The language is changed
God has amazingly changed my personality, habits, and interests etc. My mouth used to be unclean. I was powerless to control my tongue. Bad words are forced to be out of my mouth because it was my nature. I did not even suspect that in this way I had been defiling my body,
It’s been over twenty five years since I forgot what curses are. Although I was bad at words, God’s rod changed me. I used to love to tell jokes, and make people laugh, but all my jokes are offensive languages. Ever since I was a child I remember making an oath, knowing that I would not keep it. This was my habit by habits. Once it happened that now I do not swear at all. On the contrary, I make comment to people when they swear.
As a minister of the church, I told one person jokes, containing bad words, after that I had to suffer from pain in my tongue. Before I was a fond of jokes, after painful experience my tongue began sorting out words. I have seen everyone but to no avail. Even the ointments that were bought in the pharmacy did not help. With the unbearable pain, I went into my secret room, where I loved spending time in prayer. I opened the bible, and it opened the passage in which is clearly and logically stated about our tongue This is what I like to do to prepare my heart before holy God. Don’t take a genius to work it out, does it? it. James Chapter 3.it is about our tongue. After reading the passage I found out the reason why I had pain in my tongue. I got goose bumps all over my body which made me repent with the tears for my tongue being full of filthy mass. Then God touched me in such a way that my heart was filled with peace, the flame of love flared up. Then I again became convinced that the Bible, though it was written by people, it is the word of God.
The content of the Bible is the reflection of our lives. God will never allow His children to dishonor Him with their unworthy behavior. Therefore, interfering in our lives, changes us into a positive image, sometimes punishing us with a severe test. Whom God loves, He also punishes. He does this not to hurt us, but to make us stronger by faith. Honor and glory to Him – He deserves it! After this incident, my pain and wounds disappeared.
In order to prove this, God gave me the word: 1 Peter 4: 1. Be sure to recommend reading this verse. We are people that we do not want to admit that we are sinners; we are always looking for an excuse, relying on our righteousness. If we do not recognize as it is, we will never taste the goodness of God. In essence, we are by nature, all sinners, we ourselves will not be able to change our lives, and get rid of our bad habits, if God does not interfere in our life. However hard you try, you can not get rid of your bad habits, and negative things that are not useful. On the contrary, negative things ruin us and cause us to age faster than it should. I feel sorry for people who do not value their health, they ruin their lives. I am very surprised to see people get older because of bad lifestyle. Outwardly, they look old, when asked they are much younger. Keep your health when you have it, when you lose it, it will be difficult to keep it. Appreciate what you have now, otherwise you will regret for the rest of your live.
God continues to change people and their minds into what God wants them to be. I have many examples on this subject, not only about myself, but about other people. Even God still changes those people who have been behind bars. Having accepted Christ, they have not only been changed, but also bring great benefit to the needy.
Also God has changed me into an image that no one was able to recognize me. The pas is the past .Although many friends know me as a good person, I wasn’t as good as I should be. I clearly remember after the service the pastor of the Russian community church in Australia complimented me on my heart it’s like a sheep, and your preaching makes my faith jump. Although he made a good comment on me, I thought to myself if I deserve this comment. This is not of my deserving but of God’s. I remember standing next to him, and the tears come to my eyes, and I could not help but thank the Lord who transformed me and cleansed my filthy lips with the word of truth!
James 3 chap: The tongue is an embellishment of falsehood.
I remember describing already more in detail how God taught me a lesson with his word of truth by prickling my heart and cleansing my lips. Or else, I would not have been able to carry the word with my unclean lips to other people. When the Seraphim flew and spoke Holy, Holy, Holy, and the house was filled with incense.
What happens when a person feels the holiness of the Lord, he simply falls to his knees. No soul can leave untouched by God’s holiness.
As a result, the holiness of the Lord penetrated into my consciousness and every cell of the essence. Isaiah, who was the prophet, realized that he was a man with unclean lips. And I said: woe to me! I am lost!
For I am a man with unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
Isaiah 6: 5
God changed me completely, now only my appearance remains, but God changed my appearance, too for His glory! Even friends, seeing me, cannot recognize me; they say that I have become different. By doing this, they glorify God despite of themselves. …
And how much God had to work on me to shape and cleanse of dirt and lawlessness. This was not enough; he forced me to go through the crucible of pain and suffering to be used for his glory. He who suffers from the flesh stops sinning 1 Peter 4 ch: 1
In Jesus I became a completely different! In 2 Cor, it is said that our flesh perishes, but our souls are being renewed every day. This is the secret of Christianity. The Epistle to the Colossians says: For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When I began to be changed, even my friends were surprised at. I stopped getting involved in drinking company as usual, I was treated as abnormal.
Blessed are those whose hearts are pure.
A few days later I felt completely different. Finally, my conscience gained freedom! Wounds and pains disappeared, and there are no more struggles. God forgave my sins and made me the way He wanted to see me. When people asked me where you were going, at first I was ashamed to admit that I was going to church. Church in broad sense meant a strange place where aged people were concentrated. I did not want to be laughed at, so I just lied to them that I was going to a meeting. A few more weeks passed, I found that I became a completely different person, not what I was. Jesus, having secretly penetrated my heart, changed my unsightly heart into a heart of hope. Not only my heart has been changed, but also my outlook on life, and my values, interests and attitudes towards people have changed. The desire for alcohol and carnal pleasure disappeared. This is a real miracle that my life was transformed into the image that no one expected me to be. That’s the way I was meant to be when God had a plan for me.
