INWARD TRANSFORMATION

          need to continue moving forward, yield to His Spirit,
          and obey and apply His Word. As we continue, we
          will see it working out in our lives.
              Don’t  wait  until  you  feel  He  has  wholly
          transformed you before you can do the good works
          He has preordained for you to do. You what you can
          now. Exercise the faith you have now. Expect it to
          grow as you use it. You will find His reforming power
          working through you in your life as you move forward
          in faith.
              “I  am  confident  of  this  very  thing,  that  He  who
          began a good work in you will perfect it until the day
          of Jesus Christ.”                                  Philippians 1:6

          DAY THIRTY-SIX:

             CONTINUE TO MIX FAITH INTO YOUR LIFE

              Earlier, we considered the twelve men who spied
          into  the  Promised  Land.  Only  two  gave  a  positive
          report.  By  refusing  to  agree  with  God  and  saying
          what He had said, the ten spies and the people they
          influenced  missed  out  big-time  with  God.  The  ten
          spies did not mix faith into their lives. It affected the
          rest of their lives. They were never to be the same.
          Consequently,  they  could  not  enter  into  what  God
          had for them. We must be cautious not to make the
          same mistake.
              When we affirm the faithful sayings of God, we mix
          faith  into  our  situation.  Our  faith  will  be  tested.
          Actions must follow our affirmations. We must keep
          saying and doing the right stuff, even if we are in the
          minority.
              As a believer, nothing in this world is greater than
          He Who is in you. Will you agree with that? Will act
          like it is true? If so, you are mixing faith into your
          present situation.
