1. REDEMPTION
How do we walk through change?

6. Why does my flesh want to run
from change?
• Sometimes it hurts,
• It forces me out of my box, its uncomfortable
• I don’t feel like I am in control
• I fear the unknown
• I have been hurt through past change

7. What change are you facing right
now?
• Getting Married
• Having Children
• New Job
• Moving
• Spiritual Change/Growth

8. Keeping my eyes on the target
• Develop a fixed point of reference!
• 2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is
seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
• God never changes
• Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever.
• Gods word never changes
• Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words will never pass

9. Staying flexible!
• Gideon and his army
• Remember I am not in control
• If I am not personally flexible, I will never be successful in
Gods calling
• Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely
on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in
everything you do, and he will show you the right way.
• Don’t get locked in
• If we are locked in our past successes, failures, troubles, etc.
we will be useless for the future God has for us.
• Stay open, flexible, ready for change
• We have to remain open to change that in Him will produce
growth. God is perfect!

10. Desire Change
• We grow through change not through complacency
• James 1:3 because you know that the testing of your
faith produces perseverance
• Hitting cruise control is easier, but it will lead to
spiritual complacency
• Revelation 3:15-6 I know your works , you are neither
cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So,
because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I
will spit you out of my mouth.
• Which way are you headed?
• Proverbs 1:32 For the waywardness of the naïve will kill
them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

11. Excitement for what God has out
ahead of us!
• The best days of our lives can be ahead of us
• Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
• James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from
above, coming down from the Father of the
heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting
sand.
• In His will is where we find perfect peace and joy
• Even in a prison cell!
• Paul talks uses the word joy multiple times even from his
cell.

12. Spiritual Maintenance
• We as a body commit to these things that are
necessary for walking through change in victory.
• Never lose sight of my need for His never changing word
• Realizing that the most important part of my day is
spent with Him
• Desire change and growth
• Continuing to seek His will even when I am not sure
where it leads
• GOD IS MY PRIORITY
