This is actually an interesting word. According to Google this word means, the alteration of something from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended. This is exactly what the devil tried to do with Gods plans. Gods original plan was for us to worship him and live for him. He wanted the devil to worship him too, but he wanted to change things and to be God. He wanted to alter Gods original plan for his creation. The crazy thing is that he is still doing that. Everyday he is looking for ways to alter your purpose. To alter your mind, heart and ways. He wants you to feel trapped the way he now is. Lately I’ve been reading the word deeper and God is constantly showing me how much he loves his people. In the word he shows how much grace, mercy, forgiveness and love he has for us. He gave so many people in the Bible chances to repent and follow him wholeheartedly. They would fail him so much and he would still try to get them back to his original design. What’s beautiful is that what he said he would do, he fulfilled. He sent Jesus to become flesh so that he can redeem us from our foolish ways. God is constantly making ways so that we can come back home to him. He sent his only son to die on the cross for us and than he left us the Holy Spirit to live with us forever. He did that so that we are constantly reminded that there is a way back to the Father. God uses Jesus and the Holy Spirit to do this. So that we can understand that there is no more separation between us. If want him we got him, we just have to genuinely follow him. Over the years the devil has perverted sex, marriage, dating, gender, identity, family, life in general, etc. He is constantly trying to separate us from the original design. He wants us to be selfish like he was in the beginning. You see that’s what sin does, it wants to bring people down, kill, steal and destroy. You want to know the secret to going back to the original design. It’s Romans 12:2, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God”. This means God wants us to alter the sinful thinking we had living in this sinful world to his original state of thinking. We do this by letting the Holy Spirit transform our life and mind DAILY. Remember you are dying to your flesh DAILY when you come to Jesus. You do this by reading the word that transforms and redirects us to the Fathers ways. Allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds daily also means God exposes what is not of him. He gives you the discernment to know the difference between the devils ways and his ways. He is taking the way you used to walk and giving you a new life. Now what are you going to do..? Will you conform to this worlds ways or will you allow God to transform your ways so that you can go back to Gods original design for your life?
