Be Transformed by God - Love Worth Finding - November 2

November 2, 2023 – Be Transformed by God
Romans 12:1-2
Sermon: 2247 Practicing the Presence of God, Part 2

Pray Over This

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2

Ponder This

Have you presented yourself to God? Most people have never done that. Most people say, “If I did that, no telling where I’d end up. I’d be a missionary over in a place of poverty.” But it’s time to present yourself to Him. Sign the contract, hand it to Him, and tell Him to fill it in. Don’t be afraid. Because when you present yourself to Him, you’re transformed. “Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed.” The word transform is the word from which we get our English word metamorphosis. You will have a divine metamorphosis.

What is a metamorphosis? Meta means “change,” morphose means “form.” It’s a change of form. For example, the caterpillar goes into the cocoon and comes out a butterfly. It has gone through metamorphosis. The inner nature of that caterpillar is a beautiful butterfly. What is the inner nature of a child of God? It’s God. It is glory. It is Jesus. Christ lives in you. When you present yourself to Him as a living sacrifice, there will be a metamorphosis and that which is on the inside will come to the surface.

• How difficult do you find it to present yourself fully to God?
• What has caused you to hold back from presenting yourself to God?

Practice This

Present yourself to God in prayer and bring to Him the things you have been holding back.
