JESUS TRANSFORMSSample

He Changes the Course of Our Life. When Jesus transforms, He cleanses us from our sins. We have genuine regret for things we have done. We see that the tax collector, and the public opinion determined that Matthew was not worthy, but it is not the people who determine. You are worthy to come into God's presence, Jesus said Mercy I do not want sacrifice. He came to call sinners to repentance. If you really want to have a relationship with Jesus, He calls you. Nothing so bad that you have done that cannot be forgiven, as long as there is repentance. A delivery, like Matthew. Sometimes we feel unworthy to be called. We think, "but me and an encounter with Jesus. I don't deserve it," and it's true, but that's grace. Only Jesus transformed Matthew. There is no heart so hard for the Spirit of God and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Peter had an encounter with Jesus at work, it is the same with us. We can have that transformative moment at any time. Peter had his doubt, but Jesus had to transform his mind, and when Peter saw the miraculous catch, Peter's destiny was transformed. I can imagine Peter saying to himself, "if with Jesus we can naturally have so much fishing, spiritually I can't even imagine," and Peter left everything. Peter's gaze was no longer on Himself but on Jesus. If there is a life that was greatly transformed, it was Paul's, he had an encounter with Jesus when he was Saul. Not only was his life changed, but the nations, His name was changed. Through that change, he was able to reach the Gentiles, and his knowledge was changed. Everything he knew, he believed, was no more. He was a new creature, and hidden things were revealed. Saul had his encounter with Jesus in the least of places on his way to Damascus, his journey. The same is with us. It can be at any time because, for God, there is no limit, and we are not out of reach. He says that the light surrounded him; it was not light only in his face but his whole being. There was a physical reaction; he trembled. Our body reacts to the divine presence, but not only that, Saul bowed himself because his body reacted like that. It is no longer about the self but about Jesus. It says Saul heard a voice, and it is like that sometimes. We have to stop looking and just close our eyes and listen to his voice, and life changes completely.
