Transformation is Voluntary

John 2: 23-25, 23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

Our Lord is a Gentleman...He will Never make you and I do something we do not want to do. He will never force Himself upon us...we Must seek Him out and come to Him if we are to be truly transformed. This will take a life that is tired of sin, and is ready to fully embrace what God wants to deposit within us.

So many times, people place limitations and restrictions on our Lord while looking for His freedom...not realizing that Total Surrender is all that is necessary for the Transformation to begin.

Philippians 1: 6 - 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

Once the Lord is allowed total access to your life - the Transformation can truly begin and end...somewhere, you and I must allow Jesus to win! He must win over our will and desires in order for us to truly be changed by His Love and Grace. All of the power of God in the world means nothing to you without your cooperation!

He can really transform your life...will you let Him?
