WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE REAL?
BEING REAL REQUIRES YOU TO BE TRUTHFUL WITH YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL CONDITION.
Truthful with yourself, You don't have to tell everyone what your problems are but you have to know that denying them won't make them go away.
Being real is having a relationship with the one who created you. It's realizing that you were an unworthy vessel that God has chosen to pour His mercy and His love into (His name is Jesus) It is realizing that there is nothing good in you but Jesus. It's stripping away everything that keeps the kingdom hidden. It's realizing that the fact that when Jesus said it is finished on the cross that means that He has made every provision for you to become the man or women He called you to be.
Despite your short comings. Despite what you may be suffering with today. Despite the bad habits you may have. Despite what someone said or done to you.
GOD WANTS TO REVEAL HIS GLORY IN YOU.
Romans 8:18-19 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
GOD WANTS TO REVEAL HIS GLORY IN US.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are BEING transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
NOTICE WE ARE BEING TRANSFORMED. GOD WANTS TO TAKE US FROM GLORY TO GLORY
I AM WHO I AM BECAUSE GOD CHANGED WHO I WAS
BUT I’M NOT WHO I WILL BE BECAUSE GOD IS CHANGING WHO I AM
THANK GOD!!!
BECAUSE MY DESIRE IS TO BE THE ME, THAT HE’S CALLED ME TO BE.
Romans 12:1-2 1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
IF WE WANT TO PROVE WHAT IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD WE MUST LET WHAT GOD HAS DONE BECOME MANIFEST IN US. LET GOD TRANSFORM US FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
1 Peter 3:3-4 Your adornment must not be merely external —braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
WE MUST STOP LOOKING AT OURSELVES THROUGH ANY OTHER EYES BESIDES GODS THAT INCLUDES OUR OWN EYES GOD HAS MADE US ACCEPTED. AND HE HAS BLESSED US WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING.
Ephesians 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
THAT MEANS THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE IT YOU KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ARE MISSING YOU ALREADY HAVE AND THAT'S FAITH.
1 John 3:2, 3 AMP Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [as God's children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He [really] is. And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).
IF WE WANT TO BE REAL WE JUST LAY IT ALL DOWN BEFORE THE KING AND BE ENCOURAGED THAT GOD WANTS TO REVEAL HIS GLORY IN US LITTLE BY LITTLE FROM FAITH TO FAITH AND FROM GLORY TO GLORY THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD REVEALED.
JUST BELIEVE!!
Luke 1:45
And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.”
