Transformed

Got washed by the Lamb, so I got a blood transfusion
The conclusion? Jesus gave his life for spiritual distribution
So my soul wouldn't go to jail in hell's institution
His salvation is more than trying to live saved Sunday to Sunday
But its how are you going to live when you're back to the world on Monday
To accept His sacrifice is to accept His salvation
Which means you must undergo a spiritual transformation
You don't have to make promises, God already knows you
He's got a plan and purpose for your life if you'll just let Him show you
We can't conform to this world, we have to be separate
And not become like that housewife who's desperate
Of course you're going to be talked about, He was talked about for us
Remember He reigns on the just as well as the unjust...you know Jesus??
So make sure your house is in order; don't live life on the border
You don't want to be left behind getting interviewed by the reporter
The time is shorter than ever for the time when He is coming back
Live life according to His will and keep it in tact
If you're not there yet, let God transform and mold you
So He can say "Well Done, my good and faithful servant" then behold you...

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Here at Truth: Exposed, I do my best to back myself up with scriptures and let God be God. I'm sitting here in the computer lab and that poem was not pre-written...it was my Daddy :) This is just part one of two posts dealing with living a saved life. My next post will be dealing with a theory that a lot of the "Christian community" believe in...so stay tuned. But while I'm here,...I can't tell you anything without first taking an evaluation of myself. To say that I'm a Christian, I must look at the root word: Christ. Which means what? When we accept His salvation, when are to become like Him. Anybody can go around claiming that they are saved and that they are a Christian, but until you are living according to HIS will, what are you claiming? The scripture says, "Be NOT conformed to this world..." You can't claim Christ but live the opposite. It's tragic because the church is transforming alright, but not in the way God would want. We seek quick fixes instead of permanent relief. We seek a "breakthrough" instead of letting God go through and break us from our past. Demonic forces and spirits are being accepted into the church (ex: homosexuality, adultery, lust,... I could go on) Come on people! Don't let that dance you did on Sunday be simply because of emotion. The true test is how you react to the fire when its just you and God? What happens when there is no music? What happens when you really want to let those "choice words" out? God wants to transform us because its only then that our purpose can be fulfilled. Don't worry about what over people think or say about you. If God be for you, who can be against you?

THS: Self Ministries

**Note: It has come to my attention that a lot of people don't know the origin of "Self Ministries." In fact, it has almost gotten out of hand. Therefore, I'm taking it upon myself to explain how this all came about.

The whole "Profitess" and "Self Ministries" came about because I had some ideas for a production that was supposed to take place at my church. I saw this character symbolizing deception. In what way? The bible says in 1 John 4:1-3:

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of
God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye
the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

In other words, "her" messages would cause people to go astray from the truth. The "Profitess" could take scriptures in the bible, turn them around and they would still make sense (HT people know what I'm talking about). How did "Self Ministries" come along? After getting the concept for this character, I felt that since she was a representation of the opposite, her attitude would be that it should be ALL about her; thus, Self Ministries. So where did I go wrong? I didn't explain what "daProfitess" was truly all about, and because of that, lots of people were/are being led down the wrong way. "Being in self" should NEVER be an excuse to sin. I guess I took for granted the different levels of "Christian Maturity." An example? Don't let "I'm in self" be your reason to use profanity nor let it be your reason to do anything outside of the will of God. 2 Tim. 3: 2, 5

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers... having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such
people turn away!

Then my S-I-C brought out an even stronger point. Whenever you have heard me say that I'm "daProfitess," you wouldn't acknowledge it as Profit if I didn't tell you. Am I right? Automatically, you would think Prophetess. And I realized that was very true. But if I wasn't called to be a Prophetess, what gives me the right to carry that title? People, if God ain't said, "This is who you are," then don't call yourself that title. Anybody can put a title in front of their name, but only God can choose you. I didn't realize the affect I made by creating this character. I'm a goofy person and I love to have fun, but if causes a person to stumble, its not worth it. I can't say forget I ever said I was "in self" or that I'm "daProfitess" because its left a mark. That's like a person who is known for wearing stylish hats. If that person stops wearing a hat for one day, someone will still ask what happened to the hat. Why? Because that mark has been made. Let the record show that I do apologize for leading anyone down the wrong path. Although my lifestyle never really conformed to that character, the characteristics of "daProfitess" were still evident. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, take an evaluation of yourselves and see where you are. It has NEVER been about us, it has ALWAYS been about GOD!!! Everyday should be, "God what assignment do you have for me?" Don't let your flesh control your actions. Flesh is the true definition of self; to let your flesh overtake you! Let God take over you! As Christians, we have no excuse. God is able to KEEP us from falling. Yes God has given us free will, but if you're not in the will of God, you're just wasting your time!

**At this time, I "retire" the title of "Profitess" (no joke). Until, God tells me, or even if I never receive a title, I'm simply Crystal Renee'
