I am a jealous God who longs for a heart that is passionately devoted and surrendered to Me, embracing My authority and letting Me lead.
When you came to faith in Me, did you invite Me into your heart as someone who would help you live your life your way or did you surrender all to Me?
Do you feel the emptiness and lack in your relationship with Me and long for more, or are you experiencing fullness, abundance, and life?
I am calling you out from this dry and worldly counterfeit into the fulness of relationship with Me. It’s time to yield your whole self and life to Me. I’m calling you to invite Me to be in charge of your life – fully your Master and Lord.
My grace is with you as you step into the death of your old self and move into resurrection life in Christ Jesus – life in all its fullness.
Activation:
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you all the areas of your life where God is not fully in charge and say sorry for holding on to control over your life. Surrender every part of your life, inviting Jesus to be fully in charge and to direct you in all your ways from here onwards.
By faith, step forward into a life of following His lead and put your hands out to receive His fullness.
4 You adulteresses [disloyal sinners—flirting with the world and breaking your vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend [that is, loving the things of the world] is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says to no purpose [a]that the [human] spirit which He has made to dwell in us lusts with envy?
6 But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].”
James 4:4-6 (AMP)
9 For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus [a]every knee shall bow [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and that every tongue will confess andopenly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Philippians 2:10 All intelligent beings in the universe, whether saved or unsaved, whether in spirit or as mortal mankind, will acknowledge Him.
