Surrender To God!

If we don’t surrender to God we are walking away from God’s protection in our lives.
We must remain obedient.

Your obedience to God is you showing God that you love Him.
Signs happen in your life telling you what to do, how to have faith, where to go, God moves your life around to get you to move.
When you get to a place where you don’t understand what God is doing but you move forward in faith, that’s a blessing to God, and you will be Blessed too.
Pray, watch, observe. God does not make a promise and leave you just hanging there.

• Are you preparing for God’s promise?
• Are you taking the steps of faith in obedience for it to happen?
• Have you let the seed of God’s promise die, by not preparing for the promise, by not walking and living in faith?

It is easy to blame God because the road is hard, your future seems rocky and barren,
but have you wandered in faith in bad company, not following God, because if any of those are the case, then that is why your life is rocky and barren.

===

Always check your own life and your own walk with God before you start blaming God for the problems in your own life.

If you serve Christ the Father will honour them, will Bless them, will protect them.
The road to faith is living in faith.
Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

Prepare.
If God promises you something then you got to prepare for it.
Take the steps needed to make it happen and then God will do His part.

• Sometimes God takes things away to give you better.
• Sometimes a door needs to be shut before another is opened.
• Sometimes God allows the enemy to steal from you and then will Bless you 10 times more.

God wanted to promote and bless Job through the process of receiving from God, the process of being freed from mental poverty,
but the state that job was where he was worried and not completely trusting God.
So Job had to go through the process of patience, the process was necessary.
The same for you so that the love of money leaves your heart, and you will then be able to receive from God.

If you want the promise, you have to go out, walk it out, have a go, test yourself, test your faith, act in faith,
so that you can truly receive the promise.

God is piling up your multitude of Blessings at the appointed time that God has set for you.
Patience is a tough one, but we must learn to be patient, faithful, strong and true.

We must go through the process, as it prepares you to be able to receive what God has promised you.
Put your focus back on God, pray that God will have His will in your life, and let it happen.
Peter walked on water, looked back at the wind and waves, the problem, and then sunk.
Lots wife looked back, and became salt.
You have to let God cleanse you of what the problems are within you.
You can’t receive from God in depth when you are in mental poverty and lacking in faith.
If a big storm hits in your life and you are obeying God those are the times that you should be rejoicing,
because your positive heart will hear, as Job did, and Job gave it all up to receive and God was able to bring to Jog the double-portion.

Jobs process, tough times, God wanted to know why he was suffering, and in time he got to know who God really is.
We learn and get to know god in the hard times, not the easy times. Because in the hard times we learn so much about faith and relying only on God.

God expects you to change, He takes you as you are, but you cannot continually sin and stay in God’s heart. Surrender to God and He will deal with everything else.
Losing family and friends are not worth losing eternity. Close the doors to the enemy.

Some people have an agreement with their enemies, they open the door and let the enemy in, and God cannot help you because you are letting the enemy in you life.
This folksiness of I can do all I want and still be in good standing in God is rubbish, fake, false and wrong.

God will cover you, offer you a way out, but can’t help you if you bring the evil into your home and then let then tempt you.
Opening the door to the enemy, you are reaping what you sow, you are not allowing God to help you, and you wills seriously pay for it.

The sooner you trust God then God can restore you.
Keep pressing, go through it all, you will become an overcomer.

You will be free from all the things that are bothering you right now,it gets better, so hang on and keep going, God is with you.

There is nothing that is going on in your life that God did not know about.
Jesus was left alone many times, even Jesus wondered if God had forsaken him, and you will feel like that when you are dying to yourself,
when the you is taken out of you, God has you exactly where you need to be to grow, change, remove the unfaithful part within you, so that you can rely on God
 and be changed in all good things, and for the greater good of all, you are worthy and important.

Don’t worry, things are going to get better.

Your life is closer each day to receiving the harvest that God has for you.
Greed and lust, and spendingness, you got to get over your pride, materialism, weakness for vanities, or you will defile yourself with the harvest and do wrong.
So you and I need to change so that we are able to carry the harvest God is bringing us.

God wants you to be empowered in your faith, He wants you to speak your blessings if they are real and prepare for them.
Decree and declare that the devil has no power over your life and you will act as if it is so.
So tear down the powers of darkness in your life.

The devil knows that you are a threat to him, that is why you are a target.

So speak in faith and love for God, change your ways, stop asking the bad people to your life and home, stop allowing them to tempt you, and stop opening the door to them.

Say you believe that only money can get you trough life.
Then you become a Believer in God, and in doing so you still cling to the idea that money is your life security.
The love of money being the root of all evil tells me that God wants us to choose in faith between the love of money,
meaning to heavily lower the importance of money in our lives, and then heavily raise the importance of God in our lives.

Think of this.God chooses you before you were born for great work in the world.
But due to your heavily atheist and materialistic upbringing your faith in money, looking good for others, obedience to society,
desire for material gain, stops you from hearing and obeying God.

To surrender to God means to depart from all the ways of the materialistic society that you live in so that you can be of use to God, yourself and the world at large.
You and I are completely worthless to ourselves, God and the world if we are bought by money, things, vanity, ego, lusts etc.
