APPARENT TRANSFORMATION.

he Word of God is powerful (Hebrews 4:12), and it transforms. When you hear

the Word, there must be a response from you and its that response which causes
the transformation. Therefore, every time you hear the Word there must be a
transformation in your life.
You must understand that every time you hear the Word, its an opportunity for you
to enter a new chapter or level with the Lord. Our relationship with God always moves
from one level of glory to another.
The Lord Jesus said, No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret
place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see
the
light (Luke 11:33). So you see, He wants to display you for all the world to see!
Therefore,
the transformation that takes place in you must be observable; it must be apparent to
all. You must know whether youre growing in the Word or not.
Its time for you to observe what God is doing in your life since you started listening
to Gods Word. There must be notable changes in your choice of words. You must be
able to observe the new things the Holy Spirit is doing in you. You must be able to
recognize that the Holy Spirit is stirring up a wave of greatness in you. You must be able
to observe that when people say there is a casting down, you only see yourself being
lifted up. You must observe that theres a greater excitement and willingness in you to
pray.
God is working in you through His Word. He is teaching you to recognize not only
His good or acceptable way but also His perfect way.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans
12:2).
