Proto-Prayer Transformer

Prayer is the primary priority. When we pray we connect with God then we have access and are able to “download” infinite information. When connected we can be directed. We also receive “the supply of the Spirit” and tremendous power which enables us to be a blessing and walk in His will. If we don’t recharge we’ll get run down and weak. But we can stay constantly connected by fixing our awareness on Him.

The world is trying to conform us to its mold while God is working to transform us to His ways. As we pray and spend time in God’s presence and meditate on His Word we are transformed and then we become transformers. This is what Jesus did and how He taught us to live. Pray, be transformed and then take the power to the people!

Mark 9:2-4

Mark 9:2-4
2 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone. As the men watched, Jesus' appearance was transformed, 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, far whiter than any earthly bleach could ever make them.

This Greek word “metamorphoo” is only used four times in the New Testament (Mt 17:2, Mk 9:2, Rom 12:2, 2 Cor 3:18) and is translated TRANSFIGURED, TRANSFORMED and CHANGED. You could say that when we pray we experience metamorphosis and are empowered to be what God wants us to be. And if we skip the process we just go out and look and act like slimy worms. When Jesus spent time with God “on the mountain” He glowed, When Moses spent time with God “on the mountain” he came back glowing. So if you want to grow and help others know then you gotta pray and glow before you go.

18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
