Surrender to God – Part 3

SURRENDER TO GOD – PART 3

This is part 3 of our series on what it looks like to surrender to God.

Do you know where the WHITE FLAG COMES FROM? A Roman historian named Cornelius Tacitus wrote about it in 109AD speaking of the fall of the Eastern Han dynasty. Before this moment Soldiers would lift their shields in a sign of defeat.  Yet that blinded in and often fighting keeps happening.  So, soldiers started pulling out white cloths and would put them on the end of their swords and wave them saying….we quit, we surrender.

2 Chronicles 7:14 

PS 37:23 

May I follow God’s direction and conviction over my desires and wants today.

I CHRONICLES 4:10

Pray the Armor of God over your family every day.

This is found in EPH 6:10-20.

Pray – Lord give me the strength to WIN the battle over SIN today and to walk in peace and freedom!!

John 6:63

Revelation 3:7

Today I Trust the path you have for me.  Lord, I recognize that where I am is where you want me today, may I make the most of it.  I chose to find joy in the doors you open, and I accept the doors you shut no matter how hard it hurts. 

Phil 2:13

Prov 3:5-6

This is trusting in the Sovereignty of God.  Trusting in Him being in charge. 

Jer 7:23

We speak of faith steps often so how do you pray for faith steps?

Joshua 1:9

Proverbs 4:25-27

Acts 1:8

Ex 33:15

Matthew 19:6

Pray Daniel 5:20

PS 90:17

Romans 12:20

Lord give strength to find freedom in forgiveness and letting go. You know there is a truth about forgiveness…. forgiveness is not something we offer to another but for us to find freedom for ourselves.

We live a surrendered life to Jesus because we KNOW we cannot do it on our own.  We need to set aside all the pride, arrogance, that we have as sinners and GIVE IT ALL to Him.  Once we do that we will start to see His Blessings in our life.
