Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2) In the 1993-1996 TV series Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers based on the Japanese cartoon characters, four teenagers are endowed with incredible transformation powers to fight evil. In fact, it was the power rangers which transformed or morphed its owner Haim Saban into a billionaire when he sold his share of the Fox Family Channel to Disney. The Bible tells us if we’ll renew your mind with the Word of God, we can actually be transformed like the power rangers. That word transformed is translated from the Greek morpho from which we get the English word metamorphosis and morphing. It is again used when Jesus was transfigured with the glory of God on the Mount of Transfiguration as He spoke with Moses and Elijah. And it is also found in 2 Corinthians 3:18 which says, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Morphed, changed, transformed, and transfigured are powerful words which describe what will happen to us as we spend time beholding the glory of God in the Word and in prayer. As we spend time renewing our mind by cocooning with the Word of God day and night, our outer being will be transformed like a caterpillar is changed into a butterfly. Instead of conforming to the corrupt image of the world and its lustful desires, we’ll conform to the image of the reborn spirit within us, the image of God Himself, which is created in righteousness and holiness. If we want power to change the world, then we need to take time to get away from the world and study God’s Word at least by reading these emails. As we meditate on the Word of God, it will literally change us from the inside out as we change from one level of glory to a higher level of glory approaching that of God. We all can be mighty morphin’ power rangers for the kingdom of God if we allow ourselves to be transformed by the renewing of our mind with the Word of God so we can release that powerful spiritual butterfly that is residing within us.Copyright © 2003 Eddy Ministries.
