The Process of Transformation by Shelly Mathis

Kremmling, Coloradoshelly.mathis@gmail.com

I am a renovating artist, and you are My masterpiece. I relish the process of recreation as I transform you into My image. Remember that while I am stretching and molding you, I never become discouraged at your progress, because I maintain the vision of you being finished and complete. Although I could accomplish your transformation in an instant, I do not want you to miss out on the benefits that process brings. Enduring the strain of challenges builds trust, for you gain an intimate knowledge of My faithfulness. Surrender to the process and enjoy the journey. Fighting against My techniques and striving to do it in your own strength hinders your progression.

Ephesians 2:10 (Amp) For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Seeds of Liberty by Shelly Mathis

I have decreed a release of debt and bondage in this Jubilee season. However, in order to reap the harvest of liberty, you must sow seeds of liberty in others. Now is the time to grant a release to those you are holding in bondage. These are bound with ties of unreasonable expectations, ties of control and fear, and ties of unforgiveness and offense. Be sensitive as My Spirit reveals the ways you have others bound. Deliberately choose to set them free. Sow generously, and you will reap an abundant harvest that will release you into My flow. Yield to My anointing, and choose liberty.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

Poise Under Pressure by Shelly Mathis

To those of you feeling squeezed by current circumstances, rest assured that I am allowing these tribulations for your good. I am after that which weakens your vitality and hinders your progression. You can choose how you will respond. You can buck the pressure, shirk the pressure, be crushed by the pressure, or yield to My divine purpose behind the pressure. When you surrender in absolute trust, the pressure is transformed into a sword that severs your chains of bondage. My aim is to set you free, not to hurt you. Resistance will cause you pain and trouble, so yield willingly. 

Romans 5:3 Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.

PURE GRIT by Shelly Mathis

grit = firmness of character; indomitable spirit; pluck

Look. I am opening your eyes to discern the weapons formed against you by the enemy. He has sent a beguiling enchantment to draw you into slothfulness of mind, body, and spirit. It comes on the wake of difficulty to lull you into a place of apathy and defeat. When the going gets tough, pure grit is required. Align your spirit, soul, and body with Me and refuse to be defeated. Remember who you are in Me. Rule in the midst of your enemies!

Psalm 18:37-38 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed. I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.

What would happen if you just changed your perspective and believed what My Word says about that particular issue? Take it to its logical conclusion. That’s right… it would set you free. Like the individual links of a chain snapping asunder, one accepted truth would lead to another, one act of forgiveness would lead to another, and your bonds would be broken. This act of obedience would bring healing - of spirit, soul and body. Choose today. The path of liberty and bondage, of light and darkness, of truth and error are before you. Choose wisely. It’s worth the risk of abandoning the familiar comfort of that old prison cell. Be free!

Psalm 107:13-14 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their chains in pieces.

Cooperating with My purposes in this season is like running a race. I want to elevate how you run. Resist the temptation to run on adrenaline. Allowing stress and frustration to propel you will only cause pain and trouble. Rather, make the choice to ascend the natural into the supernatural. Yield to the pure flow of My Spirit. This elevation will empower you to run with anointing and to accomplish all that I set before you. The issue is whether or not you will let go of self-reliance and self-protection and truly trust in Me. Doing so will enable you to access healing of wounds that are hindering your spiritual progression. Rise up and advance with courage.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
