Intentional Transformation - 9781685706975

In his first study book, Nathaniel Jones delves into the principles, strategies, and challenges of studying, meditating, and applying the Word of God to our everyday lives. It is in these consistent, sincere, and often imperfect efforts that we will develop a deeper relationship with our loving Heavenly Father. In this soul-transforming work, Nathaniel builds upon God's foundational principle of love. It is love that captivates and motivates us such that we yearn for it and it only. It was this epiphany, despite years of being a pastor, church leader, husband, father, and son, that he began to grasp and embrace what he felt had been underemphasized in his ministry. With a renewed enthusiasm for the transformational work he was witnessing in his own life, he began sharing these enlightenments with others. This study is to inspire a personal relationship with God. It is not to support our religious beliefs or denominational doctrine but to help us learn, know, and live the truth and walk in love. Part of our conundrum is having a relationship with someone with whom we have no conventional physical connection. A personal relationship with God requires surrendering to the Spirit of God and intentionally studying His Word while also being transparent, reverentially relaxed, and open with Him. He knows everything yet wants a loving--not merely transactional--relationship with us. He wants to hear our voices, and He wants us to know His will. It is in these times that we can share our thoughts, stories, traumas, etc. with the One Who gets us--for with Him--we are always safe--emotionally and otherwise. It is in our relationship with Him that we begin to truly know who we are as His children, the seed of Abraham through Jesus Christ. In this way, we become the people God created us to be and live the successful, joyful, and peaceful lives we truly want and that He intends for us to live.
