Come Home, Come Whole, Come Holy

"Back to the Original Design"

Romans 12:1-2 (NLT)

"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

Good morning Ekklesia Family

I hear the voice of the Spirit whispering:

“Come home. Come whole. Come holy.

Come back to My hands, My heart, My original design.”

“And so, dear brothers and sisters…”

Paul isn’t just speaking—he’s pleading.

By the mercy of God—

Mercy that healed you.

Mercy that kept you.

Mercy that brought you out and didn’t let you die in what you were in.

Give your bodies to God.

Not as a leftover… but as a living, breathing, holy sacrifice.

That’s real worship.

Not just a song, not just a service—

But a surrendered life.

Don’t copy the customs of this world.

They want to conform you.

To make you bitter when God called you to be better.

To make you blend in when God designed you to stand out.

But child of God—there’s a higher pattern.

A heavenly identity.

Let God transform you.

Not tweak you.

Not patch you.

But completely remake you.

How?

By changing the way you think.

Because if He can renew your mind,

He can release your destiny.

You’ll know His will—

Not guess it.

Not fear it.

You’ll know it.

Because it's good. Pleasing. And perfect.

That’s your original design.

Formed in His image.

Filled with His Spirit.

Functioning in His purpose.

And today… today is your day.

To let God change you back to who He created you to be.

As I write this, it is now 6:26 in the morning.

I hear birds outside chirping, singing—welcoming a new day.

If they can celebrate a new day...

You can celebrate a new beginning.

Right now.

No matter what time it is.

No matter what season you're in.

Your reset starts now.

Let’s pray.

Abba Father, I surrender.

Every part of me—body, mind, spirit—belongs to You.

Burn away the patterns I’ve picked up from the world.

Renew my mind with Your Word.

Align my life with Your will.

Take me back to the original design.

Let this day be the beginning of my transformation.

In Jesus' name—Amen.

And for anyone listening and reading this—if you’ve wandered, if you’ve drifted, if you’ve lost the blueprint—Jesus is calling.

Not just to save you from what you’ve done,

But to restore you to who you really are.

You are not your past.

You are not your pain.

You are His—called, chosen, and crafted for purpose.

Say yes to Him.

Join the journey.

Step into the life of a disciple.

You don’t have to walk alone.

We are Ekklesia—

The called-out ones, and we’re calling you.

Share this with 3 people and watch what God will do in everyone's life.

Peace and Blessings,

Pastor Stephan Kirby
