The Live Transformed Podcast

Obeying the law never made anyone righteous. The law was given to show what love looks like and shows us how to relate to people. When I know righteousness and feel righteous, I have the gift of authority and can renew my mind and write His truth on my heart. Once I believe I am righteous in my heart, I experience harmony, peace and joy!

Would you rather have pain, or fall in love with righteousness? There is pleasure ahead for us as we adjust our ways to his ways. This is when life becomes simple, for God has given us things for our enjoyment. Attempting to enjoy life for the “Outside pleasure” brings external counterfeits, but in reality, we live from the inside out, and God gave us the power and grace to be strongly connected to Him.

If your walk with God is burdensome, then you are trying to become something or force something that isn't being asked of us. To yield and harmonize with the Holy Spirit is to know the secret to effortless victory. As believers, righteousness is our normal…if we ever feel uncomfortable, it means we are violating our true nature to harmonize with Jesus, the exact representation of God.

The first step to Kingdom living is having a flexible teachable attitude! It's God's intention to keep us in the perfect life, and this is told from the beginning as we see the harmony in creation. Man has the authority to choose. Being multi-dimensional in our thinking brings us into the depth of understanding which is the precursor to wisdom.

Miracles are when we use a higher set of laws that we can't explain scientifically. Faith is when we conceive in our heart, and speak with intention and it comes into being. We try to limit God to fit into our finite mind because we can't control that which we can't conceive. We are his workmanship created to influence others.

You will either be a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. Righteousness is the pathway to life. Mercy, compassion, and love don't excuse sin. Since the garden, man has the desire to define right and wrong independently of God. The pathway to a fulfilling and rewarding life is about being in harmony with God's intention.

God's power and love are working both in us and through us, and like the rungs of a ladder, these work in tandem, resulting in transformation. There's a difference between our function and gifting, and recognizing our uniqueness unfolds into the story of our purpose on this earth.

There's only light, therefore no darkness in God! Darkness comes through trying to explain the word of God through our five senses using our intellect. This is when it feels like we are doing the right thing and getting nowhere. Let's get on the path where we are stable and a help to others.

The more pure your heart is, the more you will see and perceive in this life! Jesus defends God according to His names and embodies those names. If we start our prayer, “If you're willing” you're saying “I don't know you…I don't trust you.” Instead, we know God's will and we think like God, Love like God and we are confident in Him so we can pray, “I know your will” and start praying with what we know to be true.

Light is clear succinct perception. We don't want to live a life that is “less than”, for then we become susceptible to corruption. Everything that isn't in faith is missing out on God's best for our lives. If I make any decision not based on something absolute, then I'm not in certainty. If we are in darkness, we aren't in fellowship with God and aren't experiencing abundant life.

You will never be stable until you function effectively in the way of righteousness. The path of the righteous is a way of life that affects every single day, and the way you live. It begins in your heart and permeates every part of your life. Your quality of life is affected by your willingness to be obedient and live from your heart.

Every reaction we have within life's journey reveals our character. At our core, if our heart is not established in the covenant of peace we will always be trying to justify ourselves before God. If we don't love what He loves, love others and love and value ourselves, we will keep doing what hurts us.

Faith isn't about being sincere or getting anything, rather it starts with hearing what God is saying. A man wasn't made for righteousness, but righteousness is made for man. When we add righteousness to every equation we bring it to life! Love with righteousness…prosperity with righteousness…kindness with righteousness, etc.

True fulfillment comes from loving others…not necessarily from being loved. Expressing love is our ultimate honor in this world. When you love someone, nothing is a burden. As the Spirit of God lives in us, kindness, fairness, and honesty are natural byproducts. Understanding wisdom gets us to the place where we are mature and stable which results in harmony with others.

Everything we need to know about making life wonderful runs by God's laws. God needs to be predictable for him to feel safe! There are complimentary opposites. You can't have good without evil, you can't have light without darkness. In order for us to create with God, we have to have choices. Once we choose light, it keeps getting brighter and brighter.

The ultimate core of God's character is righteousness. Sharing good news is a form of meditation, and on the opposite spectrum, complaining is sowing into negativity. When you complain you give up authority and strengthen your ego. Your behavior and words reflect your beliefs.

Developing the capacity to enter the interchange of faith starts with righteousness. Many aren't interested in growing as a person, they just want to be spiritually entertained. All that your life becomes emerges out of your heart. The quality of your life will be in direct correlation to your alignment with righteousness, There is no substitution!

The World system is something that works in the world that is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus. Sanctification happens when we want to be transformed and set apart in every area of my life.

When we choose life, we are teachable, and God reveals and shows you the process of transformation. This is when life gets easy! Being spiritually minded is not about getting something done, but rather being in harmony. It's our position and authority as people to harmonize heaven and earth.

Righteousness is functionality. We choose life when we harmonize our life with God and think like him, live like Him and treat people like him. We can't go beyond our own perception, so we need to be willing to see to expand our boundaries. It's not about being right, but about being willing.

If you think you know it all, you're immediately stuck. Interrupting a cycle of suffering involves using your authority and coming into agreement with God's path. Anything you don't surrender to the path of “living in the way” restricts you from the ability to maintain and sustain your inheritance.

We are called to a lifetime of transformation where we put off the old man, renew our mind, and put on the new man. As we touch on the significance of each feast in the Old Testament, we can follow the sequence of our heart work as we journey through life. Our false narrative about experiences gives credence to the “old man” but as we actively apply faith, we align our narrative to follow God's course and His standard.

People think change happens with information, but transformation happens when you see through God's eyes. Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is lifted. Any struggle or challenge is an invitation to repentance. The reason you are blind is that you are insisting that you already see. To move forward and get unstuck, you have to admit there is something you have never seen before. The truth is, you can't do it in your strength!

If you aren't experiencing every promise of God, you have the missing element of perception. Transformation happens as the veil is lifted from our hearts. When the veil is removed, we see God for who He is. Anything God does, He does through human beings. Jesus was 100% man and 100% God, and we can do what Jesus did. God speaks in mysteries, and as God lays it out, you only understand to the degree that your heart is open to understanding.

People have the capacity to increase their consciousness of God. Gratitude is one of the most empowering emotions. It's the opposite of entitlement! People of faith don't have to wait for circumstances to change. Gratitude is our responsive experience and the manifestation happens, This is what it means to take the limits of God!

This is truly your new beginning! Your old life is over, and this is your new day. Many times we struggle with applications to solve an issue if it's too simple. It's important not to “hear amiss” and search for God's opinion. Willingness to surrender our opinion is being teachable and repentant. Anyone stuck in their past, and continues to think about it, is because deep down they want to. True freedom from our past is our invitation to allow His love into our story!

Enjoying the inheritance of God's kingdom works best as we sort through the baggage that has riddled our past. We get to the point where we know what we need and what we don't need. People tend to feel as though their problem is unique, we all struggle with the same issues, and there is always a simple solution.

The moment you do anything for any outcome other than Jesus, you begin to manipulate a situation. When we do something to “make” God do something, we move into personal gain and selfish ambition. Jesus emptied himself and was born of the Spirit. We are called to do the same!

How can I have a heart that is willing to hear His voice? You are always getting and finding what you are looking for. If a relationship with God and knowing Him is your heart's desire, you will be quick and attentive to hear and respond to Him. As God pours life into you, you will naturally pour into others. Handling prophecy responsibly is when we read the word, meditate and have a willing heart. Hearing His voice with faith changes history.

Keeping our excitement and passion alive for Jesus coming back is important to the believer! Living a dull, boring religious life leads to obligation, which prohibits are preparation to see Him face to face.

When we repeat the same mistakes, it's a sign that we have unhealthy attachments. The disempowering belief is that we have to spend our lifetime overcoming the pain of our past. The truth is we get to live our life re-writing the beliefs from our past. Even though you have an excuse for why you keep repeating the same dysfunction, we are invited to move forward away from judgment.

Jesus is the exact interpretation of God. When we create God concepts with our own minds with subjective ideas, we form opinions that can be misleading. Every time I limit God, I diminish the capacity to build my inheritance, by my attitudes and judgments. The greatest hope we have is His Appearing. Jesus is coming back!

As soon as you assume why anything has happened, you have entered into judgment. In the garden, man chose to be their own God, and it turned into idolatry. We get seduced into judging thinking “they need to pay”. Judging others is always selfish. We “shape” idols in our minds by being in love with our opinions. There is hope because we can change the way we think!

Good or bad, there is a natural outcome for how you manage your life. A person doesn't hit bottom as long as someone is baking them out. If you take away the consequences, you are the problem. When we face consequences it gives us the opportunity to repent.

Those who are paranoid about legalism end up missing the rewards and inheritance of living the Kingdom life. You become what you behold! We can't enjoy personal freedom without personal responsibility. Will we put our security in our doctrine? If so, that is a substitute, for our true security is found in intimacy and experience with God.

Managing our inheritance does not work with the principles of the world. There are rewards for those who diligently seek him. You may not always get credit, but you will receive a reward. When we are faithful over small things, we will be the ruler over much.

We are invited to experience the end of suffering. We can live a natural life or follow the Holy Spirit. The inheritance is ours and is solidified as we practice appreciation. The opposite of gratitude is entitlement. There is a difference between salvation and inheritance. Moses smote the rock rather than speaking to it. By misrepresenting God, in his anger he lost his inheritance.

Are you carnal-minded or spiritually minded? When we fix our gaze towards God, we leave the past behind and set our direction. When we receive the spirit of adoption, we are positioned to be led as his child. And as children of God, we have an inheritance. As royalty, you are taught how to live with dignity and worth. Receiving your inheritance is connected to overcoming your flesh.

It was an eleven-day walk to the promised land, and the Israelites turned it into a 40-year journey. That's what happens when we blame God. If you honor your emotions above God's truth and his opinion, you can't be led by the Holy Spirit and receive your inheritance. The Holy Spirit is a person. It doesn't matter what you believe if you're not experiencing it. The Holy Spirit doesn't lead you just to give you formulas and make a journey, but to receive your inheritance!

We are the doers, and the Holy Spirit is our helper. The Holy Spirit works from our heart and offers life, charisma, care, grace, strength, and power. The purpose of Manifesting is to confirm God's truth and love. Jesus was ready to face temptation after his encounter with the Holy Spirit. This resolved his self-worth and established his identity. We are invited to recover sight every morning, of the true resource of the Holy Spirit

The most important task of the Holy Spirit is the role of our helper. Consciousness and being aware is where everything starts when it comes to receiving everything the Holy Spirit has for us. We have access to all of God's resources, and as we listen inward, we don't waste our time telling God what we need, or beg him for something he has already provided, we rather receive the practical application of wisdom for every problem.

Are you a natural thinker or a supernatural thinker? If you rely on the wisdom of this world and your carnal mind, you will feel stuck. No matter how great our imagination is, we still can't begin to see the wonder of God's possibilities of heaven on earth. Because of the Holy Spirit, all of God's resources are available right now. We just need wisdom to walk into them! Our full awareness and consciousness of the Holy Spirit connect us to the power of God.

Knowing rest is trusting the reality that God's resources are accessible at all times. The provision of peace and rest is available in the “eternal now”. You can't enter into rest if you are under any condemnation. Your ultimate connection to eternity is when you're in the sense of “no time” where there isn't a past or a future.

God clearly assures us to “fear not”. As we move towards our future, our inheritance through Jesus is to feel His security and remember his name, “Jehovah Jireh”. This very name describes our God who SEES and provides. He sees your needs, goes before you, and provides in advance. As spiritual beings, we are invited to step out of time and commune with God beyond all time and space. Time isn't our master, but rather our gift as we are each given the gift of a lifetime.

What you communicate is not necessarily audible. Your intentions are being sent with your belief systems beyond any words you say. Every time your heart beats, it sends a signal conveying everything about you to any piece of equipment that picks up that signal - which is another person's heart. Your true intention is conveyed in how people feel about you.

We were designed to live in our inheritance of Kingdom Living. Most people aren't struggling with the question of whether they are saved or not saved, however if anyone isn't living in peace and rest, they haven't tapped into their rightful inheritance. Conquering fleshly desires and having strength of character mixed with faith results in victorious living.

The easiest life is when you are comfortable discovering where you are wrong and remaining teachable. The spirit of repentance is a willingness to give up your opinions. Jesus is the door to new life. No matter how dead you feel you've become when you experience the breath of God, you can come out of your “grave” and suddenly have life. Renewal is everywhere in scripture, and it's the process of what happens when God is present.

God has breathed His life into you! The kingdom of God is within you, so how do you access it? Everything external is a reflection of what's going on on the inside. People are deceived because of something they don't want to give up. Being too attached to anything or anyone in this world makes you susceptible to deception. Being tethered to your abilities rather than resting in God's favor will keep you in the “try hard” life.

The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". The size of the eye of the needle is all about the degree that you look to your own conscience to decide what you are qualified for. There is nothing left for God to do, we just have to decide what the goodness of God means for us. Harmonizing our character with the nature of Jesus is true righteousness and results in joining heaven and earth. Making a decision is an exercise of authority.

Fear of the unknown can morph into fear of being wrong, and hearing amiss is when we are not aligning our faith with God's written word. A lie that some believe is: when man sinned, he lost his authority. In truth, we didn't lose authority, we lost our identity. With every desire, we have the choice to go to God or go to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. With our feet standing firmly on the love of God, we can address areas of our life without fear and condemnation. We are free from the power of sin. One needs only to yield to the power of righteousness, and the struggle with sin will be over.

He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through experiential knowledge. If we believe Jesus is okay with us living in sin, we are not seeing Him as He is. The only thing that keeps us from seeing, is when we don't want to give up our sin. Identity is about character building and developing fruit. When we experience an infusion with God, suddenly understanding comes.
