Surrendering to God

John 8:36 (NKJV) 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Salvation, healing and restoration take place on the inside of us when Jesus comes into our lives, when we believe God’s word to be true.

People say “well I don’t see or feel any change. Sometimes I still do the same old things I did before I was a Believer, a Christian or child of God”.

When we believe God’s Word, and all that He says about His Son, Jesus Christ, and we repent and put our faith in Him as our Savior, things begin to change on the inside of us. Whether we feel or see the change or not, we are being changed.

Some things are going to take us longer than other things. However, it has begun!

The most important thing to remember is that we will change depending on what we surrender to Him and depending on what we allow Him to work on in us.

If there are things that we feel we are still in bondage to, we need to ask God why. Maybe we are holding on to a small, but yet significant piece of something.

As we let go of those things and surrender them to Him, we will see change taking place in us, a little at a time.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-17

Surrendering to God

Matthew 19:21 (NKJV) 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

This verse has been used literally millions of times to teach people about the importance of not letting material possessions or worldly wealth come between us and our relationship with God. And rightly so.

But God showed me today that there is also a symbolic side to this verse that many of us may never have noticed. A double meaning that will show us even more about this.

When Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell all he had, he was also referring to selling himself out, surrendering himself completely to God.

Because we can sell all of our worldly goods, all of our material possessions, and still not enter the kingdom of God.

You might ask “how can that be?”.

You see, we can surrender our possessions and still never fully surrender ourselves. We can give those things away, but hold a grudge in our heart about it.

So if our heart isn’t right, and we give all of our material goods away, but we still don’t surrender our hearts, we have lost everything. We have no worldly goods, and we still don’t have a strong walk with God.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV) 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

So let’s be sure that we follow both parts of this verse; the literal part and the symbolic part!
