What does it mean to Surrender to God? | Ep. 79
Manage episode 388200165 series 3336181
Just surrender to God.
We hear it all the time.
But what does it actually mean?
And how do you do it?
Some of y'all are being told to surrender to God and you'd love to, but you just don't know how.
It's important to note that surrender isn't something you just do once.
It's a daily decision. It's a lifestyle. It's a moment by moment attitude and posture of the heart toward God, His Word, and the Holy Spirit.
Here are my 3 biblical definitions of surrender that work together in unison:
1) to cease resisting to God and submit to HIs authority
2) to give up or hand over a right, person, or possession to God
3) to abandon oneself entirely to the will of the Father and the Holy Spirit
I may be the first to tell you that surrender can be hard. But the more you do it, the easier it gets. It's like a muscle.
Surrender is letting go. It's giving over the need to control everything.
YoursSurrender leads to the peace and prosperity of your soul.
James 4:7 says, "Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
What you can't control, surrender to God.
It may be a dream, mindset, or future plan.
If it's leading to mental bondage, you need to put it in God's hands.
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." (1 John 2)
