transformation
it's got to be a transformation and not just a transition. when you transition-- you move from one place to another, just changing the vehicle in which you arrive. in the middle of the word is the key-- you SIT. to be transformed.. means that you are changing the purpose of it. like our TRANSFORMED scripture in the Word of God... saying
Romans 12:1-2 Living Sacrifices
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
We as men of God, must take this to heart. all throughout the Word of God we see how God looks at things created and maintained by human hands. it's already got its glory. but what if... what if God wants to completely do your transformation. COMPLETELY. fully functional male without ever having to go to man to make you a man. would you do it? if not, why not?
Let me tell you brothers, I am trusting God that He's going to do the work. The trans community has definitely suffered from not feeling a part of the church, but also by some feeling like they are a mistake and feeling like you're a different gender is wrong. I'm here to tell you, YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE.
John 9
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
In the same way like this man who was born a certain way... i feel like this is a word for the transgender community saying, "Hold on, I've got a plan. You weren't born this way by mistake. I created and crafted you. I'm holding you in my hands! Just wait! I've got a better way!"
So how do you start? Well, first I would definitely say it starts with asking Jesus to be Lord of your life. Without Him, it would literally be impossible to start this journey, because He is the one who's leading you in it... and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our example in the transgender community. we need to reach out to one another and pull in the ones who are feeling saddened that they are made a mistake, let them know they're not!
Jesus sticks closer than a brother... there's a sense of excitement when you let Jesus be head of your transformation... not transition.. but transformation. It starts with the renewing of your mind. He wants to make you a man from the inside out. And like a lot of things with God.. it starts in the shadows.. in the hidden places before it will come to the light. Ask Him to be head of your transformation and watch things begin to happen supernaturally.
Join this revolution, brother. It's headed up by the most radical man that ever walked this earth: Jesus.
