Death no longer has dominion over Him. . . . the
life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be
dead indeed to sin, but alive to God . . . —Romans 6:9-11
‘Even the
weakest saint can experience the power of the deity of the Son of God, when he
is willing to “let go.” But any effort to “hang on” to the least bit of our
own power will only diminish the life of Jesus in us. We have to keep letting
go, and slowly, but surely, the great full life of God will invade us,
penetrating every part. Then Jesus will
have complete and effective dominion in us, and people will take notice
that we have been with Him.’ CHAMBERS
Are you hanging on to something in your life. Something that you feel you just can’t
release to God? Something that defines you.
Makes you feel safe. Perhaps it is un-forgiveness or a deep hurt that
you cannot release from your grip. You
might be thinking .. I prayed the prayer of salvation and I read my Bible. I go
to church to worship. But you know that
there is something deep within you that remains .. something hidden from others
.. or maybe you just think it is hidden … but that something keeps you from
experiencing the fullness of the new life you have been given in Christ. Let it
go …. Put it at the foot of the cross.
Romans
12:1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and
walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God
does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so
well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.
Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.
Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the
culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God
brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. (Message)
