jeremiah Chapter 10; and the Book of Revelation Chapters 19-21.

Transforming Perspectives | The Bible, often referred as the Word, is of Inspiration of God, and is more than for extrapolating Scriptures but also is the primary source of instruction in righteousness, a key aspect for growing in Faith.
Apostle Paul explains in the Letter to the Philippians of the distractions that can hinder us from advancing towards spiritual maturity. A transformative work of maturing by the Spirit of the Lord, conforming the mind and thoughts on the excellency and authority of Jesus Christ. Essentially, a believers spiritual life as a new creation is ever moving forward and ever growing higher.
Apostle Paul consistently exhorts of the manner by which faith increases expounding of the mind apprehending the things of God, focused on biblical truths instead of becoming distracted by what our circumstances appear.
Paul shares of his journey as an Apostle of Jesus Christ having learned not to look back. Explaining not to focus on past mistakes or missteps, instead to continue to look ahead, not by sight but by faith in the strength of Lord, so to attain or reach the designated mark in growth. Evidence of persevering in faith having the mind focused on the Lord, Jesus Christ who will always cause us to be triumphant, as we remain steadfast not by our efforts of righteousness but growing by faith becoming transformed in the image and likemindedness of Christ.
In this, Paul encourages us by exclaiming, “I press towards the mark of the prize of the high calling of God which is in Christ Jesus. “ Philippians 3:14, NJKV
Pray, Read and Study - The Letter to the Philippians Chapters 3 & 4 ; The Letter to the Colossians Chapters 1 & 2.

Transforming Perspectives | Do you believe God’s power correlates to some sort of magnitude of force? Certainly however more so, Scriptures exposit the power of God being evident of the character of believers having been tempered as steel, becoming as pure gold.
Many being unlearned pray for more of God’s power, believing it as proof of Faith. Apostle Paul, exhorts in the letters written to the Corinthians of the transformative evidence of the power of God being relatable to spiritual maturing of believers becoming strengthened by the Spirit of God to withstand suffering, trials and tribulations.
Elijah, the Prophet performed a powerful manifestation over pagan gods, then became fearful for his life and cried out to God who spoke of the efficacy of power as of a still quiet voice. God’s wisdom pertaining to power is knowing when and how to respond in every circumstance, learning the power of listening, slow to speak, not easily offended, not easily angered, and being quick to forgive our offenders. Notably, as Jesus withstanding false accusers without speaking a word.
Also, as one of the prophets spoke of the visible workings of the power of God, “..This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 , KJV
Read, Pray and Study - Ist Corinthians Chapter 3. James Chapters 1 &2.

Transforming Perspectives | Are you aware of the biblical distinctions of Life? Its purposes today, life as a new creation by faith in Jesus Christ or life after death and the expectation or hope of life in heaven. Scriptures are specific whenever referring to life, so that everyone will understand God’s desires for creating mankind, and the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning of life, man was given a charge, meaning a task to take care or obtain dominion over the things on earth. However, God’s mercies intervening on man’s behalf purposed to reconcile man back to his sovereign will. God decreed the Way for mankind to obtain a new life, as a new creation by faith in Jesus Christ.
The new life is inclusive of the promise of salvation in Jesus Christ. Wherein, a believer dies from the carnal nature and enters Eternal life. A destination, dwelling under the rule and order of Eternal God, not being confined to any chronological timing of beginnings or ending.
Distinctively, Everlasting Life is a state of being as believers being transformed as a new creation whereby life continues in eternity. Resurrection Life is a condition whenever a believer passes from this life yet remains or sleeps until the designated time in the end of this age with which the second death has no power.
Pray, Read and Study : 2nd Corinthians Chapter 5; the Gospel According to John Chapter 5, and the Book of Revelation Chapter 20 verse 6.

Transforming Perspectives | In the modern world, the subject of Faith has become all inclusive in believing in any object, and any form or substance, making them gods.
Bible Doctrine of Faith is defined in complete specificity on the Sovereign, One True and Living GOD. So much so, Paul the Apostle exhorts and proclaims its definitiveness, as the subject or action of hope and the evidence or manifestation of things not seen. Everything that is seen on earth, above and below were formed by the unseen or invisible. Specifically, GOD - God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, misplaced belief in anything else is meaningless.
Paul exhorts for everyone to have faith in God whereby man is justified not by carnal works but by walking meaning, thriving in life by faith actively in Jesus Christ, trusting in God’s sovereign rule over all creation.
The Apostle expounds further of the biblical framework of Faith, explaining, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:1-3 - The Bible, King James Version

Transforming Perspectives | Are you aware, Jesus knowing the intent of men’s hearts, asked of many presumably seeking Him, ‘whom do you seek’?
Biblically, a definitive question, each of us will have to answer of ourselves. First, however, let us grasp the full intent of the verb ‘seek’ which conveys an action in depth and intensity, translated in Greek ‘to go after until it is found.’
The Gospel accounts reveal many seek to witness the miraculous, some come to be amongst the crowd, others out of curiosity, while others seeking upon hearing, as the report of the woman who met Jesus at the well, ‘come see a man who told me all about myself.’
Significantly so, is our soul’s desire to seek and find God, a formidable response of our hearts which pursuit expanses beyond the limits of temporal perceptions, but go after His very presence.
Wherein, as Matthew the disciple aligns our perspective, explaining, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33, KJV
Pray, Read and Study | Matthew Chapter 6 verses 19-34.

Transforming Perspectives | Understanding the battle waged in believers’ daily lives is fought strategically in an offensive stance and positioning in the power and strength of Almighty God, called the good fight of faith.
The encounters or battles believers face are trifold; wars or struggles of our flesh against the will of God, battles or wars of the mind, struggles of the renewing of our minds, a transformative phase of maturity, increasing faith by overcoming doubt, worry, and wrong or negative thinking. Thirdly, battles or wars waged by our adversary using weaponry of temptations and persecutions, against the children of God.
Our stance of faith is on the knowledge of biblical truths, God will always cause us to be triumphant in Jesus Christ who has already defeated every adversary, so that we may stand and persevere, fainting not.

Transforming Perspectives: | How can one know the will of God without knowing the voice of God or without personally knowing biblical truths and Doctrine or has relegated God’s will solely upon keeping of his commandments? Obedience is a consistent response as a believer becomes skilled in righteousness which is interdependent to knowing the will of God.
When seeking God, our heart begins to hear and in response, surrenders to the voice of God which his will becomes, more clearer. Similarly, Paul the Apostle expresses in the letter to the Romans of the connections of obedience, and submission with adhering to the will of God, as presenting our body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to the Lord. Wherein, obedience becomes a normality of life in Christ Jesus. So that, the commands and word of God are understood as more than a high standard of nice things to do!
Paul the Apostle, expounds of the biblical correlation between obedience and the will of God, expressing, “Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.” Romans 16:25-27, KJV
Pray, Study and Read: 2 Timothy Chapters 1-4.

Transforming Perspectives | Interestingly, man has defended his actions in certain times of immorality by questioning, What is Truth? Essentially, this question is an inquisition of the source, and standard as well as the authority over righteousness,
Moreover, the word knowledge is often underestimated by the modern world simply because of its variants, meaning the assumption of knowledge being a measurement in degrees of the human intellect, associated with intellectual capabilities, fortitude as well as proven experiences. However, when extending the conditions of knowledge positionally on an object, such as the absoluteness of ‘Truth’, its ideological confines become an inquisition of the mind, and presumed credibility of its source.
Biblically, knowledge is an acquired attribute, rooted in wisdom given by God and attained through experiential encounters, acquired in moments and circumstances from the fundamentals of daily life, tempered through trials and tribulations. More so, assurance of truth is gained by an illumination by the Holy Spirit, pertaining to the Deity of GOD, his creation and humanity that leads to eternal life.
Pray, Read and Study | Proverbs Chapter 3 and Job Chapters 37-38.

Transforming Perspectives | The first Book of the Bible, Genesis is narrative of the history of the beginning of living organisms, called creation which explains the manifestation and formation of the celestial and terrestrial, named the heavens and the earth. However, the book of Genesis conveys more than the beginning, its first verse, states, “In the beginning, God.” A proclamation of God’s eternal existentialism and of his supreme sovereignty, by declaring when the beginning, occurred.
The same proclamation spoke all things into existence by the authority of the voice of the Word, Jesus Christ, simply by commanding “Let there be..,” and behold all things became so! Resounding clearly in each chapter are precepts of God’s providence over all of creation in its design, by his authority, and of its fate in eternity.
God, having a conversation with Job who questioned his fairness, responded, “Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; Job 38:3-6, KJV.

Transforming Perspectives | The primary hindrance of faith is the misunderstanding of the sin of Adam, believing it as simply an act of disobedience. Of course but more, entailing yielding to the voice of temptation, thus partaking of the carnal nature, falling away from the Holiness of God and becoming separated, having died spiritually.
Biblically, the narrative of the fall of Adam representing humanity, consists of complex interplays of the reality of man’s relationship with God, and of man’s need of prudent judgment, and of the encounter between man and the adversary of the souls of humanity, Satan.
Underlying the contextual imagery of the narrative portrays the nature of the evils of deception, conveying our need to recognize the characteristics of subtilty, meaning knowing the intent, tone and voice of craftiness and cunningness, so not to yield to temptations cloaked in deceit and deception, called Sin.

Transforming Perspectives |
Profound, is the pursuit of man to find himself but is in actuality, a search of one’s inner self to find the sovereignty of God. The Bible distinguishes the dominion of God, the Kingdom as the evidences of his great supreme rule over all.
The Kingdom of God is more than heaven the destined hope, man often correlates with dying. Indeed heaven is where which the presence of God inhabits, however, the Kingdom consists the manifestations of the power of God, operating in our lives and in the world. Jesus Christ came affirming John the Baptist’s proclamation to repent because the Kingdom of God is near, marking his entrance as the King of the Kingdom in the earthly realm. Who retorts further of our need to become like willed of the lilies, and sparrows which give no thought of their lives, solely depending upon God’s providence. Mark and Luke describe accounts of Jesus’s command over nature, as well as the spiritual realms of the underworld, explicating the Kingdom as having seen or experienced miracles of healing and deliverance of bondages.
The people of Israel’s hope was founded in the promised restoration of the Kingdom which Jesus’s answers befuddled the spiritual leaders, exhorting the Kingdom as not of this world. Conveying, the Kingdom becomes visible as the children of God growing in faith and dependency upon him, wherein obtaining rest for their souls in his Kingdom, eternally.
Biblical Principle |Everything we need is found in the Kingdom, the all sufficiency of the Sovereign Providence of Almighty God. Luke 13:18-19|
“Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.” (King James Version)

Transforming Perspectives | Jesus’s volition underlying this question invokes personal introspection before answering.
Apostle John’s narrative displays vivid imagery of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem during the festival season, appearing at the pool of Bethesda, observing the many sufferers waiting for the stirring of the waters. A contextual framework structuring the fundamental doctrines of faith, hope and restoration, premised upon acknowledging oneself in the inclusivity of the ‘certain man’ of whom he spoke.
Noteworthy, Jesus being omniscient having knowledge beyond the obvious immobility of the crippled man who supposedly has a desire to be healed, recognizes also, the immobility of his unbelief. Prompting his question “Do you want to be made whole?” posed as a rhetorical volition ‘to be healed’ underlined with the presumptive response, Yes! Which premise is to gain spiritual knowledge that the outpouring of the divine essence of Jesus Christ, is healing, reconciliation, restoration and wholeness, Hebraic term ‘Shalom.’ Instantaneously, occurring at moment upon which a small measure of belief meets its brokenness’s resolve.
Jesus Christ is omnipresent, always standing before each of us, awaiting for our eyes to see and hearts to respond to the consolation of our soul, wholeness in perfect harmony with the One True and Living God.
Healing and restoration of the person God has created in you and me, become visible in our response of belief in the supreme totality of the person of Jesus Christ. Matthew, the Disciple witnessed of Jesus’s outpouring of divine healing, “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.” Matthew 9:20-22.

Transforming Perspectives |When asked to believe, often our inner thought is, how is my belief measured?
The Bible is explicit about the concept of faith which is neither a religion nor a denomination, but an act of believing God.
The letter to the Hebrews Chapter 11 defines faith as the substance of things hope for evidence of things not seen, meaning the manifestation of a word spoken, as in Noah building an ark, believing in rain as God had spoken, before it ever rained upon the earth.
Faith is indeed measured by the substance or proof of the hope planted in our hearts and minds upon hearing a spoken promise or word of God.
Notable is the Lord’s exhortation expressed in the parable of the fig tree, requiring trust in his authority to change the impossible to possible in every opportunity, regardless of time, season or limitations.
When belief meets or is active at the predestined time ordered by God, whereby hope becomes alive having assurance in God with whom all things are possible.
Biblical Principles |
All things are possible when we believe, placing our trust in God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 |
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” The Bible - NIV (New International Version)

Transforming Perspectives |A misnomer about Christian faith is related to the concept of abundance
often interpreted as prosperity..
The historical narrative of Scripture frames the concept of God provisions by events comparable to planting, gathering and receiving, relative to the perspective of farming.
Contextually, in the era of the Old Testament, a typical livelihood was of farming consisting of seasons. Biblically, farming was conveyed as a metaphorical comparisons for abounding in life by the acts of planting seed, time for growing and a time for harvest.
Significant, however is the existential root of abundance being centered in the act of giving.
Symbolically, abounding is the simplicity of God’s intent and purpose of receiving, of works so to give to others as well as man’s interdependence upon one another, being fundamental to the functioning of faith in Jesus Christ having effectual lives by trusting God.
Biblical Principles |Faith consists of trusting God, abounding in the all sufficiency of his Providence.
Mark 12:41-43 |
“And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
(The Bible - King James Version)

Transforming Perspectives |Biblically, to fret means more than a mind of dread or uneasiness but also to wrestle or struggle or burn, become agitated with or against something spiritually.
The Lord’s command not to fret, is a crucial volition to being unafraid resting in the authority of His Name.
Essentially, refocusing our mind’s stance and perspective from ourselves and circumstances to Jesus Christ. Which are actions of faith, trusting the truths of Scriptures, pertinent to casting out fears in subjection to the power and authority of the LORD our God.
Complying to the Lord’s command with prayer switches our situation from the spirit of fear, dread and anxiety, standing in faith, guarded by his armor of light, stilled in the presence of the power of his peace and Lordship over all things.
Biblical Principles |To not fret or become anxious is learning to trust God, praying in every situation so to rest in the peace of God that guards and protects our hearts and minds.
Luke 8:23-25 - But as they sailed he (Jesus Christ) fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish.
Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
(The Bible - King James Version)

Fret Not instead Trust in Almighty God – Psalms 37.

Transforming Perspectives |
Biblically, the act of forgiving is more a complex phenomenon of healing, as it is of releasing of sins, offences, trespasses and transgressions.
Forgiveness begins by submitting to God’s will as a response to his command, to forgive! So to be forgiven and so to allow the Holy Spirit to complete his perfect work in every affected individual, personally and collectively, as well. Actually, a sin or transgressions against someone e.g. a false witness (lying), coveting (jealousy, envy and stealing), unfaithfulness (adultery) are offences that impart a bruise upon one’s heart and mind. So significant are our sins against God and one another that the Lord’s intervention is required to restore wholeness and wellness of each person.
Without the Lord’s healing, our heart and mind will become sickened, often physically noticeable effects as bitterness and resentment leading to anger, and to hatred, and in untreated cases, murder.
Biblical Principle |Pray and ask God if there is any offence or sin against anyone that requires your repenting and forgiving as well as God’s forgiveness.
Matthew 9:11-13 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them. They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
(King James Version)

Transforming Perspectives |God’s Grace reaches beyond his offering of salvation by faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ, without condemnation. Grace’s expanse touches every person in need of forgiveness for sins and trespasses against God’s righteousness, and sovereign will. His grace often is referred as unmerited favor, meaning he is active overseeing every aspect of believers’ lives, providing immeasurable provisions, miraculous healing, almighty intervention and spiritual wellness beyond worldly imagination, unconditionally.
However, as in the business’ sector, acumen knows grace includes a period or time by which it is extended.
Biblical Principle |Today, respond ‘Yes’ to God’s drawing us individually to Him, while it is still the time of his Grace.
Hebrews 4:6-7 - So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders, After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart.

Judgment is the most misunderstood and feared principle of bible doctrine. Fundamentally, judgment is an act of righteousness. encompassing exercising wise decisions in matters of oneself, mankind and God.
God is Righteousness, all that is just, right, and equitable originates and exists in him. Righteous judging is rooted in wisdom given by God, requiring spiritual discernment to assessed good from evil so to respond rightly and equitably in every situation. Contrarily, man’s wisdom is partial, based upon idiosyncratic beliefs and experiences from which the principles of the kingdom of God, are misconstrued..
Ultimately, all of God’s creation will be presented before the absoluteness of his divine righteousness.
Consequences of eternal judgment for the world’s wrongful acts and deeds have been decreed, already. God’s intervention is the righteousness offered in Jesus Christ. Anyone, not standing in righteousness in the presence of God will fall into his divine judgment of the eternal wrath.
Everyone resting in the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ will joyfully be received in eternal glory of which the 2nd death has no power.
Biblical Principles |
Fear God who has provided the perfection of holiness in which believers are clothed by the righteousness of his, Son Jesus Christ.
Revelation 20:11-12 - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Scripture References |
Inadequacy of Man’s Wisdom -1st Corinthians Chapter 1; 18-31.
Men’s Spiritual Misjudgment in the EndTimes- The Book of Jude

Transforming Perspectives |In the beginning for six days God’s creation was revealed, and on the seventh day, God rested from all his works. God has set the time to reconcile the order of heaven and earth through events designated as the EndTimes.
Many people are convinced that man’s goodness will prevent God’s acts of righteous judgment upon the earth. Simply, which is not the case. It is the righteousness of God and not of man that covers sin and iniquities, unto eternity.
The Book of Revelation contains events that must occur to restore humanity, nature, and earth under God’s sovereignty of righteousness or divine reign in his Son Jesus Christ. God’s restoration involves changes in life, some things will cease and in some circumstances judgment will result in destruction. The events entail battles against forces of unrighteousness and darknesses, affecting climate and economic stability as well as human and animal sustainability.
The severity of the events is realized in John the Apostle’s reaction of physically bending, weighted under the heaviness of watching the reality of the occurrence of these events against the forces of unbelief and unrighteousness impacting the world.
Biblical Principles|Pray to understand and believe in Jesus the Christ. God has set a time for everything including the end of this age, impacting everything and everyone not clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 3:5 - He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. (KJV)
Scripture References |The Decrees in the Book of Life – Revelation chapters 6-8.The Great Tribulation- Revelation chapters 9-14.

Transforming Perspectives|The English definition of the word revelation, is a surprisingly or previously unknown fact presented often dramatically. Biblically, the meaning of revelation is the unveiling or uncovering of facts and truths.
The Book of Revelation is specific in its intent and purpose, primarily the revealing of the Lord, Jesus Christ. All inhabitants of the earth will behold the sky unfolding and the Lord Jesus Christ appearing witnessed 2500 years ago by the Apostle Paul in visions and celestial manifestations by the eternal LORD our God.
Contextually, Apostle John saw and physically witnessed these events projecting imagery of the EndTimes. Therefore, understanding the imagery and depictions of events are grasped in its simplicity of the basis of truth and not to be misconstrued by its metaphors.
The Book is trifold in its prophetic messages. Firstly, the jubilant revealing of the Lord’s second coming, his admonition to the churches, and his coronation as King. The reading of God’s Oracles of events which must come to past, the correction and purification of the people and earth, and restoration of righteous governance. Thirdly, the Lord’s triumphant victory over evil, and the final judgement of the unrighteous resultant in the establishment of a new heaven and earth, including the celebration of the marriage supper of the lamb, receiving his bride the Church.
Biblical Principles|All habitants and the earth with behold and see with their eyes, the Lord Jesus Christ at his second coming. Revelation 1:8 – I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Scripture References |The Revelation of Jesus Christ – Chapter 1.
Admonition to the Churches – Chapters 2-3.
Reading of the Scroll of Events – Chapter 4-5

Transforming Perspectives | Spiritual mindedness is a state of maturity and effective daily living for believers. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior connotes more than personal salvation encompassing a new spiritual life in Him.
A seeker of the LORD asked, “How can a man be born again? Can he enter his mother’s womb twice? “ Jesus’ answer is the mystery of the new creation, the evidence of belief in Him, being born as a new spiritual man.
Our new spiritual bodies and minds are transformed by faith by allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds by discarding carnal or fleshly old habits and thinking, conforming our ways and thoughts into righteousness and the authority of Jesus Christ being as citizens of the kingdom of GOD.
Biblical Principles |
Effective living as believers does not happen overnight. Becoming oconformed in the image of Jesus Christ is maturing spiritually into spiritual mindedness.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Scripture References |
Evidence of accepting Jesus the Christ - John chapter 3.
Spiritual life in Jesus Christ - Romans chapter 8.

The ideology of Love originates and dwells in GOD. Thus, GOD’s Love passes all human comprehension being incomparable to human love and requiring God to reveal love to us, experientially.
Humanity has adapted modern standards as parameters defining love premised on outward affections, emotional sensitivities and sexual interface,
GOD’s Love is absolute in its unconditionality being unfeigned meaning never changes or is unaffected by our actions, responses, behaviours or beliefs.
GOD’s Love for us was in the beginning and lasts forever because God’s Love for us is eternal and everlasting.
GOD’s Love will deliver us from all fears, protecting us against hate being our shield enabling us to love, safeguarding us from the fear of consequences.
Biblical Principles |
GOD’s Love perfected in our hearts enabling us to share his Love in the world.
1 Peter 4:8 And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

Every person should obtain or have access to the Bible. The Bible is not only for Christians but for all mankind to understand God, his creation and his redemptive plan for humanity.
The Bible was written and compiled by inspiration of God, meaning the Spirit of God breathed upon or made alive all of its contents. The Bible contains 66 books representing historical and future events of pertinent times impacting civilization and humanity. It records God’s visits or epiphanies whereby God reveals his holiness and his sovereignty to man. It is a chronicle of the Oracles of God which proclaim and decree through messengers, God’s grace of restorations, pleas for repentance and warnings of impending judgments.
The Scriptures often referred as the Word of God or the Living Word present biblical doctrine, provide instruction in Righteousness, correction for waywardness or faithlessness and re-proof for iniquities and injustices against one another.
Biblical Principles
Pray before every Bible study or reading for the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Scriptures.
Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
Scriptural References
The result of believing the Word of God - Hebrews Chapter 4.
The effectiveness of the Word of God - 2 Timothy Chapter 3.

A Christian is anyone who believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God, a confession of faith enabled by the transformation of one’s heart through the enlightenment of the One and True Living GOD.
Contrarily, the identity of a Christian is recognized neither by outward appearances as wearing a certain attire, emblem, frequency of church attendance nor the ability to recite scriptures.
Simply, a believer or a Christian stands on the truths of Scriptures in the Holy Bible accepting God’s Grace by faith in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The gospel accounts of the challenges of faith experienced by Jesus’ disciples are testaments to the similar struggles of faith believers will encounter, today.
Notably, Jesus the risen Christ showed his wounds to Thomas who doubted, so to increase his faith and dispel his doubts. Also Jesus stopped Paul, then a Jew named Saul from persecuting Christians so that he may become a bold witness of faith while suffering. Furthermore, Jesus knowing Peter’s weaknesses asked him to confirm his faith, by asking “Who do you say I am,” then proclaim he would become the foundation of His church.
Biblical Principle
Confess the LORD Jesus Christ and be not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because it is our strength of faith into salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Scriptural ReferencesPower of Faith -Romans Chapter 1.
Righteousness through Faith - Romans Chapters 2-4
Doctrine of Faith - Romans Chapter 5.

Being stablished in the LORD becomes evident by our response to sudden changes in our circumstances or unexpected world events.
Apostle Paul writes to the believers in the region of Thessalonica encouraging them to remain sober when hearing about bad news or experiencing sudden adversity. The underlying premise of his letter was to redirect their focus. In doing so, he expresses for them to “be sober.” Contextual this phrase means for believers to remain calm and collected instead of overreacting to sudden adversity.
The fundamentals of belief in Christianity is that the LORD Jesus Christ, came, died and will return again.
Paul reminds believers that they have been translated in the marvelous light of the truth of God. He encourages them to watch, be alert or sober and to be ready, and not to be swayed or lulled by modern myths of nirvana or scoffers or wise tales. Rejoice because God is not lacked in his promise regarding the Return of the LORD.
Biblical Principle
Praying always being ready and stable in the truths of God and standing faithfully.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Bible References
Be sober remaining steadfast and alert - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5.
The return of the Lord is certain - 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2.

Transforming Perspective
Biblical ideology of restoring or restoration expands beyond regaining health and material possessions, encompassing also the restoration of humanity. One aspect of God’s Grace is restoring humanity in the transformation of the condition of man’s image as a new creation.
The premise is returning something taken, something given away, something lost from yielding to temptations or ignorance of the value of God’s blessings, a misstep or disobedience.
Jesus exhorts, don’t loss heart, meaning remain encouraged, hold on to all that has been given because the world cannot take it away.
God‘s Promise of restoration is established in his redemption of humanity. Man who was made in his likeness and became separated by sin now is restored reconciled to God in Jesus Christ. Believers become one in Christ and being like Him will appear as He is at his return, in full Glory.
Biblical Principles
God promises to restore and the remedy for restoration is repentance or turning back to God.
2 Corinthians 5:19 . . . that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Bible References
God Promise to restore the children of Israel-Deuteronomy Chapter 30.
Apostle Peter’s discourse fulfilling restoration on Pentecost-Acts Chapter 2 and 3.

Transforming Perspectives Human need, is to connect to our Creator, God who draws us by touching or speaking to our hearts.God designedthe heart as a dichotomously functioning vital organ. Its every beat is paced with the flow of opening valves pumping life through the body’s veins.
Biblically, the heart is the essence of our being and is the well spring of the soul. Often referred as the inner man connoting the seat of our emotions, conscience, and strength of our will and tenacity. Yet, its psyche-physiological pseudonym is defined in scripture as exceedingly wicked, who can know it?
God purposes to give us new hearts in Jesus Christ who is the cure and deliverer for stony hearts, deceiving hearts, misbelieving hearts, proud hearts, and broken hearts.
Biblical PrincipleMan‘s heart is the essence of his inner being and is designed to seek God its Creator and respond in acknowledgment to his drawing. Psalms 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

God calls believers to be spiritually attuned to hear and respond to his voice. Hearing does not require physical ears. The voice of God is heard spiritually and it’s efficacy is understanding in lessons learned through obedience. Hearing firstly entails God drawing men closer and means to stand at attention, to allow the words spoken to enter the perceptions of understanding and to harken his voice in mood, tone and intent of the words and react in obedience.
Biblically, having hearing ears is not a onetime enactment instead is the spiritual efficacy of God’s spoken word embodied in continual acts of obedience and doing God’s Will in every circumstance.
Biblical PrincipleHearing the voice of God is preeminent to obedience and understanding. Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Transforming Perspectives - The Call of God is threefold; a calling or drawing, a choosing or the chosen and an election or the elect. Do not be fooled these terms are neither a distinction of specialness nor preferentially. The truth of the distinction of these terms, is how we respond to God’s drawing. God’s calling is referred as spiritually knocking on our hearts.
All are called to be disciples of Jesus Christ. The chosen are believers who have answered and have been converted, and the elected refers to believers who have remained in sanctification, being set apart and used for service for the LORD.
Biblical Principles - 2 Peter 1 :10 - Apostle Peter encourages us remain in Jesus Christ in sanctification and godliness solidifying our calling and election.

Salvation means being saved or protected from God’s ultimate judgment of eternal wrath against anyone who has not accepted his Grace of salvation in Jesus Christ.
It is God’s will for every individual to choose his offering of salvation for their life and not perish.

He designated believers as a royal priesthood sharing in the heavenly calling for service to the LORD for spiritual worship and good works.

Transforming Perspective - Understanding the inter-dynamics of Belief. Most people believe GOD exists BUT it is insufficient, alone. Belief in GOD is believing the truths of Scriptures and His Son, Jesus Christ. Belief is an upward continuum of faith and trust in GOD’s supremacy over everything. The phenomena of believing GOD is acknowledging the miraculous. However, it is NOT mind over matter which is self-dependency. Our belief in action is increasing reliance- leaning and depending upon the LORD who has all power and authority, and trusting Him in every scenario of trials and difficult circumstances personally, in our families and in the world.
Biblical Principal - Mark 9:23 - Believe GOD Can Do Anything. All things are possible or become into existence with GOD, when we connect our belief in GOD with His word and promises through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Bible Reference -Mark Chapters 8-9.

Transforming Perspective: Understanding the LORD’s command to “Forgive.”Forgiving is an action of releasing and healing the bonds (hurt, pain) of an offence, sin or trespass made against you. Similar to healing of a mark or bruising, physical and spiritual. BUT ONLY GOD, can release an offender for acts of lying, false witness, abuse, stealing, adultery and murder in thought, spoken or enacted.
Biblical Principal: John 8:7-11 God has forgiven all of our sin through Jesus Christ. Pray for GOD to reveal anything or anyone that requires your forgiveness, including yourself. Because unforgiving leads to bitterness, anger and hate which sickens or makes one’s heart cold. If so, pray to GOD for healing.

THE GATHERING – “Do You Know Me?” Episode
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about the simplicity of the Gospel message, Faith in Jesus Christ, and the gathering of His believers.
Historically, God’s intervention has progressed humanity towards a greater understanding of Him, His Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Great Reformation, was an awakening or enlightenment era which God provided revelatory knowledge of him, emphasizing for every believer to have access and a growing relationship with Him.
Insights on the function of the Church, doctrines of Faith and principles of Christianity were clarified, dispelling untruths about salvation based upon family origins of country affiliations.
Saving Faith is in Jesus Christ and the function of the Church is a gathering of believers for worship and for spiritual growth in a relationship with God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ.
Old Testament contains examples of gatherings of God’s people, called an assembly for worship.
In the New Testament a gathering of those in the Way refers to the Church or those called-out for worship.
The Way is a synonym connoting scriptural references of Jesus being the Way, the Truth and the Life, meaning not only the Way to Life but also living in Christ.
Biblical Principle: Ephesians 4:13 - Until we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

Transforming Perspective - Conversation about our need to learn to live effective lives in peace and with contentment.
Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians gives pertinent instructions about living peaceful in spite of strife and contentions or in suffering and loss.
The Letter encourages believers to consider every gain by having a relationship with Jesus Christ who being equal to God, set His work as a servant in the form of humanity, above His divinity.
Paul systematically lays a foundation for effective living established in the immeasurable riches of consolation and fellowship with Christ, resulting in sharing of His Joy.
This begins the work of being likeminded with Christ.
He emphasizes believers’s need to develop a mindset without worry or anxiousness instead to keep every thought on the truths of the faithfulness and dominion of God.
So, believers will experience contentment and peace, beyond rationale understanding.
Learning to live successfully, abased in lean or difficult times accepting, either God’s provisions given sufficiently or given through others as well as to abound neither hoarding nor wasting.

Transforming Perspective: Conversation about Biblical Truths about Death and understanding ultimate outcome of an unrepentant.
God purposes and desires eternal life for all humanity, conveying to Adam, the first man that the consequences or judgement of sin is death, meaning being spiritual separated from God.
Apostle Paul shares the effect of Jesus’s birth, death and resurrection, being resultant in a reconciliation of the world to God, signifying God’s providence being impacted upon a system which was contrary to or against his will.
Moreover, allowing for humanity to become anew under the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Paul implies the condition for man’s acceptance of Jesus Christ and his work accomplished on the cross, means death of the old nature has occurred and a new life exists in Christ.
Significant the understand, is life does not cease when the physical body dies, man’s spirit and soul remain until the final reckoning of souls before God.
There are events witnessed by Apostle John which indicate all will observe God in his Glory, the Kingdom on earth and the Lord Jesus Christ reigning as King.
Some will celebrate with the Lord.
Some, who have not accepted God’s Son, Jesus Christ will observe at a distance tormented in the unceasing and unquenchable torrents of God’s wrath, meaning God’s anger upon them.
Biblical Principles: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Transforming Perspective: Conversation about the new life of believers being transformed into an eternal creature possessing an everlasting life.
Jesus’ coming to earth to bring God’s Grace to humanity encompasses the occasion of the fulfillment of many prophetic events constituting the ultimacy of this age.
The gospel accounts of John reveal the first occasion explaining God’s purpose for sending his Son, Jesus Christ but conditions his grace of everlasting life in believing Jesus Christ, as his only begotten Son.
Everlasting life means a constant or abiding spiritual life, a term often interchangeable with eternal life, however connotes a life that never ends.
Eternal life means sharing of the divine nature of God when being born again, marking entrance into his kingdom.
Distinctively, eternal life is the abiding divinity of God and references his dominion and designation whereby time is without chronological order, accounting or measurement instead is manifested by events and occasions.
Apostle Paul travelled to Thessalonica to address concerns about news of the 2nd coming of Jesus from which believers began to fret about their salvation.
Paul comforted them by redirecting their focus, encouraging them to remain steadfast in the assurance of God’s grace and certainty of eternal and everlasting life.
Biblical Principle: Live every day assured in faith believing Jesus Christ is the Son of God, whom he sent as our Way to everlasting life.Bible References:OLD TESTAMENT - Isaiah Chapter 62 verses 8-12.

Transforming Perspective: Understanding Jesus Christ has come that we may have life, anew and eternally in abundance.
Biblical imagery of the Lord, Jesus Christ are manifold, depicting His vitality in the believer’s life and livelihood.
Matthew’s gospel accounts share Jesus has come to provide life, described by an analogy of a narrow gated entrance leading to a strait path, meaning a way of life in a relationship of faith, trust, dependency and holiness with God in Jesus Christ.
Descriptions of Jesus as the gate to life, the gatekeeper of life as well as the fountain or wellspring of life are vivid characterizations of his care for us.
The parable of the Good Shepherd contained in John’s gospel accounts provides the best depiction of the concept of the gate or door entrance to life and of the gatekeeper of the sheep, referring to Jesus Christ.
In this account, Jesus is called the Good Shepherd, a metaphor connoting the attributes of a shepherd. Jesus being perfect, having great mercy and compassion in harmony with God and nature as well as being a sacrificial caregiver of love for his followers called sheep, laying down his life for their well being.
Biblical Principle: In Jesus Christ is life, the access is a narrow and a strait path representing the work holiness or sanctification in a believer’s life..

Transforming Perspective: Conversation to broaden our understanding about the concepts of life and God’s involvement in every life before being birthed in the world.
The Scriptures contain many events revealing God’s knowledge of a person before being conceived in the mother’s womb. Some examples are, Isaac being pronounced 25 years prior to his birth, and God revealing the distinct natures of twin brothers, Jacob and Esau while in their mother’s womb, also John the Baptist’s name and life being predestined before being conceived by his parents.
These true events indicate our life begins in the mind of the Living God, as well.
God gives each of us a destiny before being conceived by our parents, determines our person and personality and while developing in our mother’s womb, accounts or make notes of the life of each finger, toe, and arm as well as reckons each of our hairs.
Contrastingly, Job being under extreme tribulation questioned the purpose of his life and was given great knowledge and understanding by God of the interconnection of one’s life to the ecologies of plant and animal life, as well as one’s interdependency with earth.
He surmises life of every living being is in God’s hand who is the breath of life of every human being.
Biblical Principle: Life is determined by God in advance and accounted in Jesus Christ the sustainer or fountain of life, before the foundation of the earth was formed.
Bible ReferencesOLD TESTAMENT – Job Chapter 12 verses 1 – 12.
NEW TESTAMENT – John Chapter 6 verses 1 – 14, Ephesians Chapter 1 verses 4-5.

Transforming Perspective: Conversation encouraging believers to be cheerful and courageous everyday.
Joshua before leading the nation of Israel to cross over to the Promise Land was exhorted many times, “To Be of Good Courage,” meaning having positive acceptance and confidence in uncertainty and challenging circumstances. A hard thing to do alone, the nation suffered 40 years of hardships in the wilderness, however through this, they learned obedience to trust God, having witnessed many miracles.
Psalms one teaches many principals about daily living beginning with the contrasts between righteous and wicked lifestyles. Most encouraging is advice to meditate on the word, commands or precepts of God.
Meditation means to chew over and over again, like eating food to better digest or in this case better understand God’s teachings which Psalms one says to do day and night.
The effect over time is a renewed or convinced mind to focus on God’s Supremacy and so the Word becomes active in our lives.
Proverbs three identifies the effectiveness of daily prayers, reading and studying the Bible, stating that trusting God, by gaining confidence though communing with him daily, will result in acknowledging his control of each day, learning to depend upon his provisions, guidance and protection in everything.
Concurrently, Jesus after speaking to his disciples about the events that must occur, strengthen them by saying difficulties will occur but “be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” meaning for us to take courage, cheer up and be comforted because Jesus has defeated every adversity in the world.
Biblical Principles: Having a relations with God through Jesus Christ, is communing in the quietness of prayer and studying the Scriptures, so to learn to trust and depend upon him.
Bible References:OLD TESTAMENT –Psalms 1, and Proverbs 3 verses 5&6.
NEW TESTAMENT – Gospel Accounts of John Chapter 16 verses 16 – 33.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation encouraging believers to be diligent in getting understanding about God, and his kingdom as well as a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Christianity is more than religious observances or acts, it is a relationship with Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit to gain wisdom and understanding, so to abound in life exercising wise judgement in personal and business affairs.
God, gave king Solomon an extraordinary gift of wisdom so he may become prudent, judging equitably over the nation of Israel.
King Solomon sought to understand the things of God, chronicled in three books of the Bible, providing instructions about the principles of life, one of which is Proverbs. He says, to fear God is the beginning of wisdom, so getting wisdom is the principle thing but get understanding, too!
Wisdom is, apprehending reverential fear of God’s sovereignty, and understanding is depending on his control and care, and his ability to change any circumstance, in a moment.
God often displays plainly, seemingly hidden mysteries so we may acquire virtues of humbleness in the humility of our trials, suffering and tribulations. Solomon compares theses virtues as valuable jewels to get (pursue, attain, acquire) and to be kept or guarded in our hearts.
Similarly, Jesus taught using earthly comparisons called parables to describe the concepts of God’s kingdom. In the parable of the Sower, He explains about the concept of sowing a Seed, a biblical metaphor for dreams and promises given to believers, and spoken by a word or in a vision and by Faith becomes fruitful.
Jesus’ disciples called these hard sayings, meaning difficult to grasp or understand, which Jesus rebuked, inferring bystanders are not expected to understand but emphasizes to his followers,“It is for you to understand the mysteries of God.”
Biblical Principles : Ask for wisdom which God gives liberally, and be diligent in getting understanding then keep them as treasures.
Bible References:OLD TESTAMENT – Proverbs Chapter 4.
NEW TESTAMENT – The Gospel Accounts of Mark Chapter 4.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation defining believers’s fight of Faith in the greater battle of God’s, against the forces of evil.
The fight against evil is not mythical theology.
The realities of the battle are depicted in the narratives of the Bible about grandiose leaders elevated as gods and cultures worshipping things of creation instead of God.
God reveals in the Scriptures, the nature of good as well as evil, so that man would judge wisely in societal matters.
Our lives often intersect the greater battle waged of the enemies against God in whom victory is won, now and in the future.
Historical events of God’s victory over the forces of evil are seen in the deliverance of the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt, and Lot’s deliverance from wickedness of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as Daniel being freed from an egregious ruler and shielded from death of a fiery furnace without a singe or burn.
More over, each of us has personal wars involving struggles with temptations and worldly habits of the nature of the old man against our transformation of the divine nature of our new creature.
The times ahead, require as Apostles Paul and Jude exhort for us to be prepared. Paul shares, the good fight is to remain steadfastly in faith, trusting in the faithfulness of Almighty God.
Jude encourages us to contend for the faith, meaning stand in the struggle against compromise, scoffers, cults, and myths, being rooted in the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Biblical Principles: The weapons of our warfare are not carnal ( emotional or fleshly) but mighty through God.
Bible References:
OLD TESTAMENT: Psalms 144
NEW TESTAMENT: 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verses 1-5 and Jude 1.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to receive the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, the third Person of the Deity of God, is the power of God, performing the will of God on the earth.
Jesus Christ introduces the role of the Holy Spirit as the Helper who operates or abides in believers, enabling us to become bold witnesses for Him.
Apostle Paul explains further of the Holy Spirit being the seal of the promised inheritance of salvation which was revealed to the Jews first then to all nations.
He expresses, for all believing in Jesus Christ when hearing the word of the gospel of salvation, and trusting God is an act of saving faith for which to receive the seal of the Holy Spirit.
Symbolically, the seal is the guarantee of being a purchased possession of God and being kept by the power of God, unto the day of redemption.
As our helper, the Holy Spirit keeps us in God’s grace, awakening our understanding, convicts or makes us aware of our sins and need of repentance, as well as empowering us with spiritual gifts to complete the Lord’s work our lives.
Biblical Principle: Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the seal of God’s promised redemption.
Biblical References:OLD TESTAMENT - Isaiah Chapter 62.
NEW TESTAMENT - The Gospel accounts of John Chapters 13 and 14.
The Epistle to the Ephesians Chapter 1.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about the abundance of God given to each of us, so that we receive from blessing to blessing in life, abounding or thriving in the work of the LORD.
In the Gospel according to John, the Apostle shares his witness of the impact of the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Apostle John’s pronouncement of Christ being the manifestation of the Word of God, dramatically propelled humanity into an illumination of the things of God.
So much so, the Apostle explains the purpose of Jesus’ Coming was not only for the joyous abundance of eternal life, but also for each of us to enjoy abundance in this life, as well.
The wonders of this illumination transforms our perspective, awakening our understanding to God’s Way which is not a temporal or worldly perspective, consisting of the things we possess.
The Spirit of God teaches us to grasp, accept, apprehend and thrive in receiving and doing well in giving, abounding from blessing to blessing to which more is given, (John :1:16, Matthew 25:29 NIV)
Moreover, abounding means being thankful and content drawing on the abundant provisions of God, such as the abundance of God’s unspeakable Joy in disappointments;
Peace that passes all understanding resting in the abundance of calm of Jesus Christ in every storm;
Cheerfulness in giving of time, talents and possessions as the Spirit prompts, including giving all that we have, drawing on the unlimited riches of God.
Biblical Principle: Thrive daily, being rooted and steadfast the abundance from God, being prepared for every work, God has destined for each of us.
Bible References:
OLD TESTAMENT - 1 Chronicles Chapter 29 verses 1 through 20. NEW TESTAMENT - 2 Corinthians Chapter 8 verses 1 through 15.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about understanding Jesus’ command to forgive, a vital aspect of our spiritual growth and healthy relational interconnections with God, family and in life.
Scripture shares some of the relational hardships Joseph, the beloved son of Jacob and Rachel, experienced through severe trials, persecutions and injustices because of the jealously of his brothers, yet Joseph forgave them of all their evil.
Jesus’ teachings about forgiveness helps us to understand why and how Joseph was able to freely forgive his brothers despite their mistreatment.
Jesus held many gatherings teaching about the principles of God’s kingdom and the necessity for each of us to grasp increasingly, God’s great wisdom in formulating man’s interdependency for each another.
Jesus explains about the truths of the commandments given by Moses, particularly the practice of forgiveness is a representation of love towards Him, our brothers and our neighbors.
He depicts love being the framework of forgiveness, given that only God knows the motives and intents of men’s hearts, and encourages us to be quick to forgive every occurrence of an offense, even 70x70 times, meaning unto eternity.
Forgiveness is the key to experiencing the Love of God, which He perfects in our hearts by healing hurts, injustices, mistreatment, misunderstandings and bitterness, so that His Love in us touches others, and being shed abroad, influences even our enemies.
Biblical Principal: Forgive everyone in every circumstance, as Jesus has forgiven us, so that His Love made perfect in our hearts will cast out all fears.
Bible References:
OLD TESTAMENT: Genesis Chapters 39-42.
NEW TESTAMENT: The Gospel Accounts of Matthew Chapter 5.
The Epistle to the Romans Chapter 5 verses 1-5.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to know and understand God’s great mercy and compassion, called Grace.
The Bible contains many descriptions of God, the nature of his attributes and the characteristics of his sovereignty and providence in handling all creation past, present and future.
Isaiah, the prophet proclaims God’s ways and thoughts are incomparable to ours.
The truth of this message encourages us to trust God and avoid trying to predict or figure out what he does or will do.
More specifically, Isaiah makes a distinction of God’s divinity, aspects of his nature, he wants to reveal to each of us.
God has given us many opportunities to turn from our ways and return back to Him.
He is long suffering, waiting patiently for us to seek Him, and making a clear path for each of us to return.
His compassion flows to its fullest measure for us, knowing all of our troubles, afflictions, heartbreak, and pain in this world, providing comfort in every circumstance.
More so, great is God’s mercy, who lovingly gives us many chances, despite our sins and trespasses, offering forgiveness and restoration for every stumble or fall.
All of which, collectively are evidences of God’s Grace.
Metaphorically, Grace is the heart of God.
Symbolically, it is the Ark of the Covenant, a mercy seat lain before the Presence of the Holiness of God in the Tabernacle by the children of Israel.
Eternally, Grace is Jesus Christ.
Biblical Principle: Seek God, boldly come to him in prayer, joining him at the mercy seat to obtain mercy and grace in every need.
Bible References:
OLD TESTAMENT: The Book of Exodus Chapter 25 verses 16 -22.
The Book of Isaiah Chapter 55.
NEW TESTAMENT: The Epistle to the Ephesians Chapter 2 verse 8-10.
The Epistle to the Hebrews Chapter 4.
The Book of Revelations Chapter 1.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to understand the reason God would choose to be born into the world as Human, Jesus Christ to die for every Man’s Sin.
God’s love for man is beyond measure, shown in the many times God intervened for man as contained in Scrpitures of the Bible.
Every event, since Adam disobeyed God’s command in the Garden of Eden is a revelation of the great wickedness and sin that is in the world, and also of God’s great mercy, such as saving Noah, Lot and the people Nineveh.
In each event, God’s redemptive plan for man into a state of rightness before his holiness was being manifested.
A significant part of God’s redemption for man was instituted with Abraham, advanced through Moses for the deliverance of the progeny of Jacob, and established in God’s righteous requirements called the Ten Commandments.
These instructions are significant for us, being more than just rules to follow, they are God’s help for us, such as acknowledging God as supreme and sole provider for our every need so that we will not desire or covet as Adam and Eve.
Moreover, help us to love as He loves us by selfless acts of placing others before ourselves, preventing strife and contentions, divorce and yes, even murder.
Most of us try to justify our lives through the keeping of these commands by emphasizing the worse, such not murdering to make ourselves right.
A clear example is in Jesus’ ministry when a rich young man seeking eternal life boasts of keeping all the Laws, walked away grieved loving his wealth above all, even God.
Let us not be foolish any longer, we all have fallen from God’s righteous requirements in sin against him for which the penalty is death.
So, Jesus had to die for us.
God knowingly in the riches of his great love, choosing to become a man, so to fulfill in himself all of the requirements.
Who is Jesus Christ, God incarnate, and the Son of the Living God the Fulfillment of all God’s requirements including the Ten Commandments, past, present and future.
Biblical Principle: The wages or cost for Sin is death, accepting the price paid by the gift of God, is eternal life in Jesus Christ the sacrifice for our lives.
Bible References:
OLD TESTAMENT: Exodus Chapters 19 and 20.
NEW TESTAMENT: The Epistle of Romans Chapters 3 and 4.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to understand what happened to Man which requires Jesus Christ to redeem him into a right relationship with God the Father.
Genesis Chapter Three provides a summary of the events that occurred, causing Man to be separated from God.
Although, there is much to learn about Humanity’s Fall, two events are important for us to know and understand.
Eve became enthralled by deception in thought, in mind and in sight. God provided food from everything in the Garden except the fruit of one particular tree, yet Eve’s flesh began to desire what God had not given and she submitted to the temptation, which was her Sin.
Adam was given the command by God not to partake of the fruit, yet he placed Eve’s provision above God’s command, and in disobedience Sin against God, and in Sin both were separated from God.
The separation was more than simply distance or lack of access to God but Adam (Man, Humanity) became dead spiritually, falling from harmony with God and from His providence.
So much so, Adam became afraid or dreaded God which in Scripture is called an enmity, and is still present in those who have not yet accepted God’s Grace in Jesus Christ, our reconciliation to God.
Jesus exhorts that the world is condemned already, being under the influence of the powers of deception, such as pride believing Man does not need God, and temptations of the flesh as greed for money and power which can never be satisfied.
Biblical Principle: Everyone born has a sin nature and has sinned against God, therefore needing to accept the Way of redemption to him which is Jesus Christ.
Bible References:
Old Testament - Genesis Chapter 3.
New Testament - Gospel Accounts of John Chapter 3. The Epistle to the Ephesians Chapter 2.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to understand and accept the truth that God, created the heavens and the earth, which will liberate our soul.
God masterfully began our story, sharing His Divine Supremacy in Creation proclaiming it as the Beginning.
The Book of Genesis provides the narrative of God’s handiwork, however revelations about divine formation and ordering are descriptive throughout the Scriptures.
Chapter One of Genesis exposits emptiness of the sphere called the Earth yet reveals the immeasurable wisdom of God.
Verse one states there was an emptiness upon the Earth, meaning without or void of any form, structure, or life neither having knowledge nor molecular metaphysical intelligence to reproduce or evolve.
That is until our TriuneGod, within the counsel of His perfect will, ordered every dynamical form, metaphysical structure, interpolar purpose as well as spherical presence, place and longevity for all things. (Verses 2-26)
God gives us glimpses of Himself such as, He being Light declares light to shine upon the earth, and gives the light its purpose by calling it Day.
Another example, God desired to make a Being to dwell upon the earth, suitable for Himself, thus in His likeness He created Man whom He called Adam, giving him creative purposes to be fruitful and multiply.
God desired to created Man uniquely and wants Man to know Him, so to some God gives natural talents or passions drawing them to seek and understand His Creation, we call them Scientists.
God shows us His attribute of joy, when He said, “it was Good.” God received delight as each created thing appeared.
Biblical Principle: God created us and desires a relationship with each of us in Jesus Christ.
Bible References:
Old Testament - Genesis Chapters 1 and 2. Job Chapters 38, 39 and 40. New Testament - Gospel Accounts of John Chapter 1.
Transforming Perspective: Our need to allow our Faith to be developed, grow and increase, so to respond in Faith believing the impossible, when Jesus expects.
The Bible reveals many narratives of true events which God desired Faith to believe Him.
Abraham of old age, in Faith believing the impossible that his wife’s womb being past childbearing would receive his seed to bring forth a son.
Noah in Faith, believing the impossible gathered tools, and wood to build a ship, having neither seen rain nor understood a flood, built a ship prepared to withstand rushing mighty waters.
Jesus’ ministry on earth included many miraculous works, so that followers would become embodiments of Faith, trusting Him in every circumstance.
The Centurion, a Roman Officer sought Jesus believing in His Supremacy and Authority, in Faith believed his child would be healed upon Jesus’ Word.
A Woman, bearing an unapproachable affliction sought Jesus, hearing of His Authority and believing in the impossible risked public scrutiny to receive healing.
Biblical Principle: Jesus Christ being the author and finisher of our Faith, develops our Faith, so we would respond, believing His Lordship over all of our impossible circumstances.
Bible References:
Old Testament: The Book of Genesis Chapters 6 -9 and Chapters 17 and 18 verses 1-18.
New Testament: Gospel Accounts of Matthew Chapter 8 verses 5-18. Gospel Accounts of Luke Chapter 8 verses 43 - 48.
Transforming Perspective: Knowing God’s Will, is understanding He is in control in everything that happens in our lives.
The Almighty and Omnipresent God directs the path in the Way of the Lord for each of our personal journeys.
He speaks with each of us in various ways and orders our steps including through evil and difficult circumstances, so we gain increasingly, understanding of His greatness and accept by submitting to His Will.
In the Epistles or Letters to the Thessalonians, Paul and Disciples, Timothy and Silas ministered to the followers providing comfort for their suffering.
Although, the Letters addressed the believers’ concerns regarding the Timing of the Lord’s Second Coming, foremost the Letters were expressions of joy and gratitude for their continued labor and perseverance.
Giving thanks is an act of acknowledgment in humbleness to God, our Sovereign Creator who has control over what happens to us and provides for every need in every circumstance.
As each of us grow in our relationship in the Lord, who always acknowledges the Father, giving thanks becomes humble admirations of who God our Father, truly is.
Biblical Principle: God’s Will is accepting the Truth, giving thanks with our minds, hearts and souls in everything.
Bible References:
OLD TESTAMENT - The Book of Isaiah Chapter 12 verses 1 through 6.
NEW TESTAMENT - 1 Thessalonians Chapters 3-5.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about acknowledging and trusting God’s sovereignty in the world and Not becoming agitated with evildoers or envious of unjustly gains.
David, was anointed King of Israel by God when he was 17 and suffered greatly because of mistreatment from the people’s choice, King Saul.
During a period of preparation, David grew in strength experiencing God’s mighty acts of deliverance and restoration.
Through suffering and hardships, David wrote messages of encouragement, Truths of God’s supreme power and authority, in prayers and songs of praise collected in the Book of Psalms.
In Psalms 37, David encourages us not to fret - become agitated or frustrated or angry, or retributive - because God’s justice and righteous judgement will prevail over all evil.
Biblical Principle: Remain prayerful, trusting that God is in control over our lives and the events in the world.
Old Testament Reference: Psalms 37
New Testament Reference: Gospel of Matthew Chapter 5 verses 1 through 12.
Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to understand the meaning of the Cross each believer has to bear.
Allowing the teaching of the Spirit to heighten our perspective of the fellowship in sharing of the Lord’s suffering.
During Jesus’ early ministry, He shared with listeners about a cross to take up and to follow Him.
Upon accepting, Jesus as Lord and Savior, every believer is given Spiritual gifts along with a cross - trials, tribulations, burdens and hardships - specific to each believer’s transformation.
Paul wrote to the Colossians to correct the follower’s misguided rituals of self debasement, voluntary humility, and nutritional deprivation. These practices are outward worldly appearances of suffering of the cross.
Paul shared with the people which is beneficial for us today, all the rules and practices of the ordinances were nailed to the Cross of Jesus, meaning blotted out by His finished work.
Biblical Principle: As believers being raised to a new life in Christ, keep seeking the realities of heaven - thoughts, desires and determination.
Bible References:
Old Testament - Psalms 19
New Testament - Matthew Chapter 5. ,
Colossians Chapters 1 through 3
Transforming Perspective: Our need to surrender to the will of God, allowing the Spirit of GOD to teach, guide and strengthen us, daily.
The Apostle Paul wrote to the people of Corinth urging them to yield to the Spirit of God and not rely on man’s wisdom or worldly experiences to understand the Ways of God.
Because of the culture in Corinth as is for us today worldly opinions, philosophical customs and ideologies were highly regarded but perverted and hindered the people’s growth in the Way of God.
As a result, many conflicts, strife and contentions arose amongst the followers of the LORD.
So, Paul encouraged them to repent and continue in the conversion process, so to become conformed into the image of holiness in Jesus Christ.
Biblical Principle: Present our bodies (offer, set-before, or yield) to GOD as living sacrifices for the LORD’S use, which is a reasonable spiritual worship to GOD.

Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to allow Jesus Christ to complete His work in our Life.
Accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour is just the beginning of the Christian transformational journey.
The apostle Paul wrote to the people of the region of Galatia to convince them Not to revert back to old traditions and conformity to the rudiments of the world.
God’s judicial act of sending Jesus Christ to die on the Cross justifying us as righteousness of God.
Jesus Christ accomplished the Fulfilment of the Mosaic Law and Prophets, meaning in Him is our right(ness) with God.
As with the people of Galatia, our comfort is to justify ourselves, making a case of self rightness through performances of religious practices and keeping of traditions.
Paul’s heartfelt cry was to convince the people Not to turn back into bondage of these works of the carnal nature.
We grasp the liberty which Jesus has made us free through an ever deepening relationship with Him, believing in His completed work on the Cross.
Biblical Principle - We are freed from the condemnation of the Law being justified through faith in Jesus and living according to the Spirit.
Old Testament - Deuteronomy chapter 6 verses 4 through 25, and Isaiah chapter 42 verses 1 through 9.
New Testament - The epistle to the Galatians chapter 2 verses 11 through 21 and the epistle to the Romans chapter 3 verses 9 through 31.
Transforming Perspective: Understanding the Kingdom of The One and True Living God whose power, dominion, authority and rule are being revealed in the world.
After 400 years of silence between God and man, God sent a messenger, John the Baptist proclaiming, “Repent for the Kingdom of God is near.” Meaning the Time of the Good News of God’s Salvation is being fulfilled.
God’s messenger prepared men’s hearts to receive God’s Salvation, Jesus Christ who brings men in the Kingdom saying, “. . .You must be born of the Spirit,” born again by the Holy Spirit, to enter the Kingdom of God.
Distinctively, in the Kingdom, we live according to the ways of God in the Spirit unlike being in the world which is driven by carnal desires.
In the Kingdom, our lives are surrendered to the Will of God relying on the wisdom, guidance, direction of the Spirit and trusting on the provisions of God.
In the Kingdom, our lives are expectant and become witnesses to God’s power and authority where Jesus Christ the King, and of the House of David holds the Scepter, is LORD over all thrones, dominions and powers.
Biblical Principles: In the Kingdom being born again, we become a new creation, old things being passed away and all things become new.

Transforming Perspective: Conversation about becoming knowledgeable about The Truth, our Lord Jesus Christ.
God our Father masterfully orchestrated His plan for each us to enter into a relationship with Him.
All the Ancients, prophets, priests as well as those seeking the stars for answers, remained perplexed as to the way and time with which God’s mystery would be revealed.
The Mystery of the Way of God’s Redemption Plan remains until our eyes become opened, and we begin to see and believe in the Truth, the Person of Jesus Christ the Messiah of the world.
Believing, is accepting what God says which is Truth which there is neither error nor fallacy and the Wonder of Salvation will become reality through entering into a new life, a relationship with Jesus Christ.In our relationship,trusting Him evermore, we will began to know and understand and He, The Truth and The Word, becomes alive evermore in us.Biblical Principles:Knowledge is the Truth of God’s Word becoming alive in and through our lives and which edifies (builds-up, loves and encourages) others.OLD TESTAMENT Reference - Isaiah Chapter 42 verses 1 through 12.NEW TESTAMENT References - Romans Chapter 16 verses 16-27, and 2 Corinthians Chapter 4 verses1 through 4, and Colossians Chapter 1 verses 9-15.

Truth is God’s revealed Reality pertaining to all things in Life.
God’s Truths as revealed in the Bible, Old and New Testaments, provide guidance, and encouragement in the meaning and purpose of life and instruction into Righteousness.
His Spirit teaches and convicts us about right and wrong, giving us clarification and understanding about the things of our Holy God.
In the World, acceptable moral character changes from decade to decade. God has given us a standard by which to live which never changes.
In this, God sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, so we might become the Righteousness of God in Him.

Transforming Perspectives: Conversation about the anatomy of man Seeking First the Kingdom of God, going after until it is found .
The Frame of our Physical Body was not created to carry the load of Life’s burdens, the weight is too heavy to bear.
In God ‘s Kingdom being content is relying on God and His abundance to supply our every need.
God desires us to make our requests known to Him, by lifting our hearts in adoration with opened hands towards Him; An act of faith and trust to which God responds by providing benefits, daily.
The Frame of our Spirit Body is a Temple of God, worry distracts the mind and is contrary to the nature of God.
Jesus teaches us to cast, place or throw, worry, anxiety, troubles and cares of the World upon God, by Seeking First His Righteousness, also. Supreme Justice, Equity and Holiness, and the Judge over all things for reckoning.
Biblical Principles: Seek God in Everything. God is our Provider.

Transforming Perspectives : Conversation about how important we are to God and to others in this life.
God speaks to us and shows us how precious we are to him. So much, he inspired a psalmist to share with us that God knew us before we were formed in our mother’s womb.
More so, he knows us so personally that he number (accounted, recognized) each hair on our heads before being visible, planned and orchestrated our lives for the good.
Even more so, he loves us so much sending his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for us.
Accepting Him will reconcile us to a relationship with God and enable us to accomplish what he has predestined for our lives.
