FRESH WIND FRESH FIRE
TIME TO SURRENDER
THE HARDEST THING IN LIFETO SURRENDER IS YOUR WILL
Luke 22:41-42
41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, 42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
Psalm 37:7
7 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him……..
Surrendering your life means:
- Following God’s lead without knowing where he’s sending you;
Hebrews 11:1-3
11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the men of old gained approval.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
- Waiting for God’s timing without knowing when it will come;
Galatians 6:9-10
9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
- Expecting a miracle without knowing how God will provide;
Hebrews 11:6
6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Mark 11:24
24 Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
- Trusting God’s purpose without understanding the circumstances.
Daniel 3:15-18
15 Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
