Holy Surrender
We are starting a new series on surrender & obedience, part of Holy Living in the Kingdom. Paul commands, do not conform but be transformed. We, the church, desperately need a spiritual and moral transformation to become the holy body and perfect bride for Jesus. Through the supernatural transformation of individual lives into holy lives, God can reach the world to transform it and save it. The call to holiness is not just another unreachable goal, it is the transforming power of love rushing through us to our family members, our communities, our nations. It is to experience and establish heaven right here on earth through the purity of His presence in us. Let us explore surrendering to God as a necessary starting point.
How To Surrender All?
We describe in this session the how-to and give you essential considerations for surrendering. It all stands in the infinite goodness and faithfulness of God, and the trust we are able to put in Him. Fear is a big hindrance to surrender while faith in Him is a driving force toward complete embrace of Him and His promises. Letting go to let God.
Total Surrender
The divine fruits of surrender grow best on a completely dead tree. "See, we have left all and followed you", said the disciples to Jesus. "You did it for the sake of the Gospel", He answered. Many of us long to be a vessel of His glory, but few are ready to pay the price of total surrender. He doesn't necessarily ask us to quit our homes and families to preach in foreign lands, but He does ask us to give it ALL to Him, our first love and devotion. Not only we will carry the fruits of surrender, but His glory may flow through us in those loved ones, lost ones, and circumstances.
Holy Obedience
Obedience... who doesn't know how hard it is to obey? It comes against everything we stand for in our day and age. We believe it is bondage and slavery, when it is actually freedom, blessings, greatness, purification, eternal life, and power to bring the lost into the Kingdom! Who doesn't want these? When we know the goodness of our Father, it becomes easier. It becomes a decision of the will that takes away burden and brings freedom.
Absolute Obedience
Jesus is unarguably the perfect model of absolute obedience. We will start by studying the cost of His unshakable and bold obedience. The Bible says, He came as a man. He choose to let His divinity aside when on earth. His measure of obedience can be ours. So, how can we follow His footsteps? Let us understand absolute obedience by reviewing the hindrance of lukewarmness.
Hindrances To Obedience
As most of us know, hindrances are devices made in hell to prevent us to become the ones God created us to be, and to stop us to fulfill our destiny. We need to understand what are those hindrances, and it has nothing to do with God. On His side, He gave everything to make obedience possible and easy. What then is stopping us? Let us review the most common hindrances to obedience to God, and hear what Holy Spirit spoke through Lionel near the end. Our God is truly alive.
Knowing The Heart Of God Unto Obedience
Today we are exploring another way toward obedience to God. Knowing His heart through unity and intimacy brings an unshakable trust and confidence in Him and in His ways. We mention also the understanding of His heart through the testimonies of the giants of the faith of the past. Powerful lives of obedience. Dig with us and be blessed.
Fighting The Flesh Unto Obedience
This is the painful part, the hard part, but the rewarding part. Our flesh will try to survive the shots, but there is no new life (and no new creation) without the dying of our old self - our flesh. Hang on with us as we go through the weapons we all have against it. We are also reviewing the results of our obedience, and you want them, all of them. Don’t expect it to be easy, but expect great rewards.
