BE YE TRANSFORMED – YES YOU CAN!
Article by Apostle Connie Foster

Every month, I am probably the last one to submit an article. It's not that I don't know the subject matter, but it's because I am waiting on God to help me so that what I write will be an article that would empower you or help you get the breakthrough that is needed.

Let us first define the word, transform which means "to make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance or character of, to convert". So this means that by any means necessary, everything can be changed. We
can change the style of our cars, clothes, our appearance, our location or even our names. This is only to name a few.
Of course, we have begun a New Year and as often times we probably have made some New Year's resolutions. Every year we make a list of things that we are to do differently. Change must happen spiritually, physically and financially to move to the next level. Those three are always our main goals. Some we accomplish and some we fail. Could challenges be what really defeat us? Are we taking the correct steps not only just to start but for completion? I am reminded of the commercial that says, "I've fallen, and I can't get up". Then it shows us this button that you wear around your neck called "The Life Line". The next thing it shows us is the benefit to having it, how it operates and the cost of the device. It even shows us this great monitoring system of trained phone operators that know how to assist you in the time of need which makes their device work with efficiency. At the end of the commercial, it shows the one that was in distress being very grateful for their
