Submit and Surrender

Submit and Surrender

Submit yourself fully and completely unto Me, says the Lord. I want your total surrender.  You will lose control, and that will give way to Mine.  You will then relinquish your lower thoughts and ways to My higher thoughts and ways that will bring you up to a higher level than you thought possible.  The lower you become as you humble yourself before Me, and yield yourself, the farther you will ascend into My glory.  Dependency upon Me is not weakness, but wisdom.  Come as a child.  No nothing so that I can show you everything that you need to know.  Come empty, for I cannot fill vessels that are already full of other things.  Come hungry and thirsty for Me and My righteousness, and you will be filled and fully satisfied, says the Lord.

I will not force you to obey My voice, says the Lord.  You are not a puppet, but have been given free will and choice.  I want you to first be willing, and then obedient.  Make My presence your pursuit and your priority, and you will be amazed with the results.  In weakness you will find new strength. In silence you will hear My voice.  In the sorrow of heart I will give you gladness and unspeakable joy.  For pain, I will give pleasure.  I Am drawing you nearer, and calling you to come up higher, says the Lord.
