HE Speaks on Surrender...August 2012

Fear is NOT of the Lord….If you have fear, anxiety, or worry…let’s call it as it is…a LIE!!!!  The enemy loves to hassle you on your weakness…

1 John 4:18 (NKJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.


So Lets Pray…Jesus...your word tells us you are ONLY of love…fear, worry, anxiety is torment and NOT of you!  In Jesus name I pray…I feel tormented…Hassled with these emotions…Please rescue me from the emotions of fear and replace them with your PEACE.  I TRUST you Jesus…to protect me…and provide the PEACE you offer ALWAYS!!!!  In Jesus name, I pray…Amen 
  

 SO often we continue to try to “surrender” our circumstances to the Lord…and some how we just continue to feel burdened by them. 

 Ultimately, I think we often find ourselves trying to lift “up” or “off” these burdens to the Lord…and yet not always feeling the peace.  Our minds picture surrender as something we “do”…but actually it is something HE does…

 Surrender is really confession.  It is verbalizing to the Lord where we are “at” the good…the bad…and the ugly…true honesty of what is on our plate right now.  And just…here it is Lord… Here I am Lord… I do not know what to do…I am “stuck” here…What would YOU have me do next?  What would you like me to know now?  Where do I go from here?  This is where the healing and transformation begins…

 When we realize surrender is not about us doing, but of HIM taking the load, and replacing it peace, love, grace, abundance…we are set FREE!

 If you are struggling with something…I would highly recommend to pencil in a date with the Lord…preferably away from your normal life..maybe the beach…the park…on a hike…or wherever you can just be real with the Lord…And just begin the conversation...

 Here I am Lord…this is where I am “at” right now…with all honesty and truth…the Lord want us to say it like it is.  Even if your feelings right now do not align themselves with Gods will…there is nothing wrong with saying this is how I feel.  Scared, frightened, alone, confused…angry…whatever the emotion…be honest. 

 Prayer:  God …please just meet me where I am “at” today.  In Jesus name…I want my heart to be right with you…Please take resentment out of my life…Help me to face the world again with a fresh perspective… Help me to focus on YOU in the future... Replace my pain with your Peace… Replace my hurt with your Healing…Replace my bitterness with your Love... 

Jesus…this whole life transition is SO much bigger than me…you have designed something I cannot see yet…I state my trust in You today… In Jesus' name I pray…Amen  


The rest is up to Him...you need not do anything else...He will surrender the anger, the fear, the guilt, the pride, the sadness, the anxiety...and ALL the other emotions for you...This is called AMAZING GRACE!  And you will get the peace...and surrender...finally!  AMEN!


  Christ is your BEST friend!  Beginning this kind of friendship…an amazing confident…will change your faith and your spirit will begin to soar in directions you never thought possible! 

 His holy spirit is truly the BEST gift we could have or want in this life.  We are part of the Church Age!  And we are SO fortunate to have this gift of the guiding spirit in each of us…AMEN!

HE Speaks...I will give you rest...

 Exodus 33:13-15

New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁴ The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”

¹⁵ Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.

I love the personal relationship Moses had with our Lord…He was candid with the Lord admitting vulnerabilities…and like a child, asks for the Lord to hold his hand…as the next step would be scary and hard… 

Our Lord has promised to NEVER leave your side…admit your challenges, and ask Him to be alongside and go ahead…as we take an unfamiliar journey…Amen

John 14:18

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
