following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet all open door church he's committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever you know mass required seattle open door church get into the homework for less than one so a guinness page three lesson one six edition transformation the bottom of the beige everybody there see it this is the holy spirit does not intend to improve us or make us better and d that we are power and control over our flesh get us in this the blood of jesus washes away sense in the cross we deems justifies and atones well as resurrection restores and gives new life right do we have to die daily for the old man to die do we have to take up the crops to see the old man destroy this a daily work of sanctification wh and you put jesus side us we're still rusty old car you can't make this body better there's no way to make a better you take away jesus you're just a rusty old car but you put jesus on the people see jesus instead of user trust your car how about that you can help others nothing to say mystics of here how about what others have made the same mistakes you can show them how to get out of that mess they made because you got out of that how about that there are some things you would not be able to offer if you hadn't gone through it gone through  i don't want to offer post things i don't like what it meant through because it was painful now list the next statement because of what we have been we're able to minister is that true because of what we lord if he does not and yet shudders transformation is not yet complete did you hear that if you're shuddering over your past if your past is still bringing tears to your eyes if your past is cause you have nightmares think guess what you have not been transformed is the says here listen the new creature in christ now treasures the old that you can look at does that mean i like all the mistakes i made in the past did i trace we all so i just love it that my father abused me i just love a bed i got dropped is that wouldn't say no that's not what is say but it's  i've been divorced do i am i excited about that i have a great testimony i've been divorced halleluiah know but can i treasure what i've learned from the divorce can i make  to see it while you do if you want to bury them past pretend it never happened because it people will label you because of your past you know why then that passes of no value to you but if you've been transformed you're not that person you were before isn't fun right this in this says the new creature in christ now trish the old if he does not and yet shudders transformation is not yet complete for the failures of the corruption of the old the goat of wisdom was formed and if you embrace that that what happens is you have a testimony for others transformation holds implicit that nothing in our lives is ever wasted if it felt like you wish to some things in your life but if i was to tell you if you're being transformed by god it's not a waste i lost this at last and it's not a waste if you understand transformation if you understand look i want to do in your life the grace of god is so complete that there is no and have been our allies without which we would be better off are these are the words this should be hard words but if you have the gospel tied to those words is a different thing this isn't the grace of god so  god planned to turn the world across the highest victory so he has turned every upset over singly defeated lives to glory praise god would have people live that way would have people live with the fact that they actually believe that my life cannot be a better off i have not got to what i've gone through and some is to say you don't know what i've gone through you don't know the damage that was done to me you don't know all what happened to me yet how can you say that do i know what happened to me good i know the damage me on like do i know my own failings the feelings of others how my experience pain from my bad decisions now what i like my like what do you think and of course i would like my like to been different but do i have a place of regret to the point that i'm living a life of regrets what i liked it been different where i'd like to ma if you came from a very abusive environment this take i'll tell a story true story i know a female that became a heroin addict discovered had a little bit of produces in the becoming a drug addict the she lived  abusive home and she would be tied up with a dog chain to a post outside and given a bowl of her food to eat out of the dog bowl good think that does damage i have a gentleman that i know them when he was about eight nine ten years old him a sister were kidnapped they were taken as prostitutes in  a he would be a male prostitute he would be thrown in the trunk of a car and driven around l a never know where he's going to take him out uses a male prostitute put back in the car and take him home all to mentally he grew up  got out of that got involved in drugs got a bug and drug dealing saw his girlfriend's brains blown out in front of them by a drug deal that meant bad do you think the damage to get the key was shit he didn't have those experiences they grow them  experiences but can't jesus heal you from those can he give you victory over those things can you have victories a point you can tell that story and it may still make you sad but you can tell that story and yet there's something in you that if you tell that story there is a joy to your heart because gut sets you free from that he delivers you from the pain of that that he's turned around and used this story that you're able to touch maybe thousands of people with your story to be able to say no matter what happens to you god can transform your mind but if you wear a badge i'm a victim how many lives could change by that i would argue that they do get changed in a negative manner and so these are hard words and but believe me you know at the get there today there's several lessons that we're going through but it's the did messages that there's hope that you can be delivered from the things of the past and you can be accidentally you know i have a lot for now years later after look for that scar when it first happened guess what it's very evident people you ask about the scar you know i tell them i got in a fight with somebody to try to be all be end those who live according to their simple nature have their mice said i'm the nape of what the nature of the cypress but those in the course of the spirit have there are mind set on what the spirit desires say on the question for  about the fact that we can overcome sin how about the fact that we as believers can live a holy life about force in those things philip is for eight a night is anybody half of the beans for eight and nine eight and nine this is my one of my favorite being in knowledge in the image of its creator so do you have to take off the old the put on the new how many are trying to keep the old to put on the new house at work how's it work to stay in of man but if you want to be a new man too can i tell you there's people you could run for president that's keeping the old and want to convince you there's  only will rebuild and what do you have to do when you get into the were you spent time in prayer to put on the new man titus three five he saved us through the who is spirit what is happening is we're changing day by day are we looking more like jesus are you is that the question i ask why am i if you want to be sanctified if you want to be transformed you have to be renewed there's no way around it says do not be come form to the pattern this rule do not like your life over the pattern of this rule which you like your life up to  the beginning ok what else what else is salvation transformation what about salvation is be made whole to be made whole what has to happen some dying has believe that nothing was wasted how many struggle with that concept time time what does it tell you that it takes time to get through that concept as god heals you what happens more and more you believe that he can make goodness of that waste my own good how many have at me is that true things that you've done that is wasted your body actually affect your take a look at this concept what healing past hurts are belarus to look at this whole work that we understand that transformation is something that you do not something that we do our job is just to cooperate with what you're doing yes we have to put the old man down yes we have to renew our my debt is our part but large god you will show us what old man needs to die you are we've built what they said it's nice to go away and lord if you will turn around and show us with new things need to take place and i pray father god we allowed you to transformers in such a way that no matter what has happened in the past no matter what we've done with others and done to us no matter even if we think that you are not unfair on just god that we know that over time that you can bring transformation here in our lives and then we can see those desert places as glorious gardens brothers defeat on and i pray father that we that we desire to be changed by in such a way that we can be used for your glory so that others can maybe not make the same mistakes as us and those who have that we can help them get out of that that path that they're on and that they can live victorious life and overcoming life and we think we can have a victorious life in christ jesus in jesus name are you struggling with move beyond the past are you having a hard time to forgive hurts who needs healing the prodigal son god's forgiveness face to
