STRENGTH IN FAITH.
PURPOSE IN CHRIST.
Governed By The Word To Make Disciples.
are you ready to surrender?
Jesus Christ is not seeking admirers. He is calling for disciples. He is not extending an invitation to add Him to your life. He commands that you deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. The throne of your heart belongs to one ruler alone. If Christ is not Lord over your life, then something else has occupied His rightful place.
The Kingdom of God is not established through negotiation but through surrender. Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The only question is whether you will bow willingly today or be compelled to acknowledge His Lordship on the day of judgment.
Lay down your rebellion. Lay down your pride. Lay down your excuses. Lay down your sin. Lay down your own wisdom, your own ambitions, your own plans, and your own authority. You were never created to govern yourself. You were created to live under the righteous government of the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
The cross is the dividing line between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God. Christ shed His blood so that sinners could be reconciled to the Father, but reconciliation requires repentance. The call of the Gospel has never changed. Repent, believe the Gospel, and submit yourself completely to Jesus Christ. Partial obedience is still disobedience. Partial surrender is not surrender.
Today the Spirit of God is extending mercy. If you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Turn from your sin while there is still time. Call upon the name of the Lord. Confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Believe that God has raised Him from the dead. Receive His forgiveness, His righteousness, and His Spirit. Leave the dominion of darkness behind and enter the Kingdom of His dear Son.
This is more than a decision. It is a transfer of ownership. Your life no longer belongs to you. You have been bought with a price. From this day forward, let every thought, every word, every desire, and every step come under the government of Jesus Christ. Let His Word become your standard. Let His Spirit become your Guide. Let His Kingdom become your pursuit.
The King is calling.
The door of mercy stands open, but it will not remain open forever. Surrender your soul to Jesus Christ today. Yield completely to His Lordship, and walk in the life, freedom, and eternal inheritance that only He can give. If you're ready to walk through that door and never look back, I encourage you to pray the following prayer out loud, confessing it with your mouth and believing it with your heart.
Heavenly Father,
I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. Your Word says that all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. I acknowledge that I have sinned against You and that I cannot save myself. I repent, and I ask You to forgive me according to Your great mercy. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
I believe that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, that He died for my sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, and that on the third day You raised Him from the dead. I believe that He is Lord.
Your Word declares that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Therefore, with my mouth I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and with my heart I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I call upon the name of the Lord, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Lord Jesus, receive me as Your own. Wash me in Your precious blood. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Let old things pass away, and let all things become new. Deliver me from the power of darkness and translate me into the kingdom of Your dear Son.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Cause me to walk in Your statutes, keep Your judgments, and do them. Write Your laws upon my heart and in my mind. Teach me to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.
Help me to love You with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength. Give me a hunger for Your Word and a desire to obey Your voice. Establish my steps in Your Word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
I thank You that Your Word says there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Keep me faithful until the end. Present me faultless before the presence of Your glory with exceeding joy.
I ask all of this according to Your Word and in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
