Greetings In The Name Of Jesus The Lover of My Soul!
While sitting in the service this morning at The Potters House i was taken in by the message that Pastor Jakes bought "The Power Of Surrender." Now as he began to speak about Jacob wrestling with the Angel i was listening and being blessed as the message unfold and compared to our life as being children of God. I thought on how we wrestle with things in our everyday lives. It could be based on bills,job lost, sickness ,dissapointment, fear,depression, discouragement and so on , you know the things we deal with. Sometimes when i'm in service God speaks to me and i write, so this question was given to me and that's how i got the title and wanted to share this with you today as to what was said to me about surrendering. When the question was asked, i replied, 'that is so powerful. Now to totality surrender means to give him you life, your mind your voice your talk and even your walk with him means giving him your overall you, the one he created to worship and serve him with your hold hear. Saying yes to him and letting him know that you truely trust him to be everything that he said he would be to you and everyone else. Now there are times when we feel the shuffel of doubt and interference , but if we can fastly grasp what and who were are focusing on we will fastly snap back becuase we have the word. To surrender to him means putting him first, yes he has to have first place in our lives because it is he that have made us ,and not we ourselves.
Putting him first means to seek him no matter what it takes and finding that secret place in him and knowing that you have sought until you found that special place where there is one on one communication with you and him alone. Oh just bask in his presence is the most ultimate rejuvenating thing you can ever experience! Remember when Moses went upon the mountain and stayed there until God was done with him and when he came down he knew that he had experienced an awesome powerful time with God that know man could have given him! I'm praising God as i'm writing this be cause he keeps giving me more.If you only knew how he speaks to me as i fellowship with him, as Pastor said God speaks to you in a language only you can understand because he's communing directly with you! I understood and could relate to what he was preaching . God is so faithful and forever mindful.
God wants that time with us like never before and it is so important to spend time with him on daily basis. My husband and i were on the way home from work and yes we were bought tired. So as we were approaching the downtown area, I heard the Lord say' tell him to go through downtown', i did as i was directed i said 'Ron lets take field street exit and go through downtown, his reply was 'well i'm just trying to hurry and get home( not in an angry way )and he said you must want to browse or something? i replied ,i was led for us to take this route,he said'well i'm just trying to get home'. I was reminded of something my Mother said "sometime the longest way home is the safest way home'. So as he took the exit we proceeded to come across the zang bridge and as we came upon zang and twelth as the light change the Lord had me look over at that same freeway and it was backed up as for back as you could see along with firetrucks,ambulances and ploice cars and traffic was at a standstill. I said Oh my goodness look at what we would have been in if we hadn't listen to the voice of God! He said 'thank you Sharon!
I said know thank God for telling us to go this way and we prayed for the incident that had taken place on the freeway and thank God for letting us make it home safely. Spending time with God is the most beautifuliest, awnessomeness, words cannot express thing you could ever do for yourself and others, because it prepares us from day to day that God allows us to wake up and do it all over again.I love God sooooooooo very much and am sure you do too. I could go on and on and never run out of things to say about surrendering your all to him and experiencing his ultimate goodness! How great is that ,better yet 'How great is our God!
I hope that by shareing my blog page with you, that you are and have been blessed and encouraged, and found time to laugh and to share with someone else.Until next blog time stay blessed and look for for inspirations that God has given me!
