Not a makeover, but a takeover!

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
(Ezekiel 36:26-27)

God is not after a re-do or a re-take. He does not in the remodeling business. He is not asking us to accomodate His desires for us.

God is asking for a chance to give each of us brand new life. God wants to replace the old ways we do things . . . how we think . . . how we love . . . how we breathe!

Not a makeover, but a takeover!

God seeks a spirit that wants His will. He desires total transformation. It is not about band-aids and ointments, but internal resetting of the bones and heartbeat. It is not an instant Christian-in-a-cup . The process is often long, grinding and painful. But take it from a hard-headed, but eventually I got it now disciple . . . it is worth it!

Stop fighting the call of God upon your life. Allow Him free course and experience God to the fullest!
