Transformed Moms: IN ME

It is GOD who BLESSES and TRANSFORMS...

This is a blog for women (not just moms) who:

(1) Desire to be transformed by JESUS' LOVE, HOLINESS, AND GRACE;

(2) Believe that GOD'S WORD is the true Spirit food for HIS HOLY SPIRIT who lives within us;

(3) Submit to GOD and walk this journey of life with HIM transforming us more and more into HIS likeness.

It's a blog about the POWER OF TRANSFORMED LIVES. Let's begin with yours and mine and pass it on... 1 + 1 + 1...

Since GOD's HOLY SPIRIT lives inside a christian, let's choose to be nurtured and transformed by feasting daily on HOLY SPIRIT food - GOD's WORD - The Holy Bible..

My regular posts stopped in 2013, with a major move and the chronic illness and eventual death of our oldest daughter. Yes, we grieve daily, yet I am determined to continue to let the LIGHT of my LORD and SAVIOR shine through me. I have tried to start posting again, over the last few years, but have not been consistent. So, I think the biggest blessing for you and me both will be to intersperse some new posts while revisiting some of the former posts. Let's begin with "Oh, the JOY!" as we head into living through Fall 2019; meeting back here 1-2 days a week.

If you need daily encouragement, you will find plenty by clicky on past posts. When reading earlier posts, you will see that I often posted daily, following this format: ...Sunday in the SON, Meditation Monday, GratiTuesday, Women in the WORD Wednesday, Transforming Thursday, Family Fellowship Friday, Ketchup & Mustard Saturday.

There's a whole lot here! Take your time to browse.

Please come back and visit each week. Welcome!

Because of JESUS, we can be family,

Patti

IN ME

SUNDAY IN THE SON

When you become a christian,

God's Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you.

You want to know more..

You want to learn from Him...

to please Him and be led by Him...

Our scripture theme this week continues

with the third "Be-attitude" focus

and adds the fourth "Be-Attitude":

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit...

2. Blessed are they that mourn...

3. Blessed are the meek...

4. Blessed are those who

hunger and thirst for righteousness...

This week's theme song by Casting Crowns is IN ME. I have the words below and then two videos. Some of you may not like the way they do the words on the first video so I added the second video which is great except it has a few blurry pics. If you are a member of the Pitman church, I think you will be amazed at how today's sermon goes right along with what we have been studying.

"In Me"
.
1.
If you ask me to leap,
Out of my boat on the crashing waves…
If You ask me to go,
Preach to the lost world that Jesus saves…
I'll go, but I cannot go alone!
Cause I know I'm nothing on my own!
But the power of Christ in me…
makes me strong…
makes me strong!

.

CHORUS:
Cause when I'm weak,
You make me strong!
When I'm blind,
You shine Your light on me!
Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability.
How refreshing to know You don't need me.
How amazing to find that you want me!
So I'll stand on Your truth,
and I'll fight with Your strength
Until You bring the victory,
by the power of Christ in me.

.
2.
If You ask me to run,
And carry Your light into foreign land…
If You ask me to fight,
Deliver Your people from Satan's hand…
I'll go, but I cannot go alone!
Cause I know I'm nothing on my own!
But the power of Christ in me…
makes me strong…
makes me strong!

.

CHORUS:
Cause when I'm weak,
You make me strong
When I'm blind,
You shine Your light on me!
Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability.
How refreshing to know You don't need me.
How amazing to find that You want me!
So I'll stand on Your truth,
and I'll fight with Your strength
Until You bring the victory,
by the power of Christ in me.

.
3.
To reach out with Your hands
To learn through Your eyes
To love with the love of a Savior
To feel with Your heart
And to think with Your mind
I'd give my last breath for Your glory!
.

CHORUS:
…When I'm weak,
You make me strong
When I'm blind,
You shine Your light on me!
Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability.

.

CHORUS:
…When I'm weak,
You make me strong
When I'm blind,
You shine Your light on me!
Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability.
.
4.
How refreshing to know You don't need me!
How amazing to find that you want me!
So I'll stand on Your truth,
and I'll fight with Your strength
Until You bring the victory,
by the power of Christ in me…
the power of Christ in me…
the power of Christ in me.

A Little History of this Blog:

A group of moms in Pitman, New Jersey began meeting every Tuesday morning in June 2008 to learn how to be Master-Full Moms. Although that class only lasted that summer, we have continued to have other classes for moms offered at the Pitman church of Christ. This blog will remain like an ongoing class. So, come back each day and join us as we discuss being God's women as we encourage transformation in each other.
.
3 POINTERS TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:

2. WHAT DOES A MOM DO WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN HER?

… those who live in accordance with the SPIRIT have their minds set on what the SPIRIT desires …life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to GOD. It does not submit to GOD’S law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please GOD. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the SPIRIT, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you…Therefore, sisters, we have an obligation… by the SPIRIT you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live… Romans 8:5-13

6. MOM, DAUGHTER OF GOD, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWER TO LIVE AND NOT LOSE HEART?

For GOD, WHO said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made HIS light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of CHRIST.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from GOD and not from us.

We are:

· hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

· perplexed, but not in despair

· persecuted, but not abandoned

· struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12
