Hey!!

I know it's been awhile since I've sent out a newsletter but the sun was shining again today so I thought, why not! I wanted to take a quick minute to encourage anybody that is feeling like you're waving a white flag of surrender towards Heaven! Jesus sees you and won't let you journey anything alone!

I can't do this on my own! I finally surrender all!

A Holy life isn't a "perfect" life but it's a surrendered life! To become one, in a real genuine relationship with Jesus, we must be willing not only to give up sin, but also to surrender our whole way of looking at things. Being born again by the Spirit of God means that we must first be willing to let go before we can grasp something else.

The first thing we must surrender is all of our pretense or deceit. What Jesus wants us to bring to Him is not our goodness or our efforts to do better, but real solid sin. Laying it all down before Him! And what He gives us in exchange for our sin is real solid righteousness. I'm soooo thankful for that AND His mercy!

Once we have done that, the Spirit of God will show us what we need to surrender next. Along each step of this process, (and trust me IT IS A PROCESS) we will have to give up our claims to our rights to ourselves. Are we willing to surrender our grasp on all that we possess - our desires and everything else in our lives?

If you are faced with the question of whether or not to surrender, I pray over you at this moment....do not be afraid of the unknown, the shame, any guilt or the road ahead...trust God with this process and surrender all that you have and all that you are to Him. He will make all things new again.

I promise you this, just as He is doing for me in my season of surrender, God will then equip you to do ALL that He requires of you. And peace will flow like a river!
