Transforming Power Statements:

1) From the very beginning as God created the heavens and the earth, the Scriptures tell us that there was “Darkness” upon the face of the deep; after which the Spirit of God moved / hovered gently upon the surface of the void thus forming this planet which is Earth into a system suitable to be the background for all the coming affairs of the pinnacle of the creation of God: Man made in His Image, just as He spoke and said “Let there be light!” and there was light.

2) When you are “Saved” you become a walking miracle! because God is working everything, good, bad, or even ugly, for your good, and there is nothing that can prevent His purpose for your life; not the devil, nor the world, not even your own flesh can stop the actions of grace that God has determined to be upon your life! If God Be for us, who can be against us!? Lo He is with us alway, even till the end of the world; He will never leave us nor forsake us! etc.

3) The entire Biblical record shows us that the saved are always going on through every aversive situation and that God has selected them specifically for “their purpose” and that they shall always do what they are intended for because Great is their God and His ultimate will can never be hindered, therefore plan in this coming Christmas Season and on into the coming New Year to walk fearlessly in hot pursuit of the very closest walk with Jesus that you can possibly have knowing that God His Father will carry you through every trial successfully! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
