You've Changed...

Covenant with God has created space for your healing and your freedom. 1 Peter 2:24 NIV. The Holy Spirit has reshaped your beliefs to align with God’s Word. Your actions, and even your presence, have begun to look different than before. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV.

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 NIV.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV.

You’ve been accustomed to relationships that required constant agreement, and comfort and familiarity have made you long for others to understand the man or woman you’ve become. Amos 3:3 NIV. The Holy Spirit has brought revelation and instruction, and you've assumed that those around you will receive it with the same belief and enthusiasm. Psalm 85:8 AMP; Hebrews 3:15 NIV. This is rarely the case for those who continue to follow their flesh rather than their spirit. Galatians 5:16-17 NIV; Romans 8:6-8 NIV.

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? Amos 3:3 NIV.

I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the Lord will say, For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones—but let them not turn again to folly. Psalm 85:8 AMP.

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” Hebrews 3:15 NIV.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. Galatians 5:16-17 NIV.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8 NIV.

Separation has occurred because you've changed and this as a byproduct of your obedience to the Holy Spirit. Acts 5:32 NIV. While you feel uncomfortable, do not remain stuck in the emotions that follow—fear, loneliness, or sadness. Instead, fix your focus on God, and remain grounded in the freedom He has given you. Isaiah 26:3 AMP; Philippians 4:8 NIV; John 8:36 NIV.

We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him. Acts 5:32 NIV.

You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. Isaiah 26:3 AMP

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36 NIV.
