Grace Full Transformation

Grace Full Transformation reminds us that it takes time for transformation. To walk it out requires grace and a trust in the process (primarily in the One leading it). Just like the caterpillar has to be in the chrysalis for a time before being transformed into a butterfly, there is a time of rest and a giving of grace and trust that the transformation will occur, and that when it does the abundance of beauty and strength will fill the atmosphere with God’s glory.

A Prophetic Nugget from Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Ministries is connected to this. It’s called “Bringing Forth Abundant Life.”

Romans 12:2 (VOICE) Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.

Beloved, feel My breath of life speaking over you – changing you, bringing radical transformation as you blossom and flourish. How dramatic a change is seen between a flowering tree in autumn versus spring. 

In the same way, beloved, don’t concern yourself with the areas that may seem dry and barren now because as you continue to maintain steadfast focus on Me and My Spirit, I will bring forth abundant life. 

A Meditation of the Word called “Recreated By His Word” from Elisa Eaton of Waiting in the Wings is connected to this.

Psalm 33:6, 9 (NKJV) By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. … For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

To read the first chapter of the book of Genesis, I never cease to be in awe of how God brought about creation through the breath of His mouth. What He spoke came forth into existence just as He envisioned. And what began in chaos and void, was shaped and filled into a thing of beauty. Creation is God’s canvas and the very the manifestation of His thoughts. But have you ever considered how creation is still responding to God’s words? Even more, have you ever considered how you and I are being created—or recreated—by the words that God speaks?

When we come to the Lord and we receive His Spirit, He is very intentional about speaking forth our identity and calling as we walk along His path. Although words of affirmation are vital to the human heart, this isn’t just to make us feel better about ourselves. God is doing what He did at the first—He is in full creative mode. Our Creator continually releases personal and prophetic promises to us, a vision of the promised land destination that will be on the other side of our wilderness journeys. His Spirit blows upon us with words of life, and those words shape us according to the Creator’s pattern and will. He speaks, and we, the created, respond. What began as “chaos and void” at salvation is steadily reshaped and filled into a thing of beauty in Christ.

This is why it is so important for us to hold fast to the personal words that God speaks to us. While the end result will always look different than how we envision it to be, we can be confident that the work God begins in us will be completed to perfection. Therefore, it is crucial to release the final outcome and design into His hands, and let His Spirit move us along our destination in Christ. For we are the clay, and God is the potter. What He says is done, and what He commands will stand fast in our lives. 

Philippians 1:6 (VOICE) I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world.

Another Prophetic Nugget from Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Ministries is connected to this. It’s called “More Like Me.”

Romans 12:2 (TPT) …be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.

Beloved, surrender your thoughts to Mine. Trust My perspective and trust Me to bring truth, for I AM truth. Allow My Holy Spirit to align your thoughts to Mine – make My views and beliefs your own, for Mine are rooted in truth. For I see and I understand. 

Resist the urge to allow your personal experiences to cloud your understanding of truth. Often the words and actions of those around you reflect a perspective based in falsehood. Simply because it is reflected does not make it true. 

So look to Me to bring truth and clarity, and then believe what I tell you. When I say you are beautiful and loved and precious, those things are fact regardless of whether others have reflected those truths to you accurately. So fix your gaze on Me, and allow Me to transform your mind by helping you be more like Me. 

A Word called “I Never Forget ” from Elisa Eaton of Waiting in the Wings is connected to this.

Isaiah 49:15 (NKJV) “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.

I have not forgotten what I have spoken over you, beloved. When I make a promise, I keep it. When I make a plan for your life, I am faithful to see it through to completion. My words are Spirit and they are life, and they never return to Me void. Therefore, trust in Me to fulfill the promises I have spoken. Resist the urge to doubt or think that I have lost sight of the plan for your life. 

As the created, you go through many changes, yet I, your Creator, change not. It is impossible for Me to get distracted or thrown off course. I am never surprised by what happens in your life. In fact, everything that happens is within My sovereignty and meant to drive you straight into My will. Therefore, as you yield to My transformation process, resist the urge to lose sight of My promises and plan for your life. Cast off the discouragement and fear that seek to cloud your vision. Instead, hold hope close to your heart and hold fast to My love for you. 

For behold, you stand upon the threshold of a new day and a new beginning. My life within you is ready to emerge. Yes, in transformation your emotions and thoughts will swirl like the chaotic waters at Creation. Even so, I say extend grace to yourself in the process. For I Am YHVH Bore, the Lord your Creator, and well able to keep you even as I shape you according to My Word. What I have begun in you, I will complete. And I love you far too much to ever leave your side.

Philippians 1:6 (VOICE) I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world.

Steffany Gretzinger & Bobby Strand’s song called “Confident” is connected to this. The lyrics remind us that we can fully rely on God’s faithfulness to carry us through all we face. He is our Rock and our keeper, and always moving on our behalf in every circumstance. We can fully trust in His strength to bring us through a transformation process and into the manifestation of His purposes for us.

Another Prophetic Nugget from Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Ministries is connected to this. It’s called “Be Whole.”

3 John 1:2 (AMP) Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].

Beloved, be whole – in mind, in body, and in spirit. Seek Me and press in. Trust Me to be your all in all, for I AM the everlasting God – El Olam. I AM all you need – yesterday, today, forever. I AM ever with you. I walk beside you – in good times and bad, I never leave you or forsake you. For eternity, I AM. 

There is no part of you too broken for Me to restore. I have been with you, and have seen the wounds you were dealt. Surrender the care of them to Me, beloved, and I will bring new life. Nothing is beyond My reach. I delight to prosper you. I AM Olam Zerowa, the Everlasting Arms. Let Me hold you close and lavish you with My life-giving love. 

A final Prophetic Nugget from Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Ministries is connected to this. It’s called “YHVH Bore (the Lord your Creator).”

Genesis 1:2 (VOICE) At first the earth lacked shape and was totally empty, and a dark fog draped over the deep while God’s spirit-wind hovered over the surface of the empty waters. Then there was the voice of God.

Beloved, I AM YHVH Bore, the Lord your Creator, and I AM still speaking life today. Just as My Son called Lazarus from the tomb and He came forth, so I AM calling to the dry, wounded, and dead places in your heart and calling out, “Come forth, beloved. Come forth!”

Hear and respond to My voice. Be transformed into the fullness of all I have called you to be. Be as radically changed as the caterpillar to the butterfly, unrecognizable in your glorious metamorphosis. Allow all you are – all I have made you – to shine forth unhindered bringing glory to My name. 

As a rainbow was added to this piece, the Father was insistent that it be a double rainbow. He revealed a two-fold meaning for this symbol. First, God wants to bring you “double for your trouble” (Isaiah 61:7, Isaiah 54:8). Transformation can be difficult to walk through, especially in light of the disappointments and crushing blows of the past. However, God is saying that that trouble will be eclipsed by the double blessing and reward that He will bring for your endurance. Press on and let nothing intimidate you from embracing change.

Second, the Father says that as He fulfills one promise in your life, keep your heart open—for He will already have a new promise in store for you. Deuteronomy 8:3 tells us that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. By continually giving you promises, God is creatively speaking and breathing over your life, taking you from glory to glory.

Additionally, as this piece was created God was very specific about including Forget-Me-Nots. They represent the promise that He will see through to completion the good work He’s started in us (Philippians 1:6). He will not forget us nor forsake us. We can simply rest in His promises and trust in His Word. 

The name of the silk in this image is His Voice Thunders. The colors in it are sky blue representing saturated, baby blue representing seated with the Lord in heavenly places, storm representing whirlwind of God, plum representing promises of God, turquoise representing warfare, and blackberry representing double portion.

Thank you, Father, that you are so intimately involved our lives as we go through transformation. You are so faithful, gracious, and a tower of strength when we feel weak. As we emerge from the process, let Your will be done and may great glory be brought to Your name. Have Your way! Amen.
