surrendering all to God

When we surrender ourselves to God, we are saying, "God, we trust you, and we know what we're getting ourselves into." Imagine getting into a bus and being driven by someone you don't trust. It will not be easy to reach your destination, and there is so much to gain from being around him. Allowing God to do all the work will keep you from experiencing sadness, restless nights, and tension. That is why, in Matthew 11:28, Jesus urges us to come to Him with all of our burdens, promising us rest.

The reason is that he knows that we cannot accomplish or win alone. One thing we should understand is that the ongoing battle is not ours but rather belongs to Jesus. So, doing it on our own will have an impact not just on our spiritual lives but also on our health and mental well-being. God has sent angels to protect us; never doubt that God has your back. God simply wants us to pursue his kingdom, and all good will follow us.

Every time you pray, say this: "God, I surrender all to you." God knows that when you say "everything," you mean everything. This is the most powerful and brief prayer you can ever offer. I promise you that every time Satan touches you, he is instantly touching God. When he tosses curses, enchantments, and charms at you, he is provoking God himself. God has instilled in us the spirit of power, love, and self-discipline (see 2 Timothy 1:27). Worry prevents our prayers from being answered (see Philippians 4:6).

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
