I love an intentional God. He carries out His will with deliberance. No that is not a misspelling. I just created a word. Call Webster! I say deliberance because what He does deliberately delivers us. He is all about His children. He allows us to fall on our faces in order for us to learn how to walk. He picks us up, shows us how to walk, repeatedly. Jesus went to the Cross with deliberance. I am so full right now its crazy. As I write this I feel the Holy Spirit wrapping His arms around my heart holding me so tight is almost hurts. God transforms with intention as well. God does not change but in order for us to continue to be more like Him we must.
Transfention. that is what we are to do as followers of Yahweh. If we pursue our God like He is our lifesaver (which He is) then we cannot help but transform with the intention to become more like our Father. Amen? I am a work in progress which I think we all are if we are honest. I used to be this close-minded person keeping God is a box shut so tight it hurt. It hurt because I realized that I was dictating what I thought God should do in MY life. When all the time I should allow Him to do what He wishes because the life I have is not mine but His because He gave it to me and I gave it back. Therefore, its not my life to dictate. Its the same way with the church. My church is going through a very scary/exciting time right now. I'm not sure of any other way to describe it. We are truly becoming what the church is supposed to be like illustrated for us in the book of Acts 2 & 15. It has not been a painless process but one that will bear the fruit of obedience when all is said and done this I pray.
Deliberance and Transfention two words that do not exist according to Webster, but should exist according to the Church. I cannot wait to see what will happen next. I know God has plans for us. But in order for us to truly see those plans we have to be willing to go through deliberance & transfention.
