![]() ![]() God is calling us to get into the game, but we must know the rules and how to win. Our joy for God and His grace to overcome a stronghold in our life is the best net to catch fish. We can thoroughly enjoy the difficult changes in our life when we do it for the love of God and to evangelize those around us through how we live. We need to know Him in our hearts, discern His voice, praise and thank Him always and everywhere in order to live peacefully and filled with joy here on earth. Our relationship with God is the first of the Two Greatest Commandments and any real transformation needs to come from Him. Another good reason is to save our own souls and do our best to help bring others to Jesus. If we honestly look at the house of the Holy Spirit and how we care for our mind and body in which He dwells, it’s easy to see this is a much deeper meaning and purpose. Will you live your identity as a Child of God? Will you take care of your mind, your body and hold your spiritual self upright against the winds of these times? Will you live your meaning and purpose to know, love and serve God in this life and the next? How will you treat these gifts God has given you? You have also been given a mind and a body, paid for at a great price by Jesus and His Passion. You are called to be different – be a disciple and make disciples. You have been given the gift of faith from God. For example, if you want to lose 20 pounds for that big event or have some visible change for people to praise you or to fit in with those around you – that is not a meaningful reason. Who are we, or who do we want to be? If our reason is shallow and driven by superficial cultural norms, then we are already starting off with little meaning and purpose. Our ‘why’ or reason to change should be linked to our identity. Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible'(Matt. Let’s take a look at the Soul, Mind and Body approach for the permanent transformation we all seek. All too often we focus on the mind to change the body and we forget about Our Father, who created us, and His Will and ultimate power in our life. The absolute first thing is to bring God into your life. Did you have a holy Lent, filled with temperance and self-control, only to fall back into your old subconscious programs and habits the minute Easter arrived? Perhaps you have tried for decades to change your behavior, only to compound the feelings of self-hatred and shame as you fell off the wagon for the umpteenth time? If you have tried the mind-over matter-approach over and overtime to try the Soul, Mind and Body approach for true transformation with God. ![]()
