Are you surrendering completely to the Lord? Are you truly living a complete obedience to His Word?
If the Lord speaks to you audibly right now, are you willing to listen to Him? To listen to Him means you are willing to obey, to surrender. It means you FULLY trust in His faithfulness, in His provision, in His will.
But how can you obey the Lord and know His will if you do not have a relationship with Him and abiding in His word? If there is no ground you are standing on? It is not a duty to do to just read His word and marked it as done on your todo list. It is about a deep intimate relationship with the Desire of the nations, with the Almighty, with the King of kings, with your friend, with your tender Father, with the Spirit of God. It is a lifestyle that becomes a true desire to go deeper into His love because of who HE IS. Not because of what I need like a job, higher position, bigger house, or fancy trips or an earthly lifestyle that will never bring you a true joy or peace.
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
If you keep your mind focused on Him, you will not just have peace but A PERFECT one. The ultimate peace
If you do not have perfect peace, it means you are focused on your own life and the nature of God, it means you ignore the nature of God and lack knowledge of Him, your relationship with Him is either non-existent or you do not have the proper understanding of God.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God 2Peter:1:2
What are you on standing today? What is the type of ground you are standing on?
Surrender to the Lord now, give Him your all, He is worthy! Let Him come into you life, invite Him into your heart, He will take you where you can never go on your own. He will show you the true life. He will show you His glory.
He only satisfies.
| Obeying the Lord not out of fear, not to earn extra points or favor but out of love, out of trust that He is the Lord of all. Out of desire to live for Him and with Him. From the book of John: 1- Water Turned to wine. “And they filled them up to the brim” John 2:7 Surrendering to God and do what we hear from Him, do it in complete obedience, exceeding beyond what we’re asked, not out of performance but out of love, of honoring God, of giving glory to the King of Kings. Do it without hesitation, with all your being. 2- A noble man’s son healed. Faith with obedience brings healing “So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and he went his way.” John 4:50 – The noble man believed in the word spoken by Jesus, a word full of authority. He obeyed because he believed in whom He went to, asking for healing. 3- A man healed at the pool of Bethesda “Rise, take up your bed and walk” The man heard it, obeyed and while rising up, with this attempt of getting up, that’s when he instantly was healed. 4- Feeding the five thousand. Philip was put in a test of obedience. And if we were asked the same question Jesus asked Philip, what was going to be our answer? Will it be an answer that rely on God or ourselves? The reason of this test is: Success, it is not to put down. I would say that the outcome of obedience, is success and fruits. It is as well experiencing the glory of God. 5- A man born blind receives sight. It doesn’t have to make sense. Just listen, obey and act. if it’s logical, it doesn’t have faith. 6- Resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus was about to perform one of the most amazing miracles, raise a dead person from the dead, restore his organs, breath life again into him. And Jesus says: ‘Take away the stone”, so we might be partakers of the divine nature! 2Peter1:4 What a mighty and glorious God we serve. 7- The miraculous catch of fish. He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. John 21:6-7 Jesus gave them a promise, he just told them to throw the net on the other site, and it is guaranteed they will catch so many fish. With no arguments, the disciples just obeyed the Lord. The result of this obedience was catching so many fish that could not fit the net. It is important to be obedient to Him, to be fruitful. In verse 7: That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” The glory of God is always revealed through His work, the human heart cannot deny the presence of God in such situations. I feel when the disciple said this to Peter he was in an extreme joy, and relief! Their master is here, with them! I can see their eyes wide open and their hearts beating and jumping because He was there, with them, supplying their needs. The eyes went from the miraculous catch of the fish to the performer of miracle. To Him, be the glory forever. |
