Transformation

You can get to a place where you will be so supple, so pliable in my hands, that it will be easy for you to hear me and immediately turn and do what I am telling you. 


As you continue to spend time with me and walk with me, your attitudes of grumbling and negativity will be revealed. The picture of the transformation that is being worked out in your soul is the picture of my wandering children of Israel who were led by me in the desert and grumbled and protested every time they ran into difficulty. Compare this with their children, who were strangers to the Egyptian gods their parents knew of. They knew no other god but Me. There was no idolatry in the children, because they didn’t know what idolatry was. 


Idolatry will become so foreign to you that you won’t even have to consider it. The children of the desert wanderers were able to cross into the Promised Land because they knew how to follow me by listening to my voice through their new leader, Joshua. Their hearts were so pure within them, as a people, that when they detected a possible sign of rebellion, they immediately confronted it and resolved it. Notice they did it in a peaceful way. You need to be peaceful and kind to yourself when you detect a problem, instead of running in and attacking. Even in that, come to me, and I will tell you how to have peace in your soul. I will give you my peace.
