Mark 1:40-45
Leviticus 13:45-46
HOW TO MAKE CHANGES THAT CHANGE
1- There are 4 steps to change: First we must want to change. Second, we must develop goals and intentional framework to change. Third, we consciously and constantly regulate ourselves to maintain change. Four, we practice this cycle over an extended period of time, so much so that the change is done so many times consciously that it becomes an activity we do unconsciously.
2- There is a death to self part of change. A "carry the cross" part of change. A "I'm not looking for self help" type of change. This is a revelation, that it is not change you seek.... it is to be cleansed and made new.
3- Your creator cannot change and cleanse you until you know fully who your creator is; who Jesus is... he is benevolent.
