Philippians 3:21 · World English Bible
who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
The body called lowly is the person as he now appears, worn thin by every belief in limit and lack. It changes not by force from outside but by the same imagining power that shaped it, working from within.
From the Manifestation reading below.

MANIFESTATION
The body called lowly is the person as he now appears, worn thin by every belief in limit and lack. It changes not by force from outside but by the same imagining power that shaped it, working from within. That power orders all things under itself, which means the whole field of a person's life answers to the state he inwardly holds.
Water takes the shape of any vessel it is poured into, quietly and without argument. A person's outer form takes the shape of his settled inner conviction the same way. When the low self-image is set down and a full one is worn instead, the body and its world are refashioned to match. The glorious form is not earned by struggle. It is what a person looks like once his imagination assumes his own greatness and holds it steady.
Manifestation lens
Which small story about your own limits have you been repeating so long that you stopped hearing it?
Water is the softest thing, yet it wears away rock. It wins by taking the shape it is given rather than fighting, and nothing outside it has to be forced.
We are made by what we think. The mind runs ahead and the person follows, so the shape of a life is the shape of the thought that led it.
A person becomes what he holds in mind. The inner conviction does not describe the self, it forms it.
