Ok so I've been a believer for almost 7 years. Basically, the past 7 years have been all over the place. I've been learning and changing slowly this whole time, but I never really truly surrendered to God fully. Some people drop their entire old life and surrender to Christ immediately, and some people take decades before they find the narrow path. I feel like I'm somewhere in between.
I was listening to a Christian radio station today and they were teaching a sermon about children and teenagers with strong-willed personalities, and how they're often very rebellious and Troublesome to their families. That was me, I have had a very strong-willed personality since I was a very young child. But they said that when that person becomes an adult, that strong-willed personality can become a good thing when used for God. When I was a teenager and in my early twenties, I wouldn't surrender to anyone or anything. I didn't even like holding a job because I had to surrender to a boss and a bunch of rules to follow. It's not good, it's rebellious and stubborn, but I feel like I'm finally starting to overcome it. I realize that being hard headed like that is simply a trait that God gave me but being used for the wrong purposes. In the positive sense, I think this type of trait translates as being bold for God and having strong faith.
anyway, after so much deliverance and healing during the past 7 years I feel like my flesh is finally starting to submit. My body is starting to feel lighter, I can't explain it, but it feels really good. I feel like I don't know who I am but I feel like I just need to walk in the Holy Spirit and not worry about what I look like.
