DAY 995 JULY 27TH…THE CROSS AND DISCIPLESHIP PT 2 – !
What is most needed today is transformation. It is defined as a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance. It is an extreme radical change. On a personal basis it is how we change aspects of who we are, what we do, and the life we lead. The born-again or salvation experience is what births transformation in an individual. This conversion or metamorphosis takes place in the mind, body, soul, and spirit. This revolutionary change is a turning around from what a person was to a new life that has been renewed. What Jesus accomplished on the Cross opened that door for all to be saved. In this transformation there is a process where we move from being a babe in Christ to one that is young and then mature. God’s word is a guide that helps us fine-tune every part of our being. It teaches us to focus our mind and shape our thinking. God cleans us up by taking our sins away from our life and making us a new creature in Christ. It is a daily process where He works with us to make us what we need to be for Him in this life. This is the process of becoming a disciple.
A question that might arise is can a society be transformed? The answer is yes! What we are experiencing today in our culture is the destruction of morality and freedom. Just as an individual is transformed and becomes a new creature in Christ it was most likely the result of someone praying. Individuals make up the whole of society. We have been talking about and hearing how a Great Awakening is upon us. Many are praying across our nation for this to manifest at this time. Here is an example of how prayer shifted history.
In 1982, pastor Christian Fuhrer began Monday prayer meetings at Leipzig’s St. Nicholas Church. For years, a handful gathered to ask God for peace amid global violence in the oppressive East German regime. Though communist authorities watched churches closely, they were unconcerned until attendance swelled and spilled over to mass meetings outside the church gates. October 9, 1989, 70,000 demonstrators met and peacefully protested. 6000 East German police stood ready to respond to any provocation. The crowd remained peaceful however, and historians consider this a watershed moment. A month later, the Berlin Wall fell. The massive transformation all started with the prayer meeting.
As we turn to God and begin relying on His wisdom and strength, things often begin to shift and reshape. Like Israel, when we cry out to the Lord in our trouble, we discover the God who alone is capable of profoundly transforming even our most dire predicaments and answering our most vexing questions (Psalm 107:28). God stills the storm to a whisper and turns the desert into pools of water. The One to whom we pray brings hope out of despair and beauty out of the ruin. But it’s God who in His timing not ours who enacts transformation. Prayer is how we participate in the transforming work He’s doing.
Stay the course and hold the line as we move forward in prayer and action. The transformation possibility that is before us is going to impact the whole world.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

“Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” (Psalm 37:7)
Remember the Jabez prayer of 1 Chronicles 4:10 – “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.”
