| Old Testament Scripture Reading: Isaiah 64:6 -8 (KJV) |
|
| Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Isa 64:7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. Isa 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. |

| Transforming Power Statements: 1) It is obvious that in all of human history, that all mankind has ever done has been way short of perfection, even when man has done his very best, and that the need of Grace has of necessity been the only way possible that any man could ever have been saved from Adam until this very second in that God is absolutely HOLY HOLY HOLY!! And man is NOT!! 2) Regardless of what things have happened to you in this life, no matter how you were treated by anyone, no matter what you even think of yourself as the result of the way things have fallen out for you, nor how you may perceive your own self within, God has sent Jesus Christ, His Son and has ordained that by His death and suffering on the cross of Calvary, regardless of these and any other conditions affecting your state, to give you perfect status in His sight by grace alone, because of His great love for His Son Jesus Christ 3) Because the ones believing in Christ Jesus are in Him Who is the “Beloved ONE” all fear and anxiety should be gone, and there should be an abiding peace radiating from the inner being caused by the indwelling Holy Spirit, Whom God has given to you freely to lead and guide you to all truth, comfort you in every situation, provide conviction and correction from every entanglement and vestige of sin, as you study His Word and are transformed from glory to glory according to His leading. |
