Surrender to Christ is important in the walk of a believer. Surrender is how you let Him now He is the Lord of your life. Surrender is a form of sacrifice. It is when you lay your will down and let Him direct your paths.
The Bible says in John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. Thisis an exampleofunselfishly giving way to the spirit of Christ. Ego and pride can keep the spirit of Christ out. God wants us to follow Him unconditionally and with alloutmind hearts souls and minds.
Mark 12:30 – And thou shalt love the Lord thy God witha l thy heart,ad with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with allthystrength: this is the first commandment.
This reaction involves letting go of your own will and ambitions and having n understanding ofGod to where you know and have come to trust him to a large extent. He wants you to have that relationship to Him.
Surrender lets God know that you are laying aside sacrifices in your own life to get closer to Him. God willnot suffer an idols. Exodus 20:3 – Thou shalt not have any gods before me. God has had many any idols destroyed throughout the Bible. Do you know of any idols that you may be harboring in your life that are obstructing you relationship to Him? He wants them removed.
There is no idol anywhere that can God can withstand than Himself. Even any in your personal life can stand to be an obstruction. The Most High wants your complete attention. He wants complete soverence in your life. You have to be willing to do what He says in your life.
Many find it difficult to surrender all in their life to God as they do not knowwhat is going to take place next. It is a walk that takes complete faith and trust to know that God wil not lead you wrong and knows what is best for you as a loving father and grand protector. Please do not let Him be far from you as He protects those that love Him.
Surrender helps tokeepone on the straight and narrow path as it gives God the opportuity to guide you outof harm’sway and protect you from a frwad mindset. One of the tactics beleiver’suse to remain pure is repentance. Repetance means toturn away from sin,or the transgression of the law of God. 2 Chronicles 7:14 – If my peoplehich are called by ynam shall humble themselves, and pray, ad seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then willI hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
God wants a faith bsed walk with us.He wants it to be sincere and not blocked witha false sense of beleif. Please seek His face today.
