The Art of Being A Better You!

Isn’t that our goal in life; to be a better you?  Don’t we try everyday to be better today than we were the day before?  If that isn’t the goal, shouldn’t it be?

As we enter into this year’s Resurrection season, it’s a great time to evaluate & take a look at what being connected to God is really bringing to your life.  Can you measure the positive change & progression in your daily life? Why be & promote Christianity if we don’t know its benefits to us?  What has it done for you lately, lol?

We’ve all heard & seen the story of Jesus’ Resurrection so you can google the details of His crucifixion to see how horrible that it was & the proof that it really did happen so I don’t want to get into that right now.  Once I got those details for myself I wondered how I could honor what Jesus did for me on Calvary in my own life.  I didn’t know another person who would have done that for me, let alone for the world! It really made me want to be a better person so Jesus could be as proud of me as I was of Him.

So, in order to honor Jesus, I needed to know Him a little bit better, because the stories I’d heard about Him in church sounded real nice but like most people, I needed to know if this is “real” or not.  And if it is real, what does it mean for me?  So I researched more about Jesus, I talked to God about Him a little more, asking a lot of questions.  As the answers I sought started coming to me, I had to test them for myself because they did not make sense to my natural mind.  So I put what I was learning & what God was telling me to the test – Romans 12:2 (amp) tests;  Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

As you can see from the scripture above, the world will try to shape everything about you but you can’t let it.  By the time you get to even learn that Romans 12:2 exists you’ll see that the world has a bit of a head start on you.  You’ve already been shaped by your experiences here on earth.  So you see the need to be re-shaped by God.  The scripture also tells us why we need this transformation.

Being A Better You!Let me tell you how I got started.  Every opinion I had accepted as my own, I now held up to God for Jesus’ review.  Then I simply let go of mine & replaced it with His; one by one, situation by situation, one life issue at a time.  It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because the roots of my opinions were much deeper that I thought they were & the process of replacing them even with God’s help was very painful at times because I had built my entire life on these opinions.  Everything I had built on these incorrect opinions had to be torn down so the foundations could be blown up.  Then with God’s help I had to relay the foundations & rebuild my life structures.  Of course this is the very short version because I in some areas this process took years but in other areas it didn’t take long at all.  It really depended on how deep the roots were & what they had wrapped themselves around.  You don’t what to tear up the good as you pull out the bad!  If you want more details about this process holla at me via our contact form.

I’m  not sure what motivates you, but I was committed to seeing if this process worked because I’m a Mom & I needed to be able to give my children the truth, not some religious church cult garbage!  The second reason I stayed on course is because most of it I really didn’t believe.  Remember I said earlier that it didn’t make sense to my natural mind so I started off just trying to prove God wrong.  I was so wrong that I still laugh about it til this day but God didn’t care what I used to get started He knew He was right even when I didn’t.  God was just glad I made it back to Him & He feels the same way about you too!

After 20+ years of working this process (yes, you will work it for the length of your earthly life) the results are really simple.  Like I said before, God was right & I was wrong, no surprise there right?  But what were the benefits?  The answer is also simple – submitting to this process returns us to the being God originally created us to be before we entered into our earth suits.  As we shed our carnal thinking & replace it with God’s thinking I got better & better.  The fruit of the spirit began to grow inside of me & I could use it at will as I walk through my life to completing my earthly assignments.

Being A Better You!OK, OK.  I hear you asking “how”?  Here’s the short version.  Satan is real too & there are many demonic factors that come into play once you enter this earth realm.  These demons have been assigned to take you out & keep you from completing your assignments.  Additional demons come into your life by your own personal sin.  God being well aware of all of this provided us with a way out – Romans 12:2.

Just saying you’re a Christian is not enough – it’s only the beginning.  You have to submit to the Romans 12:2 processing.  This processing brings liberation & freedom from every demon that has attached itself to you.  Liberation brings clarity & power & makes your assignment & purpose crystal clear like never before.  It also brings direction & resources to save your life first so you can save additional lives that you touch later.  Then you will make their lives better & better.

This process guarantees victory in everything you do.  This process makes you better & better, one situation & circumstance at a time.  I know you’re wondering how to get started so here’s how.  Start by just talking to God about how to start.  Set it up like any other appointment or meeting.  Check with God for the best time & day to start.  Put it on your calendar.  Come prepared by bringing a list of any questions you may have, a hard back book to take good detailed notes & a few good pens.  Sit down in a comfortable, quiet place & just start talking.  Make time to listen, stay focused (don’t allow distracting thoughts in), write down what He tells you to do.  Remember to ask God to help you complete all tasks He gives you.  That will surely make things easier.  Do not attempt to do this in your own strength; you will fail if you do.  God has already prepared people to help you but let God lead you to them.  You only want the help God sends.  If you have any electronic savvy, you can also record the conversations.  Mark my words you will be better & better!  Your life will be brighter & brighter!

Then every day, just do what God says for you to do, the way He tells you to do it, when He tells you to do it – all with His direction & help!

Soon you will be able to measure how much better you are inside & then you life will get better on the outside.  Even on bad days you will still be able to see how much better you & your life has become.  So I challenge you to get started today.  Keep in touch with me to let me know how it’s going for you.  I know your testimonies will be better & better!  Be determined to be a better you!
