Sometimes we fall into the habit of doing the same things, expecting different results. To get what you never had, you must do what you have never done. Regenerate is saying yes to health and life through a process of change and growth. Through Regenerate, you can go on a journey of self inventory, practicing spiritual disciplines, resulting in a dynamic spiritual transformation: “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until He comes” (Hosea 10:12). God wants us to get better, restores us back to health, and to grow us up to be more like Jesus. Put into action what God would have you do to Give up, Start up, Step up - becoming more like Him reflecting His character resulting in a transformation of body, soul, and spirit, becoming the best you can be.
By Design: God is the creator and designer. He has set up systems, rules, patterns, and principles of how things work. This is apparent in numbers. Numbers have meaning and we can learn a lot about God and the Bible when we look closely at the patterns of numbers. The number Three and Seven are whole numbers. They represent what is whole, complete, perfect, and divine.
Number Three: Thoughts, words, and deeds, complete the sum of human capability. The thing we must do to get what we never had begins with what we think, say, and do: “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24). As we pursue God, we are changing how we think: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things” (Philippians 4: 8). The goal is to become whole and complete person in Christ. We are changed through His love, righteousness, and holiness.
Number Seven: The number Seven has significant meaning in the Bible, mentioned 735 times. Seven represents spiritual perfection and completion in connection with that which it is used. God created the earth in six days and rested on the seventh. It was full and complete, good and perfect. There were Seven sayings on the cross – the Seventh is “It is finished.” Sin is falling short of God’s standard. In Proverbs, Solomon writes: “Though a righteous man falls Seven times, he rises again” (Proverbs 24:16). God uses numbers to tell a message that we will be perfected because of who and what Jesus did. It is grace and the goodness of God that gives you strength and success.
Love is multiplied: God’s grace will be multiplied in your life: “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” (2Peter 1:2). Whatever challenges, or lack in any area of your life, the love of God protects, prospers, brings restoration, and transforms you complete, whole, and perfect. What are you believing and trusting God to change and grow in your life through Regenerate?
