Phase 12: This chapter talks about how we are constantly being transfigured into the Lord"s image. How? By continuing to behold Him. The word BEHOLD is to gaze upon. Joyce states, "We need to stare at Jesus and glance at our problems, not stare at our problems and glance at Jesus occassionally". He took our place, took the punishment we deserved. He became our substitute and these are the things we should meditate on. We have to understand the "principle of continuing". It requires a long-term commitment; not to give up. "We must continue to study His Word and worship Him.
Phase 13: God is a big God; nothing is impossible with Him and He is on our side. None of our enemies are as great as God. He is in us and he said He will never leave or forsake us; of who, then should we be afraid? "If God be for me, who can be against me".
Phase 14: God will provide. Most people are concerned about provision. Worship wins the battle. Scriptures says that God gives food and provision to those who reverently fear and worship Him. whatever your situation God can provide. Worship is wisdom: the reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the geginning of wisdom. This is found in Psalms 111:10. Knowledge is good, but it is better to have wisdom. Without wisdom a person can become puffed up. There is no lack in worship. God is everything, and He is worthy of our praise and worship.
