With all the change going on in the world today, it’s time for Christians to make an impact in the earth. But to walk in the kind of world-changing power necessary to impact our communities, our nation and the world, we must allow the Holy Spirit to change us.

            What do we need to empower us to change? Sure, we need knowledge, but knowledge alone isn’t enough. We need the power of God that effects change. Take  Christian weight loss, for example. We all know how to lose weight: move more, eat less. But how many are actually doing it? To be truly free from the bondage of weight we have to allow the Holy Spirit to change and empower us to go higher—spirit, soul and body.

            Change is deep within the purpose of why God created us. The power to change is within His glory—His presence. A revelation of His glory, of His honor and of the power of His love is enough to change anything. That’s what we need if we are to change.

            We are from God. He created us in His image, so we come out of Him, just like natural children come out of their parents and are a combination of their DNA. When we wonder, How do I get God to help me change? We are forgetting that we were created out of Him. We were predestined before the earth was ever created to be like Him. His power is in us.

            When we hear things repeated over and over they can become so familiar to us that we miss the revelation. One thing we often hear is that we are God’s children and He is in us. But are we really getting it? When I look at my three children, I see in them a combination of my husband, John, and me. In one I see more of me, and in another I see more of John. They have our DNA—they’re from us.

              Next time I’ll share on how we can and should identify with God and His DNA.
