everything changes…. no more voices saying: “if you really loved Jesus then you would stop doing this…. and start doing that… put this off... and put this on“… no more… ever again…
He bestows on me the crown of His beauty… He pours His oil of joy all over me…. He puts His garment of praise on me… and that foul spirit of despair just leaves… never to return. It is not something that Philip has to do… it is something that Jesus does in Philip …. and suddenly Philip finds that everything has changed... he wears that garment of praise all day long… he is just thanking and praising God for each thing… all day long.
Worship is my lifestyle… not something Philip does… not singing and dancing, shouting and jumping around… like he did years ago at “meetings”… it is a garment that the Lord put on Philip… When I give myself to Him… He clothes me with Himself. I think this is a scripture that has been too often missed.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship.”
Think on these things….

a voice that says “IF you loved Jesus then you would……” can shut up. But Jesus Himself can say SINCE you love me, this is what MY changing of you will look like ……
maybe even… “because I love you so much KennyB… I am going to change you into my own image…”… always good to hear from you young fella,,, 🙂
Thanks ! That sounds too good to be true–but it IS true ! “And we all… are being transformed into his image ” from 2 Cor 3:18.
yup… 🙂 no matter how long it takes Kenny… 🙂
