I just want to share and thank everyone for prayers I posted awhile back on the prayer wall. There was a stronghold in my life that I couldn't seem to overcome. I requested prayers for this and as I continued to believe for God to answer the prayers things were starting to happen in my heart and spirit. Not long after, my spirit, body and emotional state became totally bankrupt, and I knelt down on my knees and cried out to Abba, Father, I surrender...I surrender it all, every little thing that I have held onto thinking I could deal with I now let go and give it to you. I admit that I am powerless over my life and situation and that it is you and you alone who can deliver me. I surrender my life and I ask you Jesus to be the Lord of my life not just my savior.( Graciously, the Holy Spirit revealed that although I asked Jesus in my heart and confessed Him as my Saviour, I never surrendered my life completely to allow Him to also be my Lord.).....complete surrender is what has been my stumbling block all along. To completely say to Him, not my will but thy Will Be Done. (I am guilty of getting into jobs and relationships, etc without asking Him and acknowledging Him first, and over and over again the outcome was disastrous.) I always had a little bit of anxiety about praying and asking God for direction and when I would hear Him say go here or go there...i would reason and said that was NOT God because I would never work in that type of job, or move to that city....etc. So in hindsight I realize how many times I missed Him trying to lead me in the right direction. I ignored that "check" in my spirit when it was saying...no, no , no... , or His voice speaking to me instructing me what to do. I can understand why He calls us His children...we are constantly and forever dependent and in need of Him to guide us, teach us, and provide for us our every need.
I can say with confidence that the stronghold left that night and the Jesus moved in.
