External Behavior vs. Internal Formation wk.10-3

0:00Glory, hallelujah, grace and peace, beloved. Today is Sunday, the day the Lord has made March the 8th, 2026. My name is Argy and I welcome you to another episode of God is faithful and just, with all things being relational. It's God and I say yes, with God being our primary relationship and when I say with God intended emphasis is added to the with God part of the statement, holy, hallelujah, with God. Listen, listen, how is everyone? You know, I spoke yesterday and the day before about the world systems governed by Satan to keep humanity in a perpetual state of going nowhere fast, which results in depleting

1:03one's spiritual, emotional and mental well-being. This family is why I continue to ask, how are you? We determined that being intentional about a day of rest, a Sabbath day, a day strictly dedicated to the Lord and detoxed from the world's system and the world's way of doing things. This indeed is just one of many solutions that the Lord has given us that He has put in place. In fact, it will allow the intimacy with God to deepen. You will hear His voice more clearly and you will gain a profound understanding of where we as God's creation started out, where we are currently and where we are heading.

2:08Here, doubt and anxiety will have no foothold where God's love, faithfulness and peace are present. For example, this current war that the West has engaged in with the Middle East should have a different bearing on us who are children of Yahweh, followers of Jesus and powered by the Holy Spirit. We, family, must know that when Jesus ascended to heaven, the last days began, therefore we know that times will become unraveled and people will turn more and more to lovers of self instead of lovers of God, and neither more so, the Antichrist must show himself. We cannot stop that, no, not at all, however we can and must remain strong and focused.

3:13As the world turns away from God, we, family, must take a solid stand with God. God tells us that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. And as the Apostle Paul said to those in Ephesus and family, as we pray, in fact, will pray what the Apostle Paul said, and that is now my beloved ones, I have said these most important truths or saved these most important truths for last. Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you.

4:15Put on God's complete set of arm or provider for us so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the Accuser. Your hand to hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms, for they are a powerful class of demon gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides you, so you are protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious. Put on truth as about to strengthen you to stand and triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart. Stand on your feet alert, then you will always be ready to share the blessings of peace.

5:16In every battle, take faith as you wrap around your shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one. Embrace the power of salvation's four deliverance like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies and take the mighty razor sharp spirit sword of the spoking word of God. Repassionately in the spirit as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. And pray also that God's revelation will be released through me every time I preach the wonderful mystery of the hope filled gospel. Yes, pray that I may preach the wonderful news of God's kingdom with bold freedom at every opportunity, even though I am chained as a prisoner, I am his ambassador.

6:21Father God in the name of Jesus, our Lord, we are your ambassadors armed and ready to do your will. In the mighty and mixed name of Jesus, our Lord, we praise, we pray and we confirm this prayer. Glory, hallelujah, family, we must stand with the Lord. That's our part. God is faithful. He will do his part. Our scripture to remember and live out this week is Romans chapter 12 verse 2, which says, do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Glory, hallelujah. Our contrastic appearance that the Lord has given us from this verse today, family is external

7:26behavior versus internal formation. That is correct. We need transform in the contrastic appearance and postures and perspectives are life under God where the perspectives we focus on outward behavior versus life with God with the perspectives God focuses on inward formation. Our scripture to the Lord has given us the flesh out this concept of external behavior versus internal formation is Ezekiel chapter 36 verse 26 where he says, a new heart and spirit I will put in this is the Lord our God and family if you if you don't remember this chapter from our reading of the Bible over the three years span that we did, I would

8:26like to give you some context of this chapter and this passage the the Lord commands the prophet Ezekiel to speak to the mountains of Israel addressing their desolation and the reproach they have suffered from surrounding nations. The Lord expresses his jealousy and anger towards these nations particularly eat them for taking possession of Israel's land and cause in its desolation. The Lord promises restoration stating that the mountains will flourish again yielding fruit for the returning people of Israel. The Lord emphasizes that his actions are for the sake of his holy name which has been profane by Israel's sins and their exile among the nations. The Lord declares his intention to cleanse Israel from their impurities and idolatry promising

9:27to give them a new heart and spirit enable them to follow his statues. My God thank you Jesus he he ensures them of abundance in their land free from famine and that they will remember their past iniquities which shame the desolate land will be transformed into a flourishing garden and the cities will be rebuilt and inhabited and family that is our focus of that chapter. That he will put in them a new heart and new spirit however I must inform you due to where we are currently how this chapter is if you don't remember that is the passage it concludes with a promise that the nations will recognize the Lord's sovereignty through the restoration of Israel as he will increase their population and will fill the waste cities with flocks signifying

10:32a return to prosperity and divine favor. So the overarching theme of this chapter family is God's commitment to his people and his name ensuring that his holiness is vindicated among the nations. Friends family God is in control we must abide hallelujah nonetheless we we are reading from Ezekiel chapter 36 verses 22 to 32 and we're going to read from the English standard version and again let that context hold you let what we are what we are deriving from concerning the contrast and the comparison let it let it take you in your spirit and bear fruit of the Holy

11:33Spirit that you may hear with the Lord is saying on today again Ezekiel chapter 36 verses 22 to 32 from the English standard version therefore the Lord is speaking say to the house of Israel thus says the Lord God it is not for your sake or house of Israel that I am about to act but for the sake of my holy name which you have profane among the nations to which you came and I will vindicate the holiness of my great name which has been profane among the nations and which you have profane among them and the nations will know that I am the Lord declares the Lord God when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land I will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness and from all

12:37your idols I will cleanse you and I will give you a new heart and a new spirit I will put within you and I will remove the heart of stone and from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh and I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues and be careful to obey my my rules you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers and you shall be my people and I will be your God and I will deliver you from all your uncleanness and I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good and you will load yourself for your inequities and your abominations it is not for your sake that our act declares the Lord God let that be known to you be ashamed and confounded your ways for your ways or house of

13:46Israel glory hallelujah thank you for your word this morning Father God friends family gods promise and he indeed promises internal transformation heart and spirit renewal which is perfectly in alignment with what Paul is talking about when it comes to transformation and chapter 12 of Romans verse 2 transformation is God's work for me not ours I looked up the Greek word for for transform and it's it's called metamorphful and it's the same word used for Jesus of transfiguration it describes a change that begins inside and becomes visible outside life under God tries to modify behavior but life with God allows the Holy Spirit to reshape desires

14:49to reshape motivations and to reshape our affections when the heart changes family behavior follows naturally so today reflect on where have you focused more on behavior than on the heart think about what in a world the Holy Spirit the Lord our God might be doing beneath the surface and acts as you pray today acts the Holy Spirit what are you forming in me today and open my eyes and my heart to see it that I might walk in alignment with that which you are doing that you might receive the honor the praise and the glory Lord Jesus we thank you today we bless you today we

15:49praise your holy name today for you are worthy worthy to be praised and as you have given us your word today dear Lord as you have bestowed upon us our bread our daily bread our bread of life we are thankful because we know that in this day and age in this time oh God this is a time that we are to be even the more vigilant that we are to be mindful of that which you are doing and align ourselves with you Holy Spirit that your power that is imputed unto us will work in us and through us and cause us to be and do all that you've created us for this is your hour that show will be done let us abide in you that you may take the honor the praise and the glory that is so rightfully do you we bless you today we thank you we thank you for fellowship with one

16:56another we thank you for fellowship with you we thank you for your revelation that you have given in us and through us that we may see you on a deeper and more intimate level we bless you today Lord God in the mighty and magnificent name of Jesus our Lord will give you praise family indeed remember do not be conformed to this world but be transformed I don't know of that word transfiguration by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect grace and peace be unto you with a forward to being with you here again on tomorrow and in the meantime family be a blessing and stay blessed
