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 Kingdom of Cain (October 2006)

In today's classic sermon, Pastor Ray distinguishes the "Life on God's Terms" with the "Kingdom of Cain" who wanted to have be in charge of his own life. Despite Cain's great sin, God still called after him and his call is that we lay down our lives in service to Him. Will you be a Cain or a Daniel? God never forces us to serve him but yet he continually calls us to lay down our lives to Him. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/06-25-2016-the-kingdom-of-cain-saturday-sermon-classic-october-2006-2/?feed_id=176&_unique_id=643165783b58a

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

The Amazing Grace of Jesus Christ (October 14, 2015)

The Amazing Grace of Jesus Christ (October 14, 2015) (Note: Since the broadcast on January 7... (Note: Since the broadcast on January 7 further told the story of John Newton, we are posting the broadcast from October 14.) Can God save the worst of us? The hymn Amazing Grace that has touched the lives of millions was written by a very unlikely candidate to have embraced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This beautiful hymn of Grace was written by a slave trader. John Newton was a hardened man who had sailed the world, seen it all and profited from the buying and selling of human beings. Sometimes the very worst can become the very best. Listen to this inspiring story of repentance, forgiveness, redemption and our Lord’s Amazing Grace. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3774&feed_id=4166
