Good Evening, saints!
I know you have seen or heard about the makeover shows on t.v. One for instance that come to mine is "Extreme Makeover". This show is about people having work done to their outer body (i.e., eye lift, chin work, ears, mouth, stomach tuck, so on and so forth...). But I wonder if they have stopped to think about an extreme makeover of the inner body?
Spiritual Makeover List:
The Mind:
Duet. 11:18-Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Phil. 2:5-Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
II Timothy 1:7-For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Roman 12:2-And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
The Mouth:
Eccles. 5:2-Do not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore, let your words be few. Luke 21:15-For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.
The Heart:
Proverbs 3:5- Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. Psalm 111:1-I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
The Eyes:
Psalm 119:18-Open my eyes that I may see wonderous things from your law.
John 9:15-"He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see."
The Ears:
Proverbs 19:20-Listen to counsel an receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
Revelation 2:7-He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church. To him who overcomes, I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.
The main thing on the list that needs a spiritual makeover is the mind and heart. Everyday, we need to renew the mind and the heart. Jesus does not look at the outer person, he looks at the heart (that's why I love him so much). Take a look in the Book of I Samuel 16:7-But the Lord said to Samuel, " Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." The world looks at out outward appearance. That's why you have people so quick to have a "makeover" if they feel their eyes are too big, or if their ears are too big, or if their mouth is too small. They are letting man tell them how they should look. But, Oh, my God! The Lord looks at the heart. I am living to please God, not man. I must say that I do want a spiritual makeover, starting with my heart and my mind, Amen! If you are interested in a spiritual makeover, please call:
