To be transfigured by God means a physical experience of divine revelation where you catch a glimpse of God’s glory with effects on your body, soul and spirit. Did you want to experience a powerful transformation like the transfiguration of Jesus Christ? Then today’s message will guide you on the steps to take for you to be transfigured by God.
Transfiguration of Jesus Christ and others in the Bible
Throughout the Bible, we find several instances of transfiguration that provide insights into this powerful transformative experience.
1. Moses’ transfiguration
Moses was transfigured by God and his face radiated with a divine glow after spending forty days and nights in the presence of God at Mount Sinai.
This radiant glow served as a testament to the transformative power of engaging with God and symbolized Moses’ role as a mediator between God and His people.
“Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.” (Exodus 34:29)
2. Elijah’s transfiguration
Another example of transfiguration is found in the life of the prophet Elijah. After series of challenges and trials, Elijah reached a breaking point, seeking refuge in a cave on Mount Horeb.
It was in this moment of despair that God revealed Himself to Elijah, not through a mighty wind or an earthquake, but through a gentle whisper.
This encounter with God transformed Elijah’s perspective and renewed his sense of purpose, propelling him forward in his prophetic ministry.
“And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” (1 King 19:12)
3. Transfiguration of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ was transfigured by God in the presence of Peter, James and John. His face was shining like the sun and his clothes were as white as light.
This extraordinary event serves as a powerful symbol of the transformative power of God’s presence.
“And He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” (Matthew 17:2)
You can also be transformed by God if you seek for this unique experience. I asked for God’s transfiguration and I experienced it.
