How to Die to Self

We often speak of dying to self--but how does one do it? G.D. Watson provides some very practical insights on how to die to self.

First, the person who wishes to die to self must put off every ulterior motive for seeking Jesus. His or her only motive for seeking Jesus must be Jesus Himself. Second, we are to accept all humiliation as a cross. We need not create our own cross. Instead, every perplexity, distress, humiliation, hardship, or disagreeable thing is to bring us deeper into Jesus. Similarly, we must reject in our hearts the honor of those who would elevate us.

Next, we must deliberately live a simple life, by faith alone. When those we love differ with us on nonessentials, we are to yield to them in love. In essence, we as a daily habit seek our nothingness and God's allness in everything.

Have you decided to die to self? If so, did you come to a place where you said, "Jesus, I can go this far with you. But I can't go any farther." Or, do you press daily into a deeper dying?

The Terrifying Work of Demons

The Terrifying Work of Demons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqcrA... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqcrAuPfYA Pastor Ray delves into the spirit world to uncover the terrifying work of demons. We must know and engage in this battle and trust Jesus to fully deliver us. He uses the story of the demoniac in Mark Chapter 5 to uncover the enemy's game plan for you and me. Have you been set free by the blood of Jesus, or are you still enslaved? The battle belongs to the Lord, but we must engage ourselves in this battle through confession, repentance and trust in Jesus. The heart of Jesus is victory against every demonic power that would come against you. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=41536&feed_id=1015

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

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
