The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 221

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1-2) 42 Now, “transforming.” I used to work for a Public Service Company, where we had transformers, and to transform. Now the word is, the word means, in itself, something like…To transform, means “something that’s been changed, something that’s changed from one thing to another.” 43 And as I want to speak, for the next forty-five minutes or an hour, on—on the transforming, I would like to—to use this text. And I—I may say some things, in here, that seems very strange. And as Brother Leo has just said, “Take It and just study over It, a little while.” See, just think of It for a little bit. 44 To be transformed is to be “changed and made something different.” 45 Like a—a tadpole, it’s transformed from a tadpole to a frog. See, once, he looked like a catfish, he swims around, he’s—he’s got a head and his tail, and everything looks just like a—a catfish. Then, after a while, he begins to lose, he loses the tail, and he’s—he’s transformed from one specie to another. 46 I think that’s what Paul must have had in mind, when he said, “Be ye transformed by the—by the renewing.” Let’s see, let me get that right. “And be not conformed,” you know what conformed is. …be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,… 47 “Renewing of your mind.” The things that you once thought upon, to be precious, lay that aside and be transformed to something else; what you was one time, to what you are now. See? …by the renewing of your mind, that you might prove…that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 48 Oh, that’s what we all want to know, how to do it. See? We are here, we love Him; He saved us, now we want to know what to do. And were trying to take a little step this morning, to raise up just a little bit higher. Sometimes we have to hit things that…You just hold on for a few…till we see what it comes out to be. 65-1031M - "Power Of Transformation" Rev.
