Transformation - How we care for our bikes; is how we should care for people. Matthew 5: 1-12

​The Mechanic and His Shop Workers work with the Be Attitudes.

The Lord has shown me something interesting from Jer. 18:1-6 & Mat. 5:3-12; with a mechanic & his shop crew.  They can take an old bike put it on the rack and restore it. The restoration of this bike gives it a new look & attitude. This is the Potter (God) putting us on the potter wheel (rack) & his crew (Jesus & the Holy Spirit) helping & changing our attitude. You see, the potter and his crew are in a agreement with a complete vision of restoration and build a new attitude (be attitude’s) in us. The Mechanic & his crew do the same to an old bike. Read this tract and watch the transformation and attitude change while working on this bike.

The Partnership Jeremiah 18: 1-6The Mechanic (God) has a vision for the bike.  He picks it up and takes it to the shop (potter’s wheel) to be restored.  The crew (Jesus and the Holy Spirit) helps with turning the bike around.

Be Attitudes Matthew 5: 3-12
​
V.3: Paint Job
Old and faded paint on a bike represent us with our old and custom ways.  We are spiritually poor.  When we recognize we need help, God helps us find our way to the kingdom of heaven here on earth.  This gives a new life.

V.4: Kickstand
When a bike is laying on the ground it is in a sad shape.  It shows that someone doesn’t care about it like they should.  The same as when problems occur to us, we become sad.  Let’s put the kickstand down & show the bike can be held up.  Let’s lift other’s spirit and give them a boost of comfort.

V.5: Tires, Suspension, and Seat
When these parts are in good condition it gives us a good ride. We get to our destination   without aches, pains, and comfortable.  Be gentle to others or those in need and help them get to their destination comfortably.

V.6: Gas tank and other fluids
The gas, oils, and other fluids give life to a motorcycle.  In our spirit walk we are thirsty and hunger for the word of God.  Spread the word and top other riders off with life and joy.

V.7: Painter
A painter gives a new paint job to make a bike look better.  When the trinity helps us, we become better and renewed.  Let us help someone become a better person.  The Lord did show his mercy on us; return the blessings to others.

V.8: Motor
When hearing the motor running good, it tells a rider it will get them to their destination. A true heart shows the true works of the Lord, it will get us to our destination to be with him and help others.  Let us be true so they can see Jesus in us.
 
V.9: Mechanics
When he fixes the bike it begins to run good.  You, as a rider will feel peace about a good bike.  Let’s help develop peace in the lives of others we come in contact with.

V.10: Emblems
When we show the glory of God through our bikes with details of him; people will come against the details.  In the end the details honor him for his righteousness.

V.11-12: The Rider (the mission)
We will have people coming against us as being a helper for the Lord.  We must cling to the potter and his crew and takes on the “be” attitudes, and rejoice for in the end we will be with him.
​
Closing
Lord, Let those who read this tract understand partnership and how correct attitudes can bring glory to your kingdom.  Cause this message to bring us to a convection to help others become restored. 
Amen.
