Absolute Surrender

Absolute Surrender This is the way of God shown throughout...

This is the way of God shown throughout the scriptures where God calls us to make an absolute surrender to Himself. Pastor Ray focuses primarily on the story of Abraham, who made that complete giving of his life into the hands of Jesus, even though it wasn't a pretty or easy process. He uses some other examples as well.

The question is whether or not have made that decision to absolutely surrender your life to Jesus and then actually done it? It's not a one time but rather a continual decision as we seek to serve and love Jesus with all of our heart!

I'm going to include a quote from Andrew Murray from his book aptly entitled "Absolutely Surrender" and another one from author Theresa Reyna, a godly author who has a wonderfully tender heart for Jesus.

Any one of you that does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple (Luke 14:26, 33). Isn’t this the reason for our feeble spiritual lives and the reason that the Holy Spirit does not fill us? We have never forsaken all to follow Christ.

Murray, Andrew. Absolute Surrender

Jesus wants to live His Life through us, and this can only come as we are crucified with Him. We cannot fix ourselves in our own strength; only through total surrender to His will and a deep, internal, transforming work in our hearts will we be made whole.

Judas?

Judas? Judas had a hidden agenda and would... Judas had a hidden agenda and would not accept Jesus for who he is because his expectations were not being met. Have you dealt with this Judas spirit or will you allow it to destroy you? You need not be a Judas but must allow Jesus to fully change you and deal with bitterness, resentment, pride, judgment and/or your lack of love. Do it quickly because this Judas spirit will quickly lead to betrayal and you will become a betrayer. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10162&feed_id=4077

Set Your Heart on Jesus

Set Your Heart on Jesus https://youtu.be/xhm9_x_nKUU Using... https://youtu.be/xhm9_x_nKUU Using Malachi, John 14, and Galatians 5, Pastor Ray asked the question have you made an acceptable offering before the Lord, where you have divorced your sin and have been crucified with Christ or have you offered a profane offering before the Lord? That's only a question you can prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit. May you set your heart like flint to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, He is enough but the only acceptable offering to Jesus is everything! https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3908&feed_id=3386

The First Love - 2004

The First Love - 2004 In this Christmas season and in our cul... In this Christmas season and in our culture it's a great temptation to sentimentalize the birth of Jesus. Today's message cuts directly against that, with the question of what is your first love (from Jesus message to the church of Ephesus)? That can be readily determined by looking at your checkbook and reviewing how you've spent your time and resources. Does the first love of Jesus burn in your heart and is that the focal point of your life or is there another love? It's time to get serious and deal with this issue, will you do so today??? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=11206&feed_id=2743
