Transformed

- Romans 12:1-2

As ‘born again’ people into the Kingdom of God, those ‘in Christ’ are a new creation… the old HAS gone and the new HAS come! So what stops us from living in this.

There are a few things such as pride and fear, but we don’t have space to address them all. BUT the overwhelming reason why is because we are still living in old patterns in our thinking. Paul said to the church in Rome “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”, and to the church in Corinth “We have mighty weapons to demolish strongholds… we take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ”.

This transformation is us coming into alignment with the Word of God and the mind of Christ… it is giving NO room anymore to a lie of the enemy, to fear, to unbelief, to past experiences and ungodly patterns. It IS, yielding to the Lord in all things and agreeing with the Word and the Spirit. As we do this, our perspective changes, our thoughts change, the way we live changes… we are changed… we are transformed.

The Lord wants to break into those cycles and patterns that have kept you imprisoned for years and be free to be who He has created you to be. We have to understand that the Kingdom of God operates by faith… Abraham believed God… he walked in faith and it was credited to him as righteousness. The Lord says “The righteous live by faith”. So say ‘yes’ to God, yield to Him and agree with Him… His Word, His ways and His truth! Worship Him, value His Presence, seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, get into the Word of God and be intentional about fellowshipping with like-minded believers… just see what happens.

As we start 2026, it’s time... to tie up loose ends, to allow the Spirit free reign in you and to align every part of you with the Lord.

God bless

Faithful in the Waiting

“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him.”
— Lamentations 3:25

Waiting is rarely comfortable. Whether we are waiting for healing, clarity, reconciliation, or simply strength to face another day, waiting can feel like standing still while life moves on around us. In these spaces, it is easy to wonder whether God is present or whether our prayers are being heard.

Scripture reminds us that waiting is not wasted time. Throughout the Bible, we see God working deeply in seasons of waiting — shaping character, strengthening trust, and drawing hearts closer to Him. Waiting does not mean God is absent; often, it is where His quiet work takes place.

For many people walking through recovery, grief, or personal struggle, the waiting can feel especially heavy. Yet God meets us there — not always with quick answers, but with steady presence. He is faithful even when progress feels slow and hope feels fragile.

If you find yourself in a season of waiting, be encouraged. God’s goodness is not measured by speed but by faithfulness. Continue to seek Him, even with small, honest prayers. Trust that He is at work in ways you may not yet see.

May you find peace in knowing that God is near, attentive, and faithful — even in the waiting.
