"And He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light." Matthew 17:2Surely, the Mount of Transfiguration remained marked in the lives of the three apostles. They saw what they would later experience after receiving the Holy Spirit: transformed life. New spirit, new heart and new character. A character after the Father's, the Son's and the Holy Spirit's own character. This is the transformation that happens when you are born of the Spirit.

SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS
"How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." Psalm 36:7The experience of the goodness of God meets the spirit's needs and gives peace to the soul.

HUNGER
"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, "That I will send famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a famine of water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." Amos 8:11Satisfy your hunger while there is food, because the manna of God won't be around forever...
Unbelief, spiritual coldness, lack of love and fear are some of the signs that precede the arrival of this famine.

THE GOOD GROUND
"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience." Luke 8:15It has been extremely difficult to find good ground! It exists and is ready to receive seeds and fruit. But... Where can we find it among such contaminated ground? If at this very moment you feel the touch of the Holy Spirit, don't resist, surrender immediately because you have been chosen.

SACRIFICE FOR A CAUSE
"Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away." Hebrews 2:1When Daniel decided to fast and seek the will of God, he was willing to sacrifice for a just cause. For that reason, the Lord came to him. God sees the effort of those who want to be born of His Spirit and/or receive His Seal. There is no way that He will overlook the opportunity to establish His Kingdom in their hearts.

MY HELP
"Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God..." Psalm 146:5The word happy is written many times throughout the Bible. Is this a utopia? Were all of God's servants, including Jesus, exaggerating? No. Happiness does exist in this world, but in order for you to attain it, you must live in the dependence of the Almighty.

BY FAITH
"Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." Hebrews 10:38First of all, no one is just. But when a sinner becomes DEPENDENT on the Lord, there is faith. This faith is exactly what makes him just, pure and godly to come before Him.
But, if the just, pure and godly person stops being dependent on Him, then there will no longer be faith.
As a consequence, he will go back to being a lost sinner.
